Troy Baker!
...Oh no...

Of course I get it. He is a fucking badass, one of the best villains of the gaming history.

The thing is... Regarding smash I value uniqueness over lore. In battle he definitely will blend with Fire emblem universe just like Terry Bogard with Street Fighter.

Final Fantasy 7 has a huge presence and his character is amazing I give you that. If we got a story mode like Subspace emissary, I would be thrilled

I'll get Min Min and Steve for now

Another year, another big load of fucking nothing from Bayonetta 3. Jesus. Between Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 .... I at least understand Prime 4, but come on man.

Haha you know me well. 

Honestly that alone was enough to satisfy me. It was a shame Nintendo themselves had nothing to show as far as new/upcoming games, I feel like they dropped the ball by not taking the opportunity to drop a new BOTW2 trailer or finally show Bayonetta 3, but no point dwelling on the negatives, it's not like I'm short of Switch games to play, they could release nothing first party at all in the first half of 2021 and I wouldn't run out of stuff between Age of Calamity, Doom Eternal, Immortals, Ori, Sniper Elite 4, Trine 4 DLC, and MH Rise.

Meh

Story is fine though. Watch it on YouTube 

Well, the only way to know the story without playing is to watch other people playing. I disagree with people here saying the story is not good

I found the story actually pretty nice and the universe is also interesting (or at least has some potential, I'm waiting for a sequel), that's why I advice him to watch it on YouTube

About the gameplay, being a debut IP it certainly has some major flaws. I think the game make a really poor job teaching you how to play, I remember I spent 4 days trying to beat a force-shielded chimera only because I had no idea how to disable it. I disagree the gameplay is intuitive at all, it's a mess. Over 30 hours in and I still don't know how to battle properly with the archery unit (which is stressing  because you need to use it to win some battles)

Indeed the game is make use of your units much better outside battle, as you can use them to solve mini puzzles in the maps and unlock some items 

The chimera worlds is awfully designed, it's confusing, boring and repetitive and they are so conscious about that they created an Iris function to guide you, because it's virtually impossible to know where to go without it

It also has a very confusing investigation system that took me forever to realize its importance, and locked me for quite some time in some sort of mini games that I never know what exactly the game is rewarding me for doing them 

In time. It worked and JP dub is much better than western's, so thank you I guess 

I'm used to JP voice acting from animes, overall I find them superior to english voice acting. Besides I like the idea of experiencing something in the language it was created that's why I don't watch movies (either animated or live action) dubbed in other languages, I would read mangas in japanese too if I could

There are very good english dubs for JP games though, Fire Emblem Three Houses comes to mind, I prefer English's, and the fact the actors were all over YouTube promoting the game made me enjoying even more their work
