@Ralizah In VA, one of the most important things, imho, is typecasting. Does the voice sound like it matches the character? Imagine giving the voice of a gruff, soldier to a schoolgirl, or vice versa. That's one of, if not the most important aspect for me, and they nailed this in Stella Glow.
I hated her voice at first, but got used to it later. Plus, quite important to note, is that she only spoke during cutscenes and that blood-moon thingy, so even if it was grating, it wasn't close to frequent enough to really matter to be frank.
But yes, language options should be a standard if you ask me. Nothing wrong with giving people choice, it only includes more people to buy one's game.
@Iceclimbers You remind me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT4-Th6sX-k The humour, the banter, it's very well done indeed. But that's what I mean with typecasting. The voices fit the characters and that's arguably more important than what they say.
@StuTwo@Ralizah Guys, I'm fine with you two discussing, but please could you not use the word ''rape''? The profanity filter goes mental every time that word is used!
Good news, more companies are giving the resolution vs. framerate choice that has been rather limited on consoles before FE Warriors. This time it's Hitman on XB1X, it seems you can either have 4K/30fps or 1080p/60fps.
@Grumblevolcano Isn't that standard for the mid-gen upgrades? Not all of them do it, but I've read about various games offering those options. Tomb Raider comes to mind...
@Grumblevolcano Great - Spend $500 on a console mid generation upgrade for games to maybe be supported (Which is the same issue on PS4 Pro) just to access some graphics options that should be on the basic platform anyway, on a platform ecosystem with barely any exclusive that you can play on a PC that'll have a longer library life and gets all those games for the entirely real possibility of better performance than even that offered on the Xbox One X.
What an absolutely maddening value proposition. I can't see why anyone would in any way think that's a dumb deal.
What baffles me more is these games that go Pro Patches or X Patches...they don't get the same resolution changing functionality on the base models. Why? Its clearly not hard. Just add another resolution that's within range of the PS4 and Xbox One and do that if its so "Easy, cheap and quick" to make these patches at all like the platform makers say. Or do they not want a selling point for these refreshes to vanish?

@Snaplocket Complains about Fates being from a vocal minority? Some rather prominent people have voiced their discontent with it though, and there have been rumours that people have been replaced of their position within Treehouse because of this. It's certainly not a consequence free happening.
Xseed and NISA's localizations may not be as "top notch" as Nintendo's are, but Nintendo frequently skimps on VA and their writing isn't always the perfection you make it out to be either. All the previous FE's have been rather bland so far I've red, to take an example.
@Snaplocket 8-4? Hahaha it's ironic how you name them, and SO MANY people within the FE community gave them a hard time for doing the localization of Awakening, though personally, Awakening is my favourite.
@DarthNocturnal Well, that's a case of to each their own. They tried to avert that blandness with Fates, though arguably it went into too much the opposite direction (Isanah anyone?)
That said, I look forward to what they can do with the Switch FE, having gotten a good taste of models and interactions via FE:W.
Well didn't this devolve into a hot topic we will never see the end of. Watch, as it spins in circles tirelessly everytime someone breathes.
Anyway, anyone expecting XC2 amiibo to be announced?
No, hopefully not. There weren't any for XCX. It's a more adult orientated game and they wouldn't want crap like that, well I don't. Sure Bayonetta got an amiibo but that was for Smash Bros. She didn't get a line for her own game. Yes she predates Smash but only by a couple of months but many other got amiibo support added in post release and their own figure, e.g Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, even got a Collector's Edition.
The mid gen upgrades may not appeal to everyone, but I think it's a stretch to infer there's no value at all or to question why anyone would buy them.
For one, PS4/X1 is worth owning, mid gen upgrade or not. There's just so many games- and regardless of whether or not they are exclusive they are good games, and people like to play good games. Simply saying "they're on PC" May be a perfectly fine rationale to skip out for some, but not everyone likes dealing with PC gaming. I for one have grown to despise it. Vibrations in the ground accidentally turn it on and out of sleep mode so I have to power it all the way off. 4K resolution incompatibilities with my TV, games pulling up a black screen and having to google search certain files to put in the installation folders and editing config files get a game past the launcher, certain games not having full gamepad support, no physical copies, DRM, etc. There are a lot of reasons I would rather buy a game on my PS4 Pro or Xbox One X than my PC.
And if you're going to buy one of those consuls why not spend the extra hundred dollars and get one that you know is going to deliver at least 1080p 60fps every time? Performance is really the only strength of these consoles, so why cheap out? And if you have a 4KTV, it seems silly to waste it on a cheaper model that doesn't output 4K games when you could be taking full advantage. And then there is the VR performance gained...

I'd argue that this slow killing off of the traditional console generation is a huge positive for the same reasons I've been more of a PC guy outside of Nintendo. If you're buying hardware today it better be today's hardware. And it's frankly a bit stupid that games are restricted to specific boxes even within the same brand.
There was a reason for this when architecture and spec changed rapidly between generations. Imaging how restricted the N64 would have to be to enable scaling down to the SNES! But these days? Fundamentally we're still playing the same games we did a decade a go just with more pixels per second. Likely we'll be doing the same a decade from now.

@DarthNocturnal
Nothing is done on a system level- it's all done on a game by game, case by case basis.
There are a number of games on PS4 Pro that offer options. You'd have to Google which ones but I know there's some. And X1X will be the same. It's all up to the developers if they want to patch in optional modes, which I think they should because some people value 1080p/60fps while others want 1440p or 4k at 30fps.
