thought you'd wanna know I finally saw ch 5 and I had the complete opposite reaction where i think arg'il is fucking awesome and the trinity is some of the worse characters written in bt so far
im gonna bfr, demo 5 is kind of. Bland for us
Sure, its nice seeing the fandom enjoy the characters and demo even if we can’t, but the plots kinda… eh?? I really wish i could love this demo more. Kingdoms, usurpation, factions, and monarchy are one of our favorite things ever—literally half of our ocs are based off of those four—and the demo seems to be the perfect setup for us to get obsessed with it but nope. I couldnt care more for the demo but i couldnt care less.
On the topic of ar’gil and trinity, i dont really like either of them? For trinity i only really care about robur, especially with his connections to ancient greece and his court (one of our fav scenes but i really do wish there were actual consequences if we picked certain dialogue. Again, im not sure if there actually is since i dont wanna replay demo 5, but if there is then cool), while azuri and reginald are azuri and reginald. Thats all.
As for ar’gil, i dont hate him per-se, im just mad they didnt even do anything with him. Man was set up to be the big bad of the demo but he:
>appears for a second time
>mfw the he has more scenes than ancients, hatred (not counting h!bm), and ck but still has less substance than either those three
Sure, you could argue that those three had details that was leading up to their reveal but so did ar’gil—especially with the whole talk of the korblox clan being such a huge threat to trinity.
This isn’t to say “i hate ar’gil!!!” Or something like that. I just wish that he had more substance and had memorable scenes. He has genuine potential, sick ass design, and the korblox clan as a whole shouldve gotten more lore. I also kinda wish that everything wasn’t resolved fully during the ending segment of the demo—i wouldve much preferred if we had optional quests we could do post-demo to get closer/establish ties between player and trinity, help out cassie weed out any remaining korblox members outside trinity, or even help out the citizens in each faction. Iunno, whole demo is just a stagnation of potential—not waste, because i can see the vision in what the writers were going for, but stagnation because all the potential writing the demo could’ve had is bottled up
WHY did the devs think it was a bright idea to have two enemies that could heal be on the same pit floor—let alone one being able to negate ALL damage for every enemy on the field the moment they get their turn cuz they have the mobile attribute? Also. No enemy should be able to give another the dodgy attribute. The axe enemy from red cliff is fine because they give dodgy to themselves only. Ghost spirits can randomly use it on anyone. They have an attack pattern, yes, but whoever they give feel dodgy to is random. Coupled with the fact that they also have the mobile attribute, congratulations! You have achieved a migraine!
I better see fucking ship art of sky healer and ghost spirit being insufferable together. Megaphone/f’ella type beat
