9 - Do you actually like your f/o’s combat/play style?
Hell yeah! Noct’s warp striking is Very Fun, and since I primarily play with polearms I get a ton out of his airstep ability! Switching weapons on the fly is also Very Good.
A DFFNT Noct review too: My love of spears becomes my undoing because i HAVE to set his HP move to shooting star. I miss constantly. If not for this flaw that is entirely my fault I would enjoy DFFNT Noct a lot more
No tekken review bc i only bought and played tekken noct once.
10 - What would your s/i’s combat/play style be?
In general gameplay Ava’s role is to inflict Break upon enemies & increasing drop rates. She fights with a polearm and shuriken, the former being better for crit and break rates while the latter improves her recovery. Three of her tech skills increase drop/break rates, and one of her higher-cost moves has her fight by Noct for a bit!
Player-controlled Ava’s mechanics are more evasive: Two of her tech bar skills become jumps, and she also has a knife. The player can switch between her lance, shuriken, and the knife. Upon episode completion, she has two modes the player can toggle: Playing it Safe and Flirting with Danger. The former makes her less of a glass cannon, the player can stay close to the enemy, but deals less damage. The latter increases drop rates and her damage by a lot but if you don’t avoid damage she’ll fall into danger pretty quickly.
Also there’s an episode exclusive gameplay mode where you can play as her daemon form! You can’t play it in main game due to Spoilers and Lore but it basically boils down to Offensive (Knight), Defensive (Queen) and Support? (Adherent)
11 - What would your s/i’s idle animation be?
FFXV has a TON of idle animations (to give a general scope there’s the ones in the general overworld, each of the camp scenes, the car scenes, eating at a restaurant scenes, timeskip idle animations) so here’s some general overworld ones.
Some of Ava’s idle animations are pulling up her thigh highs, sorting triple triad cards, messing around on her phone and rolling a coin across her knuckles! Fun fact: If you go the avanoct route in the game noct will have an idle animation in the car where he sleeps on ava’s shoulder!
