Image 1 — The word I feel is appropriate for this game is ... GENUINE. --- It's highs and lows are the "genuine" product of unique people, with their unique vision and talents. --- The first game in a while that made me feel llike i was having " an experience " and it being valid by itself.

In contrast with most games that you "know" you are playing a game because either the experience is too tailored to you as a player,

OR the game difficulty or Focus is so frustrating and artificial that META gaming becomes the de-facto way to play it.

Instead, DD1 already but DD2 even more, you can just play it and have a blast, making the game as easy or as hard as you want, without a single menu settings.

( Thank Akatosh i didn't listen to bad reviews and for that 26 dollar sale price xD )

People say the story of dd1 and dd2 is the same, but it couldn't be further from the truth. - The "Dogma" of dd1 is a call to action for the sake of the world. It is a POSITIVE force. - The dogma of dd2 instead is a NEGATIVE force, so unnecessary that you and normal people like Phasus rebel against.

I don't think I would enjoy dd2 very much actually playing it.

But slowly I finally managed to watch most of the story and dialogue ( cuz most people skip it or just make funny compulations xD ) and I gotta say.

The only similarity dd1 and dd2 have HONESTLY is that they legit don't know how to tell their stories ... despite both being great. 👍

(

The first one managed to get away with being both cheesy and "anime".

the second one's realism sadly works against it and its overuse of static camera shots makes it look boring.

)

----

All to say ... I quite enjoy Phaesus fo be honest.

I kinda wish the DLC would add a quest where we befriend him before he does the ritual to make him understand the truth of the world and thus the futility of his plan sooner,

so he helps us bring down the false arisen now even more thirsty for power ( instead of a wiesel 😂 ) who takes his place trying to summon the dragon and failing to do the ritual properly.

But that would be even more copium than actually getting the new region as we were told, haha.

---

Which, led me to a question?

If this was truly Itsuno's vision, how come the story is so different?

I prefer and even LOVE the story and characters of the first one ... but I am now in a position where I don't know if even that aspect was a lucky accident born of compromise and lack of resources, making DD1 even more of a miracle in my eyes.

Forgive the Arisen-sperging, but I had to get it out of mine breast.

Did I understand the story wrong? Am I missing something?

Is it, like, "canon" that the thunder wyvern in the post game is peaceful and enjoys swimming? --- 12 years playing this game, and I never managed to fight the guy :/ ...

It just flies up and down if you come from gransys ...

and if you come from the other side, he instead flies even more to the left and just goes underwater and never comes back up.

I will Re-watch the benchmarks for the 10th time .... maybe I will actually buy it this time, but if you can confirm or reject the performance critiques, expecially 2 years after it came out, that would give me more confidence.
