So I know that Tales of Symphonia sequel game is pretty much a terrible follow up to the original but it makes me wonder, which sequel game is actually a good game? My only experience is Tales of Xillia 2 which is ok but I hate having to need to pay off that massive debt.
For me that's strictly Lloyd and Yuri.
Lloyd I liked cause he has tremendous growth throughout the story. He goes from being clueless of his surroundings to understanding there are bigger things going on while also not shying away from small injustices. Not to mention I love dual wielding weapons so him dual wielding swords is a huge plus for me not to mention he has one of my most favorite playing styles out of all the protags.
Yuri I like cause hes smarter than he lets on and like Lloyd he doesn't let small injustices go and hes not afraid of bloodying his hands if it means punishing those that abuse their power and status, or those that can get away with things because of said power and status. He also does brutal honesty in a playful way that often flies over most people's heads.
So the Canon route has technically been confirmed, I say technically because the 'Canon' route is whatever you want it to be. However the remake shows what it is for the N64 version of the game. Why do I say this? As we know if you do the hard route on Venom 2 before fighting Andross you'll fight Star Wolf in new ships but also with cybernetics and bandages for wounds... thing is, if you go the hard route it is impossible for them to have those cybernetics because you never fight them. However if you go to Fichina first and then go to the hard route then it makes perfect sense. The remake takes this fact into account, if you do the hard route you fight them in new ships but with no cybernetics for their wounds. But if you do fight them on Fichina and then go to Hard Venom they will have Cybernetics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwziw8MPzaQ this shows how to unlock the cyber version of Star Wolf.
The thing I like about the idea of Mercenary Trooper is that you have a trooper truly built for all situations. Got a bunch of enemies? Use your hidden rocket launchers! Got a tough enemy? Blast them with a hail of gunfire from your twin blasters. You basically got a true super soldier of a unit not to discount Commando but it really fits well with the idea of a Trooper who is basically a living weapon he's got everything built into his armor and it fits so well with the New Version of the Havoc Squad armor especially since the backpack attachment happens to be a Jetpack. It doesn't hurt that now that you have a blaster pistol as your main weapon it actually shows up as that weapon in custscenes.
Title is there any Non-Canon game you would want to be Canon if it was up to you? It can be more than one and why would you want it to be Canon. I mostly asking cause of the fact Mechwarrior 5 technically making the Battletech Cartoon Canon in two ways, both that it was propaganda but also that it technically happened with some changes to events.
So a few months back I asked if there was any tech designed strictly to counter Clan Mechs but Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries newest DLC mentions Clanbuster Mechs. Are there any other mechs with this particular designation or is this something only the Goddamn Telephone Company has?
