Got the game recently and really liked it, and I was wondering if your able to start the game from scratch without completely erasing save data, so I can replay the game with the guns

Try the final battle scout mission where you have to protect Eren and Historia and fight interior police in the city on nightmare mode with the guns... on the last phase it's actually not that easy... you get 2 shot and die easy. Idk why but to me this was a surprise cause I failed first try. No buffed out characters or midair heals

Anyone want to do some farming with me? The more people we have the quicker it’ll be to farm the crystals.
I’m trying to finish off the last few equipment in the gallery and the crystals just take so long on solo. Sasha increases drops but is quite weak compared to Levi so multiplayer is the best option for these resources. If anyone wants to join just let me know.

I've never played any of the games before so I wanted to ask people that have played the games before and their opinions on what has been shown to us of AOT3 and its gameplay and mechanics.

Used to make Wings of Freedom videos around 2017 and then in 2018 I did the same for Aot2 and now with Aot 3 just a few months away, I wanna make more of an effort to the Aot 3 game community. I found many glitches in the past and had a blast finding bugs and unintended funny stuff. The closer we get the more I really wish Aot 3 is multiplayer...

Well, it could be multiplayer or not we don't truly know yet.

Let's just assume it is singleplayer, after completing the main story... does anyone believe they will play Aot 3 as much as they did Aot 2?

Multiplayer is why Aot 2 lasted.

Incase anyone wanted to know, the physical steelbook edition for aot 3 released for pre-order if your intrested. (Edit: link from amazon for Xbox https://a.co/d/0djdF9f2)

Final Battle is awful. important stories are segmented into chunks. Gameplay is intentionally padded so that it lasts longer than it should, cutscenes are cheap as sin. I wish AoT3 does season 3 Justice! I WANT TO CHARGE MY HORSE ALONG SIDE ERWIN AS ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.

Personally I think since the MC is referred to as Section Commander in the promotional content we've seen so far, safe bet is late 20's to early 30's.

It also seems there's a cutscene where you're in an expedition with the Survey Corp where Keith Shadis is still Commander (so roughly around ~845?)

So I can imagine the lower limit is maybe 19-20 at the start of the Trost Arc in 850? With you being a freshly promoted S.C.

Aforementioned expedition could have been your very first outing as a fresh rookie (15-16). By the time of Trost, you'd have survived multiple expeditions with 5 yrs of exp.

I honestly would have preferred being a cadet in the 104th like in AOT2 but I think this is still cool.

But what do you guys think the age range could be?

it does not look like there's much manual aiming / an ability to miss the cut due to a poor angle, or even the striking too early mechanic. In both the normal mode and the casual mode that were shown it looked like just a one button press to attack. that's at least what i saw i am curious what the rest of the community saw

Lots of talk about them being a shifter or an Ackerman even, but I don't think I've seen anyone entertain the possibility that they aren't even Eldian at all, even though it's probably the most likely answer. It would be a good way to solve a few issues and also add an interesting twist later in the story that doesn't shake up the canon too much.

Firstly, it would serve as a good form of conflict for the character, and give the opportunity for them to question their allegiances at multiple points in the story.

Secondly, if the final battle (after all the eldians have been transformed into titans) isn't just a long cutscene, this would be the easiest way to continue playing as the character.

Thirdly, it gives more justification for their alternate gear. In the previous games this was just an unspoken game logic thing, where your character had access to all these fantastical designs that no one else did. But assuming the main characters parents came from outside the walls and taught them engineering (similar to how Grisha brought updated medical knowledge to Paradis) it makes a lot more sense for them to be constantly altering and experimenting on their own equipment past what is publically available.

Edit: It's also stated that the main character comes from the underground city on the JP website, this could give credence to the idea that their parents were hunted by the government for spreading technical information that put the safety of the walls at risk. They could have caught wind of this and used it as an opportunity to hide their kid in the underground city where no one would think to look.
