Regarding the opening even better, the cuff is in some museum being an artifact of unknown origin, the gang kidnap her cat Homer to blackmail her into breaking into the museum to steal something to make even on whatever she did to the gangs boss, she is able to avert guards because of a voice in her head from the cuff (idk if that’s how it works in game), but midway through the heist the cops are tipped off - it’s a set up! Trapped and as they close in on her she gives in to the goading from the cuff saying it can save her. She’s then pulled through to the other world before being caught. That way she has a reason to try and get back because all she cares about in that time is to save her cat and it can eat away at her to start off as she struggles, gives her an initial reason to resent the cuff before she learns of her heritage etc

Tanta has a very similar pronunciation to Tante in the Indonesian language; Tante in English is auntie; it's a coincidence.

[@koketsok1513]

I like how the review was neither "its a misunderstood gem" or "its really bad" just no its bad ,but your hatred for it is insufficient and here is why. By the looks and outline I feel like this game was possibly meant to be an rpg that was meant to bridge the realtime tunrbased rpg elements seen in recent final fantasy games with more instant combat, but a hard pivot was made at some point way after pre-production and way after final conceptualization and they had to scramble to this action fantasy thing and its mismatched story.I really felt the rush job and slight second hand embarrassment for the gameplay designers when I saw the gameplay of the sneak section, as it has alot of "2nd draft put the door" energy,looked like a level you would get if you opened a basic "sneak"tutorial pack in unreal 5,no real art direction in that section just space and boxes.

[@mysticmind4563]

I did watch a couple of streamers play the game. I can say I hated watching the story for the reasons Zenny explained. There are also some other plot holes that could have been avoided: (1. They talk about Frey's mom meeting her father on Earth, but we never get an explanation on where he was. Have a flashback moment where the mom says to him that she's pregnant and that it isn't safe to keep Frey in Athia. He agrees to meet up with her at a certain time after Frey is born. When Vambrace is remove during the middle of the portal the father is concerned because the mom is panicking, but the portal closes before he could react. A couple years later, Frey as a kid wants to know who her mom is. The dad gives some details that she loves her and wanted to keep her safe. After that small exchange, he has to head to his job but dies as he was ending his shift. (2. As mentioned, the Break is barely explained. Have the Break being the result of Vambrace being the first to master elemental powers and this drove him to madness to play God and alter reality in his image not caring of the consequences. This alteration come at a price as the world become unstable and creates a miasma of chaos "Breaking" fabrics of reality. The Tante also capable of mastering elements banded together in a desperate attempt to destroy Vambrace and reverse the Break before the entire world is destroyed. He was too powerful to be destroyed so the used their combined powers to server him into the cuffs that won't stop the Break, but at least bide them time to keep it from spreading. However, the cuffs slowly cursed their bodies in different ways: One driven to madness, one losing memories, one becoming influenced by Vambrace but dies and tries to warn Frey not to fuse the cuffs but dematerializes before she could say it. And Frey's mom, although she has the most resistance to the cuff her curse is that if it is ever removed, she loses her humanity. BADABING BADABIFF!! Two elements having some context. Why Frey was fully an orphan, and the most important, what is the source of the break. And it only took me about an hour to think that up.

"Is Forspoken really that bad?" No, it's way worse...

[@Zenny-YouTube]

[@targard.quantumfrack6854]

Just my two cents about the video (I haven't played the game). Level design and environment design are separate things, you can have an ugly environment with a great gameplay and you can have a beautiful level that plays like shit. My second gripe is that the distraught "woosh" when the old man dies doesn't feel like a joke to me, like at all. In your video it seems like the old man and the "woosh" thing are the only things that give her hope to return home, when he dies, her "only hope" goes away and these two characters shared something.. Woosh. I like it, that's not bad writing in this particular case (my opinion is just based off what you presented in the video)

The first red flag for me was the Isekai plot not only was it a overdone trope in much of Japanese media which I imagine many of Square fans are aware of and they typically have the protagonist wanting to go back even though they often have very little reason to because in the new world they have superpowers when they don’t in their home world. Forspoken could’ve been a great game I actually liked four element magic systems(yes like Avatar but with more mysticism) but the inane plot and unlikeable protagonist if they had given the story more thought and care it could’ve been awesome.

Played Atomic Heart? Fun game. My theory: Frey gives Homer to the judge because is the only character WE have met that we can assume would take good care of him. The gang isn't gonna do it, maybe other than drown it in a river, and why would Frey approach them with Homer anyway and risk getting beat again or worse? My questions: Why and how is the cuff genetically linked to Frey is it belongs to her mother and has always been on her arm but never touched Frey, as far as we know? Was the cuff made for and to belong to Frey? Why is that apartment not cleaned out and/or repurposed in (for?) 20 years? Frey's apartment is at least abandoned and has clearly not been repossessed, so why not the cuff one? Why/how has no one else found the cuff in that time? How did the cuff end up in a vastly different location than Frey when they went through the portal at virtually the same time? The "Tantas" are Frey's aunts, you say? Well, buckle up for THIS revelation, because in my language - Norwegian - 'tanta' is the determinate conjugation of 'AUNT'.

[@JustArten]

Hearing praise for the combat is really weird for me because the guys I watched play it, Don and Dillon from Friends Without Benefits, had found the path of least resistance. First of all, holding the run/dodge(?) button makes you practically invincible. Don had every difficulty setting on default. Second, in combination with Frey's incidental access to ultra instinct, having infinite ammo for her rapid fire projectile magic results in every enemy posing no threat to the player at all. Playing keep away just works. Simply run around and fire the magic machine gun. These things were stumbled into, and nothing in the game forced or encouraged another way of playing. And now, because I have a text document for these, I just want to drop some comments that Don, Dillon and their chat made about Forspoken as the streams went on. "Chapter 1 [...] had a whopping ONE gameplay segment." rando in chat: "I wish she would stop forspeaking." "I'm literally just looking past the character at all times because I know that if I just hold forward and circle, she will traverse everything for me." "Is that like the tenth time, maybe more, where we've gone to gameplay, walked forward for 15 seconds (into) another cutscene?" "15 seconds is way overestimating that." "At any point when we're trying to make a decision as to how we're going to design the videogame, they have to choose between option A or option B. One of them is the obviously wrong choice and one of them is not the obviously wrong choice. And they flip a coin every time, and they somehow get the bad option every time." "By the looks of things, if you're on easy/normal/hard, it just impacts how much damage you do. And I gotta be honest, I don't necessarily want to be doing the fights for longer." "They're really boring. I have played the entirety of this videogame by mashing all of the buttons that I know do things. That's it. You hold circle and you press L1 and R1 and L2 and R2, and the game plays itself."

At times it felt as if I was watching high on life. This game studio and all the people involved both deserved better and should've worked better on this. It has potential, it's another isekai, sure, but why not making it stand out among the rest of similar stories? I personally like some of Cuff's ranged attacks, like the fully automatic stone machine gun, or the use of earthly elements offensively.

Story and characters in a story driven characters oriented game ABSOLUTELY effects quality. You'd be nuts to say otherwise

@@Zenny-KZbin If the player’s choices don’t affect the story’s progression, then it’s auxiliary to the gameplay.

@@psychokinrazalon have you even played this game? Because you sound like your arguing for the sake of it and you sound super silly mate

[@psychokinrazalon]

@@Zenny-KZbin I thought it was pretty obvious from my original comment that I haven’t played the game. But you’re failing to sell me on why I should hate it as a game. I can certainly agree that the writing is cringe, speaking as an author, but that’s the less important part of a GAME. Just because I’m not blindly agreeing with everything you said doesn’t make me sound silly.

I really enjoyed this, thanks

Honestly it seems like they made an open world game with really good combat, but then attempting to write a story within the last week of Production. This game probably would have been better if it focused solely on combat with barely any story.

I doubt this video is as long as it needed to be. But good job I'm entertained.

I hate that in this female-led, female-driven, female-centric epic narrative, the villains who are supposed to be badass evil bitches, are not even evil. In the end, their villainy is the result of being controlled by some accessory. The evil queens do not even own their villainy. In the end they are weak villains, resigned to oblivion like this game will be. The only likeable character turns out to be the ultimate bad guy. In the end this game has: A hero that doesn't earn her powers through hardship, she just gets handed her shit. Also super insufferable Forgettable villains Tired cliche of a final twist that was executed poorly Traversal and combat are somewhat good tho.

I like the tantas when they were evil, they were cool as hell! And then they aunties by the end and it's like.... wat?

[@brokenrecord1323]

@Zenny-KZbin it perpetuates the stereotype that women can't be evil or wrong, that it is always the fault of some other thing like the patriarchy or sexism. Shifting the blame. They can't be evil just because they were evil. They had to be manipulated or tricked or some shit. Which ultimately made them ridiculous and dumb by the story's logic, since every single one of them was outsmarted by a bracelet.

[@Zenny-YouTube]

@@brokenrecord1323 I think with the female lead having female villian helps.. having all your female bad ass characters turn our to be good guys ends up being belittling and silly. The tantas radiated power and strength! Having them be manipulated ends with them being weak to the powers of someone else which weakens thier character. Which just sucks

I wonder how much of the writing can be blamed on the devs, & how much of the mess could be attributed to Sweet Baby Inc
