02/25 || Relaxation Station || Demo Day
0Yup, I had so much trouble coming up with a stream this day I shouted screw it and just decided to play demos. The first one up was a game I fully expected to end up buying, and did, Bravely Default 2. See turns out I'm a massive sucker for a job system, especially one that lets you hot swap jobs and functionally give a character 2 jobs. So we played around with that demo for 2ish hours before I decided to swap over to another more...sedate game?
Namely Project Triangle Strategy the other Square Enix game with a big demo right now made by the same people who did Octopath Traveler. So the bit of combat I got to play was fun and intriguing but SOOOOO much of the demo was dedicated to story stuff, which was in need of an editor, probably some paring down, and context. See the demo picks up in chapter 6 so while it gives you a bit of a cliffs notes on who's who and the things they've done, we're still spending most of the demo having story thown very slowly at us. Maybe I was only noticing it so much because Bravely Default 2 had an autoplay function so the nicely voice acted little story bits would just play like cutscenes, still felt odd to need to opt into that but sure. Triangle Strategy did not have that so I had to confirm my way through everyone's dialog, but not too rapidly or I'd miss the voice acting, why aren't they just cut scenes if you want to throw info at me for most of an hour?
