FE Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is an amazing game, even a few years later I come back to it quite a bit. But I never went into detail on what I like so much about it. So, lemme do that:
First: The story and characters. Neither are perfect, but both are amazing. not as good of a cast as Awakening (IMO), but a really good one.
Dungeon Crawling: If this could return more, I would not be disapointed.
The Item System: Only one held item may seem really bad, but it works surprisingly well. be it a weapon that can;t break (Hey, they fixed a little issue from Fates) without it being broken or terrible.
No Fenix Mode: While I like Casual mode a lot, Fenix was a step too far.
And now... the less good...
Map Design, Need I even say anything here? Honestly it's one of the only issue I have with it.
Cantors: Nice idea, but they need some more time in the oven.
No Pair Up: While not a huge issue, it is something I kinda miss. I know it was revealed early on that it wasn;t gonna be in the game but still Pair-Up remains a feature I really like and I hope to see again in the future.
Nuibaba's Abode: I could Rant for hours on it, but I won't.
The Lightning Sword: And here's my least favorite Part, the way they managed to nerf this weapon into the ground is just... astounding. I mean, how did they f*ck this up? You just make it deal Magic Damage and give it like, the stats of an Iron Sword at base and when maxed those of a base Silver or mid Steel one, maybe a bit weaker, make it expensive to upgrade and give it a bit later in the game. Boom, fixed. is it Petty that this is my least favorite part of the game, maybe, most likely, yeah. but honestly, can you really blame a guy for disliking how his favorite weapon got nerfed so much that it's just useless after the early-mid game?
