6.2 MSQ Story Review

[TaleraRistain]

You're not wrong though. In most games power upgrades whether for mmorpg characters or fixed protagonists in single-player games come after some kind of growth/struggle. Them being handed to the character so effortlessly like in Alphinaud's case is certainly unique, but not in a way that is in the game's best interest.

He wasn't just handed some random stuff. It was the gear his father used being passed on to him.

It's the same as when Ezio opens the chest in Assassin's Creed II with Giovanni's Assassin gear in it. The legacy is being passed on.

In ancient Sparta, as with other nations, the weapons and armour of their fathers were handed to their sons, their swords, their shields. Hardly new. I see no issue in Alphinaud being given his fathers weapons, "Your father used these on missions, bear them well."

In case it also hadnt occurred to you, his father would have KNOWN who had taken them...who do you think it was gave them to Ameliance? OF COURSE he wants his son to be well armed, Alphinaud was ALREADY capable of the healing arts, his father would want weapons he himself trusted to be passed to his son, about to go into danger.

Lest you forget, WE are handed soulstones and armour when we unlock a new class.

This.... this is HERESY. There's literally no other word for it.

You actually went there. You compared ENDWALKER..... to Assassin's Creed.

--------------------------------------------

Then again, knowing some of the posters on here you're gonna claim Endwalker was BETTER than Assassin's Creed.... AREN'T YOU?

No, I compared a facet of Endwalker with a facet of ACII. And in the case of Alphinaud, he was a bit better qualified to take the gear because he had already practiced as a healer and Ezio was still a hot-headed youth at that time who hadn't met Paola or started training with Mario.

I also enjoyed Endwalker, but I'm a huge AC fan, which is why my thoughts went to that particular comparison, and the story in ACII I hold in higher regard. So no, I would never say Endwalker was better than Assassin's Creed. Unless you're talking Odyssey.
