Dawntrail's MSQ story is a disaster and waste of potential. [full spoilers]

[ViaDesperare]

Playing through SoC, which has 3 siblings fighting for their kingdom, and boy are the characters done so much better in SoC, even if the translation is not good.

Dantalion will sacrifice everything for his people, even his own life. Lutfi strives for advancement because every other country is improving, and he wants his country to advance and keep up with them while also fighting to get out of his brother's shadow. Inanna is the naive sheltered princess who learns that the world is unforgiving and has to fight to keep her people safe because a kingdom is nothing without its people.

Compared to a blue lizard boy with daddy issues, siscon nerd brother, and Black-Hole Sue the siblings in that game are insane in characterization, even if you don't like them. They also don't take up 30 hours to get characterized.

You can also get them all killed, so yeah. If only we got to do that with Wuk Lamat and Koana. Watching those three fail, learn, and grow has been so amazing. We really needed similar characterization with DT. Matsuno was hyped to play SoC from what I saw.

SoC? Sorry - which game? Sounds like a SRPG, and I've been dying to get into a new one.

Sword of Convallaria.

Good news: it's a SRPG.

Bad news: it's a gacha game.

Sword of Convallaria

...huh. Free to Play? That's actuallly completely unexpected. Thanks, I'll have a look.

Edit : Oh. It's a Gacha. For fuck's sakes.

Banner of the Maid, Triangle Strategy, Unicorn Overlord are all fairly recent SRPG tittles that I can recommend for gameplay, characters, and story.

And they're just good old no string attached SP games. You do have to pay for them though.

I've already tried out UO, it was alright. Just waiting a sale on TS, looked a bit flawed.

If you want other games, try out Troubleshooter Abandoned Children, Brigandine the Legend of Runersia, or Prime of Flames. If you've only played Fire Emblem, those games should be impossible to beat.

On to SoC, it's good. You can enjoy your time in Spiral of Destiny. If you two haven't played it yet, go try it out. You'll be praising the game in a week. The gameplay is better than Triangle Strategy, like insanely better.
In week, you'll be trash talking Wuk and explaining how Inanna and Nono are God-tiers beyond what she can ever be. It may be a gacha, but it's really well done. If you've played LangrisserM, it's pretty much that but in the form of FFT/TO.

I already have 101 games that I played that can be used for that purpose (some of them are even indie). I don't think adding one more gonna make a difference.

Also for me, there is no such thing as a "well done gacha". I don't even gamble in real life, and masking it behind a game does not make it any difference.
