    [3.4 SPOILERS] Cutscene Praise and a totally selfish Dev Request

    SE--

    I gotta come on these Forums to praise you guys for a fantastic story, the best one so far, in my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to think carefully about this world and the characters--they are your characters but they are 'ours' too, in a way, being in this story for so long and being so emotionally invested in it.

    I want to praise you in particular for the way, in some of this patch's cutscenes, you let us pick from multiple dialogue options. This is huge to me. For example, when you and Alisae are having an intimate conversation, you can bring up one of three different aspects to your adventures. And she reacts, AT LENGTH, to whichever option you choose! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this so much, thank you SO MUCH for this, this gives us SO much more depth as a protagonist and makes us feel like we're doing so much more in this world, that we MEAN so much more in these characters' lives, than a simple stoic head-nod.

    It is my humble request, whenever possible, that you include dialogue options like this in the future. They don't have to be long huge obscene branching trees, but real differences in selection, with real differences in how the NPCs react to them, is an excellent touch that I really appreciate.

    In addition, I have one final request...

    In a future patch, let me see Minfilia again, and--in a dialogue selection branch like the one you've implemented here, let me say that I love her. Let me select the actual words "I love you Minfilia" on a dialogue tree, and let her react to it. I've been waiting to say these words since 1.0, devs, don't let my character be that guy who never says those words and they turn out to never get spoken. Don't make me just 'imagine' I said it to myself with a knowing head-nod + smile, don't make me resort to fanfiction.

    Let me say those words, and let her react to them. Hnnng.

    Great patch guys. Renewing sub another 6 months.

    Agreed that I really, really like the multiple dialogue options. Really helps to let me feel immersed, playing my character, interacting with others. Like when you're up on the Hill with Alisaie, and can choose one of several anecdotes to share with her, getting a unique reaction from her for each. That's great stuff.

    As far as your request goes...personally, I'd love to be able to give a similar confession to Estinien, but I don't see that happening either sadly :P

    The cutscene detail was much higher in this patch! If this is what 4.0 is going to be like, I'm excited!

    But, there was a moment in the dinner-date with Aymeric that stuck out to me more than anything. Aside from the fangirling from me and Aymeric's unabashed glee upon my choice to invite him for an adventure.

    We, the WoL, refuse the wine offered to us and very carefully watch the steward pour Aymeric's drink. No dialogue, WoL never drops their pleasant smile, and Aymeric doesn't notice.

    Buy it's obvious that the WoL isn't taking any chances after the last time they had wine with a friend.

    After this patch I want that option to come up for Alisae (Sorry, Yugiri).

    Anyway, yes i also noticed that we've gotten quite a lot of chance to pick our own dialogue. I was very happy about that.

    Yeah I also noticed that the WoL didn't forget how the last party ended. But I am still glad we were given a sequence that served no purpose beside thanking us. And I actually had an alpine coat to put on. Thanks guard dude.

    The story also acknowledged out past deeds (Coil, mostly), had plenty of surprising revelations handed out at a good pace, included a new dungeon and old trial (really nice touch) and a super epic single player duty as a final battle.

    Yes, this was as close we can get to perfect.

    Yes, the wine was a nice touch... As were all the dialogue options.

    I was shaking when the guy was mixing the wine, because I thought Aymeric was going to die. After the HW poisonings, I just can't trust anyone.

    This patch's story is definitely up there with 2.55 for the best in my opinion. The changes in dialogue during the Titan fight were an especially subtle touch.

    The dialogue options were amazing. I specifically mentioned I wish Ser Aymeric could join us on another journey. I feel he's a great friend, and has definitely earned it. Plus he needs an escape from the paperwork.

    Glad to see us, the WoL, finally learn their lesson and not perform yet another Nanamo... We are calling it a Nanamo right? If not we totally should

    Although I did think my character's wide eyed expression at the sheer about of sweetner/birch syrup Aymeric takes in his tea was cute. That was a bit more than a "dash".
