Bozja feedback thread

Anyone else feel like SE hit peak "cutscene power loss" in Bozja?

Yeah and it honestly took me out of the story quite a bit. These scenes are even more funny (in a sad way) if you are a machinist.

All they had to change was to keep Mikoto within her range or to have the room full of snipers that are ready to take us out if we dont help. Which of course would make the ending a bit different since we would be more in danger..but again just keep the sword at Mikotos throat..problem solved.

We are not alone, all the others (beside the tech girl) are great warriors..we could have simply overwhelmed her with numbers. Heck our character could have used a shield or something (we already have the animation for that) to protect Mikoto while the rest attacks her.

Instead we help her out, create a new primal that could be a threat to the whole resistance (that we wont have to worry about because plot demands it...) and lose a big number of the main fighters..and who knows if those can be saved or not.

Honestly if a bad guy wants to defeat us he just has to put our character in the "cutscene" and suddenly we are as weak and slow as a newborn kitten.

Oh god, yeah. Given how it does end, it would be even more absurd on MCH than it was for us healers. Way to disempower the main character by making them dumb as a bag of rocks in cutscenes?

I wonder if it's like the "female arm grab" that renders characters powerless in anime. Go into a cutscene, and suddenly we need an NPC to rescue us because apparently job stones all shut off.

As someone on the lore forum said its probably because they did not want to put in the work by giving each job (and race) its own unique animation...at the cost of the character feeling like they are not even there and being all weak. But just one little change and it would have all made much more sense...we would still be way too powerless but at least still within some reason..

My character probably had to talk it all out with all the voices in her head...a certain Dark Knight one being the loudest...or maybe she just want to punch more stuff? Who knows...

Its also quite sad how our character (and Mikoto too) has the echo and yet its never used in a situation like that...and seeing how Mikoto even can see a bit of the future...yeah really convient that it never works when we truly need it.
