Meaningless Battles...

[Remember_The_Name]

Just to put my two cents, the 6.4 main story major battle could have been SO much better, if instead of afflicting our character with "cutscene disability" they bothered to expand the cutscene after the trial with the following development:

Golbez suddenly summons a huge horde of voidesnt (as far as we know, he should have plenty at his disposal) and WoL is left with a choice to either pursue their main target or help their comrades. Obviously, the latter is chosen, because we treasure our friends. The fight erupts, but our party helds thanks to the WoL sheer strength.

But it buys enough time for Golbez to retreat and finish his plot, summoning Zeromus. Cutscene then proceeds as normal (may instert us defeating the huge horde just for some power fantasy, you know, WoL is awesome, yadda-yadda) and our party retreats to the Source. The end.

There, I fixed it in 15 minutes. Definetly not the best explanation, but still better than seeing our character standing completely still (bonus points if their job is ranged DPS) and stare how Golbez T-pose and fly away to create a plot device to move the story to next patch.

Sekiro did it best imo with the first Genichiro fight. You're not expected to win against him but if you do you get a modified cutscene where Genichiro is visibly on the ropes and has to take advantage of Sekiro getting distracted by a Nightjar shuriken to lop off his arm.

It's a lot better than a villain going dusts off shoulder "That was an interesting little diversion, now die," after you just hit em with a 99 hit combo while they helplessly get juggled around like a ragdoll.

Off topic. If that's what's Jojoya is doing, all I can say is that is odd.

The same poster, or another with a very similar face, was accusing quite a number of posters of being chatbots in a previous thread.

Simple logic test: How long has coherent AI text generation been a thing? How long has the poster been posting?

And how quickly can you discredit someone if all you need to do is say "you sound like a chatbot" and others believe you rather than forming their own opinion of the other person?
