Tales of Symphonia.... well, Fire Emblem

[OB1]

Did I say otherwise?

Well yeah. Remember how you didn't want to get FE in fear of it just being AW in a fantasy setting? Or was that someone else...

Why?

Easier on the neck and eyes. Longer play sessions, you know?

You're probably right about AW and how more story would hurt the great pick-up-and-play quality that game has. Bu I just disagree about FE. Sure it's somewhat verbose, but that's more realistic than many games! People DO talk, after aall, and generally a whole lot more frequently than they do in most games...

Of course it's more about how I find the conversations interesting and like the detail they provide to the story (including plenty of detail that isn't directly part of the main story, something some games don't do that much... like, yes, the greetings when people join your party. I kind of like that. Though some of it is optional -- or did you never notice that in some missions you can have your characters talk to eachother?) than it is about realism, but that's true too.

Man I'd get really sick of those people if I were on a real-life quest with them. I'd just tell them to shut the hell up and get on with killing Lord Whatshisface.

You have to admit that my post about the dialogue was pretty darn accurate. :)
