Pretty dumb thing to get bent out of shape over.
Spoiler: show
Where else? In that statement Namco said this was the only scene that was modified.
Unless it was a flashback, I remember seeing from a stream of that impalement twice.
Wow that's dumb. I mean it was nothing before, but the changes are meaningless because the only real difference I saw was stabbed by swords vs stabbed by spears of light.
In a fantasy RPG they might as well be the same fucking thing. I don't get why they would change this lol
Because morons will look at it and think: I wanna stab a kid with a sword too! While now the moron must first come up with a way to make spears of light.
Part of Velvet's rage is from that stabbing and Artorius hanging his body in the air before dropping him. Magical stab just makes it weird
I mean the kid still bites the dust so I guess the message is that it's more acceptable to murder children with magic.
I think I'm more annoyed by the half measure.
Both scenes make a display of suspending him midair before dumping him into the pit though.
I haven't played the game yet but I can't see how this change would impact her motivations or any future scene dealing with this one, unless for some bizarre reason she's not mad Arthur straight up murdered Laphicet, she's just mad about how he did it.
So i'm trying to decide between Beseria and Dragon Quest 8 3DS. Persona 5 would have made the issue irrelevant, but alas.
Coming off Pokemon, so I kinda want a console title for a while. Though Beseria is more likely to be $20 used much sooner than DQ 8 would be, and could potentially be a post Persona 5 pickup for really cheap, but would run into Zelda trumping it which would delay it even further.
I enjoyed Zestiria, but kind of felt cheated out of the full 60 bucks. I know what a quality title i would be getting with DQ8 initially.
Jan - DQ8/Beseria
Feb - Horizon Zero Dawn
March - Zelda
April - Persona 5
May - Beseria/DQ8/NX titles
Just as a rough outline.
I'm over the KH re-re-re-remakes and just want 3. I have 1.5 and 2.5.
Did forget Nier, so theres that too.
I say get 8 since you know what to expect.
Berseria should be better than Zestiria if they got rid off the annoying weakness shit. Then it just depends if you like Graces style combat or not.
I hated Zestiria for the above, made playing on anything higher than Moderate (though even that was a bitch) a complete pain.
I canceled Beseria atm because it doesn't interest me as much for a day1, and Tales of games often has deals either at Amazon or PSN, so i'll just get it later
