RPGM Completed The Last Sovereign [v1.0.0] [Sierra Lee]

[Ner0nitas]

I appreciate the thorough response, thankee. I'm much inclined to just continue blind, though raw-dogging such an epic narrative has me a bit nervous lol. I sincerely hope that I won't be lead down into dire narrative straits because of what 25 hours prior had seemed to be an utterly arbitrary choice lol. It's largely the investment system that made me follow a guide cuz it kinda feels like playing the lottery on the first playthrough lol.

Hey, I'm in the same boat and I complain in my playthrough all the time that many things seem to be pure guesswork.
But in terms of gamedesign, it's deliberate guesswork.

But again, very often, the party has something to say.
For example, especially valuable investments get recommended by Megail.
Later on, people you invest in outright state if you get money out of it or not.
So you have to balance out if you wanna make money first, or invest in something that helps in certain story moments.

And still, you won't run into a wall... just go with your gutfeeling.
It might sound stupid, but you aren't really meant to get and see everything in your first playthrough.
I often compare it with a 'SaGa' game, in which there are so many quests you simply can't do if you won't follow a guide, which is fine, since these games are simply designed around the fact that you can't/won't do everything.

Going through a part with many failed key elements is as much part of the story as going through the part while doing everything perfect before.
It's about choices and living with the choices you've made while moving on.

"I would have done this and that instead of what the walkthrough recommends."
So do that... go against the guide and see what happens.
I sometimes peek in the guide which recommends this and that research... but no, I don't care, since I wanna research something else before.
Does it hinder my playthrough?
Don't know, don't care, it's my playthrough and it goes on no matter what.

And as a last word when it comes to "things getting too dire and depressing"... it's still overall a wholsome game with a great cast.
No matter the crap that happens, you always have these supporting people around you, and they hold the game together.
And before I get more mushy, I should stop.

Started chapter 4 and got message about some cg not being completed yet. Anybody knows how many are missing and whether all are missing from certain point or just ''less relevant'' ones?

 

[Blazin Phoenix]

Just to double check, you can't change the name of the main character right?

I saw some older comments about that but as the descriptor of the comments says 'old' I thought I'd check that an update hadn't happen to change that.

I've already deleted the game but I'll get it again and probably chip some money to the developer if there is a way to change the MC name. It's a deal breaker for me.

You can't.

you can't change the name, you never be able to do that. the protagonist isn't a empty shell self insert charater.

where are RTP files located? While I have not played Last Sovereign, I have played rpg maker game before (not anytime recently). If RTP is required for those too, it would be unlikely for me to not have it.

The absolute best char in the game! <3

Yarra is, in fact, the unbiasedly best girl.

I finished off the lord of lust. It was a bit anticlimactic, but that's okay. One less clown. I wish Simon had more power at this point. Although I love the game and checking each NPC to see what dialogue changes there are, sometimes it's overwhelming.

I love the game and it's one of the best RPGs out there, but I'm a little disappointed that Orcent doesn't have his own harem. The guy is almost as much of a MC as Simon, and he has no shortage of women throwing themselves at him.

I'm sure you get asked this a lot, but how counterproductive is it to have Varia apathetic and Altina a slut in order to have a good ending? The truth is, I prefer these versions to the healthy ones.

It doesn't matter.

Orcent would have traded the harem for a group of philosophers in a heartbeat.
His choice of a former church sister from Feroholm (who is very into discussing obscure works) as the more permanent lover speaks volumes.

We got that answer during the Incubus War. She's a piece of Ivala, detached and free from the main body's prison. She sacrifices herself to free Ivala from the Crystal.

this is false. they are both an handicap. you can works around it, but you need to know exactly how everything will run.
if you go blind they will hurt you in the long run with an high probability

Very few protagonists are empty shells. Just about all of them have specific personalities, usually have histories and wants; these are all written as a complete character.

It's just most authors know people like to name their MC and take the extra couple minutes to make it possible to do so. People like you can always keep the default name, people like me can rename we both get to enjoy the game. All his choice did is make it so I won't support him financially (and yes I do support them usually, giving more if I really like their games, but I've probably given at least a few dollars to over 50 game creators at this point.). Devs probably lose nothing more than a little time by making their characters renamable but they do lose people when they don't - case in point - me and this game.

I believe a couple of lines from the end of the prologue will suffice to demonstrate just how pointless what you want would be in the case of TLS:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the first character. You play a 'Simon' for most the game, right? If so, you could rename him.
If you switch between characters all the time then that's true for this specific game and how it was written.
It doesn't change the fact that many people want to be able to name their MC whatever they want (their name, an alias they use online, or just a name that they feel better matches the look and feel of the MC).
If I am right and you use a single character throughout the game then I question the decision not to make that character someone you can rename. Seems like it would be easy to do when you make the game and wouldn't really disturb much. Worst case would probably be you make any puns that use the name or references (references like if your character's name is Atlas normally, you could reference the MC always trying to hold up the world or something - connect it to the mythology) not make sense. But lets be honest, a lot of games have questionable use of the English language. I doubt it would be a deal breaker for those who change the names.

 

[Ner0nitas]

Yeah, and it's well known that the devs of 'The Witcher 3' fell into an unrecoverable financial hole because people had to play a 'Geralt'.

That being said, in terms of joking around with a name, I'm infuriated because there isn't a single 'Simon says...!' joke in the entire game.
