Many people know that I am a fan of Falcom's Track series of games, but even if I am a loyal fan, I have to say something about the slot of the game.
background
At the beginning of the year, we completed the "Track of Creation". In addition to the "Track of Flash 1" and "Track of Flash 2" on the PSV platform a few years ago, as well as the "Track of Flash 3" and "Track of Flash 4" on the PS4 platform, the story of "Flash" came to an end. Whether for F Club or players, the five games across two generations of consoles are a long journey.
As a fan who has walked (bought) all the way along the track, what I feel most about this long journey is not the constant touch of works of all previous dynasties, but the rough irrigation filled with grooves. Moreover, after two months of cooling off period, I still feel that these five series are quite unworthy, so I will spit it out here today.
Evaluation of the whole story
From Flash Track 1 in 2013 to the Track of Creation in 2020, the five series of Flash have lasted for seven years, which is not a small number. As a loyal fan, if I want to comment on the story described in seven years, my comment is: "That's not necessary" 。 Why? Let's talk about my argument.
Embarrassed Tianjiang series plot
The addition of Class 7 is the most puzzling point for me, especially when there is not much preparation for the two series and the previous work.
For example, there are many excesses in Euna's story, such as various forced arrogance, preaching and encouragement. It can be seen from the plot that F Society wants to shape her“ Although the home fell, but with hope and quiet efforts to make the home independent again ”She is a bright and proud girl student, but her story is baffling except that it embarrasses me.
Why does Lloyd talk about independence all day while the players still have a sense of empathy? Because in "Zero" and "Bi", Society F used two novels to describe the fetters of Lloyd and Crosbell.
When we see Lloyd fighting for Closbell, we will not only feel unexpected, but also feel Lloyd's strong willpower (although in Genesis, he is a bully).
Why is Ai so sunny and unobtrusive? Because in "The Air", F Society also spent two episodes to describe Ai and her whole world (Cong Tou: what's the relationship between the flash track of all the leading roles in the past and me).
After the two plays, you said that Ai was not sunny. Not only the players refused, but also Klose, Joster, and even the miners in the Maluga mine.
And what about Una? The story of the leading role group from heaven is zero. It is forceful and energetic. Its willpower is comparable to that of Lloyd. Its sunshine is comparable to that of Ai. The key role is an auxiliary role. This is embarrassing, because players always think "who are you?" and play.
The pentalogy depicts the story of the two treasures in this world, which caused a lot of people, and finally the protagonist group solved the problem. In general, the addition of New 7 does not seem to be so important in the whole story. Suppose the new Class 7 is deleted, and Flash 4's job search is completed by the old Class 7. Is there any surprise? I don't think so.
At the beginning of Flash 4, Euna and others encouraged each other forcefully. Even if the screenwriter of F Club saw the story himself, would he not feel embarrassed at all?
Forced segmentation, black screen end
For a Boss in the middle and later stages of the game, the scene of the dark dragon in the flash 3 museum is a bit too grand, even bigger than the scene in the final chapter.
In this scenario of the museum, the character soldiers controlled by the players are divided into three routes. The scene is extremely grand, whether it is scene modeling or maze complexity, which gives a feeling of "this is the last".
The small monsters blocking the way here have huge HP. Their attacks are accompanied by various high-level debuffs. Some monsters also have their own advanced protection effects, such as physical/magic reflection. As a person who has nightmares for a week, I can't even push the maze without looking at the strategy and deliberately brushing the level.
At last, I used two DLC recovery drugs to barely keep the fight from zero. It can be said that I was deeply impressed by the maze advance and the Boss battle.
In the final chapter, the maze is one line, and the little monster moves for two seconds. Finally, he closed his eyes and hit the holy beast, and passed easily. He didn't even get into a crisis. He didn't have the appearance of the final Boss. Is that it? Then when the plot is going on, Duang~ When the screen goes black, is this movie over? WTF？ It's too perfunctory.
So, you should know what I'm going to say. With the scene modeling and atmosphere rendering of this episode, the Dark Dragon is obviously qualified for the final chapter of the Boss War and the final chapter of the maze.
Let alone Chuang. It's really boring to add a bunch of garbage games to the trophy and forcibly prolong the game time.
I think so: the first two works are merged into one and a half after removing the drained water, and the remaining half steps are merged into one and a half with the Dark Dragon in Flash 3, which can be counted as two; The content of the Dark Dragon Queen was incorporated into Flash 4, which was more than enough because of the deletion of the new 7; As an external biography, Chuang is counted as a separate book; In this way, wouldn't it be beautiful to have a trilogy+one external transmission?
Avoid the important and release the version quickly
To borrow a comment from Zhihushang on Shan 2:
Your last movie made us feel that the civil war was coming. Now you only give me sidelights and give me small details!? The great empire that can affect the whole continent is fighting a civil war. Don't you describe the tragedy and the situation of the war with me, but you come to fight with me and the students? If you are not interested in NPC, doing these branches will be tasteless and even torture.
After reading my brother's words, I can say that I feel the same way. The large number of controllable roles and those boring sidelines in Shanli are quite boring to some extent, and you have to do it for full achievement or high evaluation, which is very annoying.
Of course, I'm not saying that there should be no regional tasks in RPG games, but that the design of the regional tasks in Flash is not good. Most of them are just making up numbers, which is meaningless for the plot promotion or explanation.
In those days, the air rail steam tank battle group and the Elsayu dodge missile were able to make a grand impression. How could the more advanced engines and more beautiful models make the grand scenes disappear?
When encountering a battle between characters, the blind will listen to the voice and identify the position. When encountering a battle field, the blind will flash by. The so-called "strongest in the mainland" is not reflected at all.
It's easy to think about it. In order to break the thin script into five series for you, F Club has not had enough time to pour water into it, so it should pay attention to it?
Child politics, village head fights
The politics in Shanli are just like a joke. Every political role in Shanli is a politician with a deep image of the city government. As a result, when it comes to the political plot, the primary school students hold class meetings, which is not deep enough. Everyone knows what they have played.
Since we can't write political scripts well (or have no time to write), we can describe politics from the perspective of empty track or zero blue. The previous works all looked at the political view in the game from a certain perspective. Although there was not too much description, we could feel what the script wanted to express from the plot. The flash is different. It is not positive to force the players to control these characters to take two steps. As a result, the level of positive description is not good enough, and a set of things for village leaders to fight is created.
Conflict and hasty pit filling
For example, Prime Minister. What is the image of the prime minister in Air, Zero, Bi, Shan 1 and Shan 2? With the world as the chessboard and the country as the pawn, everything is under control. As a result, in the later work, its image suddenly turned into a godfather controlled by octopuses. Those temperament, mind and soul were all gone. F Society please return the original worship to me.
Not to mention the liberation of Kezhou, what is depicted by ED at the end of Bi? Kezhou people (note: not including Euna) endured humiliation, lived in obscurity, dragged their families to live in sewers, fought guerrilla warfare, and finally liberated Kezhou. In Shanli, it seems that the liberation of Kezhou has nothing to do with the people of Kezhou. The imperialists have stopped playing, so Kezhou has been liberated. The WTF Blog is more popular than that.
In addition, according to the flash, Kezhou used to be the territory robbed by the empire or the republic. The days of independence add up to several decades. How come there are so many anti independence elements in Kezhou? "Zero" and "Bi" are full of national righteousness, and Rick has a sense of "recovering the glory of the past". In "Flash", Ke Du can't stand. Isn't that contradictory? In addition, since it was an imperial territory a hundred years ago, how could the imperialists happily watch the recovered Kezhou become independent again?
For the description of the history of Kezhou, the content of the previous work and "Shan" is conflicting and fragmented, which is an important reason for the conflict of views between players starting from "Shan" and those starting from "Zero".
I'm tired. I won't say anything
What did seven years bring?
- A garbage story that cannot be justified
- A set of daily account games that are more expensive than one
- Collection of some puzzling games
- One ash eating PSV, one ash eating PS3, and one ash eating PS4
I am tired. There is no need to write a long article of 10000 words for this thing, so the article will stay at 2700 words.
Trajectory Pink is the most authentic. Although I said I would not buy the next one, the next one came out faster than anyone else.
