The Pros and Cons of Yggdra Union, (This is my opinion) Options

[Yuka]

Really, like others have already pointed out, the game would be ridiculously easy if there was a random dungeon for you to level up in. I personally find the story for YU enthralling, and only would seem to get old after a few gamesplays through, which is basically all you need to get everything.

- Linear gameplay, you are playing the same maps consecutively,

The greatest lie I've ever seen on the website, which goes to show you obviously don't pay attention to the map details.

I mean a couple secret characters

Yeah, but you have to remember that Russell is pretty freaking awesome anyways, so he's worth just having only two secret characters.

This post has obviously disturbed some people, most likely because they take it too seriously and are not getting what I am trying to say.

Playing the same maps consecutively--->If you were to play the game through a second time, you would be playing absolutly the same maps you played through the first time, hence you have no options for exploration, and the game has a linear feel to it.

It is also obvious that if there was a random dungeon the game would be too easy, due to the games experiance system, you would have insane cards powers. But of course that doesn't mean they could make an exeption with the system for battles in random dungeons.

-_-' Im sure your not yet satisfied, yet I knew this topic would be amusing due to some of you diehard fans who take it seriously and really want to proove me wrong but I know d*** well what I'm saying.

For once, I'm tempted to agree with this.

What? Of course if you played through the game again you'd have the same maps. That's the case with all video games. Youre saying you want all video games to be a diffrent game when you restart them.

Almost every RPG has some secret areas YU as far as i know has...dunno 1?

What I'm saying is it'd be nice if YU had some other option instead of "Next Map" (i.e. shop, arena, dungeon)
As it would be a nice improvement.

-->What is up with people quoting everything I say, do they think it emphasizes their point or makes them smart, I just don't get it, if you want to quote me, quote what you disagree with.

Three secret cards, a secret level, at least four levels with secret sections of the map, more than half of the items must be located by picking them up in random spots, etc.

I don't think so. Think of it from a story perspective, you're rushing to take back the kingdom, do you really have time to go to a random dungeon and kill rats?

Not everyone understands how quotes work, but they want to make it obvious who they are responding to. You do not need to attack people.

Not a random dungeon, but an opportunity to relax in an inn or something. Talk with the folks.

But you already do that in battle. IN BATTLE...

[DragonKnight Jason]

Relax in inn in or something?, yeah well when I'm playing YU I'm not rlly too relaxed I find myself rushing in case I run out of cards or some sort of thing pops up to make me use up my turns.

Don't you hate it when you have to get all your units to a check point all of a sudden? I use a lot of power cards so this kills me. Happened to me twice n I had to restart the whole thing. That has got to be the most frustrating moment I have ever had when I lose due to running out of cards, well that and the 1 time these witches got 3 straight critical hits on Milanor....Good times...Good Times... (thats being sarcastic)

Of course, Rai... Yggdra has to have smooth skin if she's going to be with important people. :O

Isn't that a totally diffrent complaint?

When they were talking about the inn, they meant between the stages. or between sections. ( when I say sections I mean 1-1 is a diff. section then 1-2 )

You saw in the dessert they restocked in the towns. I wouldn't mind a place inside the inn just to cool off. But hey.... there's already a place where Yggdra cools off....

Everything you say is a good point Sturm, although I am not saying that it has to be in there, because of course it would come with a logically necessary consequence due to it's system and story, which is why this has cause so much controversy. Just saying that it's fun to have those things in a game, because that's my style of gameplay.

So yes you are right, however I'm just adding suggestions that would make it more to my liking.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it is your style of gameplay, how exactly is it supposed to be fun for the rest of us if you put in these things you're suggesting? Just thought about pointing that out.

So yes you are right, however I'm just adding suggestions that would make it more to my liking.

See above.

They make the game the way it is because they think the MAJORITY of the people like it that way. Sure, there'll be people who disagree, and wish things were done differently, but games are to cater to the majority, not the individual. If games were made for every single individual, we'd not have any really good discussions about games.

I would think the majority of people would like an extra option at the save screen. Am I wrong?, because that's hard to believe. If YU had extra stuff like I explained in the previous posts I believe YU would have a lot more "active fansites".

Well, I like the game just as it is...

"Extras" do not make fansites. Ridiculous popularity does.
