Hello everyone- with 10 days left to the release of Pokémon Legends Z-A, I thought I would give my thoughts on the final trailer to the game. Let's get to it.
I will mainly focus on what stands out at me. No matter which version I look at, I think the presentation looks solid. Graphics don't bother me at all on the base Switch or Switch 2 as someone who plays a lot of retro and retro-reimagined games (likely upgrade before the release of Generation X next year). I will also reiterate I do not need or want voice acting in the game simply for the sake of having it; I will accept it if it's good quality, it suits the story and actually adds to the experience.
The Lumiose City map looks way larger than it does in X and Y; and there are benefits to having the setting take place in one map. Hub world looks great, I don't think it looks empty at all.
I cannot verify the Xenoblade comparisons to the game (I have not played Xenoblade and do not plan to), but I can say the combat system reminds me of ones from SMT/Persona and the Ryu Ga Gotoku catalog. That is a very good thing as a big fan of those.
As for Mega Dimensions, I am personally waiting for a proper release date before I opt in; and that will likely be after beating the main quest. I am intrigued by the idea as Kalos never got a third main game before now, with its ideas being used in OR/AS and Alola instead.
Leaks aside (don't send me any), I have finally decided on starting with Totodile; and I will be competing online for the Kalos starter mega stones. I do like the day one perk of a Ralts with Gardevoirite. I still consider it my most anticipated game of the year; which is saying something given how this has been another surprisingly great year for video games.
Finally, I would like to you a funny story about when I went to get my shiny Koraidon and Miraidon. I did manage to get one of the codes I was after at Gamestop late last month, but apart from the obvious furor of being the same day as the new TCG set (attempts to joke about both on X/Twitter got them community noted multiple times); two people tried to accuse me of line-jumping, I pointed out the lack of staff to handle two dozen customers and the line turned into mush. A third accused me of livestreaming him when I was actually texting about a grocery pickup; even had to show him the text to show I wasn't lying. I was lucky enough to get a code, but the whole state from my closest location in Linn County to Portland, OR ran out in 3 hours. ... Needless to say, the second go-round went much smoother. That is all for now, take care.
