    I got filtered by the combat in E33. I think the Mario RPG games have the right of it by only having one extra input for attacks. Going the Legend of Dragoon method of multiple inputs for every single attack and dodge is too tedious for me.

    I never got very good at it. I feel like they were worried that not enough people enjoy turn-based combat these days and were trying to spice it up.

    I love turn-based combat though and think it would've been just fine without the additions.

    Well for me it's the other way around. I can't stand turn based combat, it's an instant turn-off, but E33 spiced it up just enough for me to enjoy it

    Ironically, you saying E33 has Legend of Dragoon style timing attacks just bumped it to the top of my "how have I not gotten around to playing this yet" list. LoD is one of my top RPGs of all time, and we are either blessed or cursed that we have not gotten a remake of it.

    Eh... even 26 years ago the gimmick wore thin by the time you reached disc 3. A major distinction between the two is E33 kind of lives and dies by how well you dodge and parry. Unless you specifically build your party with huge HP pools (making every fight a long slog) there are a lot of attacks that just one-shot if they connect. This means in addition to timing inputs for all your own attacks you have to learn input timings for bosses and countless trash mobs.

    A lot of them do that Elden Ring thing where the animators can't help but sprinkle in some feints to trip you up.

    Yep, it's fine for bossfights but ugh did it get tedious for every trash mob fight.

    Also, accessibility should provide an option to 'auto-win' these. As a person with limited motor skills it was a huge pain.

    I tried playing E33 and spent a good 12+ hours. I dunno, it feels like it really just does not live up the hype. Am I missing something?

    I don't understand the upvotes here. This is fucking obnoxious to the developers. Nor do I understand why a French Captain is posting this here. I thought he liked his country.

    I'm Australian and since the 90s insulting The French, Italians, English, Scottish and Germans was an every day thing

    As an Australian. I don't think I'm better than any people who work hard and are caring for others.

    The French (99% Parisians) seem to think that their language is superior and they are superior and that for me makes me want to insult and annoy them.

    I feel the same towards many other countries that feel they are superior without actually being able to be superior. Just get in your own lane and behave.. Stop acting like you're better than everyone else when you constantly need help from other countries.

    I'm thinking of at least two other European countries when I said that last part.

    Okay, a few things, "French" is a nationality, the nation of France is a country with several different and very distinct cultures and ethnicities. Also the origin of this meme is most likely BRITISH and not American, both from the spelling and also because hating the French with no actual leg to stand on is a very British thing. The rivalry goes back MANY centuries and stems from so many things including the mutually incestuous royal families competing over Empires and more recently from how France shook down during WW2 (far more complicated than usually portrayed in British humour) and just from competing in sports. Some anti French sentiment exists in the US of course, partly from WW2 and "War on Terror" propaganda but mostly because of people growing up on British comedy especially Monty Python and Top Gear and parroting things and also because Paris is notoriously unwelcoming to tourists and for many those two things are their only real experience. To everyone, lighten up, and not everything, especially hating on the French in a nonsense and silly fashion, is about America.
