YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 NOOOOO! Ah well, wouldn't be the first time! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I bit the bullet and bought Yokai Watch. Merry Christmas to me and whatnot. I'm looking forward to playing the full game and seeing what I think of it. All it makes me think of so far is that it's Shin Megami Tensei Jr. what with the fusions, monsters based on mythology, etc. Not that me calling it SMT Jr. is a slam, mind you; that's just the first thought that popped into my head and I thought it was kinda funny.

Plattym3 2,574 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Let me know, oh great bandit. SMT Jr. sounds like it'd be just fine to me! Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Ok, time for some of Yangus' Patented Thoughts! As of this point I'm nearly 3 hours in, so let's get started! -The game is told in an episodic nature, much like a TV show or, better example, the anime itself. So far one has gone as "a situation comes up due to a Yo-Kai, so you need to find a Yo-Kai to help!" It's a standard formula but it works thanks to the humor. In this example's case, the special Yo-Kai you recruit (Jibanyan) recounts his story of how he became a Yo-Kai, and while sad the game isn't afraid to throw in some laughs. -Speaking of laughs, there have been some good laugh out loud moments with the game so far. The writing is pretty good, especially for Whisper and his snarkiness! -The recruitment system is like a combination of SMT's demon negotiation and the early Dragon Warrior Monsters food system: giving a Yo-Kai food in battle will increase the chances of it joining. Each Yo-Kai has a particular food they like more than others, and giving them said food will greatly increase the chance of them joining. It isn't a guarantee by any means, but once you figure it out it will at least better your chances. -The bug catching mechanic is a fun little diversion. I haven't quite figured out when to stop the roulette to make sure you land on a space, but that aside, I like how you can catch bugs (and fish by the looks of it) to trade or sell for goods/money. -The battle system is, like I said before, a lot of fun. Being able to team up Yo-Kai of the same family to strengthen them and seeing what each is capable of is a great incentive to try different teams! -Speaking of families, there are 8 classes of Yo-Kai. -The Yo-Kai camera feature you can use is a nice little side mode to the game. I took a few practice pictures and each time I got a different Yo-Kai to show up. My favorite one i got was when the Yo-Kai Droplette showed up: the game proceeded to tell me I was possessed by this Yo-Kai because I have sweaty armpits...I proceeded to laugh hysterically. Glad I picked this up, and I can't wait to keep up the adventure. Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Here's a helpful source for the Yo-Kai in the game. It lists all the food each one likes, what family they are in, etc. Needless to say it's been great for recruiting. http://yokaipedia.net/list-of-yokai/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Took on the first major boss, and it was an interesting fight! The trick was to target each of his heads and find the one hiding the weak spot (or what you're actually supposed to hit). So far I have 24 Yo-Kai, one of which was a Rare Yo-Kai thanks to the Crank-a-Kai machine! He's a powerful sucker too, and helps boosts the whole party. Isa nice! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Plattym3 2,574 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Ugh, my game wish list is growing. Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 You won't regret it Platty. Like gooie said, the demo for the game did not do it justice at all. It's been a lot of fun, more so than I expected, and I'm glad I went ahead and picked it up. Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Glad to see someone else enjoying it I'm curious, Yangus: what are your thoughts on it being set in Poland the catching system? I think its randomness is a tad annoying at times. Do you like how it works? Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I actually really like the system. Yeah it's random factor is odd even with the right food, but honestly I enjoy it. It reminds me oh so much of the recruitment system from the GBC Monsters games, and I loved that recruitment system. Perhaps the sense of familiarity is why I'm one of the few who actually likes it. Link to post Share on other sites

Although I'm predicting I'll be getting this first. I did a lot of Etrian Odyssey last year. Need more of a break. Link to post Share on other sites

Heh, I like it too, it just gets a little annoying when you have to try using the same food item for an hour to catch one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that you need a break from EO... But I get where you're coming from Platty. If I didn't power through Untold 2 at the 3rd stratum back in August, it would still be in limbo. Dungeon crawlers are great, but sometimes you need to step out of the dungeon. I haven't hit a wall like that, gooie! XD Only thing I've had trouble with is finding certain Yo-Kai at spawn points. Took a long time for Hungramps to show up and recruit! Edited November 26, 2015 by YangustheLegendaryBandit 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It's only for the really high ranked ones (A and S ranks), but when you're trying to catch a specific one and it just isn't happening, that's when the catching system gets a little annoying to me. On the other hand, when you do finally get it, it's so satisfying XD Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Oh, I didn't think about higher ranks being a problem like that...that definitely makes sense why it could take an hour! I'm curious though, when does fusion come into play? I've been looking forward to that feature... Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 As soon as you get to Blossom Heights (the second area of town), basically. It's the temple to the far left. However, you need to do a quest before you're allowed to use it. It's just to catch two Yokai (Mochismo and Dulluma), so if you grab those you'll be good. Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,692 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Excellent! I don't think I'm far off from that then as I just got to Blossom Heights. Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The quest is in the temple itself, so if you head there you can accept the quest. They don't stop you from heading there instead of the intended spots. Link to post Share on other sites

Slime Master 105 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I was able to access that site, so perhaps there was a server issue or glitch or something that resolved itself. Link to post Share on other sites
