So I had played the 1.1 update, aka the Beta beta, Story update!
Note: There be spoilers!
How to break it down? I would say in confidence that this is good stuff, haha! I didn't want to stop. Of course it's awesome that Beta (get it, pun? Level-5, you so silly!) managed to get in the game and to be fair, this game is already surpassed cautious optimism to confident assurance for me to pick it up in release season (which I believe would in the autumn time, ah, that would be great because if so, I can get it on my birthday or let along a holiday).
So excited!
Anyways, Focus Battle in terms of the Story versions?
They're really silly but the fact is that they really dive into some concerning situations. However, my favorite one that was silly was the Wayward Elder that would get herself lost but the plot is that she was playing a parody of Pokemon Go and I can't help but to go 'Aww! She wanted to get her granddaughter something for her game, how sweet.' but at the same time, 'I have concern for you lady because you're getting yourself lost, lol.'
It's a personal matter that I can relate to.
As far as Destin, okay, seriously dude needs a hug. A big one as well especially with his frustration with soccer (football) because of what he's been through and well, I also did enjoy Cedric (The dude's energetic but chill and the type I would like to hang around with) and Briar who at the same time is dealing with issues as well and just wanted to get out from underneath the thumb of his controlling father.
I enjoy the cast we had been given but I want to see more of it. I'm flatout invested to see how this game would go!
In terms of the Competition Mode, I'm glad things had been addressed with solid controls among other things so you know, that's a plus (and relief) from the awkward gamer moments from being too commonplace to which I commend. Anyhow, I'm glad there is Chrono Stone rep, but I wonder if this beta will translate over to the final version, hmm.
That would be good.
