According to the world view in the game, it is obvious that the so-called sea of clouds corresponds to the sea, and the Titan beast corresponds to ships or land.
But the key is how many people can this giant beast accommodate
"So is it an alternative nautical-themed game? Players control the protagonist Lex to adventure in the sea of clouds in the underworld, and then go to the World Tree together?"
Zhang Yi was guessing in his heart.
The content of the game soon arrived at the port of Geltmont. What followed was a series of teaching guides, opening and viewing the map, and a money-making gameplay similar to salvage.
At the same time, he also completed a hide-and-seek task with his teammates. The entire game framework made Zhang Yi feel very retro. This is the most traditional RPG game framework.
However, on the map, Zhang Yi feels quite free, especially since the game can also control Lex to reach unusual-looking venues by jumping.
What is worth mentioning is that Zhang Yi donated his first life here. He trotted all the way to the hotel on the third floor. Then he jumped up and down and fell from the air, taking away his first life. A life.
After walking around the exchange, places such as hotels and shops were all in an unlocked state.
Obviously, it will be unlocked slowly as the plot progresses. After shopping around and finding that there are not many things that he can touch at the moment, Zhang Yi also follows the prompts to advance the plot.
"Niya, is there Zhen? This should be one of our own, but this President Baan doesn't seem to be a good person."
As the plot progressed, seeing Lester taking on the task of salvage, Zhang Yi also guessed the camps of several characters.
Some content has actually been revealed in the previous promotional trailer, that is, Nia is on Lex's side. As for whether Mie and Zhen are one of them, it is hard to say.
After all, judging from the sudden attack on Lex by Mie, who is really like a robot without any emotional fluctuations, and only Nia's performance of being a bit vindictive, these two rough guys are likely to be the villains, and Nia may come to Lake later. This side.
As for President Baan, Zhang Yi just did it for his face.
The maids and ladies around me all had so little fabric on their bodies, and they looked so wretched that they didn’t look like good people.
As for Nia, judging from the dialogue, she seems to be a catwoman with a bit of willfulness and impatience. Regardless of her age, personality, and the time she plays, she feels like she is a proper heroine.
But considering Homura appears in the promotional trailer, is this a game with multiple female protagonists
Are we all Lex's wings
Zhang Yi thought happily.
Of course, putting aside these speculations, there are still some things worth complaining about Zhang Yi, that is, this game is full of bad taste.
He got 100,000 yuan from Barn, and then bought several thousand yuan worth of equipment under the guidance, which suddenly made him excited.
Because he found that compared with the prices in this game, one hundred thousand yuan could be said to be a huge sum of money in the early stage. However, the next second Lex sent ninety thousand yuan back to the village, which fully demonstrated the bad taste.
If you want to send it back to the village, then you send it first!
What the hell is it like to hold the money in your hands first and then let yourself spend it!
While making complaints, Zhang Yi also slowly advanced the plot of the game.
At the same time, I also learned more new content, such as the special moves of the Blade and related combos of the Blade.
In the original version, this part of the content will be a tutorial that will only appear when you come to the Gullah Territory later. After all, Lex does not have his own coordination blade at this stage.
However, considering the smoothness of the subsequent performance and the player's experience, Chen Xu also placed it here on the sunken ship and demonstrated it through Nia and Mie's Iron Blade.
"It seems a little complicated!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the game's instructions, and he felt that there were still some contents that were not fully displayed here.
For example, in the upper left corner, he found that there were three energy slots that could be accumulated, but he didn't know what they were used for.
In addition, the so-called special blade combo in the game previously meant that monsters would be provided with endurance balls, but he had not seen this point either.
However, he was not given much time to study the combat system, which he had not yet understood. Soon his attention was attracted by the plot of the game.
Well...it's not purely plot.
Because if he thinks about it honestly, "Xenoblade Chronicles", at least as far as the current plot is concerned, is not that unexpected, but has a pure traditional RPG flavor.
When the shipwreck arrived, Lex helped Zhen and Mie open a treasure house, which contained the target of their trip: the Holy Grail of Heaven.
And this Heavenly Holy Grail happens to be a very beautiful girl, Lex also happens to be really touched from behind, and it happens that the Heavenly Holy Grail is willing to give half of its life to Lex and become his special blade, and let her He took her to paradise.
Both parents are dead, he has a boat and a house, and now his wife is sent directly from the sky. This is such a standard protagonist template!
What follows is a cutscene that lasts several minutes, a standard development of the King's Way series.
Lex, who successfully coordinated the special blade, wanted to regain the ground with Mie Yuzhen but was beaten directly. At this time, it was obvious that Nia, who had just joined the enemy organization not long ago, and had a kind heart, was also on Lex's side.
Fortunately, Lex's grandfather arrived to the rescue in time. At the same time, from the exchange between Mie and Homura and the fact that Lex's grandfather actually called Lex's Titan beast Qinglong, it was obvious that there seemed to be an unknown trace behind it.
The whole story is not very surprising, but the excellent performance and exciting BGM still make Zhang Yi feel a little excited, as if he has found the same feeling as when he was a child playing traditional RPGs.
Of course, what excites Zhang Yi even more is that he has to admit one thing, that is, Mr. Chen really understands it!
Homura's behavior when he gave half of his life to Lex and asked him to touch the core of his chest, and his in-game performance when Lex woke up from a coma when he was rescued by Grandpa Qinglong and accidentally fell to the forgotten land of Gula Territory. It turned out to be a first-person perspective.
At that time, the player happened to be lying on Yan's lap. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yan's gentle and caring look. The front BUFF was simply full!
The only thing that made Zhang Yi complain again was the sacrifice of Grandpa Qinglong.
The sad melody, parting words, and Lex's sad look made Zhang Yi sigh at that time.
But the next second, the originally tragic scene immediately turned into a funny scene. Grandpa Qinglong didn't die at all, he just changed from an adult Titan to a young Titan.
All his feelings were wasted!
The next step was to find Nia, which didn't have much trouble.
But here Zhang Yi came into contact with more systems in "Xenoblade Chronicles". For example, different Xenoblade Chronicles have unique scene skills.
For example, Yan has the power of fire. Occasionally, he encounters a big tree blocking the way and needs to use the power of fire to burn it. This can be regarded as an element of resource allocation and decryption.
In addition, there is a scene map in the game, which has a variety of collectible props. This is also a major feature of traditional RPG. Zhang Yi did not show any fuss.
What really shocked him was when he walked through the Forgotten Road to the Land of Overlook, and the entire game's camera turned into a long shot, giving him an unobstructed view of the scenery in Gula Territory.
"Holy shit! This map! This is a traditional RPG!? Where's the maze!? Where's the linear map!? Is this an open world?" Zhang Yi's eyes widened.
The scene just now reminded him of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," a masterpiece he had played before. When he came out of the cave and saw the entire initial terrace scenery, it felt like déjà vu.
But the key point is that this is a traditional RPG map!
Although the previous shipwreck salvage plot and the Forgotten Land were all able to walk freely, they were basically one path with nothing to choose from, similar to the maze in a traditional RPG.
Branch intersections are just some treasure chest props that can be collected.
But now
Zhang Yi opened the map in the game and was shocked.
If he hadn't known that he was playing a traditional RPG, he would have definitely thought it was an open-world ARPG game.
Because this map is so big! Is this a map that a traditional RPG should have?
And according to previously released information, this is just one of the areas.
Control Lex and Nia to walk on the land of Gula Territory. In the distance, there are horses playing by the water, scaly cows eating grass on the grassland, and a large colorful bird flying out of the dense ancient forest. Soaring in the sky, the wolves are sleeping soundly on the boulders.
Zhang Yi can only describe the art of the entire map as stunning. Walking on the Gula collar with green waters and green mountains, his mood seemed to calm down.
Until a gorilla in his eighties appeared in front of him.
