Or possibly I’m misremembering and Id can use those powers because they remembered Karen’s experiments and Graf’s training.

In which case, β€˜give it back’ is like a kind of subconscious reaction, like how Fei knows Elly’s name before she tells him it when he protects her at the start of the game.

To my understanding, Id can recall their past lives and knows how to use their Contact powers but could only recall the worst parts of Fei’s childhood (the parts they had to front for).

It’s only once Past Fei proves they have in fact been shown love, that they share their incarnations’ memories.

I was under the impression that Id DID have those memories?

Isn’t that why he can use his powers as the Contact? Like, I thought the point was that Id only shares the memories of their past lives when past Fei/The Coward shared their childhood memories.

I read a thread about games with terrible UI earlier and this video has been destroying me all day.

Replaying Bayonetta and the sheer campy energy of this game is still unparalleled even all these years later.

There’s an essay that could be made comparing the Star Wars sequel trilogy and Zeta Gundam and how both had to be follow ups to sci-fi epics that had their main plots resolved already and that essay will have to be made by not me lol do you think I wanna wade into sequel trilogy discourse lmao no

Bound Destiny 2 is almost everything I'd want in a sequel to the first game. It's more challenging, more robust, it escalates the story in a fitting way, and it has me simultaneously hyped to jump onto the last entry, but already thinking about how differently I'll approach this one on a replay.

07.11.2025 22:32 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

All of which culminates in a climactic finale, and an ending that genuinely moved me in a way that completely caught me off guard.

I'm now so deeply invested in this cast, and I can't wait to start the third and final game to see how their story ends.

And this game is really pushing its nature as a ROM hack even further. More custom animations, more elaborate maps. More in depth mechanics. Even a fully working My Castle like in Fates, on the GBA FE engine!

This game is kinda cracked.

The result is a game with even stronger ludonarrative than before. While a few maps and bosses feel a tad overtuned, at its best it made for a desperate, mean yet surmountable challenge that made me think of Radiant Dawn part 3 or Thracia's Manster arc.

Helped by a novel twist on FE permadeath.

And oh my god, there's so much depth and replayability. A large roster who all have THREE tiers of branching promotions, with more robust skill and item systems.

There are SO many ways to build your units in this game, and that huge power pays off much more in a harder game.

07.11.2025 22:32 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

BD2 is HARD. It's a big step up in challenge to the first game. Enemies are stronger, resources are less generous, and like most FE games, you'll need to pick a set of units to focus on to keep pace.

And this just allows the interesting mechanics of the first game to really shine.

07.11.2025 22:32 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Bound Destiny 1 was an experimental game that played around with FE conventions to dig deep into a relatively compact cast.

BD2 is more recognisably Fire Emblem. The cast is less focused, but as a trade off, your roster is bigger, broader and more varied.

Which is a huge benefit to the gameplay.

07.11.2025 22:32 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

True, the much broader cast means, much like Radiant Dawn, the new faces sometimes struggle to make an impact. A fair few characters are clearly just here to provide a gameplay function for the roster, not so much to be major characters.

And even then, they still get more than many FE characters.

This game raises the stakes with a more elaborate and abstract conflict (which says something when the first game was a dimension hopping war story).

And suffice to say, this is wear the series really starts wearing its Xeno series influence on its sleeve.
