Completed World domination? Threads of Fate (aka Dewprism) MEGATHREAD!

[Crooked Bee]

Let's play Threads of Fate (aka Dewprism)!

There are two of us now: Crooked Bee and Black Cat's newest alt procrastinator. I will be LPing Mint's route and procrastinator will be doing Rue's route. Should be fun.

So what is Threads of Fate?
Threads of Fate, known in Japan as Dewprism, is an action role-playing game for the PlayStation console developed and published by Square. The story revolves around the adventure of two characters, Mint and Rue, and a highlight of the game is that the player is able to play from the perspective of either. The gameplay is simple and action-oriented rather than turn-based, playing more like an action platformer than a traditional menu-based RPG such as those in the Final Fantasy series. It is more similar in style to the Mana games by Square or even The Legend of Zelda series by Nintendo. The lead female character, Mint, attacks with a pair of chakrams, known as the Dual Haloes, and is a proficient magic user. The lead male character, Rue, is more physical and attacks with his axe, Arc Edge. He also has the ability to transform into various monsters that he defeats, utilizing their attacks and powers.

So what's good about this game?
The best things about Threads of Fate are its great characters and the character interaction, with the gameplay aspect being pretty simplistic. Simply put, the game is just plain fun.

Dark Heart of Uukrul?

Pool of Radiance?

LOL WHO NEEDS ALL THOSE NERD STAT SIMULATORS

Taste the real thing

The real story

The story of Mint

Name: Mint
Occupation: Pretty Princess
Goal: World Domination

Threads of Fate may not be a well known game, but everyone should play this game once in their lifetime. This game is an amazing experience with its unique gameplay, amazing story and varying cast of characters.

I can not express enough how much I loved this game. There aren't enough people who know about it.

I'm not waiting. No way.

Overall the game is perfect

STORY 10/10

GRAPHICS 10/10

GAMEPLAY: 10/10

"Princess! Behave yourself!"

SOUND: 10/10

"Princess! Please!"

KAWAIINESS: 10/10

GIRRRL POWAH!

This is what life's all about.

A tale of insolence

A tale of growing up

A tale of exciting adventures

A tale of not giving a damn

A tale of surprises

and twists

and rivalry and intrigue

Why is Doll Master with you?

"Oh, my dear sister, we must talk."

"Oh gracious...!"

"Have you even considered that for a second?"

Hmph! Of course, I have!

And eventually, I'll be the ruler of this kingdom.

You wanna know what I think?

I can go on forever. The point is, I'm the most qualified to become the next queen.

SHOCK!

What are you talking about?

"They have voted unanimously against your future succession to the throne."

What?

What does that mean?

"Therefore, the future queen of our kingdom will be Princess Maya."

OBJECTION!

YOUR HONOUR!

THAT CANNOT BE!!

Who decided this!?

"His Majesty also supports the decision."

!

"You have done nothing right!"

"You break curfew every day!"

Hey! When the time comes, I'll start shaping up.

A tale of power

A tale of succession

A tale of not minding your own business

A tale of being on one's own

"The next ruler of East Heaven will be me, not you."

"Do I make myself clear?"

...

....

.....

That's it... We'll see who's better!

The throne is mine! Do you hear me!?

It's magic!

!!

That's...

OH NOES

My dear sister, your self-taught magic is useless against the power of the Book.

Whatever...

(SOMETHING JUMPS OUT OF THE BOOK AND HITS MINT IN THE HEAD)

What was that!?

Oh the horror!

Horrible!

Unbearable!

If you do not, I will have you confined to your room and have the chef serve you nothing but pumpkins.

No!

A PUMPKIN APPEARS!

...

That look on Mint's face is priceless.

You're not serious, right?

IT'S...

WILD PUMPKIN CHASE!

A tale of standing your own ground

BLACKOUT

Why me!?

What did I do?

That's it!

I'm gonna get a powerful magic relic, too!

Hell yeah!

That done...

IT'S WORLD DOMINATION TIME!

I sense bad things for pumpkins at the end of this game...

Don't tell me that this guy will turn out to be... evil :shock:

 

[lightbane]

Hey, another lp!! Let's see what's this game about *notices the pics*



The weaboo faggotry is strong here...

 

[procrastinator]

^ Pumpkin haters?

 

[anus_pounder]

?????

 

[Excidium]

Woot another Bee LP!
*enters thread*

 

[Cassidy]

Call me biased, but I'd say world domination with rat diplomacy or with Gaddafi is more interesting than, what is this?

So you play as a selfish, spoiled little brat who desires the throne and world conquest? Refreshing change from the typical RPG heroes, that's for sure.

Hopefully the game can keep that up, instead of trying to reform Mint through the Power of [Love/Friendship/Spiritual Growth]

 

[juggernaut]

looking good Bee♪

 

[RK47]

Wow this game is totally random. -.- No western RPG can top this off in randomness. If any dev pull this off, gaming previews would've mocked them to death and burned to infamy in webcomics.

 

[ghostdog]

the hell ?!

:shock:

Well, one thing the japs do very well is weirdness.

To quote the infamous Jeff "Joker" Moreau "WHAT THE SHIT?!".

You nail that on the head, old chap! It's a refreshing change.

My complaints about this little piece of fecal matter is that during the long ass introduction with two princesses (and later on) there's just no tits and asses. NO T&A? What the fuck is this shit?

 

[Luzur]

wow, that guy got the S/M look done right.

a fine Gimp.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Deprived of her right to succession, our pretty princess goes on a hunt for a powerful magic relic

Sailing to a far far away land

Harbouring her world domination plans

Scheming about her future

Feeling tired

Two years, and no results

Ain't that many relics around

But Mint's a stubborn one

Power hungry

And unforgiving

But what's that? The two bros seem to be plotting something

Forget it. We got a bigger stash to go after.

I guess my brudda, Blood, always gots big plans.

We're gonna get busy after we get to Carona.

Tough guys, these two

Yeah. Chop him up real good.

Eh-heh, Eh-heh.

Food features strongly in this game

A commotion is heard

What? That red thing...?

SUSPENSE

Meanwhile, the princess is still lost in thought

Dreaming of making Maya scrub the toilet

WHEN SUDDENLY

The ship bumps into something, and Mint is off to the sea

Soon the waves consume her... Could this be the end of our pretty princess?

NO WAY

Mint regains consciousness in Carona, the nearby port town

Turns out a kind-hearted sailor rescued her

What's your name?

"Pulling people out of the water is my job, too."

...Yeah... Thanks.

"Generally, it's a safe place, but I noticed some suspicious characters comin' in lately."

"I guess I'll see you around."

Now that Mint is on her own

Time to explore the little town

Maybe they're after the relic, too.

SUDDENLY SOMEONE KICKS MINT AWAY

Yo! Hurry up and get your butt over here!

We're goin' to the forest.

Nobody hits me and gets away with it!

And so we explore around the Carona docks

WC!

Arriving to the main square

Those hoodlums said they were going to the forest.

I wonder what they're up to... Maybe I should go, too.

And now it's blah blah time

"I'm hoping to make a lucky find."

"If you come across anything unusual, let me know. Thanks."

Let you know? LOL. The treasure's all ours!

"My profession? I'm just a humble trader."

BOOOORING

"I'm known to offer some of the best deals."

The trader notices Mint's clothes

"Are you from East Heaven, by any chance?"

Yup, from the land of pretty red-headed princesses!

Mint's strength, defense and HP are quite average at the moment
(I'll fill you in on this game's aR-Pee-Gee mechanics later.)

The local temple

Grand and majestic and stuff

"My name is Doyle. I guess that is not important."

"Have you come to pray?"

Yes??

"Would you like to make a donation?"

"I guess you could call them hoodlums."

Screw you

Some gal named Elena is not around

"Elena is the daughter of the shopkeeper next door."

The ruins? Like, magic ruins? Colour us interested.

"They haven't been back for 5 days now."

Sounds like a trail to follow!

But not before we save at the inn

As well as explore the town some more

"I can tell. You totally look like an outsider."

"I used to be a big-time adventurer. My risk-taking days are long gone. But I still enjoy traveling."

"I'm too old now. But on the bright side, I've gotten wiser. Come to me if you need any advice. I'll be around."

Screw you, too

Oooo a pimp water car

The local posh hotel

500 gold? You mad?

One of the local shops

Fuck you

Too? Whaddya mean, "too"?

"You won't find him now, though. He and his wife, Mira, left Carona last weekend."

So Klaus is the bastard gone to the forest and gotten lost?

Boy, we have news for you.

"That's crazy! There are monsters all over the place there!"

Screw the girl, we only need the relic

Another closed shop
The game really wants us to go to the forest

The local bar

Anette is the waitress. And that guy's a paedophile

"You should come by sometime. I carry some rare items."

We'll be sure to visit Hobbs' shop at a later point, as he'll be selling some mighty fine upgrades.

"Lately, I've been getting tired often. Maybe it's about time I retired."

And now we chat Anette up.

"Newcomers really stand out since there aren't too many people in this town. Welcome to Carona! What do you wanna drink? It's on me".

Being a bad girl, Mint goes for the beer

Drinks replenish Mint's Magic Points

We talk to Anette some more

"If you are, you're just wasting your time. It's just an old myth."

Stop the lies start the truths FFS

And off to the forest we go! Time to get some satisfACTION!
