  • The Space Armada level of Star Fox Event Horizon, the penultimate level of the Lylat Wars. To no one who is even remotely familiar with Shears's surprise, the surrender blows up in everyone's face, some more literally than others.

    When the protagonist stops talking, you should probably shut up immediately.
    Fox is angry now. He's dropping his leader act and he's focusing his full attention and rage on what needs to be done.
    He's literally entering The Gamer State. Much like the player is right at this moment.

    So, I just want to point out that there's a reason that Fara's death likely didn't have anything to do with Krystal's later introduction. That reason, in a tragic irony, also would make her death hurt a LOT more for Fox than I think people realize.
    (Leaving a gap for spoilers just in case this is something not everyone would want to read. I doubt it'd be a problem, but hey, better safe than sorry, right?)
    In the old Starfox comic that Fara comes from, iirc, it was revealed at one point that Fox and Fara were actually related (I think they turned out to be either cousins or cousins first-removed). This means that not only did Fox see a friend die before his eyes, he also saw what, as far as he knows, was his LAST remaining living family die before his eyes.

    I know it seems farfetched, but if this is the end for Fara, is it possible during the Saurian campaign that via the help of the Krazoa she pulls a James McCloud, delivering both poetic justice to Shears and allowing her friends to say goodbye? It would certainly be fitting if she looked to Krystal and told her with a wink, "Take care of Fox for me, will ya? The guy's helpless without a strong woman to lean on."

    Yeah, I had a hunch Fara was going to die. She just has 'death flags' all over her, especially with Krystal eventually coming along.
    I did not see Shears being the one to do it, though. Or to do it in such a manner, but wow that was also effective.
    I definitely approve of having Fox just not say anything once he 'pulls himself together' - it almost makes him go full Ace Combat silent protagonist and also establishes that Fox has gotten fully serious once his initial grief passed.
    Anyways, since I know someone's going to say Fara got fridged - I'd say lean into that with the character reactions afterwards, especially with the way it happened. Sort of like what Arcane did with Sky's death - everyone knows it was unfair and a waste, and they share that frustration at the loss. I imagine there's a cutscene after this, so I'd take the time to focus on the whole team's reactions to make it clear her death isn't just about making Fox angry. And well, bring her up later at appropriate times such as when Shears returns (though I'd have Slippy or Peppy being the ones much more vocal about it than Fox, just to make sure it's clear that the whole team is looking for payback rather than just Fox's manpain).
    ... why do I have a hunch that when the attack on Venom proper happens, Fox is not going to raise many objections to the collateral damage? Especially if the Cornerians aren't deliberately targeting civilian transports like Venom did but are not holding back with the ortillery and carpet bombing on military targets?

      I was thinking Fara would replace James's ghost as the one who leads Fox on the Andross base escape sequence, but the route out is collapsed and it takes an Arwing's full stock of nova bombs going off at once to clear the way. So she sees it that one of them has to die for the other to have any chance to survive.

      That was my biggest conundrum in Command. Why is Fox suddenly not jazzed about having his friends fly alongside him, since they were all on the same page in regard to the risks? Well, here's why. He still thinks about Fara.

    Fox going radio silent afterwards was an interesting touch. He's definitely going to take this hard, and I can see why it could lead him to ask Krystal to stand down from active duty later. Still a bone-headed thing to do on his part, but there's a little context behind the call.
    The dialog from Wolf and the inclusion of the Granby were nice touches, too. Good to see you're taking some inspiration from Zero, too!

I just hated that given how it doesn't make sense that Krystal specifically would be the one Fox worried about losing, because it implied that the other teammates were not any concern to him despite one being his mentor figure, and the other two being his long-time friends. I said this in another comment further down in the comment section but I was talking with this other guy about the Sauria level you showcased a few months back. I figured if there were any on-foot sections you might try to do it the SF Assault way where Fox utilizes a lot of weapons in addition to vehicles.

I only say this because your old trailer from many years ago showcases a scene with Krystal revving up a minigun.

    If you do go down the Command route with Fox breaking up with Krystal to protect her I think you should flip it on its head. Rather than having it be their parting of ways, instead make it so they will never leave each others side. Would play out something like this:
    Fox tells krystal to leave the team or equivalent but refuses to say why
    Krystal breaks a promise of not using her telepathy on Fox out of trust
    She learns all about Fara and what happened to her, seeing that Fox is worried that things will repeat and he will end up alone again. A neat little detail I thought here would be having memories of Fara be grey scale, like all the laughter and smiles are faded and cold but the betrayal of Shears and Fara's death are in perfect colour, every little detail is exactly how it happened.
    Krystal chases after Fox and eventually they end up somewhere and Fox is forced to open up about what happened, eventually saying goodbye to Fara and letting her finally rest in his mind
    It basically ends with Krystal saying that the safest place she could ever think of is by Fox's side and the two hugging with Fox and/or Krystal crying before returning to the rest of the team a little tired out but feeling much better. Essentially Krystal helps Fox deal with what is essentially his PTSD, depression and maybe even guilt over Fara's death

    Seeing how you appropriated the Core boss battle from the original Space Armada level for your Bolse boss fight, I was kind of curious what you were going to do here. Interesting idea to bring Star Wolf in, but they didn't seem to do much besides just show off to the player that both the Star Fox and Star Wolf teams are reduced down to their traditional Star Fox 64 members. I kind of expected to at least see Wolf slip into the shield after Fox blows up the first component to the beams, and become a hazard to have to avoid while inside the shield, but it did seem pretty cramped inside there already.
    Honestly can't wait until the game's done and I can play it. I've never played FreeSpace before, but I'll certainly get a copy just so I can set this mod up. I've also got to get around to playing Star Fox Zero just to see if there are any elements from that game that you've taken for inspiration, there's a lot here that wasn't in the original Star Fox 64.

But then again, I understand completely why you'd make that decision considering love triangles would inevitably form which could make it difficult for you and the fans to choose between one of them to be Fox's love interest.

  • @Freyafanboy90
    @Freyafanboy90 Рік тому +17

    It's good to see Shears given more of a fleshed out story. I saw the comic and Shears was a one note villain that seemed like spoiled potential. But this really makes things interesting. Ballsy move killing off Fara but this can show off Fox's broken psyche. I remember a few sources claiming that Fox was emotionally fragile or something of that nature. I can see how this would sedeway into Krystal coming into the picture. I guess that removing Krystal from the team was Fox's way of making sure she didn't end up like Fara. I'm guessing Krystal takes it personally and joins Wolf which means then Miyu and Fay enter the picture with one of those 2 being Foxes new love interest. Moneys on Miyu but yeah if anyone remebers the old Starfox Nintendo Power comic where Fox goes ballistic and detroys the Dancing Intersector and the Atomic Core. I can only imagine what he's going through after the battle. Having Fox be silent for near the whole level is a nice touch.

    The only thing missing imo is the other characters reacting to fara being shot down.
    Like...they do acknowledge it as the mission goes , but only Fox says something when her ship gets blown. I think you should add some lines in there as well.
    Doesnt need to be elaborate but to at least show shock...like
    Peppy: No! Fara!
    Slippy: Nooo!
    Falco: Fara! What the hell?!
    Finally, I think Fara's death was a bit lame, dont get me wrong, it doesn’t ruin anything, but it wasn't a great way to go.
    Perhaps, you can make it so shears targets Fox instead of Fara, which would make much more sense from Shears' point of view, but because Fara has a different arwing model, she isn’t actually affected by shears engine jamming thingy, and sacrifices herself to prevent the beam from hitting Fox. I think that would be much more fitting.
    Great job regardless

    I’m not watching this one as I really don’t want to be spoiled on this level, however, this is a very exciting upload! Not only is the space armada back, but we have a Granby class! Time for a rematch! I personally loved Star Fox Zero, and Sector Beta was my favorite level other than “Peppy’s Flight.” The Granby is definitely one of my favorite Star Fox capital ships. Not only was it incredible seeing it in an actual trailer for a new Star Fox game, but the fight was amazing as well and it even had a rip off wave motion gun complete with charging to 120%.
    Actually, I have some questions about Star Fox: Event Horizon. I noticed on the website it says the Zeram II and General Pepper’s flagship are playable units. Will the Great Fox be playable as well? Also, I’ve noticed the Great Fox is not listed on the Star Fox: EH website despite featuring in multiple videos.
    Secondly, do any of your uploaded videos feature the “Cloud Runner” Arwing? After reading its specs, that it’s an anti-capital ship Arwing with Railguns, I wouldn’t be surprised if it will end up being one of my favorite ships to play along with the X-03 Arwing and the capital ships.

I don't think she's a good character at all as she is written in the comics, but I would have liked to use this as an opportunity to fix her character, and maybe have her interact with Krystal in a more positive light to subvert the usual interaction the two characters have in fanon, being they will never interact in canon anyway. Maybe there are plot twists in store in the later chapters of Event Horizon, I don't know. Just a small gripe. Everything else looks fantastic.
