I just finished my second session with the game and just wanted to post exactly this. This was the best story chapter I played in a Muso game (only played the original HW and Fire Emblem Warriros).
As soon as the music kicked in at the beginning of the boss fight I was super pumped and got goosebumps at the very same time. They made Revalis theme even better. And the cut scene right after was exactly what I imagined to see when the game got announced.
I hope the game can maintain that level during the whole story campaign.
Besides that I'm super impressed how different every each character feels. Link already plays so differently depending what type of weapon you choose. Lance Link and Urbosa are my favorites so far.
I can already tell this is going to be one of my top Switch titles.
The super linear corridor maps that you can't climb really don't do a good job catching the spirit of BotW lol
I'm only in Chapter 2 though so maybe they open up later.

It's on the main map. It'll show levels/missions that have the items you're looking for with a green waterdrop effect behind their icons.
Love musuo and loved the first one, but am I crazy or is the framerate just absolutely garbage?
It won't keep me from playing, but this feels much worse than the first one in that sense.

The more I play the more I realize, while they've improved the voicing and cutscenes, the story telling really isn't that great. I don't feel like I'm getting anything actually new here outside of the bits that would have clearly diverged from the original timeline.
Im happy to keep playing, but Id even say I got more from the diaries in the Champions Ballad. With any luck BotW2 will marry this quality of cutscenes and voicing, with the more intimate storytelling of those diaries (and cutscenes as sparse as they were).

I feel weird not really clicking with the game until I unlocked Mipha...
I love Zelda/Impa but their move sets are just SO extra I was kinda desperate for a normal move set. I like how speedy Mipha is and that ranged bubble attack that multi-hits things!
(Link plays fine but the fun of these games is getting to play as side characters).

She doesn't play like anything I've played across a spectrum of Warriors games. She's a character for sure though I won't touch until I unlock all her attacks/combos. Normally tough to play characters are broken once you learn how to play them, so we shall see!
Same. I only have four people unlocked so far and legit none of them have played the same and have a unique gimmick that's pretty fun and makes me at least think for a second who I am playing as.
Playing as her more + bonus attacks and she starts to be pretty fun. She never feels like a very graceful attacker, but she does get strong
Yeah, it's super routine. Feels like official fan fiction, really. Which is kind of like the previous Hyrule Warriors, but kind of even worse when combined with grandiose nature of the BotW production values. Well, even the original BotW wasn't anything amazing, but it was sparse enough you didn't have to soak it in too much. Here I'm just cringing a lot at the super basic dialogue and plot lines.
My partner just randomly started watching One Piece and here I am thinking damn many of these storylines are heaps better than what AoC is giving me. I sincerely hope this isn't the level of storytelling we should expect from the main game.
Noooot really. Feels about the same to me. Maybe a little better, but still not a stable 30FPS.
I'm realy digging Mipha.
She's fast, has good reach, and her special also has a small heal as an extra bonus.
Figured out how to get the bonuses from smithing (same shape affixes when you unlock new slots at 5/10/15/20).
Her starting spear is like 40 attack at level 5 and +8% speed.
Broke the bank to get link and zelda some proper fused weapons.
Going to get Urbosa tomorrow. I love me aggressive characters and she looks to fit my play style.

That's too bad. Thanks for the update, though. I didn't want to read too much and run into that many game details.
show or the Warriors games?
Like OP is pretty great in general with its writing in spite of where it's located.
Played a few hours tonight and loving it so far. Trying to wrap my head around the story but I will keep playing to see where they take it. I loved
!
baby sidon
Pretty eh. BotW's story wasn't like, amazing, but it was better than this. This is very basic.
My biggest complaint is that this game makes me play as Link too much.
I'm on the ninth mission, and the seventh and eighth both made me use Link for their final bosses, and now in the ninth he's the only playable character
come the fuck on Nintendo, you made so many awesome movesets and made this game to feature all the characters, let me be them instead of bland ass Link who I already played 200 hours of BotW with!

I really like it, more engaging cutscenes than BotW already
There's some nice character interactions. Other than that, it's pretty eh.
Especially since all three of Link's weapon types share those twenty slots. Why.
Yeah. You use korok seeds to expand your inventory just like in BotW.
Looks like it's only split screen😞 my husband and I would have welcomed being able to play Co op with our individual Switches
I'm only five or six main missions in, but so far I think this story is worse than Hyrule Warriors 1. The first HW was doing things each chapter, some of it hokey but still things.
Age of Calamity, here's a mission where we climb Death Mountain. Just... nothing happens, you just climb up and down the mountain. There's no plot, there's not a lot of characterization (certainly nothing beyond what was in BotW), and since I know this isn't actually how this part of the story happened it's hard to care at all.
The big dumb spectacle of HW's story matched the big dumb spectacle of the gameplay better than here too. We still get big dumb gameplay (which is the important part and 99% of the reason I'm here), but now it's paired to more subdued storytelling.

I prefer this story, but I've also never been a fan of weird crossover fanfiction type stuff the first Hyrule Warriors was full of. Not that this game's story is anything great, of course. It's serviceable.
Got all the Champions unlocked before quitting for the night. I really enjoyed all their stages (with Revali's being a standout for me) except Daruk's (damn fire moblins). I enjoy playing with all the champions so far—except Daruk (tbf, I never usually go with the slow/powerful big guy types anyway though).
Mipha and Revali are my favorites to play as so far, as they're both super fast and have wide ranging attacks that tend to clear keeps. Urbosa and Impa are super fun too and Link is reliably good. Zelda. . .I would only use if I absolutely had to. (Her play style is just odd and it's hard to want to play as her with everyone else around.) Same with Daruk.
As for the story. . .it's serviceable so far. The only thing I guess I can say is kinda annoying is that the story is kinda pushing you to care about the egg guardian's and relastionship with Zelda. Kinda just makes me eyeroll more than anything, even if I do find the little guy to be kinda cute.
Overall, I'm having a blast with it!

Loving it so far but question... is it obvious how to unlock characters? I know some are via the story mode, but some aren't. Want to get as many as soon as possible but don't want to spoil the surprises to look it up on a guide.
Also are koroks limited to the story missions or also the challenges?

Honestly still feels like fan fiction so far with the level of routine dialogue and focus solely on character interactions and regurgitating BotW over any really interesting plot thread, tbh. I have doubts it'll go anywhere interesting or novel.
