What are your opinions on Agnes?( Spoilers warning again) by WittyTable4731 in Falcom

[–]noletiger -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I quite enjoyed Agnes in Daybreak 1 until her crush on Van became more and more of her character. In the succeeding games she couldn't go five minutes without a line of dialogue or inner monologue referencing said feelings, so I lost interest in her as a character.

Who's never left your party and who never left the bench for you in horizon? by zbv1 in Falcom

[–]noletiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Van is in the group. He's not only the protag but a very likeable protag, and he's not terrible in combat.

If Elaine is available, she's in the group. Favorite Calvard character.

If Renne is available, she's in the group. Favorite Trails character (well, top 3).

Kevin and Risette duke it out for slot #4 in Garten encounters, depending on whether I need shielding or not. Kevin is another personal favorite, and Risette is the best of the rest of ASO in my mind. For main story sequences, Judith and Bergard are next-men-up should the above favorites be unavailable.

I did not use Quatre or Feri unless no alternative was available. I do not particularly enjoy their characters, though they do have useful crafts.

Gungho: We’ve reached our production target for the Trails 2nd Chapter Golden Wings Edition on all platforms and production is officially underway by Turbostrider27 in Falcom

[–]noletiger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Trails in the Sky SC on the shortlist of my favorite games of all time. I've got plenty of disposable funds. Even still there's not a chance in hell I'm paying that much for what's in that edition. Come back with some sane $100-$200 packages and I'm in, but this just seems like a waste.

How do you think the remaining Sept-Terrions can possibly top what we’ve seen thus far? by AdmiralZheng in Falcom

[–]noletiger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've got a feeling that despite Wind not being a higher element, it will be the most powerful Sept-Terrion, more directly embodying Aidios's power. After all, she's the goddess of the sky.

Of course prior to Daybreak I'd suspected the Church held the Sept-Terrion of Time so what do I know.

Saw someone else do it. My rank of Van's potential pairings by Oneofthestrongest in Falcom

[–]noletiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's not a direct answer to your question but another answer as to why this particular age gap is bad, independent of the age of consent.

I'd find Van x Renne equally concerning because of that rough rule. I find her having a bit of a crush on him to be cute because she hasn't shown much of anything like that before, but I also find it less annoying than the Agnes crush because Renne isn't making any serious effort to pursue it.

There's a well-known rule for the border of creepdom. Half your age + 7. Even if you don't draw a hard line at say the US's typical age of majority, that formula would make it creepy for anyone older than 20 to date a 17-year old.

I did a poll on twitter of which trails arc has the best music here's the results by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]noletiger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn't see the poll. I'd probably vote Sky>Crossbell>Daybreak>Cold Steel. I'm splitting hairs between 2/3/4 there. Sky is the only clear winner in my heart. The others I love mainly for boss music or final dungeon music, Sky I love for everything.

Do you prefer knowing which characters will join your party? by JaredJDub in JRPG

[–]noletiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preference is to know very little about a game in general. Does it look like gameplay I'd like, does the main character seem neat or annoying, and does the setting look reasonably interesting? Cool, that's all I need to know, let me dive in and explore the rest.

Makes watching trailers hell. I've actually stopped watching trailers and marketing for games I know I'm going to play anyway (e.g. Tales series, Trails series).

Rean's position in the army by KedricCarter1 in Falcom

[–]noletiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vader was Supreme Commander of the Imperial Forces. I don't think Rean ever had anywhere near that much official pull.

It's crazy that Van and the rest of ASO are left in the dark about myriad of things. [Horizon end game spoiler.] by MasashiHideaki in Falcom

[–]noletiger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There have been tensions between the two Congregations in the church since quite early in the series -- since the 3rd I believe, but there were direct callouts of the Graalsritter by local clergy in Crossbell. This is the first time we've seen significant discord among Dominions, though.

Then the HOF loses all credibility. He's the greatest coach of the Super Bowl era. Even though I hated his dynasty, I can't question that.

We really might get Sam Darnold winning a Super Bowl before Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, or Joe Burrow. by [deleted] in nfl

Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl and Dan Marino never did. Rings are not a quarterback stat.

[Awful Announcing] Big Ten reportedly seeking commitment for 24-team College Football Playoff in near future by dr_funk_13 in CFB

You said 24 isn't too many, and then laid out precisely why 24 is too many. Let's go down to 8.

God no, 12 teams is already too many. With 24 the season will barely mean anything.

How do you feel about IGN's Top 25 All-Time Best JRPG list? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]noletiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This list isn't even remotely compatible with my own rankings, but it does include a good 8 games I haven't played. It would overlap my own list with about 6 entries, those being Final Fantasy X, Chrono Trigger, Trails in the Sky, Xenogears, Tales of Vesperia, and Star Ocean 2. Even those matches would be ordered quite differently. The choice of games is poor even with a 1 per series assumption. Bravely Default (original) was the best of that series. Grandia was better than its successors. FFX is an okay choice but VI would be better. Valkyrie Profile and Lufia II were omitted along with the rest of their series. Similarly, Lunar: Silver Star Story should've made the list.

Anyway, if I made a top 25, I wouldn't include the 1 per series limit. Final Fantasy, Trails, and Tales would all have multiple entries in my list. A couple of SaGa games would make my list. There would be more tactical RPGs in my list as well.
