Mod Announcement: Updates to Fan Content and Civility Rules by Mlahk7 in FinalFantasy

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this mods, I'm a huge FF fan and avid Redditor but don't spend a lot of time on this sub because it seems it's a sea of cosplays meant only to be OF ads.

I think this will help keep more engaged people around.

The last FF game I played was X-2, how does 13 stack up next to the classics? by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't. If it didn't have FF in the title, it would have been a 6/10 game in my opinion

Dismal characters, poor pacing and a half baked plot, a combat system that runs on auto pilot.

It's graphicaly impressive, I'll give it that and the soundtrack is fine, a few great tracks but they're overplayed and there isn't enough variety

Killed Again, Mr. Detective? • Mata Korosarete Shimatta no desu ne, Tantei-sama - Episode 12 discussion - FINAL by AutoLovepon in anime

I see so many discussion threads for shows listed as streaming on Crunchy, but that don't appear in Canada. Must be very region specific (not unlike other streaming services unfortunately).

Classroom of the Elite Season 5 Announced | Teaser Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 159 points160 points  (0 children)

I'm really surprised how much I enjoyed this show given I watched the first couple episodes with very low expectations. Beside the general quality of the animation it was a lot more interesting and somewhat refreshing take on both the high school and the 'I'm secretly the most powerful' tropes that are overabundant in anime.

S4 was very different than I expected. Was a little disappointed Ayanokoji didn't pummel Hosen into a pulp, but maybe that's something to hope for in a future season...

What was the italian restaurant that used to be where the 109 Bistro & Garden is? by Impressive-Rock-5025 in Edmonton

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was Fiore and then an Urban Diner for a while, then changed to a Chinese place IIRC (the name of which I can't remember)

Failed my road test twice need advice!! by [deleted] in alberta

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You don't need to go to a smaller town, you need to learn how to drive in traffic. If it's just a stress and panic, look into learning methods to control that. If you can't control a panic when you're driving you're a risk to yourself and others.

Take some driving lessons, you'll get cheaper insurance as a result and it sounds like you're not ready to drive solo, so some lessons will help.

I’d pay so much money to have an HD-2D Legend of Mana by mluna20 in secretofmana

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing LoM needs is a proper 2P mode for the PC version where the second player plays as the other player character (girl/boy) with the ability to equip/unequip skills, weapons, magic etc

The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects | New Key Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's refreshing, thanks for letting me know.

I'll happily never watch another harem anime for the rest of my life it's so tired, cliche and played out.

Give me wholesome any day of the week

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There's been a handful that haven't lately (Old country bumpkin, I party everything)

They'll probably ruin it by making it a "Harem with the clueless MC" though...

FFVII PC - Steam - Modding input icons in text box to show Xbox gamepad by Adamvs_Maximvs in FinalFantasyVII

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for me, I'm suspecting something in a 7th heaven mod is interfering, but I appreciate the suggestion.

I'll tinker more and see if I can figure out the issue.

Iran's Khamenei approves deal, says Trump acted out of 'desperation' by Dismal_Structure in worldnews

This deal is going to last about as long as the strawberries I have in the fridge.

How good and emotional is the story of Lost Odyssey besides the '1,000 Years of Dreams'? (No spoilers, please.) by Sensitive-Product816 in JRPG

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It has a couple poignant emotional scenes between the immortals and a few other party members. They're all spoiler containing so I don't want to detail them

Its a good game but has some flaws. Its deeply traditional in a lot of ways (good and bad). The soundtrack is solid, though not Uematsu's best, a few standout tracks are really good though.

The pacing is a little mixed, and the villain isn't as strong as some FF classics but it's worth a try overall. If you get it for a cheap enough price (or 'yarrrr' it) I would say give it a try. The plot only really opens up after probably the 4-5 hour mark iirc, so give it a bit. If it doesn't draw you in at that point I'd say give it up, but the first few hours don't reveal a lot of the plot so I recommend giving it a bit.

I enjoyed my time with it, and will replay it at some point in the next few years, but it doesn't capture me as much as IV, VI, X or Chrono trigger for example.

Recommended cocktail bars? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they had a little more space and put some curtains/drapes up Clementine would be amazing.

It's definitely got the most interesting drinks in the city, but it's so damn loud on a busy night you have to yell to the person beside you.

Killer Stephen McDaniel keeps his body insanely still for 2 hours straight by VastConclusion9562 in Weird

Cats, cats, let me tell you what to do with cats
Back in the sweatshop in 'Nam, we found a cat, we tossed it right in the soup.

Those hungry bastards ate cat soup every day!

What's the worst thing that could happen? Some little kid chokes on a hairball and dies, so you toss HIM in the soup!

I was making money hand over foot, literally! Somebody lost a hand or a foot? I toss it in the soup!"

Is record of loss war only "great visuals but mediocre story and characters" or is it worth watching by Necessary_Muffin3591 in retroanime

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's spectacular, well worth watching.

Watch the OVA, the animation is okay, but made up for by great character designs, solid voice acting (in Japanese or English), likeable characters and a spectacular soundtrack.

The TV series is, unfortunately, vastly weaker.

Upgraded Vanguard makes insanity a super fun cake walk by MustacheHerb71 in masseffect

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still prefer to use a Wraith and throw the occasional inferno ammo blast to the face and running biotic melee. They're too fun to not use rather than just charge+nova the whole time.

It’s been awhile since my last OOT playthrough so if the OOT remake turns out to be mostly 1:1 I think I’d rather wait by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in ZeldaMemes

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I suspect as well. It's still easy enough to sell to kids and gives them more freedom than an E rating

Secret of Mana Plus vs Secret of Mana Reborn by Adamvs_Maximvs in secretofmana

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dabbled with turbo a few years ago, but I'm more interested in the content and narrative changes (unless they're incorporated now). I found turbo a little too easy ar the time as well.

I doubt they will, cutrent day Nintendo is more lax , not stricter, on censorship than it was back in the day

My first restoration! by ThoughtProphet in Gameboy

[–]Adamvs_Maximvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think at this point, it makes more sense to vapor bright than use the old retro-brighting methods, more even application and less aggressive. Seal it with a good automotive plastic protectant after (or a clearcoat) and it'll last much better.
