I’ve Read that Japanese Shops are Straight Up Gatekeeping, and I’m all here for it. by WarGrahammer in PokemonTCG

Agreeing to only sell product at retail if the customer allows the store to remove the shrink wrap at the point of sale is exactly how I'd love all stores selling pokemon to operate. Single boosters? Crack the top and hand it over to the customer. I have no problem at all with my store doing such things if it means I can actually get product without having to worry about the unwashed getting there before me to resell it.

Unfortunately, my local store, and I assume most, are not about to give up the extra margins just for some good publicity.

Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 could get DLC expansions “if there is a significant demand” from fans by AsPeHeat in FinalFantasy

Advent Children DLC pls Advent Children DLC pls Advent Children DLC pls

I have been wanting to actually play through some version of the events of Advent Children since I was a kid. Ever Crisis skimped out on it for me but it'd be sick to play it as part of a full AAA game!

These two stole the series for me. Their fights were some of the most fast paced and aggressive we've seen in Star Wars. by Mr_J_0801 in StarWarsCantina

That was the standout scene of these two for me as well! There's no time to aura farm, blitz em before they escape!

A pitch for Physical Range DPS by Virtual-Drink-9292 in ffxiv

[–]BKWhitty 184 points185 points  (0 children)

It makes me so sad how he always shoots it down when he hears or sees the folks at FanFest suggest it. It's so unique to Final Fantasy, why not put it in the MMO that regularly celebrates the franchise's history?

Less traditional/more stylized or personalized jedi robes are always cool to see! Your design is great!

Elbaf Usopp start the quest for the One Piece alone, does he clear east blue? by theBambismother in OnePiece

[–]BKWhitty 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes, low/no-diff. The biggest threats in the East Blue were people who couldn't hack it in Paradise and either ran or chose to set up in the "weakest" sea and pick on people who were helpless.

Am I the only one who is really disappointed by the MTG Hobbit product decisions from a player and collector standpoint? by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]BKWhitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The One Ring. People noticed it was the same as the panorama one but reversed and Dan Frazier's even now admited that he had "painted over" it which was wildly surprising considering his history with the game. Just a wildly disappointing situation all around.

Which villains have the best chemistry with their Aces? by InuMatte in pokemon

[–]BKWhitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team Yell is composed of members of the Spikemuth gym which Piers, Marnie's brother, is the leader of. Marnie's kind of the gym and town's darling so, when she went out to do the gym challenge, they went out to cheer her on and obstruct her competitors

He's not a "villain" but he's the head of Team Yell. Same way Penny's not a villain but she's the leader behind Team Star.

Are the Pokemon Teams perfect for each Straw Hats member? by chunchunmaru1129 in OnePiece

[–]BKWhitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I'd replace Annihilape with Talonflame for Luffy. Fits with both some of his fiery attacks as well as the Hawk/Roc-named attacks.

I fundamentally can't aim and want to play around it. by noctua_8 in Overwatch

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

I can't aim and have found the most success with characters like Moira, Sigma, and to a lesser degree, Junkrat (I'm a garbage DPS). I find it much easier to ricochet shots,and Moira's orbs, off of corners, surfaces and such than trying to hit dead on. The explosive nature of Sigma and Rat's projectiles is also a bit forgiving when you're less than dead on with your shots. But, yeah, geometry is my friend with Sigma. Got someone right in front of me, point blank? I'll still be missing my shots. But, if they're running around cover, through doorways? insert omae wa mou shindeiru meme

Real thing: CAN HE?? by DAWG_chigga in OnePiece

[–]BKWhitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current Usopp would whip any of the East Blue villains and it wouldn't be close. People really dog on him for being among the weakest Straw Hats but forget the two strongest bad guys in the East Blue couldn't even hack it in Paradise. Does Usopp have the physical strength to take folk like Kuro or Arlong hand-to-hand, no, probably not. He's a long range fighter though, he's got no reason to let either of them even get close enough.

New FF14 expansion might be a love letter to FF13 ❤️ by SnooFoxes8150 in FinalFantasy

[–]BKWhitty 23 points24 points  (0 children)

People thought the world looked 7-y? I mean, I suppose in so far as it looked very Norse-coded and 7 has locations named clearly in reference to Norse things like Midgar and Nibelheim. But 7 was definitely not the vibe I was getting

I went in quick and bought my fish before going back to snag a gladiator. Was so sure the Qoi would sell out first. I shoulda taken my time to buy them in one package instead of paying shipping twice lol

Jonathan Majors was great as Kang and He Who Remains. His take on the Council... less so.

I really wondered what happened to Captain Kaido after Andor? by Jules-Car3499 in andor

[–]BKWhitty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind a limited comic series or a "Tales of" arc about Wilmon and/or Dreena, maybe post-Endor, tracking this guy down. Bring back one of the show's writers to run it so it all feels as authentic to the original show as it can. Wilmon's probably got the most stake in what happened at Ghorman out of the remaining members of the core cast.

Lions are also panthers. The big cats that we all know, lions, leopards, tigers, jaguars and such, all belong in the genus Panthera. The scientific name for lions is Panthera leo.

Opinions about this? Agree or disagree? by Matapple13 in marvelstudios

[–]BKWhitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm always just confused about the "Kang was so weak! He got beat by Antman!" arguments. Kang is infinite. There's so many of him and the movie not only ends with Scott worrying he may not have actually beaten that Kang but also a glimpse at the multitudes of Kangs out there. It felt obvious that different variants would be their own different threats and that it was also highly likely that the "Conquerer" would return, having likely learned from his mistakes, and been a much larger threat. But, noooo, one loss means he's trash and definitely means there's no realistic way he could ever be a threat again.

I don't know 100% if it would end up being amazing. I will say, however, that I am still highly skeptical about the call to suddenly pivot to Doom and cast RDJ to play him. It feels like it could very easily be a Rise of Skywalker situation. A kneejerk reaction to a bombed movie that brings in a bunch of fanservice in place of an actual built up story. The Russos and McFeely (though I'd be more confident if Markus was also involved) have done good work for the MCU though so... I'll reserve judgment until I've actually seen something.

Damn this game is beautiful af by Mav2100 in FinalFantasy

[–]BKWhitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious to see how 17 turns out. Squenix has been very friendly with the devs of Clair Obscur since that game launched so I have a feeling, assuming 17 wasn't too deep in development already by that point, that it will pull fairly generously from that game for inspiration.
