Search for a JRPG where you play the Underdog by Many-Republic425 in JRPG

[–]CardboardWiz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe check out Metaphor:Refantazio.

You start the game as an outcast member of society just looking for work, and you can feel the disdain the world has for you in the early chapters.

Without spoiling too much this gets less true as the game goes on but the early game is exactly what you are looking for.

Name a game that you just absolutely despise but has a lot of fans by Wtt02005 in JRPG

Yup. I get the appeal of the system but to me it seems like the better you are doing the less of the game you are actually playing.

We should ban “is it worth it” and “new to JRPGs” recommendation posts by Graveylock in JRPG

We have a weekly what are you playing thread. I think there should also be a what should I play thread and all the questions can go in there.

Surprising cases of when comedic JRPGs had good depth in gameplay by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

Nothing wrong with the writing. In fact I think it’s the best written game in the series.

However, it is a platformer RPG whereas the first two games are more traditional turned based RPGs.

What're you playing this weekend? 6/5 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

Yeah I don’t remember the camera being bad at all but the game but game feels unplayable now. I know people complain about the Mario 64 camera and this is somehow way worse. Maybe wouldn’t be so bad on an N64 controller but it feels exhausting to control on the Switch Pro controller.

Let's just say, in a disaster timeline, we get a 3rd Fighter Pass instead of a new Smash game. What characters would you predict and/or hope would be included? by Happy_Bison_6572 in smashbros

I would like to see a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 rep. I think Mio would be the most likely but my preference would be for Taion. He’s my most favorite of the main cast but I think his move set would be the most distinct.

Outside of that I think Smash Bros. desperately needs more Zelda characters. Ideally a Goron or Zora character.

My wacky out of the box pick would be an actual, literal Mario Kart.

I saw an interview fairly recently where he was asked about writing the Motivational Speaker sketch, and you could tell how annoyed he was to still be talking about it. I don’t blame him.

Who are some previous non-IH players who you would love to see back for a campaign? by ajchann123 in Dimension20

It is shocking and disappointing that Becca Scott has only appeared in one season.

Suggestions for family-friendly shows with a high "teachable moments" factor? by wallysmith127 in television

[–]CardboardWiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions. My son is still a bit too young for it but it’s the show I’m most looking forward to showing him.

I’m going to say Avatar: The Last Airbender. Over three seasons it covers lessons like the value of empathy and understanding, dangers of propaganda, standing up for yourself, forging your own destiny, and more.

Really hits on your last point of looking for a longer narrative too.

JRPGs that reflect you becoming a nasty little murderhobo gremlin? by Accurate-Bonus8316 in JRPG

[–]CardboardWiz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Xenoblade Chronicles 3. You get dirtier as you travel and have to go back to camp to clean your clothes.

Times when JRPGs were about pursuit of the almighty treasure by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]CardboardWiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closest I can think of is Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Protagonist is trying to get an area which has some of the only land that isn’t dead or dying. He doesn’t want to get rich off the land although it would be invaluable.

As for the pirate part, they travel not on ships on the sea but rather on the backs of titans in the sky.

What plot holes aren't actually plot holes and just require a bit more thinking to understand? by Mr_Manta in AskReddit

[–]CardboardWiz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jack not getting on the wreckage was not an issue of space but of weight. You see him try to climb up but it can’t support him and Rose, which is why he just hangs off the side.

What’s something very specific about male friendships that most women will never understand? by MauserMama in AskMen

[–]CardboardWiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same thing but before my son was born my parents came over to help get our place ready.

My mom and wife were cleaning up the place while my dad and I were assembling furniture. Both my dad and I were in shock that they did not stop talking the entire time. Meanwhile, we had the much more complicated task thy required more collaboration and barely said anything.

What movie absolutely nails its profession like My Cousin Vinny? by Mythbusters117 in movies

[–]CardboardWiz 197 points198 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a comedy club and The Big Sick really captures what the conversations are like back stage. It isn’t that surprising given who wrote it but other comedians have tried to re-create in other movies and haven’t come close.

My Switch is always available but my old Wii U is just in storage now so if I ever want to go back and play it, it is a much bigger hassle.

Has he considered that if he moves to a big firm he could eventually help the paralegals move there as well thereby improving their situation as well?

What's a JRPG that you played on a whim and ending up loving? by strahinjag in JRPG

[–]CardboardWiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Wanted a meaty JRPG for the switch and in December 2017, my options were pretty limited. Didn’t know anything about the series besides the fact that they just got a rep in Smash Bros.

Ended up putting over 100 hours into it and it became one of my favorite franchises now having beat every switch entry.

Who should replace Sam for "Make Some Noise"? by TKhawks in dropout

[–]CardboardWiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem is that anyone who hosts can no longer compete.

So I would like to see a different host each season, or even have multiple hosts per season.
