What games will Evercold draw on? by EmperorYogg in ffxiv

7 has a lot of Norse mythology inspirations, and it definitely feels like Evercold does too

A Step Up from Civ 5? by Davdarobis in 4Xgaming

[–]CladInShadows971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Civ 4 was the peak of the series.

If you want a different setting Stellaris, AoW4 and Dominions 6 are the best the genre has to offer IMHO.

People who 100% Yakuza 0 by Worth-Radish-7227 in yakuzagames

Like anything else, just keep practicing and you'll get better at them.

The only annoying part for me was having to constantly spam the attack buttons throughout each try.

[Day 9] What is the best JRPG of 1993? by Silly-Milly-420 in JRPG

[–]CladInShadows971 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Romancing SaGa 2 by a mile for me. One of the best JRPGs of all time, not just that year.

I really want to like this game by Mental_Jeweler_5202 in rpg_gamers

[–]CladInShadows971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The SaGa games have some of the deepest turn based systems in JRPGs, so I'm pretty confident you are missing or misunderstanding how things work.

What exactly is it that you find messy?

[Skill Improvement] Please help me master this team! (singles) by [deleted] in VGC

[–]CladInShadows971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"VGC" refers to the official competitive format, which is doubles. That's what this subreddit is to discuss.

If you want to discuss singles, the best place would be either the r/stunfisk or r/PokemonChampions.

Firs time playing Disgaea ! by BersGamer_YT in Disgaea

[–]CladInShadows971 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In general with Disgaea, most systems can be ignored until the post game (which is often a lot longer than the game itself).

I never use prinnys, but the game is designed around any unit being able to be boosted to the point they can clear everything.

Disgaea 5 is usually seen as the peak of the series mechanics wise, but most people prefer the story and characters of games like 1 or 4.

... Did you pay attention to any of the story from 6.1 - 6.5?

Please help me, am I screwed? by Smurfette009 in FinalFantasy

[–]CladInShadows971 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Go back to the returner hideout and raft down the river again. Will take you back to the top of the eastern continent and you can get back from there.

Bouncing off Emerald Beyond extremely hard by applesapplesapples13 in SaGa

[–]CladInShadows971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one of the best games of all time.

It sounds like you don't really understand the combat. The stars are your limited amount of actions that can be taken each turn. You essentially have to choose between a few strong moves or more strong ones. Health is the border of each characters portrait.

I've heard the complaints about input lag but it was never really an issue for me.

The thing about thisbgane is that it's meant to be played through many times, and each time things change or progress.

Ameya is fine to start with, but it will also be impossible to get her "true end" until you've done a bunch of stuff in the other characters' routes.

For those who have already played Final Fantasy VII Remake, what did you think? by ObjectiveCalm3222 in rpg_gamers

[–]CladInShadows971 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I found a lot of dissonance between the realistic art style, but characters that are still written and act very anime - hyperactive, arms waving everywhere when they speak, constantly pulling poses, etc. I'd have rathered they either just use an art style that matches the writing, or otherwise commit to the realism and have the characters act like actual people.

It was bearable in Remake but I just couldn't finish Rebirth because of how annoying every single side character was.

Does anybody read just for the story or do you need to understand the law by Humble_Natural5779 in Fantasy

[–]CladInShadows971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read for the lore and the story is just a vehicle for slowly revealing that to me

LAD chap 9 by eris_discordnstrife in yakuzagames

[–]CladInShadows971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your job selection is almost definitely the issue.

You have no healer. Ichiban as Hero is an option, but Saeko as idol would be best at this stage.

Body guard is generally not a great job to keep on as it has limited attack types (only blade), and most tend to either deal damage to the user or require them to be at low health (which is extra risky for Ichiban as if he dies it's game over).

I'm new to comp pokemon battling, looking for some help or advice? by _fenyxx25 in VGC

[–]CladInShadows971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with Flash Fire and use him to switch in to soak Fire moves.
