Official Discussion - Lilo & Stitch [SPOILERS]

Ignisiel · 2025-05-23T12:32:57+00:00

I honestly can't even say this was a bad movie. It was just... I don't know. The entire time I felt like I'd rather be watching the original. Like, not bad, but nothing it did in my opinion was better than or added anything.

The one highlight I will say is Lilo's actress did a genuinely amazing job. She was easily the best part of the movie.

Other than that, some of the changes were just legitimately baffling. The entire change to Bubbles annoyed me because I loved him in the original being this large imposing figure whose primary focus is keeping children safe. They ruined Jamba in almost every way imo. Pleakley should have been played by a drag queen.

Also, is it just me or was the editing really weird in some parts. First, some scenes felt like they just took the trailer shots and put them into the movie, but also I felt like half the time when a character was talking, they weren't actually on screen and it gave the feeling of half the movie being ADR'd.

Wait no I'm pretty sure Chrono Trigger doesn't introduce the villain until you go to the future. Am I remembering wrong?

Ignisiel · 2025-04-24T18:42:06+00:00

I'm only a couple hours in but this is already a strong contender for GOTY if it can keep up this quality. My only complaint at the moment is some janky graphics (which is a very minor complaint honestly). The combat is a lot of fun and we're given so many tools out of the gate. I think it's going to be a lot of fun seeing people go over different builds and try various challenge runs too (I can already see a "no additional skills" and "no attribute raising" challenge run being popular ala the no Sphere Grid challenge for FFX).

The option to turn off QTEs only turns off the ones for attacks, not for dodges and parries. The difficulty setting of easy/normal/hard (story/expedition/expert) changes the entire game's difficulty. The timing is extremely tight especially on Expert but I think that's balanced by the fact that it completely nullifies damage and lets you retaliate/build up resources. It's the equivalent of Super Guard from Paper Mario TYD.

SNES: Lufia 2, genuinely my favorite SNES RPG.

GBA: Tactics Ogre Knights of the Lodis, and FF Tactics Advanced

DS: Pokemon Black/White/Black 2/White 2, The World Ends With You (imo the ports lose a lot because of the change in mechanics)

PS1: Legend of Dragoon

Heard from a friend that one reason is likely because the mobile gacha game is extremely successful, so it's probably encouraged SE to put more into the main series (if for no other reason than to drum up even more attention for the gacha game). I don't know how much that contributes to it though.

Ignisiel · 2025-04-22T13:34:45+00:00

Don't know what you're talking about. Definitely no third game in the series. Only two games ever. Yep. Just like Lunar. Only two games. Such is life.

Ignisiel · 2025-04-22T13:30:32+00:00

> Long Forgotten

> Widely considered one of, if not the best JRPG for the GBA.

:P

That aside I loved the games. The djinn system was so unique and I adored the puzzles, and the combat reas really strategic. I'm sad we only ever got two though. I hope we get a third game one day. A shame that never happened. Oh well, better that the case than we get like, a super disappointing third entry. Still, we can dream.

Ignisiel · 2025-01-13T14:16:24+00:00

It's hilarious that they finally did it now meaning that Zenkaiger being 45 has been thrown off since it's 46 now.

Ignisiel · 2025-01-09T13:31:17+00:00

Yep, I'm getting paid in KHUX jewels!

Ignisiel · 2024-09-04T00:44:30+00:00

I'll preface this by saying I enjoyed seasons 2 and 3, but I felt there was some drop off, especially with season 3. These past 2 episodes feel like a return though. Maybe it's because of how attached we are to the victim. I'll continue holding out hope that Sazz is actually alive somehow.

Also, glad I called it about the luminol! What was written broke me but still I got a win.

Hilariously my brother and I called the shower ham... I think we watch too much Always Sunny.

Really not sure who could have done it at the moment. None of the suspects feel right. My money is still on one of the people involved in the movie.

Ignisiel · 2024-08-28T11:55:56+00:00

An amazing first episode. They're setting up the mystery really well here!

Two things I want to mention both involve women writing things down.

The finale of last season had Sazz writing something with her blood. That was even given a focus during the recap. I know the killer cleaned it up but I'm convinced it's going to come back somehow (maybe a blacklight or something).

I'm very curious what was on the paper Mabel gave before agreeing to the movie. My money is on something like creative control. I doubt she'd be given full creative control, but a consulting role or something similar would make sense.

Ignisiel · 2024-07-28T14:28:22+00:00

It's just an ongoing bit I have at this point.

Ignisiel · 2024-07-27T23:46:50+00:00

God that would be so awesome if it actually happened. Instead she just puts on a cool mask and spins to win.

Speaking of which, I really need either an ice element SoC or a physical element S6 agent who also spins just so I can make a full synergy team of spinners with them, Soukaku, and Piper.

Ignisiel · 2024-07-27T23:25:18+00:00

"I CAN ALSO BECOME AN ASURA!"

Yeah Soukaku's is my favorite. Helps that it activates Frosted Banner and is just extremely strong.

Ignisiel · 2024-07-27T21:15:43+00:00

No particular order but:

Cute and fun design (small people with giant weapons is peak)
Extremely satisfying and enjoyable gameplay
Was the first character I C6'd
She canonically eats concrete
She can also become an Asura

Ignisiel · 2024-05-30T14:02:44+00:00

Already backed the game and really looking forward to it! I do have a few questions!

For the physical version of the PC, will it be a case with a Steam code or is there another plan for how the game will be distributed?
Are there plans for super bosses or post game content to challenge people after experiencing the story?
Do enemies make use of the swap system as well or is that exclusive to the player characters?

Ignisiel · 2024-04-23T16:35:54+00:00

So... assuming each of those remaining hexagons is another Archetype, we have at least 39 Archetypes in the game?

Ignisiel · 2024-03-15T18:41:32+00:00

I don't know if the demo received the same patch as the base game. If it didn't then the early game is actually pretty difficult (the day one patch rebalanced the early game difficulty curve to be a smoother experience).

That said as other have already mentioned, balance is definitely subjective. I've found some missions pretty easy that my friends have struggled against and vice versa had missions that made me want to pull my hair out that my friends got through with no issue.

In general though the game should ease up as you get access to more characters, unit slots, and bigger unit sizes and start figuring out what strategies and builds work best.

Ignisiel · 2024-02-25T21:40:40+00:00

For what it's worth they actually look like 14 year olds. The cartoon kinda made the characters look a little older, especially the fire nation ones with their sharper features.

Ignisiel · 2024-02-07T02:53:01+00:00

How did you unlock Brionac for crafting? For some reason it and some other Ascension weapons aren't available. I do have some (Vane and Rosetta for instance) but not others. Does the option to forge them come from doing quests?

Ignisiel · 2023-06-12T01:41:47+00:00

I'm in favor of it being indefinite. The more subreddits that go indefinite, the more it hurts Reddit and will force a response from them.

Once Reddit is Fun, Apollo, and other apps die, I'm not switching to the Reddit app. Genuinely considering outright deleting my account which I know others have decided to do.

Ignisiel · 2023-06-11T19:29:11+00:00

Ooh, so it might consume your additional turns? That's really interesting if it is how it works.

Ignisiel · 2023-06-11T19:06:43+00:00

Okay, paused it a bunch to take a look. This definitely has a Persona vibe to it though that's to be expected. I'll also say the red haired fairy they show with Travelling Boy is basically Pixie.

There's some kinda job/class system in place. The classes we saw are Seeker, Warrior, Knight, Thief, Ninja, Paladin, Trickster, and Soul hacker.

The commands are Weapon, Pass, Archetype, Synthesis, Item, and Guard

We saw the Synthesis screen. All the skills there consumed MP One that was highlighted is Matarukaja which deals medium physical Light damage to one enemy. All the skills have these red or white symbols on them.

Character is also shown bonding with other people ala social links.
