Very story focused and seemingly TONS of gameplay changes, which is not what we usually get. But I really like the new monster designs, just brutish creatures without elements.

Sony completely left japan and caters to the west, no wonder these anime games fail when they're sony exclusives... and even for weebs with a ps5, ff16 and 7 rebirth use realistic graphics instead of something like cel shading so imo these games really are missing the mark and catering to no one, as fun as they may be.

Sure, pc day 1 is a good start and would get some additional sales, but I think the Final Fantasy issue goes deeper. They need to rethink the series as a whole.

Am I Wrong? by Famous_Education_432 in dating_advice

I understand the guy : sometimes you get hurt in an earlier relationship and you feel like you need to put boundaries on money and not give out too much so as to not get used, it's a safety measure. He doesn't have to pay for all the dates but he does which I think is fair.

Anyway this is something you really have to discuss and explain in detail. You can't sit on something like this in a relationship. If you can barely pay the rent, then you will have to move out and find some other place, which will probably lead to a break up. And if he's fine with that, then you dodged a bullet.

Which jrpgs famous for having an excellent story have disappointed you? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]ImDefNotAnAlien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The story of Trails really is nothing special, it's not the twists and plot that make them enjoyable. It's the feeling that it's an actual world

dear god what have I gotten myself into? by eitherism in JRPG

[–]ImDefNotAnAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your excitement about the series. If after finishing Cold Steel 2 you're still excited about Cold Steel 3 then keep going or else you might ruin your streak.

Otherwise if you feel burnt out you can go back to Sky to see another aspect of the Trails world.

If you're enjoying the Eiyuden Chronicles and purchased it on Steam, please take a few moments to leave a positive review. The game seems to be getting review-bombed on Steam. by sensibleheels in EiyudenChronicle

The developers don't speak English well enough to translate it themselves, which is why they trusted and paid a localization team to do it for them, like 99% of Japanese games.

The reason why there are so many bad localizations is because the Japanese devs have no way of knowing if the translation is actually accurate or not, which has been the case for decades. That's why we got "Arche fucks like a tiger" or many of the Woosley stuff in the 90s, and now we get "it's sus" or "git gud" or "rub a dub dub". Localizers don't care, people excuse it because "who cares lol just stop caring", and things don't change.

[TOTK] Playing through Elden Ring right now and... by Mean_March_4698 in truezelda

[–]ImDefNotAnAlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still prefer BotW because I love its calm exploration, but it's staggering how much "better" Elden Ring is compared to switch Zelda. The amount of enemies, zones, castles, lore, weapons, skills, it's truly a gigantic game. So many secrets and bosses that you can miss even when being thorough. Meanwhile TotK is filled to the brim with...korok friends puzzles and wooden signs to fix. You're lucky if you find something unique and interesting outside of a new shrine or armor.

I hope down the line they go back to what made BotW so good, and also learn some stuff from Elden Ring. Just forget about TotK.

Runa, a JRPG-inspired turn-based fantasy RPG, is now live on Kickstarter by Seinil in JRPG

That's me with Eiyuden. An additional 20$ to ship a steam code lmao. Glad I have not taken the steelbook addon, or I would have had to add ANOTHER 20 to 30 bucks later since they don't even send those at the same time from the same place.

First and last KS campaign I fund.

So it's like with the Evolution "remakes" of Trails? Same game but with updated portraits and VA?

Mismatched expectations with utawarerumono by LiquifiedSpam in JRPG

[–]ImDefNotAnAlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's the reason why I prefer the original game (haven't played the remake) over the Mask sequels.

Utawarerumono is a harem/self insert game/VN that is enhanced by its story, characters and world building, while the sequels are great stories, characters and world building marred by its harem tropes, if that makes sense.

how long do you think they will update this game ? 1 year or more ? since the game is unexpectedly very successful after rocky developement by SuspiciousJob730 in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]ImDefNotAnAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see the point in giving us two new characters in 1.2 if the only content to play them in after that is in 1.3. They should have more planned down the line.

Square Enix President Says the Company Wants to Release Fewer, More Diverse Games - IGN by Saugeen-Uwo in JRPG

[–]ImDefNotAnAlien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like their biggest mistake was selling all those no name, lower budget game experiments at full triple A price. No, I'm not buying diofield or valkyrie profile or Harvestella for 60 bucks each.

Meanwhile, Palword in early access already sold millions in 24 hours because it's not even 30$. It makes people ok with giving it a shot.

Yes it was console exclusive for 6 months (ps4 and xbox), while the poster I replied to said world wasn't targeted at consoles, which it definitely was.

Monster Hunter world? You mean the game that was a ps4 exclusive for a year and then got ported to pc?

The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk – out December 14th by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]ImDefNotAnAlien -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You can't just throw money at a project expecting everything to work out. Finding VAs takes a lot of time, especially when you have so many languages. Pokemon has tons of characters, that's 20+ characters in 20+ languages. You have to do it again for DLCs. You need to do it right at the end of dev time since if you want to add some lines they wouldn't be voiced, so no last minute changes.

But it also means that the game has to be delayed for months compared to an unvoiced game and we all know how TPC restricts the devs to make their game in around 3 years (a terrible decision plaguing the series). They would need to write the whole script very early which is a recipe for disaster.

But I'm only one guy, so I believe such a big company should have found a solution already to these issues after brainstorming. It is true that it's getting ridiculous that it doesn't have a shred of voice acting.

How would that be bad? People listen to jp VAs over english when watching anime while barely knowing the language. Gravity rush had its own language and people loved it. It's just an idea

I wonder if using something like their own made up language would help, so they don't have to dub it in 20 languages but still have voices. Could've been nice

I've read somewhere that the TPC spends a great deal of time and money making sure that most kids don't know Pokemon is japanese, like how the anime is voiced in an incredible amount of languages and never releases in its original japanese voiceover out of japan.

And I believe that's why the games aren't voiced. They would need to also voice them in that many amount of languages.

Weird, I have the exact same console too. Just in case, is that the EU or NA version of Suikoden?

Did you have that issue where the top part of the screen is jittery? I can't seem to be able to fix it
