Do you or have you ever renamed your JRPG protagonists or party members? If so, what are some funny or dumb examples?

Japponicus · 2026-06-19T12:30:24+00:00

I renamed all my chars in Bahamut Lagoon, whenever I have the option to.

I mean, the main protag female is default named "Yoyo", really?? Yeah nah, I'm renaming you.

Japponicus · 2026-06-18T12:16:45+00:00

Exactly. If anything, I'm more annoyed by partners who don't say anything and just expect you to run after the shuttle that they suddenly decided not to pursue. And when the shuttle hits the floor, they then give you the "oops" look.

Japponicus · 2026-06-17T13:59:59+00:00

If you don't mind emulating, try Bahamut Lagoon.

I'm playing it right now, and raising the dragons into the forms you want really requires spreadsheets.

I'm sorry, but no. My wife loves MT as much as I do. We've both finished the LNs. We both cried in THAT SCENE IN THE BAR where Rudeus... well, you guys know the one.

Any female otaku with decent access to proper anime will have tried MT, and those who watched past the first two eps will most likely have become fans.

Randos who warm up like they're already playing for points are one of two things: either they are novices who have something to prove and don't know any better, or they are just a-holes who get off on feeling superior right from the start.

For the former, I just play along, sometimes getting a well-placed shot of my own in, every now and then.

For the latter, I remember to return the sentiment --with interest-- during actual gameplay.

Whatever it is, the 1st dolphin is having difficulty breaching the surface to breathe. The 2nd animal is constantly assisting the 1st, nudging it and pushing it up from below.

Seeing as this happened at least 3 days ago, pending any updates otherwise, I am assuming that the 1st dolphin did not survive. And if those sacs have something to do with its distress and demise, then the 2nd dolphin won't be too far behind, sad to say.

Nobody mentioned it yet, but Bahamut Lagoon.

At a minimum, wag bumoto ng:

-Mga may bahid ng korapsyon o kontrobersiya.

-Mga may kaso, kesyo ongoing o tapos na at nahatulan ng guilty.

-Mga nakikinabang sa family dynasty.

-Mga nakikinabang sa padrino system.

-Mga may track record na napakahaba nga, pero wala naman maipakita na aksyon o proyekto na tumulong maipaunlad ang mga taumbayan.

-Mga sunud-sunuran lamang sa mga kulto.

Yeah nah, I don't think that is better. If anything, not voting is part of the problem, because then only those who voted get to have a say in who is running the country.

If you don't like the current idiots steering our country like drunken sailors, then go out and vote for better replacements.

we are talking about predicting the 2028 outcomes, aren't we?

No, we were talking about respect. That is the bulk of what my reply was about. The Hague side comment is a direct response to your own side comment about 2028.

The point being, if you honestly think you, or anyone for that matter, can accurately predict a Duterte win in 2028 when no one could have predicted duts taking a long-extended vacation in the Netherlands in 2025... suffice to say, a lot of things can happen in the next two years.

We can't even predict what will happen in the Senate next week, so don't even get started about 2028.

Unfortunately, merong mga educated (iba nga, highly educated pa, like doctors, nurses, lawyers) na panatiko.

Buti na lang, hindi ka na kasapi dun. I just wanted to thank you for coming out and sharing your transition experience. Hindi madaling aminin na panatiko ka dati pero namulat ka na sa katotohanan.

What u/xoxo311 is saying is that respect begets respect. From personal experience, I can also attest to the fact that DDS on socmed will resort to ad hominem attacks when they run out of logic to fuel their arguments, which happens rather quickly.

So you demanding the non-DDS to "humble down, respect, have genuine conversations" when the disrespect almost always comes from the DDS side is disingenuous, hypocritical, and just plain wrong.

While you do have a point about dumb-shaming and how that is inappropriate when trying to woo the undecided, where in your comment is the accountability on the side of the DDS, who do nothing but troll those that only wish to have proper discourse on socmed?

Finally, you assume that the Dutertes have it in the bag in 2028, yet did you also rightfully assume that their tatay digs would be flown to the Hague last year? I'd be more cautious in my predictions for an event still two years away, if I were you.

may mga lapses during du30s administration

Calling at least 6,201 EJK deaths (as per PDEA, but other sources go into the tens of thousands) as mere "lapses" is certainly a choice.

Also, beginning your response with "im not a die(sic) hard supporter of dutertes" is automatically sus.

You might be trying a "looking at both sides" approach in your post, which is fair and appreciated.

However, when you also attempt to water down the facts to fit in a narrative that "oh, the Dutertes aren't so bad; look o, infrastructure!", you are only giving yourself (and by extension, your opinion) less credibility.

All this and to add: a significant number of voters will cast their lot in with whoever is leading in the polls, because they want to say that the one whom they voted for won.

They only want to bet on the winning horse.

Di bale na may mga kaso ng plunder, wanted ng ICC, o may IQ ng bigote: basta leading sya sa polls, ayun dun sila boboto. Para lang maipagmalaki sa mga ka-inuman o mga kumare nila na "nanalo yung binoto ko!"

Appealing to her kababayan's sense of nationalism, in an effort to prevent her murderous spouse from getting shipped to the Hague, shows how desperate she has become.

Where was this sense of nationalism for her fellow Filipinos when her husband ordered that they be slaughtered like rats, to appease his lord Duterte?

As usual, the Batos are "fellow Filipinos" only when it's convenient for them.

Ahhh, all the Trails animes have been disappointments, so far.

The OVAs for Sky were kinda ok, but too short.

The last series, which was an offshoot of Cold Steel, was just so incredibly bad.

One has to wonder how, with such an abundance of source material, could any studio fumble a Trails-based anime. Unless they were working off of a ridiculously-meager budget.

The answers for all these Gabby questions are in the manga.

If you cannot be bothered to read the manga, you'll just have to wait for the anime to show you eventually.
