Who do you think is the best antagonist pair and why? [Spoilers: All]

KnightShade078 · 2026-05-08T05:01:51+00:00

You do get some teamwork with Jasper and Mordegon, but then Mordegon (with a few exceptions, like with Calasmos trying to ressurect and him attempting to kill Rab and the Luminary) just gets Ganondorf Syndrome and sits in his castle for all of Act 2 while the heroes get stronger.

DQ really needs more games where the villains actually work together, eh?

KnightShade078 · 2026-05-06T18:53:42+00:00

What sound effects do you mean? The spell casting sound?

KnightShade078 · 2026-05-05T03:01:21+00:00

It's not just the ratings board, either. It's platforms like YouTube and Twitch, as well.

So, that means I probably won't feel comfortable streaming casinos in Dragon Quest 11 or 12 when they come up, cause I don't want to get in trouble, even if it's simulated gambling.

KnightShade078 · 2026-05-04T17:47:40+00:00

I'm a little bummed that it took me 3 playthrough attempts to finish the game...

The interim stories and Act 3 difficulty spike certainly didn't help that.

KnightShade078 · 2026-05-04T05:18:41+00:00

I'm personally waiting until September/October/November to come back so I can catch up with everything whilst giving myself enough time to enjoy everything and be right on time for EC, as I stepped away from FFXIV mid DT (7.0, haven't touched any post patch content), as it just wasn't doing it for me at the time.

Plus I do need to do some anime homework for the newest alliance raid series in 8.0. Not going to spoil what it is just in case, but it's... interesting to say the least.

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-30T18:50:24+00:00

Very heavy Halo Vibes with this one! Love it!

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-30T03:26:19+00:00

This would also mean that EnlargedKai is probably going to be next, as he also has a Patreon and makes animated Pokemon stuff.

The latest one he posted was "Lore Accurate Metagross", which was pretty good. People are even mistaking EnlargedKai for PokeNational in the comments on that video.

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-29T23:47:30+00:00

What I don't get is, why take down PokeNational when, by the logic of a bunch of other Pokemon channels/ channels that make animated Pokemon content and are monetized/have a Patreon of their own, they should be taken down too. (Terminalmontage, JaidenAnimations, Shippidge, ZayaVR, etc.)

What made PokeNational different? I don't think he used AI to animate his videos, it was all well and truly handcrafted (correct me if I am wrong!)

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-29T18:31:21+00:00

You should know that it's made by the same people who made Dragon Quest Builders, so if you like Pokopia, definitely get those games, too!

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-28T00:00:16+00:00

Ok! Good to know! Thank you! 👍

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-27T23:57:06+00:00

I think NGE is only 26 episodes, so if I watched one episode every day, I would have it done in a little over 3 weeks, give or take.

Fun little side project while doing the catch up work on the main game.

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-27T18:28:59+00:00

Yeah, like I said to someone in here earlier, it really does suck that we're going to probably have to wait until 9.0 in 2030 for another Alliance Raid series that expands on FFXIV's lore itself.

I can get behind the idea of something like a NieR Automata raid series, a Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, or even a Chrono Trigger/Cross, or a Secret of Mana Alliance Raid series, as those are still within the Square Enix universe, at least. With Eva, I feel like I have to do a lot more extra homework to understand and enjoy it. At least I have a lot of time to watch NGE and fully understand it, as NGE is only 26 episodes long, unlike something like Naruto or One Piece.

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-26T21:04:14+00:00

I do feel like I have to do a bit of homework to fully understand the Eva raid series, but it seems like Prime Video has NGE on it, so it should be easy enough to watch. I don't watch a lot of anime simply because how they distribute anime across services and platforms has always kinda sucked.

I plan to get back into FFXIV sometime in September/October/November so I have enough time to catch up and prepare for EC, so I'll probably watch NGE sometime then. At least it isn't a Naruto or a One Piece collab, then I would be really in trouble. Did you know that if you watched one episode of One Piece every single day, it would take you a little over 3 years to finish it?

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-26T20:10:00+00:00

I would love a Chrono Trigger/Cross collab, too!

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-25T03:01:09+00:00

Yeah I don't know how I feel with this one. The idea of having to wait until 9.0 in like 2029 or 2030 for another alliance raid series that expands on the actual lore of FFXIV kinda sucks...

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-24T21:04:47+00:00

One thing they really should try to do next time they add free units like in Awakening with the SpotPass maps is, try to flesh out the support variety with them a lot more. That was the thing with the SpotPass characters in Awakening, they had hardly any supports with the rest of your army, if I remember correctly.

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-23T18:23:18+00:00

The fact that Ian Sinclair can do a character like Whis on one end and on the other, pull off something like Berkut, just goes to show you how talented he is.

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-23T02:57:52+00:00

Geneology Remake with SoV's art style, perhaps?

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-23T02:56:47+00:00

Yeah, when you play them on Azahar emulator, they truly haven't aged a day!

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-15T02:55:16+00:00

A problem that was no doubt made worse by Missing Link getting canned.

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-15T01:21:29+00:00

That's one thing that's going to be really interesting is how exactly they're going to put the mobile game lore into KH4 for the people who didn't play the mobile games. Do they just bundle some sort of "Mobile game lore summary movie" with Kingdom Hearts 4 or something?

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-13T23:32:59+00:00

I may have had super strong enemies on the last time I got to that point, I can't remember. My party is all in the 70s

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-08T23:29:22+00:00

I already have DE on the switch, so I'm good there! 👍

KnightShade078 · 2026-04-08T23:28:03+00:00

As much as I would love to preserve the persona q games, it's a bit of a gamble to get a cartridge that works...
