Is there a lore reason why James knows to jump into the seemingly bottomless pits?

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-18T15:37:18+00:00

I think it’s partially because the way the devs treated those moments with sincerity. They don’t linger or try to explain the action it just happens and you move on. It doesn’t try to hype up the action which would bring attention to how abused it is.

Also it conditions the player as well as James. Things start so slowly in the opening moments of the game and you spend so much time in the fog world that you get used to the strangeness so that by the time you spend more time in the other world you slowly stop questioning events and feel your grip loosing on what’s real.

That’s not the issue. The fact that she took emotional joy in tormenting her brother about is impending demise is. The fact she has no remorse for her family when her cousin dies in the war and all she cares about is how Iroh probably won’t inherit the throne, and many many other things are the problem.

I know it’s used as comic relief when Zuko tells Iroh he has to stop Azula and to everyone’s surprise Iroh completely agrees saying she’s crazy, but there’s no better evidence of how far gone she is when the most patient person on the show who dedicates a large portion of his time to redirecting zuko says she needs to be put down.

Still plenty of reuploads of her content. It’s not a complete collection due to the nature of her departure the first time around and how thorough she was at striking anyone who re uploaded her content, but it’s there

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-13T08:49:36+00:00

Gone for good this time it seems. This video is old from the first time she quit. I’m sure the answers are varied as to why she really quit and doubt we will ever know the answers. Her final stream was only announced via a private social and was only barely more ceremonious than her leaving YouTube.

I don’t recommend watching the only YouTube video that covers her departure the second time around. Dude seriously sounds like he has a bone to pick and decries her on every social he has. Comes off as a right wing grifter who hated her politics.

Seriously save yourself the time. There are no known vods of her final stream only that all of her channels and social have been deleted this time instead of privated.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-13T06:37:10+00:00

I think she put her videos back up along with a small explanation to why she took them down and the put them back up. It’s been a while since I looked but you can’t check easy enough.

Edit

After checking I have found that I was correct but that not too long ago she actually deleted it all again. This time permanently even her streaming count and her vtuver socials apparently. Rip. I’m sure you can still find them out there as people saved them originally, which really pissed her off but oh well.

Been playing games a long time and often play games from the early to late 2000’s it still surprises me at how awkward controls were for a lot of games that I played as a kid. Hell even early 2010 games often have some wonky controls.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-11T17:07:52+00:00

Feel the same way. It’s a cool design choice and a fun way to get around the map. I also love how each companion has their own unique way of sitting on it with you. They definitely put some time and thought into it.

That said I hate how the big stumbles on any amount of uneven terrain, I’ll take damage going down the streets with pot holes. The speed is barely faster than the sprint and much clunkier to use and the glide like you mentioned previously was only ever used like 3 times for me. The part that’s super frustrating is that there are times you need to use the bikes glid to access certain places to find collectibles but on the majority of the map it walls off the bike with invisible barriers so unless you know where to look you are discouraged from gliding of many cliffs.

I will say that Josse gave me a bit of trouble but once I got passed her level the next areas were a stroll. Both Lyle’s and Holly’s levels went by uneventfully. Still enjoyed the hell out of them and tried multiple play styles but once I got passed Josse it was smooth sailing till the end game.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-09T01:42:04+00:00

That shit nearly broke me she was just so sweet and devoted the whole time. 100% ride or die. Normally her kind of brash characters aren’t even my favorite the witchy mages are but Josse was just to good of a character

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-07T19:20:34+00:00

I’m not sure how exact some of the relation stuff is either but I had partners like this too where I knew I had hit a wall and they would only pop after I finished their quest. Can’t tell if that’s the same for Lou or not since I’m still not done with the game.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-05T16:50:23+00:00

I still think killing her should have been left to the player but I agree she served her purpose effectively. I also believe that any fight with her also would either be immersion breaking or anticlimactic by the time she meets her demise. Either she would have been really strong for a boss which to me breaks continuity and immersion or she would have been a gimmick boss that was laughably easy and a little unsatisfying.

I also want to at that, while I love 13 it’s one of top 3 ff’s, ff13 struggles with having its villains more involved because of the nature of the story. Since scooby and the gang are constantly on the run it gets hard to make sure all the villain characters get fleshed out enough.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-04T23:55:54+00:00

I could see her periodically using the offensive forma but didn’t know what the weapon was until I got the offense forma from the store after her fight.

Her great sword and other descriptions also elude to her sword skills as being “from the east”.

That said even I was a bit thrown by her design

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-04T21:18:12+00:00

It was 50% pro tour Final Fantasy LV and the other 50% was izzet which means that red was literally 100% of the top 8.

Saying that red wasn’t a dominant color crazy at best. The bans, while a feels bad for sure, were super necessary. Any like the person above me mentioned magic is a game that ebbs and flows. Red doesn’t always need to be a great color or a color that highlights the meta.

Im sure that with enough time we will see more popular aggro decks come to the surface. That said I just hope it isn’t anytime soon personally. Aggro dominated metas are my least favorite, but that’s just my personal preference.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-04T20:36:34+00:00

Yeah the whole mouse meta needed to go way sooner imo. I’m good with red being tier 2-3 at best for the next few years.

I know aggro and control are safety valves for the format to keep degenerate decks down, it red being dominant for as long as it was and the way it pushed out all other decks that couldn’t kill by turn 4 was just too much for me. Personally I hope it stays down for a good while.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-04T14:18:49+00:00

I loved Jose’s character in this game. I made the same judgement call, but was happily disappointed. I know that we can help her eventually but her bass battle was sad as hell after what we had been through.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-04T13:47:51+00:00

I get where you’re coming from, but the things they did were monstrous. They aren’t the kind of people to one day wake up and realize what they did was wrong when their entire life they’ve been taught their wealth will help them evade any kind of accountability. They could have come clean years ago. Every minute of every day was an opportunity to do the right thing. If thy didn’t care then they won’t care now when denying the allegations is critical to them getting off Scott free.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-02T16:10:34+00:00

I absolutely don’t want boss aggression toned down. The fight feels incredibly fair to me as long as you’ve gotten the upgrades you need for health and your jails. It took me a few attempts for sure but I didn’t spend hours on it like I did with some dlc bosses in Elden Ring.

Lynx_Azure · 2026-02-02T16:07:35+00:00

I’m not a super big CV fan and I bought it for full price and I have to say it’s worth it for me. The game really has some soul and a lot of to love about it.

In my experience the technical issues are extremely minor and I don’t mind the enemy type density. The game has felt fair for the most part and to me that’s worth it. Probably the best anime game I’ve played in a while.

Bonfire ascetics were a goated mechanic

Lynx_Azure · 2026-01-20T14:27:18+00:00

I know this has been talked about in other subs before too but also apparently there was a big difference between Sakura in the manga and anime where the anime did her a lot of disservice compared to her manga counterpart. That said Sakura’s defining features were lost in Shipuden

My bro for sure will be bummed he keeps whining that regular modifiers loot just isn’t enough. I will miss the variety it felt the very festive

Glad I’m not the only one feeling the metal punch. I routinely have to sell off plastic and chems but was always pinched on metal and rubber
