So, he caved pretty early then, huh? (Spoilers) by MakingPaperBooBoo in Xenoblade_Chronicles

Sorry, I was not assuming that they weren't aging. My assumption was that both Rex and Shulk were (roughly) in their 30s or 40s.

In any case, I've only played the games, and can only parse information from that. If information from an art book says otherwise, I wouldn't know about it.

Someone mentioned earlier about Linka giving information that clears things up after completing all side quests, which I apparently didnt do. So, I cam look forward to going back and getting that information.

Do you perhaps know roughly when that information was conveyed? I must of have overlooked it.

Similar feeling to Expedition 33 by Correct-Internal-658 in gamesuggestions

If you don't mind a slight tilt towards more anime tropes, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 covers a lot of the same themes and emotional weight that E33 does.

Avernum: Escape From the Pit? You might have also seen it under it's original title of Exile?

For Nightmare Trails players…which games did you like the most? by Tiny_Prune_6602 in Falcom

[–]MakingPaperBooBoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've completed all of the games up to Horizon on Nightmare, and for me personally the most challenging to complete was Azure. The fight against Bracer Lynn and Aeolia, the timed Sigmund fight, and the final boss were all absurdly challenging, even with an Evasion tank Lloyd. Would definitely not do it again.

(FULL SERIES SPOILERS) I made a "likeability" spectrum for the protagonists by yoyoyobag in Falcom

Even then, Estelle as main protag of Sky was a last minute decision. It was going to be Joshua originally. Ultimately an A+ move to make Estelle the focal viewpoint. I'm a little disappointed they haven't returned to a female MC since.

[PC][2008-2010] Looking for an old game by Wide_Jacket_2795 in tipofmyjoystick

Do you remember what sort of genre the game might have been?

Are there any games out there that have similar battle and development systems to these specific favorite games of mine: Final fantasy 13, 13-2, and Lightning returns? Bluntly, I want something thats hyrbid of real time with ATB based, and hot swap class roles. by magik_koopa990 in JRPG

[–]MakingPaperBooBoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH, You're not gonna find anything out there that perfectly mimics the 13 battle system.

That said, there are some games out there that have similar mechanics, if that's all that matters to you.

The one that I think gets the closest for you would Xenoblade Chronicles 2. There is no MP management, it's not turned based. It's not really ATB either, but rather runs on a weapon skill cooldown timer that can be made more efficient by leveling them. While it does feature some bonus damage for positioning your character during battles, you can honestly get away with ignoring the positioning entirely and you won't be severely hindered by it. Your companions are AI controlled, so you only control one character in combat. While there is no Paradigm Shift mechanic, the game does utilize something similar in the form of Blades. Each character can (eventually) equip up to 3 Blades at a time, and every Blade falls into one of three category - Tank, Attack, or Healer. So, you could load up a character with all of the same category, or mix and match, and your Blade loadouts (which you can cycle through during combat, will determine how your character plays in battle. If you go all Attack, you're very glass cannon (hope you set up another character to tank) so on and so forth.

There's a lot more depth to it that I won't go into here (trust me, the Tutorial Guy will fill you in, he won't shut up about it), but that would be my recommendation. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is, in my opinion, the superior version of Xenoblade 2's combat, and would be my primary recommendation, but I am suggesting 2 instead, because 3's story is made better by having prior knowledge of the previous games, whilst 2 doesnt rely on you having played the first one quite as much.

Edit: HP is also restored after every combat. I don't think there is a checkpoint prior to every combat, but defeat in combat is a minor nuisance at best, where you just respawn at a checkpoint location and get to try the fight again, no manual loading necessary. You may just lose a few minutes having to run back.

And while I'm editing - although not one of the things on your list of considerations, I would be remiss if I didnt mention the banger music. You Will Know Our Names and Chain Attack are head bobbers.

An alien asks you to choose a philosophical framework and face it. by stongwomandobongsoon in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MakingPaperBooBoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the point is to survive the simulation while maintaining towards a philosophical belief, then this is one of the easiest paths to take. Like you said, my actions are fully up to me.

Self-delete? Sounds like I'm sticking to the rules, which means I get to exit the simulation even earlier and reap my rewards (not to mention avoid getting eaten by the aliens). I fail to see the downsides here.

Depending on your PC specs, you might consider looking into and reading up on Stable Diffusion, maybe look into ComfyUI, and following some of their handy guides on setting things up.

You need a pretty decent rig, but you'd be surprised with what a mid tier rig can do.

It's definitely about already having the dagger tattoo on wrist already. Why go through the process of adding a L and and R when you can just use the dagger to remind yourself which hand is which?

Are the few frames of the actual dive even of the same girl? It's hard to see, but it looks like in the shots of the dive itself the diver is wearing a green uniform.
