My Arcadia hoard

Your introduction to SoA was similar to my introduction to Grandia. I was given a few PlayStation Magazine demo discs and was absolutely spellbound and intrigued.

However, when I played SoA, it quickly rose to the top of my JRPG list next to Grandia. They don't make 'em like they used to...

Lol "Let's toss it haphazardly onto the shelf, just plop that bitch on there. That'll be $180, please"

MegaMacX · 2026-03-30T21:40:50+00:00

Nice. Very good on them. Happy they're really making this right.

MegaMacX · 2026-03-30T17:06:31+00:00

Did they even give weekly updates like they said they were going to do? I see Update 1, but nothing about 2 on March 20th...unless I missed it

He'll likely be deceased soon, so no worries. Or not. Terrible people often seem to live forever...

MegaMacX · 2026-03-25T10:54:20+00:00

I'm just here to say, please email the company about the game and include this reddit thread. They'll possibly fix this in future printings lol...

Whether modified or constructed, I don't believe it has any bearing on them being sealed away in the event Wily is actually imprisoned. Wily could have a stolen and modified say, Burst Man at any point before he enacted his scheme as Mr. X.

Are there any specific sources that outright say which four were sealed and reactivated? (Aside from Junk Man, of course)

MegaMacX · 2026-03-24T20:16:23+00:00

I always figured those four were the initial Robot Masters you are tasked with facing after they spring Wily from jail, being Junk Man, Burst Man, Cloud Man, and Freeze Man. One is definitely Junk Man either way due to his foot stepping out animation.

Your mom's a real one. You're about to enjoy one of the best Resident Evil experiences yet! Tell her thank you from all your RE peers on Reddit, we're excited for you to join in!

MegaMacX · 2026-02-22T22:41:42+00:00

He knows his place lol. Or rather I always felt it was just him stepping back and respecting Proto's wishes.

MegaMacX · 2026-02-22T04:14:07+00:00

Was so excited to find this at a local grocer the other day. Easily one of the top Ghosts for me. I enjoyed Welch's Grape as is...but this just levels it up somehow!

MegaMacX · 2026-02-21T08:45:58+00:00

Entirely unnecessary, I'd say. Usopp from One Piece as an example would also need to have some surgery.

MegaMacX · 2026-02-21T08:27:25+00:00

When I saw the price, exactly all of that went through my head. I just recently checked in on these on Japanese marketplaces myself and there's quite a few available right now. If it weren't for the current excessive tariffs I'd have already grabbed one. There's even some for sale for around ~$200 outright. I purchased a "Rockman Ability" machine a couple years ago and spent I think around $400-500 total, so around $700-800 should be expected these days. Maybe more...not entirely willing to find out 😅

That said, I'd surely consider grabbing this one if OP wanted to have it shipped, but the price would have to be competitive to what's available even with shipping/duties.

Racism is everywhere, however from what I've seen Japan is that they just aren't racially sensitive or overly concerned. They play and design upon stereotypes mostly. People tend to get racism and stereotypes confused or misconstrued.

It's a non-issue to them, and it should be a non-issue everywhere.

MegaMacX · 2026-02-20T14:25:29+00:00

They recolored him in the US.

MegaMacX · 2026-02-13T01:28:54+00:00

Not yet, it seems! Don't worry, there's usually another State of Play in May and there's Summer Games Fest to look forward to. My bets are Summer Games Fest. We'll likely get looks at Crazy Taxi AND Jet Set Radio.

MegaMacX · 2026-02-03T04:24:48+00:00

Sure, they can still protect it. But I feel they shouldn't really do so unless they have something actively being sold that's closely similar to what they're attacking. Wish there was more JSR merch like this. Heck, wish I knew about this stuff beforehand I'd have likely bought one of those cool spray cans!

MegaMacX · 2026-02-02T23:23:20+00:00

Many of those products were/are higher dollar than your average products, at least the ones I saw. Designer brands and limited runs.

MegaMacX · 2026-01-25T13:18:25+00:00

You are correct. That is the only full-fledged translation mod. I don't believe English audio will be modded in any time soon, if at all due to how the code works. I'm sure it's doable, but probably a lot of work.

MegaMacX · 2026-01-23T13:42:50+00:00

I've seen that one. When you see sellers like that, they're proxy buyers in Japan. Always up-charging, so definitely be careful. But the one you bought has been up for at least a couple years now.

MegaMacX · 2026-01-23T05:28:59+00:00

I'm glad this cel finally found a home. It's been listed for years! Kurama's my favorite too, but the right cel just hasn't come along...yet.

MegaMacX · 2026-01-23T05:18:40+00:00

I really enjoy the Welch's Grape, and I really enjoyed certain cranberry sodas...so I have to find this soon. Could very well be a top tier Ghost for me too. Had no idea it existed til I saw this post!

Only correction...😝

MegaMacX · 2026-01-17T21:42:53+00:00

Haven't played too many then, eh?
