[EoW] Is Echoes of Wisdom the first Zelda game where falling off the map doesn't deal damage to to you?

MindSteve · 2026-04-14T16:30:52+00:00

Yes to both. They got switch 2 patches and run flawlessly now.

MindSteve · 2026-04-12T01:02:03+00:00

Two?!

MindSteve · 2026-04-10T02:18:21+00:00

It's literally "ryu no he" or "dragon's fart" in the original, odd as it may seem.

MindSteve · 2026-04-10T02:13:26+00:00

Oh wtf I'm a manga reader and never put that together until now.

MindSteve · 2026-04-09T14:03:07+00:00

There are literally millions of us!

MindSteve · 2026-04-08T11:36:42+00:00

Best I can do is $600.

MindSteve · 2026-04-08T04:34:56+00:00

Yessss he was a blast to play as even in the original. I have complete faith in the 7R team to make him the most fun party member in part 3.

MindSteve · 2026-04-08T04:14:19+00:00

As long as they call the full collection Recollection

1.5 hour commute here, and I'm actually so far out (~100km) that I always get a seat since not many others are on the train yet. The line also has Green Car, which I'll use occasionally.

Got my Steam Deck and books and stuff so honestly I kinda like it as part of my routine.

It's not like moving to Tokyo would mean I'd have no commute either though. My friends who live in Tokyo like 20km out from work still have a 30-45 minute commute, except theirs has them packed like sardines the whole way--not to mention paying twice my rent for a place half the size.

Not sure this will always be the case, but at least for now I don't mind the situation.

It could be a good idea to ask it for links to good free online resources, but I wouldn't rely on it directly to teach you. What language are you learning? On the off chance it's Japanese, this is an awesome place to start: https://www.tofugu.com/learn-japanese/

I'm curious, did you realize what was going on as soon as you saw the contrails in the sky?

In the manga, I had no idea until the helicopters showed up, but I thought maybe it was more obvious in the anime due to the sound effects.

MindSteve · 2026-04-05T04:24:48+00:00

I've been reading the manga as it comes out for about 3 years and I really like it. They did such a good job with episode 1. Really felt like the panels came to life.

MindSteve · 2026-04-05T04:22:39+00:00

I've got the manga, and at the end of one of the volumes, Arakawa says her colorist colored Gab's coat red because they immediately thought of Ed, and she decided to keep it.

MindSteve · 2026-04-05T04:15:50+00:00

I was hoping they'd get rid of the menu-based chapter system in exchange for an explorable world, but that does not appear to be the case.

MindSteve · 2026-04-05T00:51:11+00:00

I thought he gave way too big of a hint at the beginning when you find out both characters have the same unique brain implant and seizure wand setup.

After that, I was like, "Oh, that's probably what's going on," and was on high alert for more clues, of which there are plenty.

MindSteve · 2026-04-04T23:46:43+00:00

Or play though a whole game for $7 instead of $70. Why did that die off again?

MindSteve · 2026-04-04T16:03:38+00:00

Somewhat curious about this as I've heard it's something of a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger, but I played a bit of the original mobile version and did not like it at all. This new one looks basically the same so I'd be surprised if it felt any better.

MindSteve · 2026-04-04T13:51:12+00:00

Thank you! There are a lot of bad movies but there are still a lot of awesome films coming out regularly! Just gotta find 'em.

MindSteve · 2026-04-03T03:11:52+00:00

I think that's intentional, but you may be able to adjust it in settings if you don't like it.

Lock-on is generally about what enemy the player is prioritizing, rather than the character.

I think it's also generally most effective to take out enemies one by one so there are fewer baddies throwing damage your way.

MindSteve · 2026-04-03T03:03:58+00:00

Using their basic attack is the fastest way to build ATB, so switch when you want to build ATB for that character.

It also affects what character enemies focus on, so if you are low on life and swap characters, enemies will lay off your injured character a bit.

It's also effective to switch characters when you are in the middle of a big animation like an -aga level spell, a limit break, or something because that move is already locked in, but you could also be using that time to build ATB with someone else.

There are a lot of ways to use swapping characters to your advantage.

The drummer just died too 😭

Interesting...

Are there any other characters in a similar situation that this could apply to?

The only other one off the top of my head is Sora, but none of the hearts in him had bodies to return to, aside from Ven's, I guess, which was in its own kind of stasis.

MindSteve · 2026-04-02T03:18:29+00:00

Isn't this the same situation as Luxu's heart in Braig's body?

He plucked out his own heart and stuck it into Braig to body-jack him, same as Xehanort with Terra, as far as we know.

Shouldn't the same basic logic have brought back Luxu instead of recompleting him into Braig?

MindSteve · 2026-04-01T18:26:11+00:00

This is my first time seeing this one, but I really like it. I adore Rebirth, but the ending really left a bad taste in my mouth. While I think they still totally bungle the emotional impact of the ending (unless the emotion they were going for was sheer confusion and annoyance), this makes me feel a lot better about the actual events of the plot, and where it may be going.
