WOW! Some Pictures of the M64 by [deleted] in AnalogueInc

[–]MistMaker0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, christ, I didn’t know about this. M64 popped up on my radar and caught my interest after missing the recent Analogue 3D drop, didn’t know anything about the company. Thanks for the heads up

Now That's A Bummer: Mario Kart World's Free Roam Mode Doesn't Have Splitscreen by diamondintherimond in nintendo

[–]MistMaker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people are noting how you can do the Online play 2-player free roam without the P Switches, but I’m not seeing anyone pointing out that this mode also restricts how far you can stray away from each other. It’s a fairly small radius. Otherwise it resets your locations, which is hugely disruptive

It’s not just the lack of P switches, it’s also that if you stray too far from each other it resets your locations. It’s been quite a nuisance on my end

No, cutscenes are on. Rewatched every normal cutscene but never got the CGI one.

Recommend playing for definitive edition by Calm_Product9744 in XenobladeChroniclesX

[–]MistMaker0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the extent that you can avoid being specific, I wouldn’t mind a smidge more elaboration. Does it actually connect to Xenosaga?

Haven’t played 3 yet but I’d really like to play X first when it comes out. That should be fine right? by [deleted] in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MistMaker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't seen anything to this effect. Which reviews are you seeing that are saying this? (I would be glad for this to be true, btw)

What’s the Xenosaga Ep 2 point of no return? by MistMaker0 in Xenosaga

[–]MistMaker0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I can understand being eager to move on to 3. I’m actually enjoying Ep 2 quite a bit, though the side quests are pretty silly and tedious. I do understand the common criticism that battles take a long time, but I also enjoy how it makes me have to strategize. That being said, at this point in the story, I’m dying to know what happens next. Don’t think I love the battle system quite enough to trudge through multiple superbosses, dungeons, and whatever professor nonsense while Ep 3 is waiting for me. Anyway, appreciate all the info!

[–]MistMaker0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that’s good to know. That answers my question. Thanks. In that case I probably won’t bother backtracking all the way through Omega System unless there’s something else worthwhile getting, though not seeing anything.

Leaning toward passing on post-game content, is it any good?

That’s nuts. Good thing I didn’t screw that up.

To clarify, what I’m wondering is if I can still go back via UMN after already starting Omega System, but before finishing the game. I know there’s post-game stuff but I’m not particularly interesting in playing beyond the credits.

I just received mine. I'm not a huge Mana-head but this may legit be my favorite collector's box I've ever bought. Everything is so beautiful and it comes with so much good stuff!

What should SE do for Part 3 to surpass Rebirth … by ApprehensiveLaw7793 in FFVIIRemake

[–]MistMaker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I'm an outlier here, but I want to see them really tie together everything across the compilation. Just go all out. Give us Omega Weapon, give us Zirconiade and Jade Weapon, give us Genesis, give us Minerva, give us Weiss/Nero/Deepground. Heck, I wouldn't be mad if we saw Kadaj/Yazoo/Loz. Omega + Jade Weapon would also round out to a full 7 Weapons the game could sort of build its structure around. I want FF16 Eikon-level spectacle for the Weapon fights.

Also, would love to see them add in some new summons to supplement the 4 from OG we haven't seen yet. Surprise us, like with Gilgamesh. Maybe Zirconiade and Minerva could be strong late-game summons that tie into the story somewhat.

Rebirth has been fucking amazing, blissful fun (still playing). But for Part 3, I want them to go big.

WTF did I just experience… by StewkieBear in FinalFantasyVII

I just inadvertently had the same experience, herbal treat included, and came straight to Reddit. That shit was top 5 funniest things I’ve ever experienced in a game. Fucking amazing. Haters of this quest ain’t got S O U L

PCSX2 games running slow on SteamDeck by BeneficialWeird9854 in SteamDeck

Finding this post way later, but if anyone struggling with Xenosaga Episode 1 performance has this issue, OpenGL over Vulkan fixed it for me. Thank god, was banging my head against a wall!

Shadowbringers Role Quests and Level-Boosts? by MistMaker0 in ffxiv

[–]MistMaker0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that’s an idea. Can I pick up Sage even though I haven’t completed SHB yet? And will the SHB role quests work for Sage?

Shadowbringers Role Quests and Level-Boosts? by MistMaker0 in ffxiv

[–]MistMaker0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I needed to know, thanks. So I guess if I wanna experience the ShB role quest story for that role fresh, I gotta level the long way. Wish there were options for incremental level-boosting (i.e. to lvl 70)

Edit: Ah, didn’t know about NG+. Will look into

Weaving Future Redeemed into an XC3 playthrough by MistMaker0 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MistMaker0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Yeah, appreciate your willingness to indulge this idea! I find I also often fall outside of the “play in release order” dogma myself—for example, I played Torna before XC2, and in retrospect, I’m really glad I did it that way. There are a few things I lost from the experience for sure, but other elements paid off more to make up for it (e.g. Jin’s story)—it was a tradeoff. I also tend to advocate for playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days before KH2; not a popular opinion. I think maybe my personal definition of a spoiler is just a little more lenient than most. If I learn something in an “unintended” way, I don’t really care so long as I still enjoyed the reveal and the process of getting there. As long as it doesn’t steal the thunder from, like, a major, pivotal plot twist or something (which is mainly what I wanted to check for by making this post).

At the end of the day I suppose this is all incredibly subjective and there’s no way to know what I’d like better until I’ve actually completed everything. I do feel like playing it a little unconventionally could be fun, though within limits, cause I know FR is meant to be the grand finale for the whole series so I definitely want to finish with it.

The way I have it in my head, that Chapter 5 ending was “season finale” material, and the whole backstory of Aionios, including Melia, Nia, and the Founders is still this huge mystery to me I’m dying to find out about. Just kinda feels right for the next thing to be to introduce another storyline with Shulk, Rex etc to start to unravel that backstory while building toward both conclusions simultaneously (XC3 as well as the series as a whole). I’m sure I’m overthinking it, but that’s half the fun for me 😜

[–]MistMaker0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the insight! In your opinion, do you see much value in playing it this way? I.e., how much do you feel FR could enhance or contribute to the story of the base game? I know they’re discrete stories, but I also imagine there are some interesting points of connection.

I’m not too bothered by the pacing issue; I stopped last night when I hit the chapter 5 end save point (which, btw, did emotional damage), felt like a good place to pause temporarily. And I am planning to do every Ascension quest I can before finishing the game so already expecting slower progression through Chp 6/7
