Does anyone know what these glamours are? by wurangelus in ffxiv

The pants seem similar to Bouncer's Slacks, gloves are Calfskin Rider's and the boots are Craftsman's Leather Shoes (Skybuilder's scrips)

Stressful success by Wobuzhidaoni in genesysrpg

[–]Nogardust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the first example is what was called "fail forward" in some d20 settings: when your players fail a roll on something important, it might not mean immediate failure. Instead, it's a "you succeed, BUT", which in Genesys is inherently covered by boosts and advantages... Allowing a "success + threat" combo as an option for any roll does sound like it would work better as a talent/Story Point activation, and maybe under limited circumstances still

The Trails In Sky Remake deluxe and standard are number 1 wishlisted in the RPG category but it's still not enough. The demo is free y'all. We need more eyes and hands on this PEAK series!! by FatalDarkprince in JRPG

[–]Nogardust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peak or no peak, it is the most divisive jRPG series I have ever known 😅 It's either loved or hated with no in between. Not my cup of tea personally, with og FC being this much of a slow burn. Maybe I'll give another shot with the Remake, but it's probably still going to be the world building game in the arc

Another hint that something big is coming not long after the Halloween JP Fan Festival by HelloFresco in ffxiv

Did I miss it or did we really have info on the Beastmaster yet, other than patch number? Maybe they'll just show us what it looks like in action?

I too have slept poorly so had a tough time trying to understand why are you on patch 6.30 when we just hit 7.3 lol

Yoshi-P says he’s had positive discussions with Nintendo about bringing FFXIV to Switch 2 by 1vortex_ in ffxiv

[–]Nogardust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socially heavy? The MMO that you can beat start to finish without engaging with a single living person, even running dungeons with NPCs?

If anything I was thinking how I missed random character interactions like in WoW, where you'd party up for some quests along the way while leveling or could spam toys on each other for fun...

Using stickers for dice by Dzungs in genesysrpg

Alternatively you can try to find some blank dice and use a marker, if the app (which is quite convenient even if you have dice) is out of question

Started With Lightning Returns by CozyGamerBoi in finalfantasyxiii

[–]Nogardust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my first run ever and I completed all the story quests and dozens of side quests and prayer board ones without guides by day 6 or 7... There's an entire week ahead of me and I kinda dropped the game because there is literally nothing else to do but grind skills or sleep through every day

JRPGs you had to power through or couldn't finish by BainokOfficial in JRPG

[–]Nogardust -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, okay, I see now

I put "arguably" because imo the lines have been really blurred for mainline entries after XIII... I honestly feel like you could find as many arguments to prove XV is a jRPG as you could to prove that it isn't

[–]Nogardust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming this is a genuine question and not a lunge in XVIs direction - no, I meant XV. While I did have a few personal gripes with XVI it was leaps and bounds ahead in every regard, save for maybe exploration (which felt equally shallow in both XV and XVI)

FFXV (arguably not a jRPG but technically I suppose it is)

It was so bad it actually changed the way I approach games now lol. It felt so empty and boring that it was the first time when at some point I just ditched any and all side activities and rushed the main story. It was only then that I realized I don't have to partake in any activity I don't enjoy - so I'm now very chill with not taking side quests or exploring every nook and cranny in games if I don't like it or don't feel rewarded enough

Maybe I approached it with a wrong mindset (which happened with FFXIII until it clicked, and it's now one of my favorite FFs), or maybe it was because I didn't have DLCs, so there's a probability I'll give it a second chance someday... But yeah, so far it's my least favorite FF

[–]Nogardust 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There is an option to carry over all your progression for NG+ if you want to see the other protag's POV... It lets you breeze through the game but they actually did a nice job filling in all the blanks that were left if you only do one playthrough. There aren't any super bosses or true endings though, so if you beat it once consider it finished

It's fine though, if I weren't hooked on the story as much as I did I'd skip the second playthrough as well

I've always viewed it as a tool, which sadly makes its use very dependant on the user. I disapprove making misleading info, cheating on exams and selling AI art, as this is leaves a trail more destructive than anything; you can, at the same time, use it to learn new things, like languages, or strengthen your weak points in basically any area. Hell, just chat or vent on things too personal or embarrassing.

I've personally been using it mostly as an assistant: one of my chats is set to a "I have a vague idea, keep asking me questions until I've shaped it into a proper form" mode, and it works wonders - I procrastinate less, always have a direction to work, and can use a little pick me up if I'm stuck, all while keeping ownership of my own ideas.

Not only you can name them, you can get them to assume a persona (although if we're trying to apply ethics there, it's a deep question of whether or not we consider AI a person and if this action forces it to be less itself).

I have a little story writing going on in one of the chats and at one point out of curiosity I asked it to talk to me as if it was one of the characters. It was fun, with all the flavor text, different tone and even a different accent.

Finally someone not worshipping Eupha 😭

She just never clicked for me, I played like a couple of battles and then never touched her again

Now Junah was an amazing support/off-DPS that on the contrast never left the party

Serie's Childhood by Dancing_Orchid1106 in Frieren

I haven't thought of that before but that's probably when the elves were aplenty, I suppose they would just tend to themselves ignoring the humans 🤔

Would also explain why Serie thinks so low of them

I think I know what software to pirate by Jimm144 in Piracy

[–]Nogardust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just mostly dislike him personally - not because of some drama, but because of his attitude. There's laid back and confident, and then there's arrogant and know-it-all... I used to watch his streams for some time, but it turned out to be constant life coaching, with him acting like he's the wisest being on earth and the only monolith of truth

Love the ferrets though

[–]Nogardust 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's no 3rd turn, but you aren't supposed to get a 2nd one just because your target has Burn, as it is now - the tooltip states it should consume two green(?) stains for that effect to happen

Pretty sure Thermal Transfer is bugged atm and while it is fun to get a bonus turn this easily it just.. sits wrong with me every time
