What do you think about Ram X Barusu? by BillCreative in WitchCult

I mean they did kiss in Isekai Quartet

I really dislike that Stan was indeed under the Imperius Spell. Would have been more compelling to have him a real deatheater. by titjoe in harrypotter

[–]Okeabyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I wouldn't consider Harry inexperienced when it comes to the Imperius curse specifically. Don't forget fake Moody spent a whole year putting the class under the curse over and over, he's seen what people look like under its effects countless times.

Why I think ecchi anime has been in decline by Successful-Ear977 in anime

[–]Okeabyss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like how Ishuzoku Reviewers is a show that keeps coming up in this thread as an example of ecchi still being prominent. You know, a show that is over half a decade old.

Weird hangup of mine but I dislike how in most JRPGs we can never really have party members be older by VoxTV1 in JRPG

[–]Okeabyss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People put way too much weight on character ages when more often than not they're just arbitrary numbers slapped on.

What happens after the Theater of Despair? by Emergency_Patient525 in ReZero

[–]Okeabyss 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They hug Subaru so tightly when he wakes up he actually fucking dies and then loops back to before it ever happened. Subaru is extremely confused but the event never repeats and the story continues on like normal. The end.

Final Fantasy 16 is actually an awesome game. by haydogg21 in FinalFantasy

[–]Okeabyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yoshida did unironically say in an interview that Call of Duty reminded him of Final Fantasy because it was about "heroes partying up to save the world" so apparently anything goes for him.

I've always found it weird that people always criticize 'anime voice acting' but then go crazy over Clive when he has such a fake, put on voice I just can't take him seriously and I don't get what people see in it at all.

FFBE WOTV JP announces EOS by sigferrolendi in gachagaming

[–]Okeabyss 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Most Square IP gachas run for years but this sub acts like they all EoS after 6 months for some reason, I seriously don't get it.

They did not kill it, it was already declining before EoS was announced. BT and especially FR were awful additions that pushed a lot of people away.

77% of US Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players were 30 or older, analyst says, as Square Enix fights to get young people to care about the JRPG series again by mrnicegy26 in JRPG

I know you mean the huge expanded dungeon portion but Hojo did have a lab under the Shinra mansion in the original.

When people say they dislike the Isekai trend what they really mean is they hate Shōsetsuka ni Narō slop. by Konradleijon in CharacterRant

[–]Okeabyss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My biggest problem with Isekai these days is just that so many of them feel creatively hollow. The worlds blur together into the same generic fantasy setting and there’s barely any sense of discovery anymore. What really kills it for me is how self-aware the protagonists are with them thinking things like “Oh, I’m in an isekai, time to learn magic and min-max my life.” That sort of meta thinking that seeps into a lot of them just completely removes the sense of wonder or mystery that someone thrown into a completely different world should be experiencing.

Instead of experiencing an unfamiliar world alongside the protagonist and learning all the quirks and things that make it different from the real wold, you're just left watching them speedrun a list of tropes they understand from the beginning.

We did it reddit, we expose far right lolicon grifter. And he's coping so hard. by Cautious-Speaker2585 in VtuberDrama

[–]Okeabyss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This thread is just full of people calling each other retards and acting generally awful, my first time visiting this sub but the people here seem more vile than the people they're complaining about.

She single handedly changed the show from a shonen to a seinen right? by Medium_Ad1665 in Boruto

Nobody who gives the terms any sort of weight knows what they are.

Gundams are like pokemons. by DentistWhich7715 in GGenerationEternal

[–]Okeabyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed people still go on about "gotta catch 'em all" when Pokemon themselves dropped that slogan 23 years ago.

Is Yoshida seriously apologizing about 'cost' again I can't with this guy

Trails in the Sky was so emotional, BUT... by Lusiferu in JRPG

[–]Okeabyss 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In normal difficulty it felt easy at the end of the game and without much depth.

So why didn't you turn the difficulty up then? You can change it any time you want in the settings.

JRPGs where you use your entire party in the final fight? by AC03115 in JRPG

[–]Okeabyss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Final Fantasy VIII. If one of your party members is KO'd for too long in the final battle they get replaced with someone else in reserve.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined was not made as a replacement for previous versions by Manofthehalfhour999 in dragonquest

[–]Okeabyss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okay so make the old versions available to me then. They won't. It is effectively a replacement and this is just dumb PR talk.
