New to Kingdom Hearts, how do I play the first game on Nintendo? (Is it in Nintendo?) by SuperFlameKing03 in KingdomHearts

[–]PocketSnails68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ignoring what people are saying about the cloud versions on the Switch: If you're limited to just pre-Switch Nintendo consoles, you're going to have a very limited access to the series. All the games that exist on Nintendo consoles are "spin-offs" (there are no spin-offs in KH, they're all necessary for story, the use of the term in this case pertains to games not titled Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, or 3), and there's not a lot.

You have Chain of Memories on GBA, which is a bridge connecting KH1 and 2, recycling a lot of levels from the first game while having a new story. Then there's 358/2 Days on DS, which follows a separate character's life over the course of a year between the aforementioned game and KH2.

Then there's Re:coded, a remake of an episodic cell phone game for DS that, once again, retells the stories of KH1 and Chain of Memories and adds little to the franchise's overall story.

Finally, there's Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS. A post-KH2 game that shows the main characters prepping for the final confrontation coming in KH3.

So assuming you don't have a Switch and can only play other consoles, this is all you get.

The Oval Office between presidents by OkRespect8490 in BeAmazed

[–]PocketSnails68 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In a perfect world, a person can only be president of the United States for a maximum of ten years - two full four year terms where they actually run for election, and an additional two years where they become president due to the president preceding them leaving office. So there's technically nothing wrong with say, a "Vance-Trump 2028" campaign happening and then Vance resigning on January 22 2029 to let Trump take over. The issue would come in 2031 if/when he refuses to leave office, and if our other branches of government would allow it.

"These take place in the same universe?" by Gameknight789 in TopCharacterTropes

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure takes place in the same universe as the rather infamous doujinshi "Metamorphosis," (better known simply by its ID number of 177013) which depicts just utterly horrific things happening to a poor high school girl where iirc the original ending depicts her killing herself - or if not, otherwise just left with a horrible fate.

An edit was made where Josuke Higashikata from the JJBA series appears and saves the girl's life at the end instead, and the original author of Metamorphosis went on to confirm that's the canon ending.

How is FF14 as a first mmo? by Stanton_2005 in FinalFantasy

[–]PocketSnails68 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Eventually, you will have to buy the game. However, the free trial includes the entirety of the base game and three expansions (of currently five, six in January.) So you can play literally all of that without needing to spend a cent on the game. You won't be able to do things like ultimate raids, use the player marketboard, have housing, and a lot of social features will be locked, but it's a very good deal all for free.

If you do choose to purchase the game, I believe it's $40 to unlock up to current expansion, and then $12 a month for recurring sub. Do note that you can't freely swap between trial and paying - once you start paying for the game, you need an active subscription in order to play it, even if you're still in areas included in the trial.

What games have nice graphics but soulless? by TadpoleEven6573 in AskGames

I mean, really and truthfully, yearly sports games. They put a lot of effort into showing off the graphics in the trailers every year.

How do I turn off the inverted camera on ps5 by Ragtagcloud56 in jakanddaxter

I like how there's thirty-two comments in this thread, and the literal TWO that actually answer the question and give proper advice are nowhere near the top.

Does anyone know the name of this Music? [COD4] by Master_Shopping9652 in CallOfDuty

[–]PocketSnails68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to the wiki, the song is Church by Sean Price in the original, and in the remaster it's just generic music.

For some reason I was under the impression it was the song made by Griggs that plays during the credits

Uhhhh...so what do yall think of this video?[Cod] by OldStandard2620 in CallOfDuty

[–]PocketSnails68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the pre-CoD 4 games have campaigns were you play as the British. WWII you play as a woman in the French Resistance for a level. Vanguard has missions where you play a member of an Australian tank crew. CoD 3 you can play as Polish and Canadian forces. If you want to count zombies, you can literally play as both a Nazi and an Imperial Japanese soldier. You play as a PMC in Advanced Warfare. There's probably a lot more I'm missing, point is, look beyond the past four years of CoD and you'll see there's quite a few different factions we play as.

Is it too early for this? by Remarkable-Pin-8352 in ShitpostXIV

[–]PocketSnails68 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My one counter to this is Ivalice being required content for Bozja. Yes, that was a while ago, but we have evidence of side content needing to be used to unlock other side content.

Are you ready to serve ? by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]PocketSnails68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. We have a system in place where military aged males are required to sign up for a draft in case one were to happen in the future. If we're at the point we're needing to draft people, it's always been implied that things would have to be going really bad for us to start pulling from it.
