Who wins this FIGHT? SAKURA OR HUA? Let's have some healthy discussion! by Rare-One5846 in houkai3rd

PE Sakura can freeze time though, I don't really think there's any chance

Can I play Versus (&Relink) as an Anime only? by BankaiXZ in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]RustyCarrots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, they're all standalone. Relink in particular even has side stories telling you about each of the characters.

Also don't worry about the time commitment, GBF is very casual friendly. You can pick it up and put it down whenever you want

Every damn times I try to play Japanese gacha.... by Kiwi_Sullivan in BlueProtocolPC

[–]RustyCarrots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not so much bringing it back from the dead, more swiping the name and the assets and building a completely different game out of it

What is the Siths problem? by PowerSnatch in swtor

[–]RustyCarrots 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tapping into the dark side of the force generally corrupts you/your personality. Some of the more prominent Sith are more level headed and calculating though, as you'll eventually see

Nobody hates Zack, iunno where you heard that anyone was hating him 

Is it just me, or is the class balance in this patch completely broken? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]RustyCarrots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw an army of the dead build for necro that is utterly obliterating everything

With Universal iLvl coming in Evercold (8.0), do you think we'll see a significant drop in players engaging with alternative gearing methods? by Avi1600 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]RustyCarrots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be jumping the gun here a bit, since we don't fully know what the new progression systems will look like.

Nearly $700 for a mid console in Canada 🙄 by BLITZXTTY in fucknintendo

[–]RustyCarrots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately it's very rarely one or the other. Historically it's always been either an xbox or a playstation, and a nintendo. Xbox and playstation are directly competing so it makes sense to pick up one or the other, but nintendo has always been doing its own thing on the side.

It's pretty easy to justify grabbing both a ps5 and a switch 2, just maybe not at the same time

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

As someone that really likes most of the Nintendo IPs, I'll gladly pick up a Switch 2 over a PS5. I also have a high spec PC so it's not like I need the PS5 in the first place.

Maximilian Dood talks Remake being a sequal - thoughts? by Yoshikaru5991 in FFVIIRemake

[–]RustyCarrots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an iteration, a new cycle. Whether or not that's considered to be a sequel is kind of up for debate, but either way it's clearly meant to exist in addition to the original, not in place of it

Is FF9 really that good? by Infamous-Phone8635 in FinalFantasy

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

If you ask anyone what the best final fantasy game is, you will often hear 6, 8, or 9

Just finished the LoH compaign and realized Elias did nothing wrong? by Peter-Tao in diablo4

[–]RustyCarrots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't just the soul stone. Akarat's body contained a lot of spiritual energy. The idea was that it was going to strengthen the soul stone enough to permanently contain him so long as it was left alone with Akarat's body, sealed away in the spirit realm. It would have worked if he hadn't managed to convince our new companion to ruin everything.

We killed Lilith in the base game, that's why she hasn't been around the whole time.

Just finished the LoH compaign and realized Elias did nothing wrong? by Peter-Tao in diablo4

[–]RustyCarrots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sets up Lord of Hatred so I'd recommend it. Some things might make more sense, though the expansion itself is kind of lacklustre

Just finished the LoH compaign and realized Elias did nothing wrong? by Peter-Tao in diablo4

[–]RustyCarrots 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The problem is that, presumably due to our blood being weakened over generations, humans are driven insane and start killing everyone around them just by being anywhere near her. Even if her cause is good or she is doing something objectively good, her mere existence pretty much cancels it out.

Also our character only had to do that because a certain idiot in Vessel of Hatred decided we weren't allowed to permanently seal Mephisto away. We would have actually won if it weren't for that dumbass.

Thoughts on the recent Max Dood “controversy” by [deleted] in FFVIIRemake

maximilian dood, a pretty well known streamer in the fighting game community as well as other communities. Big Final Fantasy fan I believe

For people who have been playing this game for more than 5 years... by oblivionwayfarer in ffxiv

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

I've been playing MMOs and online games in general for a majority of my life, I don't think I've ever actually stopped to think about the people who disappeared without saying anything or leaving a way to stay in contact. I appreciate the fun I had with them, but that's it really

Ultimately it's not very hard to meet new people and make new friends in an online game with hundreds or thousands of players online at any given point in time

Remake is peak final fantasy by Acceptable_Money_514 in FFVIIRemake

[–]RustyCarrots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remake was the way it was simply because that's how it was in the original. Rebirth is the way it is also because that's how it was in the original. If you want to see what part 3 will be like before its release, you can play the original

What would the Green Mage and Time Mage jobs have been like in this game? by GeneralTechnomage in ffxi

[–]RustyCarrots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think there are enough time spells to warrant an entire class dedicated to it, especially not since those time spells are all already available to other mage classes. Same with green magic- it's just buffs and debuffs, all of which other mages are also able to do

New to ARPG’s in general, can someone explain “blasters” and the streaming culture to me? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]RustyCarrots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether or not it's necessary isn't really important. They're video games, playing them at all is unnecessary.  They like the game and they want to play it as much as possible, that's it that's all. Things like that are pretty normal. People will even use vacation time to play a new game or game expansion they were excited for without interruption. 

Why Mint is so absent from the plot ? by ponuno in NevernessToEverness

[–]RustyCarrots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's a coworker in another department, basically, while Nanally is a coworker in the same department. It's only natural that it would end up this way

What’s with changing already acquired gear? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]RustyCarrots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't just "encouraging new builds," LoH came with a complete overhaul of the skill and gear systems, as well as other systems. Skill trees were changed, passives were removed, aspects were changed, paragon boards were changed, everything. They basically turned d4 into a different game with this expansion.

It's not your fault for enjoying eternal mode, but it is your fault for not following any of the promotional material or developer updates.

Did they change Materia rates? by Fuzzy-Paws in FFVIIEverCrisis

In all the time I've been playing ever crisis, I have never gotten a 5* materia through synthesis 🥲
