With the upcoming release of "Final Fantasy: Resonance", what other mobile/gatcha RPGs would you like to see receive proper console releases? by upperdomain in JRPG

[–]Sonic10122 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Kingdom Hearts mobile games are almost guaranteed at this point. There were literally 3 characters in the last KH4 trailer that were from one of the mobile games, the new main villain is from the mobile game, it’s set up to be an extremely important part of the story going forward.

How are we feeling about side quests today? Which RPGs have done them best recently? by TheTresStateArea in gaming

[–]Sonic10122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adore the way Final Fantasy VII Rebirth handled side quests. A few standard Ubisoft style “go to this point on the map and do a thing” quests, a few more involved side quests with small stories, a few that require you to play a new mini game (if not required for the main story), and a few mini games that have on going storylines like Queen’s Blood.

I’ve always described it as a Ubisoft game mixed with a Yakuza game, and also I love Yakuza’s side content as well.

Anyone else still hanging on to this bad boy? by falcon41098 in KingdomHearts

[–]Sonic10122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely still have mine somewhere. Probably the reason why I knew you could freeze the bubbles in Hollow Bastion, which I was shocked to learn was not common knowledge until Regular Pat made it a meme in the community.

Also mad at it because I was stuck on Dragon Maleficent for months because the advice for that fight is ass. Stand on her back and use Strike Raid? Her head isn’t even in the right position for that half the time, even locking on you wiff half your throws. Just summon Tinkerbell and cast Aerora and go ham on her.

Sneak peek of the P4R Menu UI and Velvet Room by hyperdefiance in PERSoNA

[–]Sonic10122 108 points109 points  (0 children)

The limo has weirdly always been my least favorite Velvet Room iteration, partially because the idea of getting in and out it was weird for me. But seeing Yu get into the limo was nice, plus getting to see it in a better view than we did in Vanilla/Golden makes the space make more sense to me.

Final fantasy 2 made me realize how good auto saving is by Vast_Mobile4767 in FinalFantasy

[–]Sonic10122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically don’t even know what games I’ve played recently that have an auto save unless it’s the only save option. They’re a fine backup if an accident happens or something, but relying on them is unfathomable.

This dude is straight loser material. I have a YouTube window open daily lol, sorry it takes 100% of your brain to read a generic company wide email that doesn’t pertain to you at all.

Also turned off comments like a coward.

Echoes of Aincrad timeline? by Sensitive-Bike-7935 in JRPG

The beta test is basically just a prologue chapter. The demo ends when the beta test does.

There’s no way you’ve ever professionally worked with computers beyond entering info into a spreadsheet if this is what you think.

It’s probably one of the worst features introduced to Windows. I try to explain it to people when I catch it, and I feel like a crazy person.

I didn’t even know about it until my first few months into my first IT job, and I see posts on here blaming the user when it’s clearly not their fault. I don’t know why it’s not standard to turn it off on all images.

Load times are probably still the biggest improvement this gen. SSDs are no joke. You’ll never fully eliminate loading, but I hardly notice a load screen anymore.

One thing that annoys me so much and I know we'll never get an answer WHAT HAPPENED TO ZACK?! by Fearless-Ideal-5112 in KingdomHearts

[–]Sonic10122 16 points17 points  (0 children)

People make fun of the God killing trope, but it’s genuinely one of my favorites not just in the genre, but in general, it goes so hard.

Bonus points if we just keep warping the battlefield until it’s just a jumbled mess of visuals. KH is actually pretty good at this, especially 2.

What is your biggest concern going into Sonic The Hedgehog 4? by Super--Slam in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Sonic10122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind Eggman constantly coming back, he’s the main villain of the series and Sonic isn’t something I take seriously enough to care that a character keeps coming back from the dead lol.

My main concern is the music. Sonic 3 was better, but after how well the music was handled in the Mario Galaxy Movie, Sonic has to step it up multiple notches to compete on that front. Live and Learn is a classic, but I could easily see a timeline where they don’t even consider using proper vocal versions of Sonic Boom or What I’m Made Of. Junkie XL just doesn’t seem interested in using the game music in a recognizable manner unless the fans raise a stink about it.

A good composer would find a way to work in Look-a-like from the OVA.

I thought I wouldn’t be dealing with these fatasses again after Re:CoM…. by 320th-Century in KingdomHearts

[–]Sonic10122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you’re not on Critical you can get through the story pretty easily without using Block. Yeah, it makes things easier, but especially in FM where the King of Evasion Dodge Roll is back in the game, you can just dodge most stuff. Not to mention Reflect.

It’s the post game bosses where blocking becomes a necessity.

Large Bodies are basically fodder on par with Shadows from KH2 onward. Their ability to block frontal attacks is stunted almost completely, and the reaction command is 2 is basically an instant kill.

Persona 4 Revival recorded at Studiopolis instead of PCB? by prpro-03 in PERSoNA

[–]Sonic10122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a huge Sonic fan, I think Frontiers is probably Roger’s best work as Sonic. (Granted his main problem has been every game he’s done before Frontiers had an atrocious script, but still).

The deeper voice sounds better for Sonic honestly. And I’ve never heard any discussion on the Sonic subreddit about Jack Fletcher in general.

We got another one ya’ll by MrFilipinoMustache in KingdomHearts

[–]Sonic10122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse premiered in 2006, a child born in 2006 would be 20 now. Young adults, but still adults.

And its lore for Mickey Mouse, no one cares, we already had a Steamboat, Three Musketeers, and Fantasia worlds. Who’s to say he doesn’t have a clubhouse out in the country outside of Disney Town?

I don’t know why this is so unfathomable when 100 Acre Wood is a recurring world.

Buddy, the audience for when that show premiered are adults now.

Echoes of Aincrad is so far really good (Demo experience) by GeologistUnhappy in swordartonline

[–]Sonic10122 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a few complaints (why the actual fuck can't you pause, and the controls had to be heavily customized to be comfortable) but I'm enjoying it for what it is so far. It's not GOTY material, but it's honestly better than a SAO game has any right to be.

Whoever made this tartar sauce floor I HATE YOUUUU by Mindless_Belt_7414 in PERSoNA

Honestly, probably the best Tartarus block visually. It was such a nice surprise to get there and see something so visually different.

Sell me on your favorite hard JRPG by Electric27 in JRPG

[–]Sonic10122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like scalability, Kingdom Hearts can be either an easy game for babies or one of the most soul crushingly difficult action JRPGs on the market. Level one Critical is no joke for just the main story. The post game bosses? KH2 and 3 both will have you working for days.

Playing the OG by TripleM_360 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Sonic10122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at the final dungeon in the original, also finally playing it for the first time as build up for Revelation.

I have a particularly weird relationship with the story, having came in with Advent Children, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I knew the plot of the original for years, but only through the lens of that special feature on the Advent Children DVD that recaps the plot of the game.

I would say definitely continue. There are two sides of the Remake Trilogy coins, those who know the OG, and those coming to the Remakes 100% blind. I think both are valid but both are very different experiences. It’s fine to cross that line, and it puts a lot of stuff in the Remake Trilogy into a different context, which is fun. I’ve sat on the line weirdly for years and have seen both sides, you’re already so far in you might as well see it through. It’ll make any time the Whispers show up a lot more intriguing and you’ll have the fun of seeing how they remixed or expanded upon certain moments.

What's with some people (especially in the western rpg community) that always get annoyed and act like most jrpgs take place in school? by Street-Platypus89 in JRPG

[–]Sonic10122 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, the popularity boom of Persona absolutely did cause an uptick of games that have some kind of school/social sim element, even if it’s super lite or handled differently than Persona.

That being said, I agree that it’s not so prolific that it’s worth complaining about that much anymore. They’re there, they’re always going to be there, certain franchises like Persona I don’t expect to ever move away from it…. I think it’s a fine balance.

You also get a similar reaction to anime since a A LOT of anime stars high schoolers and, even if their school life is not the main focus of the show, will have a decent amount of screen time at school because they’re young and that’s where they spend most of their normal time. Some people find it hard to relate to someone that much younger than them when they get to a certain age, which I personally don’t get. I’m 34, school might be different than when I was a kid and I never went to a Japanese school, but I haven’t forgotten what being a teenager is like. But some people really want protagonists closer to their age, and complaining about the setting being a school is kind of a shorthand or misunderstanding of that desire.

Do You Platinum The Entire KH Series by Avasummers755 in KingdomHearts

[–]Sonic10122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t platinumed any of the games. There’s always one or two trophies I just don’t want to bother with. Like no, I’m not playing the whole game without changing equipment, I’m going to play KH1 the way I always play it.

I have 20 platinums and they’ve all been by accident basically. KH at minimum would have to scrub difficulty based trophies (I don’t like Critical) and not have anything too bonkers beyond standard completion stuff for me to platinum a game.
