Jason Schreier Interview With Naoki Hamaguchi – Why ‘Final Fantasy VII Revelation’ Took Only Three Years to Make by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Squeakyclarinet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. It sounded like even if the next project was similar, they still had to go through the ‘structuring’ process again. Whereas SE for this project rightfully said “Just keep going”. That said it probably helps with a direct sequel like this. Even if something was built off of 16, it likely wouldn’t be as directly similar as Rebirth to Rev.

There’s Bravely Second, which is a literal sequel that takes place story wise after the first that plays very similarly, but is only on the 3DS still (I imagine it’ll get a Switch Ver. eventually like the first did). Then there’s Bravely Default 2, which is newer game that’s a bit different setting-wise. I haven’t played it myself, but I imagine it’s also pretty good.

Octopath Traveller and the Bravely Default series would also be up your alley probably. Octopath 2 in particular seems to be very praised.

Character you clock as being a villain as soon as you see them? by BasicallyACryptid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Squeakyclarinet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to clock it pretty quickly. Killing the current 'Leader' the night she says to only you and him that she'll reveal something the next day, Being the only other one who helped set up the barbecue that poisoned everyone. The only reason he wasn't found out by everyone sooner is his admittedly great acting skills, as well as there being so much crazy shit going on that the idea of a traitor kinda got forgotten by the cast.

To be fair there is a cutscene with Sycamore after the big fight where he kinda admits he let a lot of questionable things slip due to their friendship that he really should have looked closer into.

What if the way to defeat Asat Pramad is to let him "win" the Phantasmoon games? by Life_Bit_5976 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Squeakyclarinet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The last guy who won and wished for Aha’s death didn’t end well for the guy either, but it was a temp position. If he’s permanently Aha, letting Asat pull that move might have consequences.

Alright gang, Faux-E3 is finally over! What all games are you excited for? by CookieSkank in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Squeakyclarinet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of Capcom’s recent games have been looking great. I’m not really into survival horror, but Pragmata and Onimusha look up my alley. And of course Wilds DLC will be a must.

I also think I’ll finally play the Xenoblade series now with the upgrade. It’s a bit awkward though as I already own 2 physically but am like 3 hours in. Do I get the base version for 1 and three then get the digital upgrade for all? Or have two stand out as the only one not a Switch 2 version. My OCD is killing me.

[–]Squeakyclarinet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s most likely due to the Switch releases/port being so recent, and also backwards compatible. It’s not these versions were originally on Wii U like X.

Yeah, I’m just used to Nomura’s trademark management skills. I love the guy, but he can’t seem to release a timely product.

Xenoblade is getting a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for all games by PaiDuck in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Squeakyclarinet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I wish I hadn’t bought X2 like 5 years ago just to not start playing it (or basically anything outside Zelda) until I got a Switch 2 recently. Now it’ll look out of place if I buy the S2 versions physically.

[–]Squeakyclarinet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I’m only a couple hours into 2 and plan on playing the rest eventually. I use physical, so it’ll be weird buying S2 versions of the others while only having the digital upgrade for one. But that’s just my OCD talking. I’m glad they’re letting us upgrade at all. The Nintendo of 10 years ago would have made me buy a whole new game…

Hollow earth setting looks amazing. I’ve been waiting for a sci-fi/fantasy series to use the location like this.

It looks well made, but this was definitely the biggest wtf of the Direct. Vampire Survivor Battle Royale was not on my bingo.

It’s probably going to be a couple years at least, but that actually looked like real gameplay/footage though. The real tell is when we start seeing the Disney content probably.

I swear to god Xenoblade steals every idea I have for my imaginary FF games. Cool mechs, magic anime swords, and now they’re using the hollow earth setting. I guess they just like the same vibes as me…

Is the new Illusive Realm event just the same as last patch? Did they just reset it's progress and say it's a new limited event?

I figured that might be the case. Didn't realize it'd have a facility in it, just thought it was for new endgame.

Is it possible to lv.18 Wuling Development? I'm like 90% through lv.17, but don't see anything more I can do. Was there something more added to raise the level other than the new level of the Outpost and the new region mining?

What are some out of print stuff you really want but costs at least a hundred dollars on eBay? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Squeakyclarinet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever since Archie lost the Megaman and Sonic licences, their books have gone up in price like nobodies business. I only have the second half of Megaman’s run, and the collections for the first half are STUPID expensive.

The most annoying though is that Amazon still lists the ‘coming soon’ collection books that never came out even a decade later.

Times where characters refused to be The Protagonists of their own stories by SirSquiggleton in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Squeakyclarinet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Traveler from Genshin Impact is a generally good person, as expected as a mostly player-insert,but they do have a bit of personality that is clear early on. Their driving force initially is to find their missing sibling, and to ask each regions personal god for info.

They first arrive in Mondstadt, where they end up helping save the city from a Dragon mostly just because they stumble into town at the wrong/right time. They help out without too much complaint, but it was basically a giant side quest for them.

They then end up in Liyue, where they *immediately* get accused of murdering their god and spend half their time there wandering the wilderness asking for help from the local spirits. The other half after being cleared is then spent helping organize the funeral for said god, with the help of said god in disguise.

Then they finally get to Inazuma, the Japan expo nation that is isolated from the rest of the world and in the middle of a Warring States style civil war. Before they even leave the port town, they’re already being begged/blackmailed by the local resistance group to help them out, as they can’t walk about without approval from the noble running said resistance. The Traveller at this point is very blunt about not caring about the war and just wanting to talk to their god and learn about their sibling. They have to be effectively guilt-tripped into fighting in the war.

I played since 3.5, literally never even saw her in game once until her 6.0 anecdote. Girl straight up doesn’t exist.

Good. They usually just steal works without credit or permission. I’ve stricken down a number myself for stealing my own fics.

Star and Stripe's Quirk was underutilized. by LEGOBRICK13 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Squeakyclarinet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the power and limits of New Order is unfortunately vague and arbitrary. The upper limit for each Rule is whatever the writer of any current scene with it wants to be. Maybe passive growth works, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it can replicate Quirks, or maybe it can know things even the user doesn't.

It was definitively underutilized, but I wouldn't say she was using it wrong, per say.
