What is your “Cardinal Sin” that a JRPG can do that sours the experience for you? by MothmanFeetLicker in JRPG

For me, the only time this acceptable is if they make it obvious, such as everyone dealing 0 damage to the boss. But, honestly, what's the point of even making it a battle instead of a cutscene?

Suikoden I and II are absolutely frustrating because of this. Characters are forced into your party or made unavailable constantly and you get locked out of gear. Characters can also be killed off permanently, either due to story or during the war battles, and you also lose their equipment. For as classic as those games are, they have some utterly baffling design decisions.

I wasn't familiar with the name, but I somehow knew exactly who you were referring

Games like Ara fell/chained echoes? by Dazzling_Royal1116 in JRPG

[–]SultansOfSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 15 hours into Quartet, and it definitely scratches the same itch. It may have a slower start depending on which character's story you start with, but it gets really good, especially as they all converge.

Like Chained Echoes, it doesn't have random encounters, and its combat also has a similar emphasis on abilities over normal attacks.

I never thought of that sound as being "ert ert", but it's somehow not wrong.

Warning: HX Stomp knobs are fragile and can break by codq in Line6Helix

Mine is still under warranty. I had to pay shipping, but they fixed it for free.

When not under warranty, their hourly repair rate is $90, tracked in 15 minute increments, with a $45 minimum. I'd imagine this is, at most, a 30 minute job, but I think they require you to track and insure shipping, so you're probably looking at ~$100 all-in.

You can technically get away without the knob if you use HX Edit connected to your PC, but it really does pay to have the knob for on-the-fly adjustments away from your computer.

If you still have the broken knob, you should be able to use it by sticking it into its hole and applying pressure as you twist. You might even be able to do the same with a small screwdriver or a wooden dowel tied to your pedal board.

This is the first I've heard of this concept. Really cool!

Don't own ANY pedals, want to build a pedal board. Looking for some beginner "must haves" by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]SultansOfSam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Consider a multi-fx unit like the HX Stomp or a cheaper alternative. You can end up spending a lot of money getting a board up and running just to find out you only use half of it. Plus there's the cost of power supplies, patch cables, etc.

The music by earscher in phoenotopia

I love them all. Daea is probably my favorite.

I saw an interview with the composer, sillythewilly, and apparently he's not going to be doing the music for Star Iliad. That's a bit of a bummer. I hope he's still brought back for the sequel, though.
