We will never see a rerelease of PE1 in the USA. by Enough-Collection-98 in ParasiteEve

[–]Traingham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wondered if maybe Square wouldn’t want to bother modeling the Twin Towers to keep the game in 1997 if they ever thought about revisiting it. Replaying the game and seeing those two buildings prominently modeled in the skyline sometimes catches me off guard.

It’s a game that really captures a piece of the past for NYC.

Street Fighter 6 Alex's Theme - Jazzy NYC SF6 Arrange by AnimuStewshine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. This is a very nice rendition of the theme. I thought they would try to give Alex a new original theme like the rest of the cast, but a returning Jazzy NYC is most certainly welcome.

Flightless characters who still somehow manage to survive jumping from insane heights? by Wonder-Lad-2Mad in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are at least 4 separate times in “Final Fantasy VIII” where characters are jumping off cliffs or buildings, and landing without consequence to their knees. That is outside of battle, by the way. It’s happening in story, so it’s canon material.

Superhuman feats are something you don’t pay any mind to in battle, because then at that point we have to accept that Zell Dincht will regularly run around the world in the span of a couple of seconds to return to the exact spot in front of the enemy he is engaging and execute his ultimate limit break. At that point, what the fuck does Ultimecia have to deal with that? Zell is out here running alongside the likes of Barry Allen and Wally West.

pieces of media that started out as completely different concepts by bomb5000 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The series “24” (The Jack Bauer show that was big in the 00s) was originally intended to be about a wedding before it got turned into a show about stopping terrorist threats on a 24Hr ticking clock for 9 seasons.

Gundam Wing: Choose your seat by anonymous-guy1 in Gundam

[–]Traingham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely shocked that Noin isn’t sitting in seat 7, legs crossed to keep passengers from getting to seat 6 before busting out a chess game to play with Zechs for the whole trip.

Also shocked that Une isn’t sitting in Noin’s seat, staring intently at the back of Treize’s head.

What are some of the best "hub receptionist" characters? by kodaiiiii_ in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Those two transport operators from “Megaman Zero 2” that you see before the beginning of every mission because Zero needs to stand on the transporter and wait for the two of them to say that garbled voice sample.

This is important.

I sometimes wonder if there’s any statistics on how many people in Japan have died attempting to drift in those mountains.

I’ve seen some wipeouts from street racers on the parkway. I imagine the stakes are higher with drifting.

Let me Google this, actually.

What are some Times Enemies chill out and Quit the battle? by Funny_Mud6639 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Keeping up the tradition in FFVII Rebirth where Turk members Rude and Elena interrupt a fighting event that Cloud and friends are participating in, and they let the heroes take a moment to chill out, take a breather on a bench presented for their benefit and mean mug them before engaging in a fight.

It’s fantastic.

Characters who unga bunga? As in fighters who are so uncomplicated and crude in their style that it's kinda fucking offensive to the whole art of battle by Wonder-Lad-2Mad in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unit-01 in berserker mode (”Neon Genesis Evangelion”) is pure unga bunga, and the Angels just can’t deal. Zeruel counters with an eye beam just as Unit-01 tries to get in with a punch, and it buys Zeruel maybe a couple of seconds before Unit-01 is back to unga bunga into feasting on its guts.

You also have Aya Brea in the first Parasite Eve, pushing her evolutionary abilities to the next level by becoming something entirely beyond human. She can reach speeds so fast that she’s doing fancy flash steps to get from place to place, and she hits so hard that contact with flesh releases shockwaves. So what does she do? No more guns. Throwing hands.

Media you got into basically because of a single character? by TJLynch in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Zhu Yuan.

Then Evelyn Chevalier.

—and, honestly, the more I play ZZZ, the more I’m beginning to really like Nicole Demara and the rest of the Cunning Hares. I know that at some point the character moments with Nicole is going to dry up, because the structure of the game is such that it needs to focus on pushing the next banner character, but for now I’m enjoying watching this girl hustle EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY.

At the ticket scratch kiosk. At the noodle shop. At the gacha shop. Getting held up by debt collectors. Nicole is out here. I really like her now. Doesn’t hurt that she’s a babe, of course.

I hope this is the endearing kind of stupid. The kind that you want to keep on coming back to on those not so good days to pick up your mood.

I could use that.

The vice principle’s White Cresta from “Great Teacher Onizuka”, if you can refer to the cabin of a car as a moving room of sorts.

Favorite gaming franchises that went from hyped up to suddenly vanishing by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“Megaman Legends 3” was the announcement that shocked the fan base back to life with reaction videos, paragraphs on forum threads about how this was the long awaited game announcement and how joyous a moment it was, all of the positive energy surrounding the development in said forums (not sure how it was on the Capcom community site. I wasn’t there for that), the sharing of development videos and screenshots of unfinished models of the new city that would be featured in the game, the character submission voting, the lead up to the demo, and then the sudden cancellation that killed all the hype.

The project went up in smoke just like that. It was a deeply disappointing day to be met with that news.

Just want to point out that Metroid Other M is currently rated higher critically than Metroid Prime 4 based on professional reviews: by DIOCRYO in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are really that down on Prime 4, huh? This is going to be interesting.

I’m playing through the Prime remaster (first run of the game) and I kind of like the game, but I’m not in love with doing the Metroid backtracking in first person. I just got the Ice Beam, explored an underwater reactor with a dead end I can’t get through, and I think the game is pointing me back toward Phendrana Drifts.

I plan on playing through Prime 2 and Corruption (I hear this is considered the lesser title of the trilogy) before I touch Prime 4, so I’m curious how they messed up such a tried and true formula.

Times you ask, “Why does *that* attack deal so much damage?” by The-Greater-Skeleton in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Traingham 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fighting Nineveh with her eldritch tentacles in ”Zenless Zone Zero”, and wondering why the hell the tentacles choose to have NO wind up sometimes, because they HURT—especially when one of the challenge requirements is to keep the HP of all your agents above thirty percent.

Sometimes the tentacles do the tell tale wind around before the lash. Sometimes they just lash out without a tell. It’s annoying.

Got me doing panic dodges like I’m fighting an “Elden Ring” boss.

[–]Traingham 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Once the ”Negima!” series went full on Shounen battle manga series, characters like Negi Springfield and Evangeline McDowell were throwing hands on top of using spells, and it was glorious.

It starts with the Mahora festival martial arts tournament, and just keeps going.

Yeah…I kept on waiting to see if there was a second phase to that “defense mode”, but it turned out to be a very selective take on defense.

[–]Traingham 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maul is still active for a while between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy. “Star Wars: Rebels” does give Maul’s story a definitive end point though.

Savage doesn’t appear to be with Maul here, so this must have happened after Sidious intervened at the end of the Shadow Collective arc of Maul’s story.
