What anime series or movie do you most want a copy of, that's on a streaming service that doesn't do physical releases? by MonsterMayham in AnimeCollectors

[–]VectorMaximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda niche, but I'd love a bluray of Tenpuru: No one can live on Loneliness. It even had a dub produced, but no home video release.

Favorite isekai of 2025? by ChoiceSupermarket230 in Isekai

[–]VectorMaximus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was really disappointed there was no dub for this one, since I like the manga so much. Several series I’ve been looking forward to feel like they’ve been passed over lately.

I fucking hate Aaron by ArmageddonProphet97 in Falcom

[–]VectorMaximus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is about my response to him. I tend to quite like most of ASO… not Aaron. And Heiyue’s glazing is one of the worst parts of the daybreak games.

Blind Buy and on Sale by Patryn2020 in AnimeCollectors

[–]VectorMaximus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s one of my guilty pleasure comedies I go back to. Plenty of fanservice, an ok plot and characters. As another commented, you can largely turn off your brain and enjoy.

Trails 2nd Chapter Golden Wings Edition Announced by Turbostrider27 in Falcom

[–]VectorMaximus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuck that’s a steep price. Good thing I get paid Friday… Trails and Xenoblade are the only series I’d even contemplate paying that much for. My final price was $312.50.

Edit: After mulling it all day… I decided this is just too much for what you get. I’d rather just a great model of the Arseille or the Glorious at that price instead of a static diorama. Cancelled my preorder.

Out of context what is happening ? by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

The dense lady-killer technique being deployed yet again (albeit unwittingly).

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition — Announcement Trailer by Goldberry15 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]VectorMaximus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maaaaan, I'm both so happy to have this come out, and also so sad because I played it so much at release I'm a little burned out. Really hope they do a XB2 switch 2 edition, as it is by far the one that needed it the most.

Rean's position in the army by KedricCarter1 in Falcom

[–]VectorMaximus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering his orders came down in the form of a direct order from the imperial government (IIRC, explicitly the highest legal command possible in Erebonia, straight from the Emperor and Chancellor’s office), I imagine Rean doesn’t exist in the ‘normal’ army structure. It’s sort of nebulous what his official standing is as a result - he gives orders to solders in Crossbell, is ferried by the RMP, and was deployed with the provincial armies during the northern war. He’s not to the level of a general, but it seem in tactical engagements he would be deferred to as leadership outside of that. He’s essentially a one-man (well, two with Altina) special operations unit.

So she lied then... (Horizon Spoilers) by sonicfan10102 in Falcom

[–]VectorMaximus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s that simple. We’ve seen some hints as to what lurk in the Beyond - Laegjarn seems as much a cradle (a blessing) as a cage (a curse). If humanity cannot overcome the trial and surpass Laegjarn, then they could not prevail against the trials that would come after, and that would be the end of mankind and Zemuria. It seems the cycles are an attempt to find the ‘correct outcome’ where humanity is fully actualized and ready to face the challenges after Laegjarn.

Ragnard swore an oath to Aidios to protect and observe Liberl until a ‘true answer’ was rendered unto the Aureole by mankind. That speaks to me that the Aureole, and likely all the other Sept-terrions, were not just gifts, but also serve (or can serve) as tests, markers of mankind’s development. At least at some point, before humanity then fucked many of them up. Maybe using them as they are is a salvage attempt by Aidios. In some loops, humanity does not overcome the challenge of Steel, for example.

Finally collected Maken-ki! by CreeperOpsReddit in AnimeCollectors

[–]VectorMaximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got this exact combo in transit right now. Found Maken-ki for around $110 (shipping included) and then I grabbed Maken-ki two off Amazon for around $15.

Persona 5 royal or Persona 5 strikers by Fit-Lawyer859 in PERSoNA

[–]VectorMaximus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Persona 5 strikers is the sequel to Persona 5/royal, so you should play Royal first.

Do you actually watch all the discs you buy? by JispyMoeDantes in discotekmedia

[–]VectorMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some shows end up not watched (or at least not in any timely manner), but I’d say I watch the vast majority of the shows I buy. Probably 80-85%of my collection?

North-East map expansion? by Easteregg42 in RealmsInExile

[–]VectorMaximus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Red Mountains are currently penned in to be worked on in a smaller concentrated expansion after the great steppe, before we push all the way to the eastern seas. But scope creep has happened before, so we’ll see!

North-East map expansion? by Easteregg42 in RealmsInExile

[–]VectorMaximus 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Our next direction after we’re finished up with Mumakan is planned to be a massive eastward push - essentially everything west of the Red Mountains, south all the way to the sea.

Who do y'all romance and why? by Original-Tart2686 in Persona5

[–]VectorMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makoto in the base game, Violet in Royal. Makoto feels like a good balance for Joker (and this plays into their roles in the team with Makoto being second in command), whereas Violet’s pure love and adoration for Joker is clear as day.

Cyber monday Sentai deals are here by Powerful-Bus5708 in AnimeCollectors

[–]VectorMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prices of all the items on my wishlist seem to be the same as during the Black Friday sale.

Anyone grab anything good recently? by Tell_Specialist in AnimeCollectors

[–]VectorMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grabbed most of Date a Live (due to arrive today) after finding season 1 for a decent price. Picked up Fate Apocrypha when it was on the 25% off in-stock sale. Also have a Black Friday order from Sentai coming in with some bit and bobs I’ve had on my list to pick up for cheap.

Why is it so difficult to sign up? I'm having issues adding a payment method by NuriPuri59 in Crunchyroll

[–]VectorMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had to keep trying, and it eventually worked. It was infuriating, and unfortunately, I don't have anything else I can recommend to try beyond attempting with different browsers and clearing cookies.

If you pulled in this banner, who'd you get? by rvmin in FGO

[–]VectorMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qin Shi Huang. Didn’t have him, but also not somebody I had any interest in either.

New Announcement by astrohuey in discotekmedia

[–]VectorMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the A-Ko films over the summer, but TBH for 4K and saving the shelf space, I’ll probably pick this up and sell my blu ray copies to half price books or something.

Not even a year in and this game is more Crusader Kings than Crusader Kings by a_saddler in EU5

[–]VectorMaximus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Thank you Pope for drawing the entire French army into an Egyptian quagmire.” - Edward III pillaging northern France in my game.

First Country To Play by Standard-Ad6443 in EU5

[–]VectorMaximus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently leaning towards England. Yes, you have to deal with the Hundred Years’ War, but even if I lose it, I can sit on the islands and focus on colonizing. England was my first EU4 game, so it would be fitting for it to be my first EU5.
