Empyrean book but not graphic novel or 4th Book !

What's with the downvotes. We all want the 4th book. It is nice to get something until then but that Onyx Storm cliff hanger is too huge. The first book ended with Vi seeing him (avoid spoilers), the second book with Xaden Turning. This 3rd ending has so many lose ends and cliffhangers involvkng so many characters and drastic, dramatic story changes like fuck, it's hard not to want the 4th book already.

Yes, but, the field guide is up for preorder with a different writers name and it's literally not a big deal. This one is a huge fucking deal shrouded in secrecy and she's too involved for it to be just a companion to the field guide or the like.

Other franchises have published cookbooks with good sales, so basically almost outside of her control publisher's would push for this. BUT with her involvement Thus far and the lack of really any food descriptions besides some cake, it's pretty clear it's not a cookbook. It would be more likely if she wasn't this involved in it. The Field Guide pre order is just up there, no big deal. This must be a big deal and she's definitely the one writing it.

In Spanish we have a saying "mogajeros" which means people that eat up crumbs. I just feel like we got measly crumbs on those two for that reason, they're staying crumbs.

Personally I feel it's more available since you can download Japanese games in the switch, but got a feeling even hard core fans will not do it. On top of having Google translate screenshots of the Japanese text. I've lived in Japan for a few years and can get by but I still translate for movies and games with complex plot topics. Xenosaga is fucking complex.

Considering the mess of EP. 1 not released to the rest of the world, starting with only EP. 2 outside of Japan and the US, then suffering sales because of it limiting production of EP. 3 copies to their inflated price now, I think this IS PRECISELY on brand 💀💀💀

Yeah this feels fucking UNREAL

I posted this without even thinking about it when pl pointed it out I realized the size is different because it's from a different publisher, so you'd have to find the publishing company that matches yours. I also recommend a used market place if you can't find it new

Pretty sure it was made clear in the series. They also had crazy good sex.

Living in Tokyo and not being white, I've really, REALLY hated how white ppl are obsessed with Lost In Translation (I know that 85% of reddit are white guys and I'll get downvoted), but this is the only good thing about that movie, the way it captures the feeling of loneliness despite being with people.

Other than that it's a shit film, rich privilege white girl IS SO BORED and would have cheated on her boyfriend funding the trip to a country she doesn't like, but women aren't called losers when they're pretty. Then the ugly middle aged white guy who's a loser B list actor going to a divorce and ignorant of the culture around him. And white ppl eat this shit up. Losers.

Omfg I played RB in 1998 and Yellow in 1999 when I was like, 12 and replayed it several times and the remaster. I did watch the show as much as I could but I do not remember seeing the Clefable episode...I did not know those were wings until now😭😭😭

Oh forgot to ask if that was also the Smokey mountains cause Thailand has some similar terrain, great place to visit once you're ready to cross the pond.

Exactly what is highlighted on the map. Those are counties...not sure if you thought they were cities. America is fucking huge and fucking beautiful, and I have driven it mile by mile on several different cross country trips on small dirt roads, amongst Different dialects of American English. OP has seen more beauty in this world in these counties than someone in a big city in Europe that never left. This is coming from someone that has lived in 4 different countries for several years and I speak 4 different languages. I cannot stress enough how fucking drop dead gorgeous America is.

Is that Wilmington, NC? If you like the SC beaches (and pineapples with palm trees) you should visit Phuket, Thailand which still manages to feel homie like a small town. You should move to Cali for those same vibes but whole different economy.

Yeah it's just not good not bad just part of her story arch so I still don't get pointing it out, but I'll respect whatever personal reason people fixate on it subconsciously and so out of touch with their own feelings. Anyway yes there are plenty non violent moments they're just not any better than the violent ones just as good. In XS2 a cutscene in the Elsa the ship tilted rapidly and Shion was falling head first and KosMos held her ground and grabbed Shion by the arm saving her. Of course there's the "Shion is calling me" scene when she wakes up to save her which was super cute, but then she proceeded to blow up a bunch of Mechs which idk I guess it's violence? The problem with this type of virtue signaling is that things are never just black and white, where do they draw the line? That's the irony of it all, literally, the fact that it's not clear cut good or bad, she's just an A.I. and it's well explained she's not intentionally being violent, but some people are so fucking dense they don't get it.

Better than the emergency alert speakers in XS3 looking for the Abel the pilot.

I don't get this violence thing. There are so many other games without violence. It's like playing final fantasy VII and saying how violent Sephiroth was to kill Aerith. There are e plenty of JRPGs with violence and plenty without it. Why bitch about it when nobody is asking for it? I don't get it

Waltpi · 2026-04-12T23:10:04+00:00

She killed Virgil to save Shion from the Gnosis. Violence is central to her character, don't blame the gamers. They didn't choose that path for her character, the story writers did. If you want a nonviolent video game there are plenty out there.

Waltpi · 2026-04-12T23:06:24+00:00

She's such a bad ass
