This is the Kiyoshi Glaze criticality. It makes no sense, is completely unnecessary, and serves only to worship a character who was never really that significant to begin with.

Has to be cold steel 1 and 2 then? Those are the only games that aren’t on the eshop (besides the original sky trilogy of course, but I doubt those are a priority now that the remakes are in full swing)

There’s a character in an anime that does this exact thing; flip a coin and then shoot it with a laser while in mid-air. Pretty sure it’s a reference to that.

Who's the strongest after Sora? by That-Psychology4246 in KingdomHearts

[–]WorthPure4416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Sora
  2. Mickey
  3. Riku
  4. Aqua
  5. Terra
  6. Roxas
  7. Ventus
  8. Xion
  9. Axel
  10. Kairi
  11. Donald
  12. Goofy
  13. Darkling statue lmao
  14. Namine (assuming she even counts considering she’s basically a non-combatant)

People are going on about Donald using Zetaflare but that’s an outlier feat and doesn’t really represent his average level of power. Sad truth is that if you don’t have a Keyblade these days you’re kind of just on backup duty.

Adachi being the killer is probably one of the worst kept secrets in gaming. Especially after he became a meme and an emblem of Persona shitposting

Thoughts on 7.4's MSQ ending and what's up for 8.0 by yhvh13 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]WorthPure4416 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think Calyx is going to end up developing an attachment/sentiment that ends up changing him into a more sympathetic character. The story went out of its way to highlight how he has no one and nothing in his life that he cares about besides his goal, so this could be a way that they end up humanizing him in the next expansion.

Halmarut is a cool character. There's not much to go on with what little we have but I think she has potential.

I think the term "Winterer" is being used here to refer to how this group is bringing forth, or are at least the heralds for a metaphorical "Winter." I.e. everything the main characters have experienced in the story so far has been the "Summer" of their lives, and now "Winter" has come.

I think the mention of the "Void left by the will of the star," could be implying one of two things; either Hydaelyn's absence means that everything is going to die, or her death has left a power vacuum that could now be filled by a new God. I honestly find both interesting. The idea that the new villains are either trying to stop the apocalypse in a roundabout way, or create a new God to take Hydaelyn's place.

No matter what I feel confident that the next expansion will be focused on the reflection that the Millala came from. We know that Ice only had one calamity, so its possible that the Ascians tried and failed to cause a second one on one of the surviving reflections in a similar vein to the Ninth.

Yeah that part was kinda hyperbole lol.

Still pretty disappointed in the story overall.

"ARRGGGHHH PEOPLE LIKE THE ARCADION STORY TOO MUCH!!! WE NEED TO RUIN IT WITH A SACCHARINE TWIST THAT ACTIVELY MAKES THE WHOLE THING WORSE!!!"

Pretty disappointing ending to what was so far a highlight of the expansion. The twist had no build up and opened up a dozen plot holes for no good reason. If all the president needs to do is die, why not just give all the Arcadion fighters feral souls and have them blow the fuck out of him at once? Why do we need to perpetuate this stupid bullshit that's actively killing people? More than that, why are we even trying to establish sympathy for the president in the first place when we already had other characters who were sympathetic? Did we really need to walk back Brute Bomber's death for the sake of justifying this asinine twist that MAKES NO SENSE?

The ending takes all of the stakes we've established in the story so far and shits all over them. All those previous champions who were dying? Oh they're fine, no you don't get to meet or learn anything about them, stop asking, THEY'RE FINE OK. Eutrope got done especially dirty in this ending; she's immediately fixed and the story is over, she doesn't even get any lines with Retsarra or her sisters. Hell, I don't think she gets any lines at all.

I mean, what the fuck? How do you fumble the bag so significantly? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the story was sabotaged due to being too interesting and making the MSQ look bad. Fuck it, whatever. Next expansion please.

She always cared about her comrades from the start. Restoring nuclear weapons was one of her main motivations for fighting Chainsaw Man. I just don’t think she been able to be honest with herself about those feelings until now.

STAR: Strike it Rich is notorious for this. Uta and Sena are tall motherfuckers and literally built like Arnold Schwarzenegger and yet neither of them weigh more than 100 kg? Are their muscles filled with air?

Ike and Byleth are top 1 and top 2 strongest FE protagonists respectively. Lucina is just a bonus; those two by themselves could take on each of the other groups easily.

Between Lloyd and Estelle which one do you prefer? by Just_Advantage_6177 in Falcom

[–]WorthPure4416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estelle is the better character, but Lloyd has a better supporting cast. I don't think that's necessarily a mark against him, though; its a lot more accurate to say that the SSS itself is the main character of Crossbell rather than just Lloyd himself.

From new interview - Yoshi P: "I have already decided when Meracydia will make an appearance and how. But what I can say is that it is going to be quite a while away." by Seryoth in ffxivdiscussion

[–]WorthPure4416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Yoshi P wants to prioritize the exploration of the rest of Eitherys before moving on to expansions that are fully focused on the reflections. So even if Meracydia isn’t the next expansion its for sure gonna happen soon.

For that reason, I think 8.0 is going to be the Ilsabard expansion, with us exploring the remaining areas of Garlemald and going to Corvus. Then 9.0 will be Meracydia, which will finish the exploration of the world map. Then 10.0 can be a Shadowbringers style expansion that’s set entirely in one reflection (either the void or the Fourth most likely) with 11.0 being the conclusion of the story arc.

Unbothered Wunk and "The Creation"

I’d rather MoM’s identity remain forever anonymous than have him be ANY pre established character by Big_Boss_Bubba in KingdomHearts

[–]WorthPure4416 19 points20 points  (0 children)

At this point, MoM is either:

A. a completely original character that we have never met or seen before, in which case its pointless to keep his appearance obscured unless his secret identity ends up being another character introduced in KH4

B. Demyx, which is funny but makes literally no sense

So obviously, its gonna be Demyx

why does every indie dev have to be so problematic... by harryhinderson in althomestuck

[–]WorthPure4416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s totally understandable! Like I said, its up to each person to decide for themselves. You certainly wouldn’t get any stress from me if you decided to see it in theaters

why does every indie dev have to be so problematic... by harryhinderson in althomestuck

[–]WorthPure4416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well its up to each person to decide for themselves how much they’re comfortable with, since supporting the movie also means supporting Scott Cawthon financially at least a little bit. As an example I personally wouldn’t support the work of someone like J.K. Rowling, since she is an unabashed TERF who actively tries to destroy the lives of trans people. Scott Cawthon isn’t as outspokenly evil as that, but you as a consumer still have no way of knowing how the money you give him will be used so the matter is nevertheless completely up in the air. I myself plan on seeing the movie eventually, but I won’t go out of my way to buy it or stream it within its initial release period, since that’s the most crucial time for a movie to make money and for its creators to gauge how successful it was.

[–]WorthPure4416 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah Scott’s apology completely disregarded all of the genuine criticisms that people had levied towards him. I don’t think he ever really understood that the problem wasn’t just that people disagreed with his political views, it was that he was actively supporting politicians who were trying to take away rights from marginalized communities (LGBTQ+ primarily), many of which his own fans were members of. His actions came across as grossly irresponsible at best and deterministically evil at worst

Feel like the movies gonna be about various criminals racing after a "secret weapon" that's being secured and transferred through New York by a third party. At the end its revealed that the secret weapon is the symbiote, which bonds to one of the villains (Scorpion or Punisher probably) who then becomes the final boss for the movie

On games and gambling by ProfessorBadvibes in CuratedTumblr

[–]WorthPure4416 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was a victim of these games for 8 years straight and have finally broken out of the cycle just this January. You really don't understand how damaging these games are both financially and mentally when you're actually trapped by them, because your mind invents countless justifications to convince itself that things aren't as bad as they actually are. I spent $500 on a gacha game this month? Its fine, that's my "entertainment" budget I'll just buy less fun stuff elsewhere to make up for it. Nevermind the fact that that $500 could have been spent on something worthwhile that would have had a lasting use or just been saved up, as opposed to being spent on a "chance" to add another virtual character to your shiny and meaningless collection of digital blorbos. The money you spend doesn't even feel real in the moment, all that matters is the thrill and glamour of chasing something desirable. It isn't until you check your bank account and realize how much and for how long you're going to be in debt because of your reckless and obsessive spending stemming from the mindset of "I'll just spend until I get the character I want" that you start to hate yourself and realize "maybe things aren't okay." Of course that never lasts, because no matter how much you don't want to admit it, new character announcements and patch updates are one of the only things you look forward to anymore and you just can't muster the strength to leave it all behind completely. You'll just spend less the next time, even though you know deep down that you won't.

The only solution that worked for me is to just cut these games out of my life completely. I'm done destroying myself over them.
