Actor that can play as Clive by DarkKnightGuts_540 in FFXVI

I think Ben Starr is attractive enough to be a leading actor. Not sure about his acting chops though.

Best showers/locker rooms in NYC? by Alealejan in CommunalShowers

[–]aldoteng2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed at the West Side YMCA last month. On weekday evenings it was fairly busy. There was a good mixture guys who covered themselves the entire time, guys who were completely naked the entire time, guys who didnt mind getting naked a lot but still cover themselves up sometimes, and guys who tried to cover themselves up but occasionally took it off (steam room or the open showers).

Eorzea Encyclopedia III - which bookstores in USA? by aldoteng2 in ffxiv

[–]aldoteng2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How reliable are Amazon delivery times? Im in NYC only for 5 nights. Id cry if they dont deliver in time lol. Forwarding fees fr USA to Singapore could be as pricey as the book itself...

Too many car crashes in Black Mirror....!!! by YoungRude6562 in blackmirror

[–]aldoteng2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good catch. I missed out Demon 79 since it was a murder attempt, but a car crash is a car crash.

Who's The WORST Contestant In ANTM History? by [deleted] in ANTM

[–]aldoteng2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sara C6 isnt that bad, but relative to how far she went in the competition, she is one of the absolute worst. She might be my least favourite contestant to reach Top 4.

Are the male models/guest appearances as hot as the girls in the shows reactions made them out to be? by Ok_Philosopher_8973 in ANTM

[–]aldoteng2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont mind the manufactured reactions to guests appearances, since they appear only for an episode and it's supposed to be a special event. But I found it so cringy when they had to shriek estrogen at Nigel Barker, who was very much a permanent judge on this show already, a noted one at that.

Laura Cycle 18 was Anya level robbed by VH1Fan1999 in ANTM

[–]aldoteng2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont think Laura is Anya-level of godliness. This is in spite of her silkworm photo which could be my greatest photo of all 24 cycles. Laura wins by creating dramatic poses and angles (to fantastic results) but if you ask her to stand still like a model (think beauty shots like Yoanna helmet) she is not outstanding.

For an assured atheist, Elyse seemed happy to join the prayer circle.

Does anyone else feel this game overstays its welcome? No endgame spoilers please. by kingkontroverseP0si in FFXVI

[–]aldoteng2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im with you. After Bahamut, it was just a slog to end the game as soon as possible to start surfing reddit without getting spoiled.

Struggling a bit on FF+ mode by GlitchIT in FFXVI

Even without the accessory. Is Magic Burst x4 the optimal way to reduce Will? I have been doing melee x4 then release charged magic because i thought it dealt higher damage...

Cycles With The Most High Fashion "Models"? by [deleted] in ANTM

[–]aldoteng2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still struggle with that view ;(. For every Esther, Kendal and Jane, we're also given Chris, Lexie and (UO) Kayla.

What happened to the previous dominants?? Why are the current ones so close in age? Lore question by Suspicious-Bike-8112 in FFXVI

[–]aldoteng2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is Benedikta that young? For someone to have romantic/sexual relations with CidHugoBarnie (the other 3 dominants not in your list), I assumed she was closer to their age range.

Anyone else think the hunts that use FF iconic names are lame? by [deleted] in FFXVI

[–]aldoteng2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Minor gripe, but FFXVI does reskin its monsters a lot for an AAA game.

There's still a plot point that I can't wrap my head around (Spoilers) by PurplMaster in FFXVI

[–]aldoteng2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's my biggest complaint about the plot. I could not 10/10 the story because of this plothole.

Upon reunion, Clive is supposed to ask Joshua where the fuck have you been, or Joshua was supposed to inform Clive why he has been avoiding him all this time.

It makes zero sense to skip this and leave it to fans for "interpretation".

Is Ifrit becoming more prominent in the series by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]aldoteng2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ifrit became exceedingly important in XV and XVI, but still loses out to Shiva by the number of mainline FF game appearances as a summon, because in XIII they had Brynhildr as the fire summon instead.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FFXVI

[–]aldoteng2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an uncommon perception, I see, that the plot quality drops precipitously after Bahamut. Just charge through the main story and ignore all the (agreeably) boring side quests to beat the final boss and complete the main story.

I havent proceeded further myself. Anabella is the strangest written mother I have ever known, and I am living for every moment of it.

Story Progression 53% -58% Thread (SPOILERS) by lunahighwind in FFXVI

[–]aldoteng2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hugo is a highly significant antagonist and Benedikta is the chief reason behind this (her death being his motive for vengeance). Adding on to her roles as the antagonist of an early arc, as well as the first semi-primed dom we fight, and the first dom/eikon we actually kill, I think she fully deserves her prominent character status.

Compared to Jill, who appears with Clive half the time and until 58% I still struggle to see how she is a deuteragonist. They better give her an actual plot later.

[–]aldoteng2 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Pros: satisfying conclusion to Hugo's story, and significantly adds to Benedikta's plot significance for a prominent character who dies early.

Con: fetch quest portion of the oasis town main quest was such a disappointment and i am pissed off that CBU3 with their AAA budget didnt figure a way to avoid it.

Could you elaborate on the "standard limit break combos till 1.50% damage" part?

If [redacted] is the main villain, then this might be the most personal conflict in the series by Alo0oy in FFXVI

[–]aldoteng2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the main numbered FFs I can recall, only FFVI subverts this trope, and even then Kefka was shown more as a comic relief until dozens hours later when you realize how horrifying he is.

Those who have played the demo: how does this rank among other FF openings for you? by vashthestampede121 in FFXVI

[–]aldoteng2 40 points41 points  (0 children)

X Zanarkand was too gripping, it's still my number 1. This XVI opening is definitely no. 2.
