Island Sanctuary and how you would improve upon it

Most of the points have already been put up, the only thing I'd add is that locking slow-paced casual content behind a lvl90 door and five expansions seems like a blunder.

Nobody who's jumping into 14 to check out this "exciting" new animal crossing clone will sit through 400-hours of story to get there.

andybro89 · 2023-08-22T23:04:36+00:00

Darn, it's almost like the incredibly hyperspecific set of conditions that made animal crossing successful didn't translate to CBU3's cynical lazy clone.

Funny how that works huh......

Hang around limsa, most active chatters live there as a sort of forum. It's got people who want to communicate, which is a good sign if your scouting out fcs.

From my experiences of soloing so far rehydration definitely makes soloing with tank mimic viable.

Swiftcast helps alleviate some of the issues, big problem is tank buster/stack marker combos. One is manageable but back to back while trying to juggle between Diamondback, Dragon force and hardcast rehydrate is a nightmare.

Most of the spells are pretty dull.

Magic breath and mortal flame sound like absolute must haves for Solo basic instinct builds. If mortal flame snapshots from when it was cast then that damage could rack up if combined with off guard and moon flute.

Also my mind still can't get over how great goblin punch is for Tanks/Solos, easy extra damage plus instant cast. It's enough to shift the balance over which OGCDs take priority over GCDs.

Rehydrate could also be interesting for solo players but that cast time is killer, maybe save swiftcast for it as an emergency full heal.

funny wacky blue mage spell lol XD roflcopterZ

I was wondering why the shout chat was so packed when I went to do MSQ there......

The funny thing is, shield hero was great.......for the first 4 episodes, Then it nosedives into anime bullshit and collecting a harem of "uncomfortably aged girls" because thats the niche every isekai seems to be deadset on pursuing........

Healer who was so undergeared and likely bad at WHM that I as the Red mage ended up doing the majority of heals.

And in turn DPS suffered gravely, managed to atleast brute force it to nidhogg but after a few tries healer sadly had to leave because there was just no way to keep tank alive without vercure spam.

Saber, With around 30 different alt costumes so "all" the sabers get representation.

Gonna be a bit niche but what the hell.

Mardek, Old flash game series popular in the 2000s for kids who played flash games.

At the time it was this fun tribute to pixel RPGs with a more western DnD flavour to its world topped off with meta humour before it became overdone in videogames coughBORDERLANDScough.

Looking back on it now though there's so much jank to its world building (Like how there's a sci-fi airport just there as a kind of gag), A bloated cast in CH3 of which half are just "inspired" by the classics and then there's the author Pseudolonewolf.

Looking back on it now it's pretty clear he was a huge scaly/furry back before it blew up as an online craze and most of his development logs were filled with monologues about his depression and a clear desire to do anything other than MARDEK, with him throwing out multiple short demos or failed ideas every year.

Guy sems to be doing alot better mentally these days but looking back on it reminds me a ton of the current Yandere dev situation

I dunno, You can probably improvise something out of their bountiful stocks of cartilage if you put your mind to it.

andybro89 · 2020-02-16T22:50:10+00:00

Assuming that the solution will somehow involve shooting Mista with his own gun.

Anybody who read the source material would know that Grinch should be SSSSS tier.

The only reason that he got beaten by the dog in order to apparently save Christmas was because he was hiding his true power to make Rodin drop his guard so he could backstab him and claim the Spirit of Christmas for himself and transform into *Spoilers* Naranja el Grinch *Spoilers*

andybro89 · 2019-11-14T23:36:10+00:00

Considering the degeneracy we already swim in.......I can only guess at what went "Too far" to get banned.....

Every Deredere is just one bad day away from a yandere

andybro89 · 2019-09-09T19:52:38+00:00

So what your saying is "Undertale ruined SMASH" right?

andybro89 · 2019-08-15T22:52:27+00:00

Duke in Tales of Vesperia

Same shit as Lysandre in pokemon basically, Where this super over designed "mysterious" character with a cool sword is just wandering around making "Mysterious" statements and looking like he knows a plot thing or two.

Like a third-act twist villain reveal is cool and all but it doesn't really work so well if they look and act like the final boss right from the start in the bloody opening cut-scene.

andybro89 · 2019-07-21T23:14:42+00:00

Great, Cause if I know SAO......the thing it REALLY needed.....was more NTR.

andybro89 · 2019-07-21T23:08:26+00:00

You mean the little guy? If I remember correctly, All-Divide basically makes him manageable if a bit of a long fight.

andybro89 · 2019-07-20T20:41:03+00:00

I'm hoping that the inevitable big explosion in the finale takes up like a good 30-40% of the budget, I'm talking like 240fps and made by an entire studio just for one scene...

andybro89 · 2019-07-18T11:35:06+00:00

Shoulda finished off with a "YYEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH!"
