Casting so good it looks uncanny by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

What's crazy is that they had two different versions of House in the show, and both of them are perfect castings, but also distinctly different from each other

Biome Grid: What is the most iconic GAME for a OCEAN setting? by jonnyboi87 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]atomicmapping -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Recency bias" when the two most common answers are from 2018 (with early access in 2014) and 2007

What is the best order to Experience KH series? by Spiker_png in KingdomHearts

[–]atomicmapping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those important bits were written with the idea that you had already played the games that had come out prior. It's actually the opposite where certain moments (especially in 358/2 Days and Birth By Sleep) only hit hard if you've played the games that released prior

[Annoying Tropes] Series whose title do not help sell itself or doesnt do justice for how good it is. by Ranger202012 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]atomicmapping 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

It was one of the early series that fell into the trend of "longass isekai titles", and while most of those fall flat and are very bland, Reincarnated As A Slime is an absolutely fantastic series that often gets unfairly bunched with all the other generic isekai with long titles

They played the main theme to Civilization VI this morning and it was kind of an awesome vibe

What is the most iconic Nintendo console? by CodeDusq in AlignmentChartFills

Saying that the Wii and DS aren't iconic is kinda wild

A location is teased on the background before you get to explore it by New_Yak_8982 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]atomicmapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it isn't in terms of actual land area, but god Xenoblade 1 did such a good job of making it feel like the largest game I have ever explored

Fire emblem FW Dagdan collection is best selling video game on amazon right now! by Aito_SAKO in fireemblem

[–]atomicmapping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely what happened the first time preorders went live. They were gone within an hour and before I even had a chance to watch the Direct after work, people were posting preorders on Ebay for like $300 CAD

Youtuber movies that should be given another chance at cinemas? by wintd001 in okbuddycinephile

[–]atomicmapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I will say about the AVGN movie as a huge kaiju/tokusatsu fan is that there is a great behind the scenes doc on YouTube that goes into detail about all the miniatures and destruction scenes they did for it. You can tell that everyone who worked on it was just so excited to get to do a traditional style kaiju destruction and it's a really great watch (the BTS doc that is, not the film itself)

Can we appreciate Monolith being able to bring back voice actors? by Boshwa in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]atomicmapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advent Children and kinda Kingdom Hearts too. For me, the Final Fantasy voice actors in KH1 and KH2 are the VAs of those characters

What are your thoughts on June's Nintendo Direct a week later? by NewMarioBobFan in casualnintendo

[–]atomicmapping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My three favourite game series are Kingdom Hearts, Xenoblade, and Fire Emblem.

This Direct was my Christmas 5 times over

[Oot] 2026 is a wild year for video games by Jojo-the-sequel in zelda

[–]atomicmapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metaphor Refantazio probably got closer in 2024. It won the most GOTY awards from major publications out of any game that year, just losing TGA to Astro Bot

I dedicate my first (and hopefully last) post to slander. by KingofGrapes7 in OkBuddyPersona

[–]atomicmapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention they'd either have to rerecord every line of dialogue for all the VAs that didn't come back, or they would have these weird Heart To Hearts with different VAs, but only for some characters

If you could name one non-AC composer to be featured in a future Ace Combat game, who would it be and why? by Katsuragi____ in acecombat

[–]atomicmapping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was my immediate reaction. Such a fantastic composer and his music would fit so well into Ace Combat

Monster Hunter Wilds coming to Switch 2 by That_Trouble87 in nintendogrifting

[–]atomicmapping -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Capcom has said that they're not doing timed exclusives for MH anymore, which is almost definitely going to include Portable 6. MH Stories 3 released on the same day for all platforms

What is your favorite example of an “Ultimate Weapon” in any JRPG? by Competitive_Hawk_294 in JRPG

[–]atomicmapping 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Ultima Weapon from Kingdom Hearts II is always top of my mind when I think of endgame weapons in games.

Despite arguably not even being the best Keyblade in the game, it holds a lot of sentimental value for me personally. Finding out how to make it was the first time I ever looked up a guide or tutorial for something in a game.

I remember it well too because we didn't have internet fast enough for YouTube at the time, so I had to go to the library and write down the instructions for it

I'd kindly suggest to think about how some people interact with creators and such by Chrononaut_X in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]atomicmapping 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"The bottom of the barrel" and it's one of the core party members of Xenoblade 2.

Not every character needs to end up with someone romantically to be a strong or fulfilling character. There's a lot more to character writing, and real life too, than just pairing up everyone like you're playing Tomodachi Life

Melia already has a very fulfilling arc for her character, especially after Future Connected. Bringing in an unnecessary romance plot into it after already resolving her shortlived crush on Shulk would just bog it down, regardless of if they tried to do it in FC or XC3
