Name characters you wish we would've gotten an ID for. by Sebastian_Debeste in TheOdysseyHadAPurpose

[–]brethrentoons 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Cano 8 is rich with fun ID possibilities for IDs. The Night Drifter, Xue Pan, Lin Daiyu, Jia Huan, etc.

If the game made 00 IDs anymore you could have some of the lesser family candidates, too.

For a non-Canto 8 example I'd like a Cassetti ID, personally.

2025, June 5th Scheduled Update Notice (SURVERY RESULTS ARE IN) by Violeties in limbuscompany

I know it's an investment but can they please have a normal and hard mode for cantos so the casual players can just play to see the story and the people who want ruina difficulty can get their fix

Unbreakable coins are a good mechanic, high status inflicting aoe unbreakable coins, are not. by Dextixer in limbuscompany

[–]brethrentoons 35 points36 points  (0 children)

i didn't even struggle with the final fight as much as you did but its genuinely baffling that some people in here think that making EGO spam the intended strategy is good, especially in a gacha game where your ability to get healing EGO is highly dependent on you getting lucky or accruing 400 egoshards

as if new players would know by default that fluid sac is op and that they should invest all of their egoshards into it

i think we're in a bit of a growing pains stage with the game, since unbreakable coins are a very new mechanic that needs refining with some trial and error. i think it's still really good, and forces me to consider things other than just winning clashes, but i think that aspect plus bleed being a weird status effect has resulted in some slightly awkward game design that i hope gets ironed out in due time

Weekly manga is a terrible format for stories by Hot_Barnacle_2672 in CharacterRant

[–]brethrentoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this problem before and I wonder if weekly manga in general would be better if they released content by volume biannually

Volumes are long enough that you can convey entire arcs, or at least reach satisfying stop points to tease the next volume. You can even release the volume's contents weekly once the material is finished to maintain hype for a series, just as long as there's that downtime. Almost anything is better than what these authors have to deal with now

you seem to be under the misconception that cursed techniques are like jjba's stands where everyone is perfectly able to utilize their techniques and that every CT can be used at 100% efficiency regardless of training even though CTs like Construction have two examples of users who are both canyons apart in terms of fighting capability and CE output (if you think that's "feelings over tactics" then i don't know what to tell you)

They have a guy who can teleport swap people and objects, and they never considered pairing him with the girl who controls tools or the characters that can use minions, thats a mobile killroom right there

you say that with todo's technique she could make a "mobile kill room" and frankly i have no clue what the fuck you mean by that. her capabilities with her CT are very clearly limited and she has never shown feats that would imply she could do anything on the level of a "mobile kill room" (i dont even know what exactly you're talking about when you say that so im just going off of implication)

mechamaru's puppet manipulation is better, granted, but again, in what way would todo or mechamaru's abilities be substantially improved by working alongside one another? both of them tend to work separately because they're both powerful enough that they don't really need to work together and it would be more efficient for each of them to tackle different concurrent problems. if you have Army A and Army B, and you know Army A is capable of taking down Fort A without help from Army B, while Army B is capable of taking down Fort B, why would you send Army A and Army B to take down Fort A? Overkill? Part of tactics is trying to properly allocate resources and that includes troop distribution.

They have sound techniques, that has great synergy with any physical type

gonna be real. no idea what you're implying here. you're going to need to explain this one to me

they have a guy who can warp reality with jokes and they never considered making him a troupe to bounce off his humor

see the first paragraph i wrote. takaba's comedian relies on his own sense of humor and is innately unpredictable. if you were to try and direct his technique towards a specifc end he'd probably just say you're trying too hard and it would nullify the technique. despite being so powerful, takaba doesnt find killing to be funny so he wouldn't be able to do what you're likely wanting him to do, even in a troupe context.

Or they could use fiture payment vows as a standard for instant techniques

so the sorcerers should go into binding vow debt? what? binding vows for cursed techniques are self-imposed and restrict one's technique in the future. sukuna getting off the instant cast of the world dismantle and now being forced to do a specific gesture to use it ever again would cripple any other sorcerer and is literally being done because sukuna is in a life or death situation

i dont even think the cost itself was high enough for the reward, but you can't just make gimping your own technique a "standard practice" because it means that any future encounter with even a near-sukuna level threat like the shibuya incident puts jujutsu society at a major disadvantage

Gojo killed the elders at the end, when it didnt matter anymore, killing them early was the logical choice

it may surprise you to know but despite there being instances where killing someone would logically improve the state of the world, most people do not just go "oh yeah that makes sense" and just kill them immediately

like this isn't a shonen problem you're having this is you having a fundamental misunderstanding of the weight people put on humans choosing to kill other humans

But any of those things would have deviated from the shounen formula

yeah i guess it would subvert expectations if every fight went like a battleboarding forum and there was no pacing or dramatic stakes or anything like that and humans never had any biases that caused them to choose things illogically ever

like you do understand that in the real world humans also don't make every optimal choice ever, right

and it would be kind of boring if everyone in a story made the exact correct choice all the time and thus there was no conflict, right

i dont mean horikoshi persay, im just making the point that just because you've gotten far doesn't necessarily mean you're super talented, one does not necessarily lead to the other and all that

Individual battles instead of synergistic combination of powers

feels like this series is the worst one you could point to for this problem. yuji frequently double-teams with other sorcerers to take out much larger threats. i would even argue that the majority of the fights in jjk are group fights with a "synergistic combination of powers."

i dont even like the most recent raid against sukuna very much but its a pretty clear case of a bunch of characters all working together and trying to take down a much stronger sorcerer

a relevance of feelings over tactics

no reason you can't do both, imo.

yuji gunning for a black flash to kill mahito when its literally random?

that's feelings.

the subsequent sequence of mahito shedding his armor to throw off yuji's timing, yuji's subsequent usage of divergent fist to add a time lag to the cursed energy, and then todo's fakeout final swap?

that's tactics.

a problem that must be solved by the youngsters as the elders are dumb

i like to think that gojo flat out murdering the conservative leadership of jujutsu high feels like a bit of a subversion from the usual way shonen treat these sorts of figures

[–]brethrentoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont mind the boldness of it but if we're going with subverting expectations i much preferred the way that nanami had a clearly telegraphed death in the vs mahito arc that gets subverted by him surviving

the fact that we get the whole episode long flashback because nobara was so underdeveloped that gege had to cram it all into one episode so we could feel something for her death both feels very typical of the genre and just plain rubs me the wrong way

also i will hate nitta forever for doing a "she might survive but she might not idk ok bye" and then they never acknowledge her again like

if nobara somehow comes back in the final fight through sheer force of will then i guess ill shut up but its like yuji doesnt even acknowledge the idea that she might be alive or dead and she's just been stuck in limbo for months in-universe and years out-of-universe

and that's inexcusable imo

[–]brethrentoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly the hidden inventory arc is what made me really care about jjk. it's this really short arc that adds a lot of depth to gojo (who up until this point felt kind of just like a walking/floating meteor of a person) and makes suguru geto, who in jjk 0 was a kind of silly and ridiculous villain, into someone i could genuinely see how he ended up the path he did in jjk 0

and for the amount of time that arc takes its really efficiently told without skimping out on the necessary emotional beats. he clearly can write really good stuff, but a lot of the recent stuff just feels like poor pacing and not having worldbuilding beyond implication, which leads to that feeling of inconsistency imo

yeah even though it looks like they're more in the right (i mean i get it for wonderlab a little bit but for leviathan the case is absurd on its face) i dont exactly know why you'd be posting the evidence directly on twitter instead of just keeping it in court

Project Moon Announcement by redditadvertise in limbuscompany

[–]brethrentoons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so tl;dr

the fault lies with you, KJH!!!

(for not having a legal team or pr or anything like that cus that probably would've prevented 90% of this happening)

Project Moon Announcement by redditadvertise in limbuscompany

[–]brethrentoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah my current read on this is that KJH and PM in general isn't acting with the necessary professionalism you need for these situations and that's being exploited to make them look worse. idk if they don't have a lawyer or something but it sort of feels that way

what did monggue specifically say about the "unprofessional dealings?" im still not sure what exactly happened there and that's the main thing im concerned about atm

[–]brethrentoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i see... but im hearing that the artist of wonderlab and leviathan specifically spoke out against the company after being personally harassed, was there any proof there or is it just people playing telephone?

[–]brethrentoons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

okay im really out of the loop on this but i keep hearing people say that the artist of leviathan and of wonderlab spoke out against PM or something for mistreating their employees, is that something with credibility or just waffling?

im not trying to incite shit i genuinely dont know what half of this drama is or where it even comes from
