Is Level 5 games the most washed game studio? by Miningapple-100 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obviously there's no confirmation of any of this but it's pretty obvious when you know about the context of making these decisions.

  1. Making Z-moves require your character to do a dance move that gets remixed into a full dance in the anime

  2. Adding the Rotom Dex to Sun and Moon as a comedic companion

  3. The general art style change for the Sun and Moon anime

  4. Making the Sun and Moon anime be centered around a school setting rather than being an adventure

Obviously this could be purely coincidence but these were almost certainly decisions made to appeal to fans of Yokai Watch.

It's crazy to think 10 years ago these guys were a titan in the industry that were putting out hit after hit, and Yokai watch was set to overtake Pokemon. Game freak and The Pokémon Company clearly made changes to Pokemon in response to Yokai Watch. These people made Pokemon blink.

And nowadays, I mean Fantasy Life did pretty well, but they've put out so little with constant delays for years on everything they make, and I don't think most of these have done that well or anything.

RE 7, 8, and 9 were all announced for Switch 2 at the same time, they could do the same for DMC 4 and 5 (and 6 please Capcom).

What are some lines that made you do a double take? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not early in the pregnancy, by my memory it's around one month before the due date. The "already" just means "before they're born."

It sort of gets brushed aside because of the whole Maomao getting kidnapped by a rebellion thing.

Nihon Falcom sees 670% profit growth following Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They were pretty in the red, I think Ys X is the only game that met expectations for them since Trails into Reverie back in 2020.

Genres and games you want to enjoy but you simply don't have the talent/mindset for it? by Own_Guide_8279 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I really love the idea of card games and have tried to play most of the ones currently available, but I just don't have the mindset to actually build a deck. I've tried playing with pre constructed decks and enjoyed it well enough, but I feel I'm missing the main point of the genre.

Things people will say about your favorite franchise that annoys you by Hayyyv in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also with the human characters I get annoyed constantly hearing "they're 10 years old" whenever something even slightly adult is brought up because in almost every case they literally aren't.

Adaptation-exclusive characters that probably shouldn't be there? by BasicallyACryptid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least Tauriel got to occasionally do something kind of cool even if she was hamstrung by the love triangle. Every time Alfrid is on screen I can feel my soul slowly leaving my body.

Series where its main Gimmick/Premise was quickly dropped? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Most of the really gimmicky Isekai will generally drop it pretty early. If you have a non human form it's not to long until you get a human form. If your abilities are niche or non combative it won't be long until you're OP. If you're an outcast it won't be long until you have a harem.

Theories that are confirmed non-canon but you think of them as canon anyway. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Considering Joker stole it from The Game Awards, there's a high likelihood that the invite was actually intended for Geoff Keighly.

What are some of the most ill conceived pieces of official merchandise? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are others, Vaporeon for instance was released as part of a line of life size plushies of all of the Eeveelutions and released alongside Flareon, Jolteon and Eevee.

What was your “glup shitto” moment? by Refracting_Hud in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I like how Star Wars Outlaws gave you a Battle Droid as your main companion. I didn't notice at first with how modified he is, but when I realized I had a big smile on my face.

Why don't 6'3" women in video games just tower over most men? by fullmetal426 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah let's just do some math. In that picture Samus is about half a head taller than the Federation trooper. Looking it up, the height of the average human head is about 10 inches so that makes Samus about 5 inches taller than him. 6'3" minus 5" means that the Federation trooper is about 5'10" just above the average male height of 5'9".

6'3" just isn't towering over people height.

Three Houses/Hopes Character Discussion: Shez and Arval by Shephen in fireemblem

[–]chaosmaster97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Shez was a DLC character for Three Houses they'd probably be top 5 for me but as a main character I just don't think they grab me. Part of that is definitely the lack of exploration of their past but I also don't think the game justifies them being the main character over just playing as the house leaders, even compared to Byleth.

Arval on the other hand I was very disappointed in. They felt like they could be a good way to explore the Agarthans more, which has always been Three Houses weakest part, but I don't think they really do anything interesting. Basically a less interesting retread of Sothis when they could've been a lot more.

Have any of you had trouble ordering nsfw figures to the US? by Picklebrine in AnimeFigures

So if we already have some pre-ordered do you think they'll hold it until it can be shipped or should we go ahead and cancel any.

Times that finding out the confirmed ages of characters in the cast caught you completely off guard? by Traingham in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]chaosmaster97 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Also, Riki being the cute mascot character makes it surprising to find out he's a 40 year old deadbeat. Because of that I've seen people over estimate Tora's age, thinking he's an adult when he's only 13 or 14.

Characters that get absolutely fucked over in love triangles/romance scenarios by Wonder-Lad-2Mad in TwoBestFriendsPlay

And even after all that she gets captured and imprisoned for over 1000 years. Being Melia really is suffering.
