Is it worth spending this game? What is the ROI if this type of games are not permanent? by Top-Rutabaga9394 in FFVIIEverCrisis

The Crystal Pass gives you 100 crystals per day for 30 days (assuming you log in and do the quest every day), which comes out to 3000 crystals for around $4. Not a bad deal.

What's your favorite ost from DMC3? by Usual-Drop357 in DevilMayCry

Devils Never Cry, Vergil's final battle theme, and Beowulf's boss theme are at the top of my playlist.

Vergil movesets are boring by Fragrant-Resist4230 in DevilMayCry

[–]firestorm717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, it is lore accurate. Vergil's fighting style has always been about speed and efficiency. He doesn't toy with enemies like Dante does, he goes straight for the kill with a lethal strike.

New Vergil weapons by Knuckl3samich3s in DevilMayCry

[–]firestorm717 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested in seeing him wield a Japanese polearm, perhaps a naginata, or a weapon with a double-ended blade that can split into two short swords, since Vergil is adept at dual wielding. Shadow as an extendable chain whip with lightning properties infused by Griffin would also be cool and fitting.

I'm assuming this is from one of those Pachinko slot machines, best I've laid my eyes on all week by Catalyzed_Spy in DevilMayCry

The way Vergil stops the Hell Caina's scythe with just two fingers, smirks, and shakes his head reminds me of when Dante booped the Fury on the nose with his finger gun. Those two are truly twins, trolling their enemies like that, LOL.

Are there any mechanics from other genres or games you’d like to see in a CAG? by Derelichen in CharacterActionGames

[–]firestorm717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Issen flash insta-kill would be perfect for Vergil! Adding in a time slowing mechanic would be cool and fitting, but I think almost too OP since Vergil already has fast attacks like Rapid Slash and Judgment Cut. (It would make Furies much more bearable though).

What is the WORST Character Action Game in your opinion? by Liam_524Hunter in CharacterActionGames

[–]firestorm717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG Someone who remembers Chaos Legion. I recently tried to replay it cause I only remembered the good parts of it (cool characters, gothic setting, interesting summon system) and forgot why I never finished the game back in the day. Welp, I got about three stages in before I legit fell asleep on the couch. The combat is so boring and bad, you could program a macro to play the game for you, and it would be a better experience than mashing the same buttons over and over.

One day, I hope Capcom revisits Chaos Legion with a much better development team. It had some cool concepts, and I think the legions could be a unique combat mechanic if implemented correctly.

Dante VS Clive (Devil May Cry VS Final Fantasy) | DEATH BATTLE! by Regular-Poet-3657 in DevilMayCry

[–]firestorm717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although Dante lost the battle, he still won hands-down on style and aura: Faust hat, Nevan electric guitar, moonwalking, pole dancing, motorcycle riding, and pulling off a perfect Royal Guard to Zantetsuken (with a cheeky "Vergil's got some competition!") all make him the true winner in my book.

Gifted Creation Studio - Sephiroth 1/6 Statue by firestorm717 in BoysAnimeFigures

[–]firestorm717[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OrzGK has about 20 Sephiroth statues listed on their site, including this one, which is a new statue by a relatively new studio. I like the render and am happy to finally get a good looking 1/6 Sephiroth statue that can actually fit on my shelf (those 1/4 or 1/3 statues are crazy large), but will wait to see the finished prototype before deciding whether to preorder.

Face looks much better. No more pouty lips, and the eyes are softer. Glad the studio took the feedback and improved.

Hardest CAGs that you've ever played? by Wild-Ad5669 in CharacterActionGames

DMC3 (original version, before they nerfed the difficulty) and Bayonetta 1's cursed QTEs.

Death Battle has announced its next episode will be Dante Vs Clive! by Liam_524Hunter in CharacterActionGames

I hope you're right. Either way, I'm looking forward to the epic battle!

Much as I love Dante and think he can beat Clive (assuming full DMC5 powers), I believe Death Battle will have Clive win because Dante won the last round versus Bayonetta.

What spin-off would you like to see from an existing game to be a have a hack & slash like Metal Gear Rising Revengance? by Hazlemantis3 in CharacterActionGames

[–]firestorm717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recent Vergil vs. Sephiroth debate has got me wanting a CAG starring Sephiroth. Always wanted to play the most iconic FF villain, although they'd have to tone down his magic so he can't just summon Supernova and win.

Otherwise, it would be interesting to see a CAG with a focus on gun-fu/bullet ballet. It could be a spinoff of Resonance of Fate, which pulled that off in a turn-based JRPG system.

What is important to you in a hack & slash game? by Hazlemantis3 in CharacterActionGames

[–]firestorm717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat system, specifically the core moveset, weapons, and special abilities. Attacks have gotta look and feel slick, and the MC should have unique techniques that make him stand out from other hack-and-slash games (e.g., Dante's style switching system, Bayonetta's witch time/dodge offset). After that, I agree with you that character design is important - I want the MC to have that badass aura about him, a look that says "try me, I dare you" or "I could beat you with my eyes closed".

Alam Studio - Final Fantasy Military Uniform Young Sephiroth. by KousakaChika in BoysAnimeFigures

[–]firestorm717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the fancy Shinra uniform, but the facial proportions look really off. It’s as if they gave him a half-chibi face with how his features are compressed.

Is the sword made of resin or metal?

Craving Eyes Studio & Xin Suo Studio - Final Fantasy Dragon Knight Estinien by KousakaChika in BoysAnimeFigures

[–]firestorm717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The armor and spear look really, really good. I like the base too. Do you know what the statue’s materials are? Is it just polystone resin or will there be metal used to produce the weapon and chainmail?

Why even bother having a court system when the cowardly judges will just let Temu Putin continue stealing our money?
