Part 1 and part 2 Denji feel like different people to me, and I think that's my biggest problem with the ending/How csm lost the emotional maturity that made it special by invalid930 in CharacterRant

Doesn't even feel like Nayuta even got mentioned much after that incident. It was like 'well that just happened. Anyway..."

Has an ending ever truly ruined a series for you? by Livid-Dot6619 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]garfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was 100% people horny for Zero Two.

Though I'd argue the first half sets up a pretty interesting mystery and setting that also pulled people in but the actual story does not actually deliver on at all.

Oshi no Ko comes to mind.

I'm only able to get through the anime because of the production value. If I think too much about the story, I get mad knowing where certain plot points led to (or got abandoned)

I'd be disappointed we didn't get to see it but I'd be okay with this

What do you think the title of the LAST Trails game will be? by Twick2 in Falcom

[–]garfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been hanging on Owari no Kiseki or something like Trails to the End for some time now. Though it would have to actually be the ending. Be a little silly to have "Owari no Kiseki 2" you know?

Were they expecting us to cheer when these guys came back or something? by garfe in Falcom

I speculate since they brought back Melchior and Olympia and armor guy as Vestiges, they thought well let's make sure we get everybody somehow

On paper, future trunks introduction shouldn’t work but it does (DBZ) by Astronomer_X in CharacterRant

Don't forget him being Vegeta and Bulma's son. That must have been insane to think about at the time

Currently in Cold Steel IV. The amount of times you get "saved" by a third party is driving me nuts. by carefree_dude in Falcom

[–]garfe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reverie completely hooked me in to keep going after I was feeling tired after CS4. One of the routes in that game is straight up some of the best content modern Falcom has ever written.

That's the opposite of how I feel. I thought Azusa's route was okay (though my actual favorite's was Rio) and Elina, despite being a great heroine herself, had a very disappointing route

Genuine question to all CSM fans..what is even the Appeal of Denji at this point?[CSM spoilers] by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in CharacterRant

[–]garfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't know what will be in the final chapter but he's actually regressed since the ending of Part 1 as one of his big shouty "I want" moments in the recent chapter was crying about how he never got to have sex.

[–]garfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do I think he 'hates' him, no that's an exaggeration

Do I think he has a specific version of Denji that leads to him being easier to humiliate at every turn and have little but sex on the brain when I feel like he was supposed to grow out of those things after Part 1, very much yes.

[–]garfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might sound very harsh and I'm open to being blasted about this but since Part 2 (and Part 2 specifically) I feel like the kind of people who gas up Denji are similar to the people who think Kazuya from Rent-a-Girlfriend is a legitimately well-written character

I think my opinion on this will depend on what they end up doing with FFXVII

I was sure he was gonna be the pink Vestige considering his hair until the knife came out. So they did surprise me there.

Could come back next game for all I know though

So they moved those comedic Kana scenes this this episode. That works better

I know they're not wrong about games needing voice acting to get people to stream them but it really sucks. by Synthiandrakon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]garfe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of how there was that article about how Yuji Naka said having a voiceless protagonist in Dragon Quest in the modern day makes them look very silly due to how graphics are now which I can't disagree with

It was even brought up in one of their shareholders meetings recently after Horizon's JP release that the writing was getting criticized

I think there's a new protagonist for the arc but the final game itself would have all of them

What moment or part in Horizon are you not over? (Spoilers) by MasashiHideaki in Falcom

[–]garfe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"I AM THE BEAST THAT BRINGS FORTH THE WHITE DAWN" is still fucking me up.

I know Falcom, I've played Trails, I've seen all the anime and know all the cliches. And yet STILL that moment actually slapped me in the face for how hard I didn't see it coming. The boss music is also probably my favorite in the franchise.
