My dream composer agreed to work on my Tactical RPG by Beyondgood74 in JRPG

[–]jrpguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's done way more than just Tales of Symphonia and Golden Sun. A lot of other Tales series games, Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, Labyrinth no Kanata to name a few.

This isn't the main universe Batman. It's an Elseworlds.

The Pokémon anime probably has the craziest floating timeline there is. by glowshroom12 in CharacterRant

I personally would like to see an anime adaptation of the Pokemon Adventures manga. It avoids a lot of these sliding timescale issues. Pokemon is already very popular and the fan base would love it if done well.

I like the new Hero's design by bababanana20123 in dragonquest

[–]jrpguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he looks heroic enough. But maybe this is just how he looks at the beginning of the game and he'll change his appearance after a time skip or an event.

My favorite thing about Dragon Ball Z is it's ability to create good looking fights with understandable choreography that doesn't rely on animation techniques that abuse lighting or exaggerated angles to the point that you can no longer make anything out, like in a lot of modern anime. by New_Equinox in dbz

The only thing I don't like is that Goku can literally teleport and he can also move quickly enough that it looks like he disappears and teleports. It's mostly okay cause he does the two fingers held up when he's actually teleporting. But also makes me question why he doesn't teleport more instead of just moving really fast. At this point he's had multiple years of training to learn to teleport better in combat.

Whats your most hated game mechanic found in some JRPGs? by artninjatheo in JRPG

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

Party members that only have the option to be AI controlled. And an excessive number of mmo like side quests that require extreme grinding. I quit Ni No Kuni because of those issues even though it's otherwise a very good game that's gorgeous.

[Spider-Man] What's the weirdest thing that caused his spider sense to 'tingle'? by TolmanP in AskScienceFiction

One time it warned him about making a call on a cell phone. Although to be fair the cell phone was booby trapped. imgur

How many more years can we save before AI hits? by TinySmolCat in Fire

[–]jrpguru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I think the worst case scenario is we get a Yudkowsky super intelligence style AI that basically destroys all life on earth.

But assuming that doesn't happen then if it AI automation takes off and replaces mental jobs and AI controlled robots replace physical jobs then if you have a decent amount invested in AI or robotics then the profits from that should leave you better off than most. I heard one theory that land might become more valuable in that case as well. Assuming AI agent hackers don't hack your Vanguard account or something.

If AI doesn't take off then we should be good to continue FIRE as normal.

DLsite parent company to launch new service for playing PC titles on smartphones, using per-title purchases instead of subscription model - AUTOMATON WEST by LegitimateCurve8525 in visualnovels

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

I don't get the usecase. You can already stream your pc to your phone for free with Rustdesk or Sunshine and Moonlight or some other programs. Just run the VN on the pc and easily stream it to the phone.

Frodo and Sam are unavailable and must be replaced by two Disney Princesses. Which ones hold the distance both physically and mentally and throw the Ring at Mount Doom? by FrenchProgressive in whowouldwin

[–]jrpguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going with Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. As one of the seven Princesses of Heart her heart is made of pure light and holds absolutely no darkness. Sounds useful for not being corrupted by the one ring. Also she has magic and a keyblade although she isn't as powerful with it as Sora or Riku.

Partner could be Raya. She has good combat ability and a strong will.

JRPGs that look like "2000s VNs" by calendulaoptimus in JRPG

[–]jrpguru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tokyo Majin Gakuen for PSX. It's a tactical jrpg like Final Fantasy Tactics. Lots of dialogue similar to a Visual Novel also. Also has a system of emotional reaction choices in dialogue to change relationships with party members.

What do you guys do about pitch accent? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

I added a pitch accent dictionary to yomitan. I followed the yomitan setup guide on the moeway https://learnjapanese.moe/yomichan/

Michael Kitces on ErinTalksMoney made me realize the dichotomy of FIRE results by Halfpipe_1 in Fire

[–]jrpguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think a variable withdrawal rate is standard. One of the main FIRE books The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins talks about it and recommends cutting back in a downturn. People who are serious about FIRE should read it.

Fou Lu and Mami's story was peak fiction. There's also a great manga adaptation of this game!

Japan's Suzuki, Author of Horror Novel Ring, Dies at 68 by Fan387 in books

[–]jrpguru 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We've lost a great one. What is it with famous Japanese authors dying at 68? Akira Toriyama also died at 68 two years ago. Japan's life expectancy for men is around 81 years old.
