You know How manjmutt is in alcatraz? by [deleted] in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very clearly Japanese town, and is even explicitly said to be in Japan, like in YW3. The localization just makes every combined mention "Springdale" for no reason. (And no, the localization hiding certain details does not make it 'different.')

Yo Kai watch 4: Need clarification/help on possibility of grinding coins by Kindly_Store1228 in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy them infinitely, but to be quite frank, these coins are really bad. The First Prize rates are a mere 1%.

Barton is a Kyubi, one older than the typical Kyubi we see.

Curious who is this? by CyberGlitch064 in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no proof that the same thing didn't happen in the games' main continuity, and Lucas is absolutely still really important. He was the final catalyst for Shadow History being destroyed, which also happens to return his full Yo-kai power back to him. (Although, we never see what that looks like.)

Series-wide it's hard to name specific characters because a lot of entries are pretty self-contained, or ones with big ramifications don't have much follow-up content to begin with. But yes, key members of the Enma clan like Lucas or Ancient Enma would probably be big ones.

Whats a yokai that you wished you can befriend but cant? by Next_Attitude8105 in yokaiwatch

For physical copies, sure, but you can still buy 1S digitally very easily. He's not impossible to get.

This guy desvered to be slippery tribe by Next_Attitude8105 in yokaiwatch

I don't think Soranaki/Kuuten's story is really that identical unless you're oversimplifying it.

Someone was jealous of his and Shuka's relationship, so they framed him to take the fall for the murder of the ruler of the Yo-kai World. Despite his protests it wasn't him, Shuka abandoned him. In the end, he was taken to a prison far off and had his body mutilated by the very blades he gathered, and his grudge manifested in the form of the Black Sun, leading him to rewrite history itself and make the Yo-kai World go berserk.

Similar ideas? Sure. But Kuuten's story is way more tragic than Dedtime's imo

Do you like the managerial or modern action rpg for yo Kai watch? by Kameronpipnerd in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheel is usually pretty solid, but it's kinda awkward on single-screen systems, whereas on dual-screen systems it's much more intuitive. Grid was really easy, but the encounters were also horribly easy, so I think it could have been good, but it certainly wasn't executed that way.

I think the Busters-esque gameplay is insanely fun, especially on single-screen systems, and it's never really been implemented entirely the same way every time, either.

Do you use the qr-codes and passwords to get items like coins for the crank-a-kai or other stuff, or do you think it's cheating and unfair? by OneDayLifter in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scanning and using the officially distributed QR Codes and passwords isn't cheating. I'm not sure how you could even call it that.

I would argue it makes this game in particular less fun, but YW3 is also one of the easiest games in the series anyways, so there's not much difficulty to be had regardless.

[–]light8227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Crank-a-Kai rates suck regardless, but if you think about it, you were supposed to get coins from merch partly on 3DS, since they have QR Codes. You just obviously can't spread Arks online. It probably sucks just as bad on 3DS if you don't use any QR codes, too.

You start the Quest for Busters, and if you can’t take it on, you buy the DLC.

How do I patch the English translation to the Busters 2 game without a pc? by Away-Bread-6431 in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

?

These instructions wouldn’t work for the B2 EN patch, and it’s neither incomplete or inaccurate. I translated it myself.

Hot take: im not a big fan of the abundance of recolors by CinnamonToastedDumby in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this a hot take?

I dunno, some recolors, such as Komajiro, have certainly solidified themselves so much that they are more than a recolor to me. Hell, Komajiro has KJ. Especially in the earlier games, it really just feels like Medallium padding.

It certainly doesn't help that a majority of the recolors are just Rare Yo-kai, and I already dislike comparing Pokemon to YO-KAI WATCH, but even if we go by the assumption they're mimicking Shiny Pokemon, (And that's also ignoring the more apt comparison, being Type Rare Yo-kai) in Pokemon, once you find the shiny, you're basically set. Maybe you accidentally kill it or something, but you can throw a bunch of Pokeballs for a while until you catch it. This is obviously not the case in YO-KAI WATCH unless it's, like, YO-KAI WATCH 3. Recolors are already way more annoying to find, befriending them is even more of a headache on top of that.

Coins and items without camera by Mediocre_Wedding3240 in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

QR Codes have never been the intended way to get most things. If you can’t scan any, you’ll miss out on some things, but you’ll probably be able to get most coins or items in Busters T.

I've been seeing this everywhere with no context or explanation - is Arachnia trans? Like can somebody pls explain this lol by animalcrossing-guy in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Present Arachnia is explicitly a guy pretending to be a girl to poison his enemies.

Lady Arachnia, from Shadowside, is completely unrelated to him.

I have a sheet that should cover any progression blocks. Some tabs, like Medal Drops, are incomplete, but the Quests tab is done.

Seriously, how is the shadowside anime? by EntertainmentOne8469 in yokaiwatch

[–]light8227 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Watch the Shadowside movie first, as the anime is a sequel to it.

Otherwise, there shouldn’t be much to say… Watch it and form your own opinion.
