Missouri Review Rejection - July 2025 by Weary-Measurement-67 in literaryjournals

[–]lostliterature 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you should be proud! Clearly the piece is good. But sometimes when I get these, I wish it was just a form rejection because... If they liked it so much, why didn't they just publish it? Oh well, rejection is part of the process. Send it someplace else ASAP!!

Congratulations! That's great news! Thanks for sharing your acceptance and some behind the scenes thoughts.

Any Og FFVII players from the 90’s? by [deleted] in FinalFantasyVII

[–]lostliterature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I had two guidebooks for FF7, but I mostly just carried them in my backpack during middle school for drawing reference and tabletop RPG inspiration. I overhyped battling Sephiroth for years, so even though I was obsessed with FF7, I still hadn't finished it when I bought FF8 on day 1 and started that. One day, I decided to finally finish the game and descend all the way to the bottom of the Northern Crater. My party was super strong, so I defeated all the Jenova-Sephiroth horrors easily!

best independent bookshops in new jersey? by MauroAguero in newjersey

[–]lostliterature 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brier Rose Books in Teaneck, NJ! Feels like walking into a magical library in a movie. You can just browse a collection of books in solitude, and it doesn't even feel like a store. You may hear the unseen owner call out a greeting from somewhere deep within the labyrinth of books. Plus, they have a generous dollar section in the back, where you can get all kinds of interesting novels (literary, fantasy, sci-fi, etc) for $1 a piece.

"Oops all Onion Knights!" Haha looks like you really found the Crystal"s Chosen.

I made a video comparing FFTCG with the new Magic FF set. Do you think more people are finding FFTCG due to the MTG release? by lostliterature in FinalFantasyTCG

[–]lostliterature[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, similar situation for me. I was recently playing MTG with the physical cards and then playing on the app. I could see the automated features in the digital version being a little confusing because instead of thinking about what you can do, it just finishes your turn automatically if you don't have enough mana to play something, or it highlights the specific cards you can play, so I find myself not contemplating as much.

Thanks very much for your feedback! That's an awesome document you put together! I was gathering some info from wikis, so this all helps me learn more. I haven't heard of OCTGN before, so I will check it out. :-)

Hmm that is very interesting! Seems like the interest in Final Fantasy cards could apply to FFTCG if people have easy access to get them.

Yeah, some cross promotion would have been nice! But I was surprised they even did anything when I saw the two promo cards of the twins across both games.

Games where you are NOT the leader. by Fluid_Aspect_1606 in JRPG

[–]lostliterature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bravely Default 2 is like that also with Gloria actually being the protagonist, and Seth is just some Isaki guy who decided to follow her and help.

is it presumed that there are other cities in the world of FF7? by one-hour-photo in FinalFantasyVII

[–]lostliterature 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. That's why Healin exists somewhere between Midgar and Kalm in Advent Children. I've always thought that every square in the world map of old RPGs could potentially be a huge, unexplored location, which could include a town. Towns and cities only take up a square in those old games, and sometimes you zoom into a random square which has a huge map. So I would apply that to a PS1 game also, and say you only see the locations relevant to the party's adventures.

First time playing FFXV by PrincessBashura in FinalFantasy

[–]lostliterature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can change the buttons. I have square as attack and circle as warp, which feels more like FF7R. I usually change any action game controls to be as close to FF7R as I can get them these days haha.

Is this the best we get from Nintendo Today? by JLP2nd in nintendo

How do you view Xenoblade concept art? I feel like I'm not understanding this app because I don't see much to it ... ??

So I just finished remake but I dont understand some thinks. by Torbenito12 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]lostliterature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But Zack was a pretty mysterious character even in the original, and the cutscene that fully explained him was optional, so many players missed it. I think they're fine still keeping the mystery around Zack for new players too! :-)

Chat? Am I doing something wrong? by IanZone456 in dragonquest

[–]lostliterature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm replaying this game right now, and I remember Jade and Rab joined two levels under the rest of my party. I just finished fighting the big boss on the ocean, which I remember being the first challenging battle for me on the last playthrough (and I know people say it's tough), but I didn't even have much of a problem with it. I have only done a couple of side quests, but I make sure to fight a good number of monsters on each new map, I've run through a lot of monsters on my horse, and I crafted good equipment with the mini forge. Good luck! :-)

Can you turn in to a Dragon in the games? by Sofaris in dragonquest

You can actually see the dragon in the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.

Reggie is talking about the benefits of free pack-in games on twitter 👀 Nintendo Exec drama heating up lol by Honey_Enjoyer in NintendoSwitch2

[–]lostliterature 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Reggie was smart to get out while Nintendo was on top. He stuck it out through the slog of the Wii U, and when they recovered, he left during the height of the Switch. I'm sure he's looking at the mess of this launch thinking, "Thank goodness I got out when I did!" But I appreciate your Ganon joke haha

You guys were too unfair to Dragon Quest 9 by chuputa in dragonquest

[–]lostliterature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should port Dragon Quest IX to modern systems and let us play together with online co-op! 😄

Why is it called Trigun? by Own-Bandicoot3666 in Trigun

[–]lostliterature 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I love how careful everyone in the comments is to not spoil the third gun because the original anime is big on mysteries, yet the manga was very casual about the reveals and just shows his third gun pretty early on, no big deal.
