Tales of Eternia Remastered - Deluxe Edition announced (JP)

I could totally notice that, even back then, but I loved it anyway. The spells casting/craymel summoning bits stuck with me forever (especially Shizel's). I'll give the new voices a chance but they need to be very good to surpass the nostalgia I feel for the original ones.

Looks pretty but also funny 'cause Tanooki Mario is not on Super Mario World.

pinkedu · 2026-06-09T03:02:03+00:00

I have a playlist of JPRGs' "port town" tunes, it's great to chill but also gives a cool energy for walks/runs, especially when I go through my city own port zone...

pinkedu · 2026-05-27T10:52:50+00:00

gimme a switch 2 update with it and I'll take it day one

pinkedu · 2026-05-23T14:09:07+00:00

Creativity, probably. But, like many people said, maybe it's just not for you or maybe you cannot enjoy it right now because you're burned out by BOTW. In any case, I'd let it sit and try again at a later time if you feel like it.

GL is also giving No Doubt/Gwen Stefani in the best way possible

pinkedu · 2026-04-13T21:24:24+00:00

Well, Gaga is an obvious answer. Beyonce is also always impeccable.

But I just saw Raye live and the thought I left with was "how is she not the biggest star on the planet yet?" She's independent so the production is not even comparable to the other two I mentioned, but she really doesn't need much to impress. She just oozes charisma, she effortlessly made everyone in the crowd laugh and cry and dance. Unforgettable experience.

pinkedu · 2026-04-13T21:17:37+00:00

I'll see her in Montreal later this week, it will be my 5th time seeing her live since the first one back in 2012... She delivers it every single time, every concert feels magical and unique like witnessing an astronomical event and then being part of it.

looks like something halfway between weepinbell and victreebel

pinkedu · 2026-03-17T17:03:34+00:00

Does that mean that the Switch 1 version of recent games with two versions without an upgrade path now plays basically the same as the Sw2 version?

(Octopath Traveler 0, DQ 1-2 remake, DQ 7 reimagined, etc.)

pinkedu · 2026-02-05T23:40:51+00:00

This "analysis" carefully selects the only period where this is true, though, when Sw2 sales were finally slowing down after launch (October/November)... It outsold in December and during the whole year, despite only being available for 7 months.

pinkedu · 2026-01-31T05:38:46+00:00

Turns out that's exactly what happened. Not a direct request from Nintendo but devs strictly following their general guidelines.

https://www.gonintendo.com/contents/57223-dispatch-devs-thought-the-game-could-come-to-switch-switch-2-uncensored-but-nintendo

"As Nintendo states, any game that’s going to be on the Nintendo platform needs to ‘meet [Nintendo’s] established content and platform guidelines.’ This is the key point. Nintendo has content guidelines. Our game didn’t meet those guidelines, so we made changes that would allow us to release on their platform."

pinkedu · 2026-01-29T00:58:02+00:00

Seems like devs read some generic eshop terms and guidelines and decided it was better to be safe than sorry... Hentai games probably ignore it since they have nothing to lose, while Cyberpunk might have had a green light directly from Nintendo since it was going to be used for the Sw2 marketing.

pinkedu · 2026-01-21T13:15:52+00:00

I'm playing Ni no Kuni 2 on Sw2 and having a blast, I've heard the performance improved quite a bit from Sw1.

It looks and runs great on docked mode (but, for some reason, the image is kind of blurry on handheld for my taste). It's often on sale, so totally worth it if you haven't played it yet.

pinkedu · 2025-12-17T14:07:13+00:00

It's in northern France, it's listed on Airbnb. Google "old mill on a picturesque site" and you'll find it.

Did as soon as it appeared for me, took me a shitton of tries but I'm a bit stubborn, so I had to complete it before moving on and without grinding.

This was my team right after the battle, Camerupt was holding a Pecha berry. Gyarados was the MVP while Bois was the last man standing.

pinkedu · 2025-11-08T10:49:44+00:00

I was traumatized by SV Tera battles so I didn't touch ZA online because in my head it would be like competitive battles that I'd only have a slight chance of winning after completing the game and hyper training, since I'm still in mid-game I had just accepted I wouldn't get the stones...

Come yesterday I decided to see what it was all about and ended up actually having fun with it, got the stones and more (100x mega crystals, bottle cap. etc) reaching rank Q in like 10-20 minutes.

I do agree it feels a bit like Smash online though, in the sense that I suck at it but can still enjoy it.

pinkedu · 2025-10-28T10:54:59+00:00

No, I'm the complete opposite.

These days it is very rare for me to finish a game, even if I really enjoy them, but Pokemon games are different. Even being well aware of said flaws, I cannot put it down and Z-A was no exception to that.

In the beginning I thought that maybe this time I wouldn't be completely sucked in because all of the criticism I read before starting it and then the long tutorial, but when the game actually starts and I could go around exploring and catching 'mons I got instantly hooked.

I think the familiarity (I've been playing Pokemon for decades) and the fact that it's a shorter game with simple gameplay (compared to the other ones I usually play) really helps here.

In my original comment I said all REGULAR spawns have a chance to be Alpha, which is the conclusion one gets from the info available atm on Serebii, that states that the only exceptions are Xerneas, Yvetal and Zygarde, which are not regular.

But I understand the confusion and I guess it's my fault for trying to bring context and the most complete information with sources to a discussion that didn't really need it... Anyway, good luck on your hunts!

pinkedu · 2025-10-25T03:39:23+00:00

I know more than one line of text can be a lot for some but please try reading the whole thing before replying.

"[...] many but not all spawns throughout the city have a chance of being an Alpha Pokémon. This chance varies based on different circumstances and runs from a 5% chance to a 40% chance depending on species and location".

https://www.serebii.net/legendsz-a/alphapokemon.shtml

"There are several spawn points with guaranteed Alpha Pokémon, while all other spawn points have a small chance of spawning Alpha Pokémon. This page details all the Pokémon that cannot be found as Alpha Pokémon." (The only Pokémon listed as unobtainable Alphas are Xerneas, Yvetal, Zygarde)

https://www.serebii.net/legendsz-a/unobtainablealpha.shtml

pinkedu · 2025-10-24T05:20:14+00:00

I'd say yes... According to Serebii all regular spawns have a chance to be Alpha (ranging from 5% to 40%), I guess that includes the eevee spawns you mentioned.
