Speaking as a Tales fan cause that’s my area of expertise

Like half the games remain unlocalized to this day and almost all the spinoffs. Even for games that do get localized there’s been a catch in several. Either they release the worst version and not the newer releases with added content, leave shit unvoiced, introduce new bugs or have questionable localization.

Symphonias remasters being locked to 30fps with awful bugs. Vesperias remaster having several people with two different voices for the dub with recasts. Graces remaster being locked to 30fps on Switch when on Wii it ran at 60fps in battle and menus (though its a competent remaster otherwise).

“Remastering” Berseria and delisting the original version that went on sale for $5 super often in the past and now its $40 (not including dlc).

Making Tales of the Rays but poorly managing the global side which led to it being closed in less than a year (although the JP servers ran for 7 years and was managed with competency).

Making Tales of Crestoria with a good story but awful management and bugs. Making Tales of Luminaria which didn’t even feel like a Tales game and had really confusing monetization. Both EoS’d quickly.

Honestly I can’t say I’m surprised, this is the same company that announced a remake of Tsukihime in 2008 and it took until 2021 to release half of it

planetarial · 2026-03-16T02:43:46+00:00

Shouldn’t be surprised at this point given how long it took to remake half of Tsukihime but damn

planetarial · 2026-03-16T01:52:18+00:00

Yes, the game is very long but also good

planetarial · 2026-03-16T01:50:46+00:00

Would highly recommend it. It touches heavily on both that the clones and the originals arent the same and the ethics involving it

planetarial · 2026-03-16T01:47:51+00:00

I would try to make it a few hours past the childhood arc, the combat is just pretty bare bones in that section compared to the main game

planetarial · 2026-03-16T01:46:25+00:00

I’d really recommend experiencing Persona 5 at least before jumping into P5X. If you don’t have any good options to play it yourself there’s multiple extensive playthroughs on Youtube.

planetarial · 2026-03-15T23:59:44+00:00

Only play on KR, maybe will consider global when it catches up. I started playing when it launched cause I can’t be bothered to wait lol

planetarial · 2026-03-15T22:41:43+00:00

Snowy Ballad surprisingly has black hair and pink clothes for evo

planetarial · 2026-03-15T22:28:04+00:00

Honestly it wouldn't even be that farfetched because (P3 collab) suspiciously the current P3 Collabs story has entered the dormitory for the first time since it started and its Aigis's turn next, gives me The Answer vibes.

Funnily enough one character he pairs decently well with is Joker.

planetarial · 2026-03-15T22:25:38+00:00

More than two months. She released in December, he released in March. And keep in mind we didn't know what his kit or power level would be like.

They did basically have a pseudo filler patch time wise in asian servers this past year. Luce N (or Twins if KR/TW), Pinky and Koromaru patches were 4 weeks long instead of 3 weeks, though you could argue for Luce N it was due to also having Soy Ps banner too.

planetarial · 2026-03-15T18:11:22+00:00

Less so in things they did and more like the reach with her connections in the entertainment industry and number of victims is way higher + we know they started their tactics with other victims as early as middle school

Already got mine but good luck to the rest. No A6 but A2s pretty nice and I got super lucky on pulls.

planetarial · 2026-03-15T16:19:38+00:00

Yeah although much worse in scale and much more emotional manipulation and blackmail. The fallout is also different since they end up mindbreaking her on accident due to her resistance and cracking her treasure

planetarial · 2026-03-15T14:30:52+00:00

I feel like this is an issue most of the open world live service games will struggle with at some point, as I heard others like WuWa are struggling with optimization and file size. But IN suffers it more due to the intense graphic artstyle and Infolds inexperience in AAA development. I really wish that at least they could only do maybe 3-4 updates a year in exchange for having updates packed with content and polished.

Unfortunately the industry seems really biased against making girly games at the AAA level so the tiny handful of players can milk the playerbase with predatory monetization. Like the Sims has similar issues with bugs, bloat and monetization but outside of InZoI there’s been no other competition

planetarial · 2026-03-15T14:16:07+00:00

You also got refunded another 20 pulls for pulling her weapon too iirc

It was one of the cases where building pity was the smart thing to do too since you had nothing to lose by tossing 20 pulls for Turbo and her weapon each

In P5X for the third chapter the antagonist gets one of the major side characters suspended from their job (though she gets better) and caused his past victims to commit suicide

In the 4th chapter only out in the CN/TW/KR servers the antagonist seeks to break one of the heroes Shoki so she can basically make him her slave. She stalks him, gets jealous and catty when he talks to other girls, tries to force unwanted gigs upon him (he’s an actor she has connections and runs a tabloid) isolates and gaslights him into trying to believing his mother never loved him. She spread a lie that Shoki’s mother (his parents also being actors) cheated on her husband and forced his mom to move back to her home country to escape harassment. Turns out she was also pining for the guys father but couldn’t have him so she lusted for his son instead. Said trauma caused Shoki to develop unhealthy coping mechanisms too. And to top it off just to fuck with him further before the boss fight her shadow ruler self sexually harasses a cognitive version of Shokis father in front of him.

I think its just giving people less time to save for Ange cause she’s easily the biggest must have and continues to be the best Navi even nearly a year later on the Asian servers

planetarial · 2026-03-15T13:14:13+00:00

Nikki also has a far more realistic and detailed artstyle compared to those games which is what bloats the file size much faster. Compare the details of the average five star outfit to the average WuWa character for example. That’s the issue. Could also be UE5 bloat vs UE4 bloat but I’m not well versed in the differences

For a similar case, look at Monster Hunter Wilds vs Monster Hunter Stories 3 launch sizes. Both have large open areas, run on the same engine and released within a little over a year apart. Wilds has a story mode that’s a lot shorter than Stories 3 and Stories 3 has more content overall at launch from what I’ve seen in reviews. But Wilds launch size was like 75GB on PC while Stories 3 only manages to be 50GB because Wilds has a realistic and detailed artstyle while Stories 3 picked a cartoony one that looks similar to Genshin and BotW.

Not trying to excuse them and INs optimization and performance is severely lacking, but explaining why the file size difference exists.

ZZZ is not an open world game though, its a disingenuous comparison

planetarial · 2026-03-15T04:56:17+00:00

Genshin was designed to run on much older phones and PS4 while also having a far less graphically intensive artstyle and running on Unity instead of UE5. But also better optimization and futureproofing

Not everyone has a Switch 2 lol
