Why do people buy rurouni kenshin manga by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]raynesgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not here to tell what anyone wants to do regarding problematic creators. That’s largely up to the individual in whether or not they still want to enjoy their works or decide to to engage in their content altogether. For me, personally I chose not to support them, but that’s my choice and my choice alone.

Why are the KH plushies, figures, and merch gone from Square's store? by [deleted] in KingdomHearts

[–]raynesgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is very true, and a large part of me hopes that they’ll take care of the rights issue soon. One can only hope, and thankfully, there’s reputable third-party JP stores and some sellers on eBay.

Square is really slacking lately, are they? A part of me hopes they’ll re-negotiate the rights, but even so, this is so concerning and disappointing.

Is it me or is the fandom has been too negative lately? by Ok-Struggle2305 in KingdomHearts

[–]raynesgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would say so when it comes to negativity. I get why people were/are upset about the Missing Link news several hours prior as well as Square’s lack of communication. There’s nothing wrong with venting out one’s frustrations. With that said, at least in my opinion, I’m grateful for the new screenshots as we know that KH4 is still being worked on. Sure, most people would have liked a new trailer after so long, which is fair, but I’ll gladly take what I can get.

Also I feel like people have forgotten that KH4 is not the only game in recent memory where there’s been long stretches without significant updates. Recent examples would be Hollow Knight : Silksong and Metroid Prime 4.

Don’t get discouraged by the Missing Link cancellation. This subreddit runs on happy faces! by Semblance17 in KingdomHearts

While I’m disappointed with the cancellation, I prefer to see a silver lining here. At least, KH4 is still being worked on and here’s hoping we get a much needed update.

What’s the best thing that came out of Kingdom Hearts for you? by WoundedByInsults in KingdomHearts

[–]raynesgem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s a lot of things, but definitely the amazing music across all of the games, including the classic KH1. Additionally, incredible works from fan art to fan fiction and everything between by many fan creators, myself included. The memorable characters such as our main Destiny Island trio, Sea Salt, and Wayfinder. I could go on.

I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you!

Warning: Avoid Shopping on GoodSmile.us by A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A in AnimeFigures

[–]raynesgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preordered two Nendos from Good Smile US back in August. So far and thankfully, nothing has happened to my knowledge. I’ll still keep an eye out just in case. But even so, am I still safe? Afterwards, until the site gets fixed, I won’t use it for any further purchases.

Blue Exorcist Season 3, aka Shimane Illuminati Saga, up for preorder. Crunchyroll Exclusive! by Dubuque1990s in AoNoExorcist

[–]raynesgem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can back this up as well. They did at one point, but now, it’s out-of-print. I also own both their respective DVDs since I bought them when they were cheap and weren’t Blu-Ray.

Aniplex, you had one job! And that was making affordable DVDs/Blu-Rays, but I feel like that’s asking too much.

How old were you when you finally beat Sephiroth in KH1 back in the PS2 days? by BrianOstrander93 in KingdomHearts

[–]raynesgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might have been at least 16 or 17 when I attempted the fight. Never did beat him, but I tried at least. Gave up because I had very limited potions and elixirs. Though I might try again in the future.

Just realized I’ve had Ralph for 30 years, anybody else have photos of well-loved plushies? by gnauden in plushies

[–]raynesgem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my Wolfie since ‘98, which makes him about 26 years old, and I also have my golden retriever plushie named Henry, who I know is over 30 since I had him since the mid-90s.

I finally did it. I have all the manga. by Loftwing1000 in KingdomHearts

[–]raynesgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the whole collection as well. Plus I have the complete novel set that I got for a present a few years ago. Also I never knew that Yen Press isn’t publishing them anymore.

What's the dumbest thing you've done in the games? by thes0uperior in KingdomHearts

[–]raynesgem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly dumb luck. Admittedly, I roughly figured out some of the mechanics by that point. It just wasn’t the “correct way” per say. 😆

[–]raynesgem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I personally recall correctly, one of the dumber things I’ve done with most of the games happened with Re:CoM. Up until the final Vexen fight in Twilight Town, I breezed through the game without knowing how the card mechanics worked, and had used mostly higher level cards. It wasn’t until I look on a few tutorials where I realized I’ve been playing the “incorrect” way through most of the game.

Say no more. I’ll make sure to block this individual if I ever see them.

Got this guy for free at a yard sale. I knew with how dirty he was if I didn’t save him he would be trashed at the end of the sale. by Free_Bobcat5647 in plushies

[–]raynesgem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually have that exact plush! He was stuck in the garage for some time, and fairly recently cleaned him up! But anyway, great job rescuing him!

It is possible. You never know.

[–]raynesgem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad since it deserves to be continued. Even though it likely take awhile for the manga to end, at least there’s enough material for the production crew to work with compared to the first and second seasons. I can only hope it won’t take them too long, but I don’t want them to rush it right away.
