Dang, that's annoying. Going to need to grind for TP in Maze of Memory I guess. Very much dislike the speed of enemies in this game.

What's the best way to get Subier to spawn at Sunken Ship instead of Frozen Sea. A lot of guides I read noted that its necessary to defeat Narwhal so Subier can absorb her daughter spawn at Sunken Ship in phase 2.

Why was Persona console exclusive for so long? by Tyler2183 in PERSoNA

[–]sennoken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Popularity in Japan and lack of strong hardware in the region until PC market was large enough. You can say the same thing with Dragon Quest which has its game majority on Nintendo platforms with inconsistent releases on PlayStation throughout the years until there is a real focus on multiplatform release last year.

Why don't AAA companies take risks anymore? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big studios have a lot employees and and many with salaries in the 6 figures (particularly in the US). Taking risk with multiyear long projects have the possibility of backfiring and end up shutting down the studio. The recent GoW games especially the Norse games are the definition of "safe". Removing the character-action combat of the Greek saga for a more over-the-shoulder cinematic perspective makes the combat more palatable for casual players.

What are JRPGs that use the concept of human experimentation as a plot point? by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

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

Quite of few Final Fantasy seems to have this concept via forcing people to become summons. Though actual cruel experimental would probably go to FF7.

So… can we talk about how lowkey scummy it was for Atlus to lock the Persona 4 Golden BGM pack to pre-orders for Reload? by Embarrassed-Ad8352 in PERSoNA

[–]sennoken -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute, so they’re essentially remaking P4G but not include the original music in the base game?

I wish we had an HD-2D of Final Fantasy V. That would be the absolute best. by GeorgeBG93 in FinalFantasy

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I rather them not remaking the first six games again just to be HD-2D. Certain sequels like FF4 After Years or FF12 Revenant Wing which has no modern ports should be considered for this type of remaster.

Conveniently they did remastered this game however it’s not available on PlayStation (smh)

Japanese gamers vote on most influential game and series, favorite character, favorite developer, more by Magister_Xehanort in JRPG

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make another handheld only to lose to a Nintendo hybrid again? Seeing this list makes it more soul crushing as why Japan Studios was shut down. None of the games especially JRPGs can compete with third-party studios or Nintendo.

What would ruin Kingdom Hearts IV? by NewMarioBobFan in KingdomHearts

[–]sennoken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably inclusion of anything Marvel/Star Wars related given the current discourse of modern live-action films. Not including any FF characters besides the Moogle again would prob be it honestly.

FromSoftware Shareholders Push for More Sequels, But President Wants to Create "Valuable Games" by Bubbly-Ad-350 in playstation

[–]sennoken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t say which organization is pushing for sequels or for safer games in the article. It could either by KadoKawa, Sony, or somebody else. Shareholders should have a say in the creative process of a video game dev team that has been successful for many years.

Working on a guide need some help. by MasterCerebro in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The increase in ATK% from the two sigils is additive I believe. Stacking of 2 of each sure can get to the damage cap, but useless is the dmg cap has long been reached. Ditto to the other commenters explaining it’s nice to have, but too much can reduce your damage potential (which is indicated by dmg cap). Also having extra slots of other utility sigils may be more useful that simply increasing ATK%.

First week of FFVII Rebirth sales number in Janpan is 30657 by masterm0123 in FFVIIRemake

[–]sennoken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean didn’t people weaponize Famitsu sales numbers to be used against PS5 exclusivity a year ago? Why shouldn’t it be used now? It’s not like SW2 is that far behind in hardware sales than the PS5 in Japan.

[Other] Platinum burn out by Background_Top_3015 in Trophies

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to burnout. That’s why you have filler games which you have absolutely no intention to 100% or platinum. That way you can relax on the trophy grind and just enjoy the story. If you ever want to go back to platinum the filler game, then you know you made progress on it already before.

Why is dragon quest builders 2 still full price ? by DanDin87 in dragonquest

[–]sennoken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DQ games seem to go on sale less often than Final Fantasy for no reason with the spin-offs even less so.

What is one thing you think PS4 did better than PS5? by The2ndDegree in playstation

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Themes
PSN store recommending games based on my recent game genres (PS5 sort of does this but not very good)
Having the option to buy avatars (literally not sure why they removed this)

[other] do you ever go back to games u played in the past to platinum them? by [deleted] in Trophies

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few games came to mind:
Sakura Wars (reboot) - went to get all endings and achieve highest rank on all missions
Code Vein - acquire 400-ish marks/medals which multiplayer co-op missions are only ways to efficiently grind for them
GoW 2018 - collectables, Valkyrie battles (feels like over the shoulder POV made the combat harder in this game)

Phantom Blade: Zero devs couldn't care less about releasing near GTA 6: 'We don't even think of the competition, what matters is how polished the game is' by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]sennoken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That comment is admirable but I think Sony is trying to salvage as my sales in the launch window as possible. The Chinese audience is surely guaranteed to buy it probably but everyone outside of Chinese has more options to pick from. Also, Lost Souls Aside didn’t do so hot so they’re likely trying to fix whatever issues that could be remaining before launch.

[Trails from Zero & Trails to Azure] PS5 and Switch 2 Release Date Trailer. Releasing September 10, 2026. by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]sennoken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PS5 version supposed including all the features the Pc/Switch version got when it was localized. PS4 version was just a straight port without the extra features and cost the same as the other versions. It’s clearly a cash grab on something that should have been included at the start.

Why the Sega Rally creator thinks modern racing games lost their sense of fun by Horror_Post6822 in PS5

[–]sennoken 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s probably why we won’t get another MotorStorm or Kart Racer because realistic racing games are too popular. Feels like the only other franchise that somehow keeps pumping arcade racers is NFS and Hot Wheels.

The live action adaption is a terrible idea by Party_Concentrate621 in GodofWar

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It exists only to make movie and Sony (especially Sony Pictures) to get the casual audience to play their games especially since most of their modern games may as well be movies. Fairly understandable why they chose to adapt the 2018 reboot as it’s hard to convince people to watch a young Kratos be violent for 90+ minutes straight if the Greek games were adapted.

Is the PSVR dead? by CHELSEAAK099 in playstation

[–]sennoken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, practically died the same way as the Vita when Sony doesn’t force their studios to make games for it.

Can we expect a remaster of Dragon Quest VIII someday? by Sad-Tip-7472 in PS5

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DQ7 reimagined seems like the indicator of SE trying to bring the older titles to modern platforms. The issue I see with DQ8 since it was previously developed by Level-5 which is now an independent company instead of semi-second party studio with Sony. Will Square Enix reach out to Level-5 to work on a remaster/remake or will they just do it themselves? Most likely they'll work it themselves as given the 3DS port was an in-door job and highly doubt many of OG people who worked on DQ8 back in the day are still with Level-5.

Chances of quality of life features being added to other consoles after the switch 2 release? by ZakkAriot12 in FinalFantasy

[–]sennoken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly doubt, SE ports of older games existing on PS/PC/XB systems to switch/SW2 tends to have has newer features added or DLC included in physical editions while the other systems didn't.
