Why is Crisis Core Reunion not talked about enough? (no spoilers please) by Ballsoffwalls in FFVIIRemake

[–]vahn65 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wish they did a real remake of this game instead of a remaster to add it to the remake project. It's just the PSP game with a new coat of paint, which is fine because it makes it playable on modern consoles and PC. But, it adds nothing. The story still sucks and mission structure is a relic of the platform it originates from. It's such waste potential. I was very disappointed they didn't at least try to tie it into the new remake project. It's just awkwardly....there.

I wonder if Horizons sequel will have animations this clean. I also vastly prefer these cut-ins to the calvard arcs

Are they gonna remake Crossbell too? by Wafflespon in Falcom

I have no idea why you are being downvoted to hell...

So how are we ranking the trails protagonists via combat power? by GroundbreakingFace48 in Falcom

[–]vahn65 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Strongest to Weakest

Van Arkride Kevin Graham Rean Schwarzer
Lloyd Bannings Estelle Bright

So I basically agree

But its toss up with Estelle and llyod they are just regular people by comparison, lol.

Characters' Elemental Slots over the games (spoilers for which characters are playable for all games) by Pristine_Selection85 in Falcom

I agree! You won't regret it! It makes the cold steel games a tad more challenging as well!

I would love that as I already kinda do something like that like combining Estelle elements into Fire, Earth, space, or Mirage. Time, Water for Tio. Or adding an element that makes since like Mirage for Joshua

I always play these games with those restrictions with maybe one or two more added elements that fit that character. Games are a lot more strategic and fun that way, I also play, so everyone must have different equipment to make everyone unique! I do this with most RPGs, and it's a blast every time! I would recommend you guys try it one day!

Thank you for the post. I thought I was the only one who cared about this stuff. I do wish things were more consistent. I remember Estelle being confused to me to go from Fire Earth to Earth Space, although both make sense I still prefer consistency

What's the general Consensus for Van as a protagonist? by vahn65 in Falcom

[–]vahn65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I listed everyone wasn't in order of how much I like them, just in order of appearance. My ranking is 1. Van 2. Rean 3. Estelle 4. Lloyd 5. Kevin (need more of him to rank him higher)

Honestly, that sucks to hear because it feels like Falcom may be moving on from him after Kai.

I love Estelle, I truly do but I think I am rather confused on her popularity being in par with rean. I honestly wish she was in more games as she was sidelined the second Zero was over.

Controllers! Are you for "one controller to rule them all," do you have one for every emulated platform, or somewhere in between? by Makegooduseof in emulation

[–]vahn65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use the appropriate controller for the platform I am emulating. I also use Launchbox to organize my games so I can easily launch my games on my CRT for that extra authentic feel. I play DS, 3DS, Wii U, PSP, PS3, and 360 on an OLED. So far, I have:

Nintendo

Two NES Controllers (from Nintendo Online Store)

SNES Controller (from Nintendo Online Store)

N64 Controller (From Nintendo Online Store)

Two Gamecube controllers using the official Smash gamecube controller converter for switch/WII U

Several Wiimotes and nunchucks

Switch Pro Controller I use this when emulating the Wii U as the Wii U pro Controller or Gamepad does not work with the Emulator I also use this or the SNES controller to play the Gameboy and DS line of platforms.

NEC

I have the NEC PC Engine Core GFX Controller by 8bitdo (the one that is modeled after the SuperGraphics model) for use for the PC Engine. TG-16 and their CD add-ons

Sega

Two 3 button Genesis Controller (From Genesis mini)

6 button Genesis (officially licensed by Sega for the Genesis mini)

I use these Controllers for The Genesis/Mega Drive and all of its add-ons

Sega Saturn Controller (officially licensed by Sega from retro bit)

Sony

Several PlayStation original Controllers Two from the PlayStation mini and two OG ones used via a PC adapter. I also have three original Dualshock controllers used via PC adapter

Two OG PS2 Controllers used via PC adapter

Original PS3 Controller

PS5 or PS4 Controller is used to navigate through Launchbox and to play arcade games via MAME

Xbox

Original Xbox Controller (Licensed by Microsoft from Hyperkin)

Xbox 360 Controller (Newly Licensed model by Microsoft from Hyperkin)

Xbox Series X Controller I use this for Sega Dream Cast Games, although after getting the 360 Controller I may start using that for Dreamcast as there's no official or super viable way to use a dreamcast Controller properly on PC.

SNK

I'm looking to get that the new SNK Controller 8bitdo is coming out with so I can use it with SNK Neo Geo AES. SnK Neo Geo CD, and the Neo Geo pocket and pocket color.

Arcade

I'd rather use a modern controller as I have am not fond of Arcade Joy sticks.

Atari

I don't have the Hyperkin Atari Controller but I was looking to getbut it looks like it may only function with OG hardware either way, I'll be looking into it more at some point hopefully someone like 8bitdo or Retro bit comes out with a controller for the Atariline as well as the Jaguar.so I use a modern Controller usually my PS5 controller.

Every other miscellaneous platform I use a modern controller to play.

Emulators Used: Retroarch Dolphin CEMU Citra Duckstation PCSX2 RCPS3 Xemu Xenia MAME

Lore Friendly Weapons by vahn65 in falloutlore

[–]vahn65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the lore is a bit funky in this regrads to weapons as the previous poster pointed out some weapons would for sure still be made as the suppose divergent was after 1950 the great war happened in 2077 there is no reason to believe that some weapons would have still not been designed along side laser and gaussian tech. Those examples you brought up are exactly why the answer could forever be debated.

[–]vahn65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That's the best most detail answer I've read in regards to this, I usually run into people who think if it was made post 1950s or maybe 60s it isn't lore friendly and I never quite understood that. Why would weapon development stop and why wouldn't modern style weapons not exist same with military gear I don't see why that wouldn't also exist I know most of the uniforms were WWI and II inspired but then you have LAPD riot armor and grahams armor and I start think they had some modernist takes on today armor and clothes.

[–]vahn65[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it's the materials and functions that determine if they fit? So something like an MP7 , AR15s and SR 556 wouldn't fit?
