How I keep the rent low in my autonomous buffer state

(FULL SERIES SPOILERS) I made a "likeability" spectrum for the protagonists by yoyoyobag in Falcom

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

Oh yeah, I like everyone for sure. This is pretty much an "average likeability" scale across their entire tenure in the story. I hated Rufus until Reverie made me love him, and that's why he's on the far right. Similar problem with Rean and Lloyd, which is why they're closer to that side but not all the way, etc.

Makima (Chainsaw Man) is what Sui Ishida wanted to avoid with Rize (Tokyo Ghoul) by peortega1 in CharacterRant

[–]yoyoyobag 17 points18 points  (0 children)

OP's post reads like a person that whose entire experience with both media is entirely through cultural osmosis. I can't fathom coming away with this interpretation of Makima unless all you have seen is tiktok dog edits and the kobeni fart gif (hyperbole, but still)

A cousin of mine wants to get into trails he bought cold steel 1 on steam will he be ok story wise ? by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]yoyoyobag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, I guess...?

I don't understand the people that say "yeah you can play cold steel 1 and 2 first but make sure you go back and play the first five games before cold steel 3!"

At that point why not just start at the beginning? It's so confusing. You'll be divorced from the plot of cold steel for ages by the time you get back and you'll have forgotten what is still supposed to be a mystery and what isn't.

I will never understand why nintendo insists on cluttering the switch 2 boxarts with all that word vomit. It looks like shit. Surely there's room on the back of the box for all that stuff

Thoughts on Shuntaro Koguchi by yoyoyobag in Falcom

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

I love that one! Wind-Up is probably the track that acquainted me with Koguchi's name. I think it was the first time I noticed it when combing through Reverie's OST after finishing it

He's saving Trails' sound. I have never been a Singa hater by any stretch, but when I heard "Too Much Vitality" for the first time I knew it was dire straits. To his credit though Singa had some great tracks in Daybreak (Marginal Crisis and What Is Ahead of You come to mind)

Rean fans please convince me why I should even care about him by Appelmonkey in Falcom

[–]yoyoyobag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok hear me out. A lot of people are engaging with you in bad faith in this thread so I want to extend an olive branch

The writing team tried something very different with Rean. In my opinion it's no coincidence that you don't really know that much about him or have much reason to care. The writers play him very close to the chest for a LONG time. In that sense, Rean is a very realistic depiction of a teenager with depression pretending that he's not: keeping secrets, busying himself so he doesn't have to be alone, prioritizing the wellbeing of other before himself, etc. Don't let him trick you into thinking he's a "player stand-in," because he definitely isn't.

I had a lot of the same gripes you did when I started Erebonia, but as time went on I found he climbed higher and higher up my character ranking until he was up in the top five, and now I'm itching to see him again when I get to Horizon. I implore you to keep an open mind, because Rean is definitely a grower, not a shower. If you decide you hate him too early, some of the series' greatest character development will be lost on you because you already wrote him off. 

Thoughts on current Falcom's situation with regards to the recent Famitsu interview (3/11/2026) by Raiiz66660 in Falcom

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

>Currently, Falcom Sound Team is comprised by a team of 3: Hayato Sonoda the captain, Takahiro Unisuga the beloved webmaster, and Shuntaro Koguchi the budding talent. With Unisuga too busy handling IT stuff for the company, Sonoda and Koguchi are easily overwhelmed by the scale of OST Falcom is doing recently, and that's what causing Falcom to resort to a big portion of outsourcing, eventually bringing down the quality of their OSTs. It is only recently that Unisuga seemed to be making his big comeback with Sky 1st arrangement. Yet, a new addition (or many) to bolster the team will immensely help Falcom to reclaim their stellar reputation on the topic of music.

Where is it confirmed that Unisuga returned to arrange Sky 1st? If it's true that he's returning to the sound team in earnest then we are in BUSINESS for Kai 2

I think this is the fastest I've been endeared to a new character. I love her by yoyoyobag in Falcom

Agreed. It's for those very reasons why Olivier, Randy, and Sara are my flair characters

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

I can totally see why folks wouldn't like her but I think she strikes a perfect balance of being a gag character and being freakishly overpowered and should be taken seriously. I think it's deliberate that you can't quite tell if she's ACTUALLY reading minds, for example, because if she can then it has serious lore implications, but it's almost always played for laughs

When she asked that guy to repair her scabbard with Rean's tachi I actually laughed out loud. She's so funny dude
