    Ah yes, grizzled veteran cop Godzilla and hotheaded rookie cop Kong will solve the case.

    This might be a bit nitpicky, but no - Akaneia did not have queens between games. Both Sheema and Minerva are referred to as "Princess", and the same is true for Nyna. It's nitpicky because Marth is also still "Prince Marth" throughout the game, but he at least becomes king in his ending.

    Maybe it's just Mario logic, where many female rulers are still princesses for some reason. This was the NES era after all.

    Honestly the most interesting stories of real life monarchies are when succession happens and the rules for such are almost never commonly defined or the rules at place come into clash with the current situation of the dynasty. The rise of the few women monarchs in history are especially interesting because of that.

    Reminds me of how the Japanese imperial family currently has three people in the line of succession (Naruhito's brother, nephew, and uncle, in that order). Female rulers used to be possible, depending on the circumstances, but the succession rules were changed in 1889 so that only males could inherit.

    Of course King Ghidorah is real, why else would there be so many myths about multi-headed dragons?

    Joshua's scarf

    I had 250,000 mira at the end of FC, I wonder where Joshua bought a scarf that cost that much.

  3. Did you know? If Alear never gets into Super Smash Bros., then Engage will be the first non-remake FE to not get a main character in Smash since The Sacred Stones.

    Okay, Estelle, I can forgive you for not taking with you all the end-gear stuff I gave you last game... this time.

    Considering the earlygame equipment is statically better than FC's endgame equipment, it would be outclassed quickly either way. Now, where Estelle's mira went is another matter.

    Again, very very strong aversion to considering the princess an actual heir. It almost feels intentional at this point.

    Don't worry, Arvis will rewrite the law to allow absolute primogeniture after he and Deirdre have seven girls in a row. It's not like Azmur can come back as a ghost to haunt them over it or anything.

    (Fun fact, the first real life monarchy to adopt absolute primogeniture was Sweden in 1980.)

    Rarely has a game let you harm a child, so I have a fair bit of respect for it pretending to let you eat one...although the fact that they back pedal on it, even when playing as a baby eating monster like Venom is still sad.

    Venom spits out all the adults he eats as well. Though for some reason, civilians heal more health than enemies do.

    I'm usually not that big on the idea of Venom eating people, since the symbiote should be getting its subsidence from its host, but Ultimate Venom has a different origin from the mainline Venom (in that the symbiote was created by Peter and Eddie's fathers as a cure for cancer that went wrong, rather than being an alien) so I'm more fine with it here.

  5. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's next spirit event is Pokémon themed. Hopefully the last one will have four spirits as well, so the final Spirit list will be even (after Evil Ryu was alone in the last row for two years).

    Maybe Rean will be one of the last spirits and his battle will have you fight everyone in Class VII, haha.

  6. Ultimate Spider-Man (2005) is a good game because it prompts you to eat a child to test out Venom's eating ability. Don't worry, Venom spat him out afterwards so he's fine... probably.

    He also said he wouldn't come out of his break unless he saw a script that was really good.

    So either Sonic 3 is really good or he just likes playing Eggman that much.

    I always got the impression that he enjoys playing Eggman. Maybe letting him wear a fat suit this time was part of his conditions. If he opts to retire for good after Sonic 3, then I'm glad we got a nice little trilogy of Sonic movies with him as the villain.

    They haven't announced who's voicing Shadow yet, probably because they want to make that it's own announcement. I'm also reasonably sure that Amy will be in it; besides her being promoted as a quartet with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles nowadays, she's important to SA2's plot despite not being playable in the main story.

    Holy shit I can't believe TIL who composed the Fire Emblem theme. Seems she did the entire soundtrack up to 6, most of 7 and a couple PoR tracks.

    I'm surprised it's not more common knowledge if she's credited in every game, it's not like her Wikipedia page is hidden or anything. She's even on the FE template.

    I can't believe Sakurai was wrong about Heroes being a main game. Why am I not surprised that Edelgard is the only non-Smash Bros. character to have her own page.

  7. Now that Jim Carrey is confirmed to be returning in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, I'm looking forward to seeing his take on the scene where Eggman blows up the moon (not the meme). Incidentally, this is also the first time Carrey is playing a character three times.

    It turns out Space Jam 2 was supposed to get a Pokémon scene.

    The Pokémon executives liked it but it was cut for unrelated reasons.

    Anyway, we now have Shinji versus Sachiel, the Thir... er, Fourth Angel. Rebuild added one new Angel before Sachiel. Why? I don't remember. So now the Angel numbers are +1 in Rebuild.

    It's a good question. The (new) Third Angel showed up in the second movie, but it's not really clear what Rebuild's First Angel is despite the last film releasing years ago (there are four Adams, and Kaworu claims to be the First and Thirteenth Angel). Rebuild's Eleventh Angel never shows up either and was apparently defeated offscreen.

    And here I thought having no idea whatsoever of what it was, that each Rebuild of Evangelion movie represented its own separate and complete remake of the original anime, each going in a different direction. Not a single narrative, but maximizing milking of a much-famed anime name. -I'm not being cynical when I say this.😀

    No, that's what the mangas are for. Aside from having the same characters, most of them have nothing to do with Evangelion's plot.

    That was a lot of game devs at the time tbf. It was this brand new field.

    Looking a few things up...

    • Miyamoto was 25 when he joined Nintendo in 1977, and 29 when he made Donkey Kong
    • Tomohiro Nishikado made Space Invaders when he was was 34 (in 1978), though he made games for Taito starting from 1972
    • Toru Iwatani was 25 when he made Pac-Man
    • Sakurai was 22 when Kirby's Dream Land released in 1992

    Shoutout to Yuka Tsujiyoko, who made all the music in the first few FE games and is still credited as sound supervisor as of Engage.

    Xenosaga spoilers

    Spoiler

    We don't know enough about the original version of Xenosaga's plot to say anything for certain, but it (and potentially Margulis's death, if applicable) could've happened at the end of Episode 5 or something like that. That way you wouldn't lose him "mid-game" but rather you would have to go through the final game without him.

    Talking about this is rather complicated, since Episode 2 is actually the second half of what Episode 1 was supposed to be. Trails did the same thing actually, but Trails could afford to add games to the main plot. At least for Xenogears we know what Episodes 2 through 4 were supposed to be about.

  9. I just realized that Heroes has been around for seven years now and people still can't spell Alfonse's name right. It's like how most people think Fates's third route is called "Revelations".

    You're...

    Well, I didn't mean that it wasn't sad or anything.

    Spoiler

    I'm guessing the writers wanted Jin to die at some point and thought "eh, better late than never" when 3 was made to be the last game. It probably would've happened more "naturally" if the series wasn't cut down.

    It was still a pretty good scene though.

    ...wait why can't I see the entire results list? I must see who lost.

    ...Even if I'd picked different villains lol. Not necessarily because I like others more (though that's also a factor) but design-wise the only one here that really stands out to me is the... helmet dude? I'm assuming he's from Heroes? Would've liked to see Ashera, Lyon or Idunn here. Still, I'm nitpicking the cool piece of art at that point. This is very good.

    That's because all the characters in the art were drawn by Izuka in Heroes. FEH's anniversary pictures are frequently used to commemorate the respective artists' previous characters, so those three were left out because they were drawn by different artists.

    The helmet dude is Surtr, the villain of Heroes's second book. He has a beard and likes committing atrocities because he can, so perhaps you would like him.

    It should be fun, getting to play the game again as a remixed character is something Mario should do more often (even if Super Mario 3D World technically also did it).

    The story being rushed because of negative feedback. Now where have i seen that before........

    I think Xenosaga 3 went pretty well, for a rushed ending, but

    Spoiler

    in before Cassius randomly sacrifices himself and dies after the final boss is defeated, I'm still kind of puzzled by Jin's death.

    But I don't think the rest of Trails will be "rushed" so much that it won't meander around the main plot. Falcom doesn't have a higher company breathing down their necks like Monolith used to.

    Doubt

    To be fair, "the series will be 90% complete after Kai" and "there are five more games" aren't mutually exclusive (as unusual as that sounds). It's probably meant to hype up how many mysteries will be revealed rather than an indication of how many games there will be afterwards.

    And anyway, you should be happy that Ouroboros's motives might be explained this time.

    Congrats.

    I never managed to get the all stars in SMG myself. So while I was aware of L b/c I had the Prima guide, I never got him. How much better it was that SMG2 decided to simply have him unlock partway through the game, and not force you to go through it twice with a slightly different character.

    Thank you. Now that I think about it, getting to play the game again as Luigi as a sort of New Game Plus is a fun reward. Galaxy was the first 3D Mario to include him, so it was probably a pleasant surprise getting to play as him (if you didn't read about it in the guide beforehand, like I did).

    Not to mention, there are two Luigis in Luigi mode, and everyone knows two Luigis are better than one.

  12. Lightchao42 is a username I've used since 2008. In Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2, Light Chao are a special type of immortal Chao that have a complicated evolution process. I like them in particular because they resemble Chaos, who is one of my favorite Sonic characters.

    According to the Hitchhikers's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Nobody knows what the question is, though.

    My current profile picture is Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion, though the screenshot itself is from Evangelion 2.0; I like this image of her in particular because I think it reflects my usual demeanor.

    How does a fighting game get killed by a gacha?

    By making the creator leave the company, of course. Though at least the story was concluded beforehand, and Guilty Gear existing means that Arc System Works didn't have much incentive to continue it regardless.

    Oh yeah, that's true. It's also the first Godzilla movie to get nominated for anything.

    (Note the Godzilla figures also watching the TV)

    It makes me wonder if Minus One's unexpected international success will make Toho approach its next Godzilla film differently; it'll probably get a bigger marketing push, at least. I'd like a proper Godzilla vs. Rodan if Toho makes another versus movie anytime soon.

    I enjoy the end-of-service any% speedrun, though technically any cancelled game would have that record because they ended before they actually released.

    I'm still kind of mad that BlazBlue got a gacha that took three years to make, and then it got shut down in less than a year and now the series is dead.

    Minus One ended up becoming the highest grossing Japanese language film in the US (Pokémon: The First Movie being the highest grossing Japanese movie overall) and the highest grossing Japanese Godzilla movie, so it had an impressive run.

    It's been 3000 years... I was wondering if there wasn't going to be an artbook this time but I'm glad to be wrong.

    This is the questionnaire website, which is in Japanese. Most of the questions are about your feelings on the game overall, and there's also a question asking about any mysteries you'd like to be explained. I still think XC3 could've used an extra infodump at the end, but I have trouble remembering what my questions were at the moment.

    When people think of "the ends of the universe", they speak as if they wish to head to reach the eastern horizon, or the western, or the far north or south.

    Who wants to reach the bottom of the universe?

    Meditate on that.

    The universe is infinite, so it has no top, bottom or any boundaries. However, it does have an end of time, which is where the Restaurant at the End of the Universe is set.

    Perhaps relevantly to @Armagon's interests, the third Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book is based on the script of an unmade Doctor Who film, since Douglas Adams wrote a few Doctor Who serials in addition to the HGttG series. Adams did have some trouble thinking of any Hitchhiker's characters who would be actually interested in saving the universe though.

    Remind me- does Pikmin give you maps of the regions?

    Since you have a spaceship that spends the nights circling overhead the places you visit in day, not having detailed maps in advance doesn't make a ton of sense. Unless good planetary surface scanners are too expensive for the little whistle-blowing people in space suits. -But I get that realism isn't always a top priority in video games and that's fine.

    Every game does, but in Pikmin 1 you have to get the Whimsical Radar first, which is available early on. Now that I think about it, how many first installments can you think of that have a 1 retroactively added to their title?

    And to be fair, Olimar starts off with a mostly wrecked ship in the first game.

    Child me was too slow a player and nervous with the time limits. The literal bugginess of Pikmin more than anything is what probably stands in the way now.

    It took me a bit to get my bearings in the Forest Navel, so it's hard for me to imagine how my younger self would've gotten through it. It makes me appreciate Pikmin 2's lack of time limit in retrospect. Though Pikmin 2 is the Pikmin version of Thracia 776 later on, my lack of memory card space meant that I never found that out.

    CPC8bLt.jpg

    While I have seen plenty of Pikmin playthroughs before, this was my first time playing it myself, so I think this is a decent run. I'm interested in seeing if I can complete future runs in fewer days; Pikmin is similar to Metroid in that it's designed to be played multiple times to improve your strategy (and hopefully to lose less Pikmin the next time).

    --------------------------

    As for the cult talk, the next FE should have an anime evil organization with a bunch of superpowered freaks, prioritizing varied designs and personalities instead of a bunch of cloaked guys. They can still be mysterious, but they should most importantly be cool.

    And I like political stories in FE as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't complain too much if Shadow Emperor Ghidorah shows up at some point and contextualizes how unimportant human wars are in the face otherworldly monstrosities. Or something like that, I just like giant monsters.

    Aw man, I can't believe Oatchi was disconfirmed as a DLC character. I'm not sure if they're all in the first event, or if each of the games here will get their own spirit event.

    Lucky you, that's some serious money right?

    What, you expect me to sell one of my games? Maybe, but it doesn't seem to go for that much being that Melee is the best selling GameCube game. It's no Cubivore, that's for sure (which I also have, incidentally). Also I'm pretty sure that at least one of my copies doesn't work, but I'll have to check that later.

    Still remember the story my pal told me about how... I think it was precisely this game that told him "your party is upstairs" but translated party as in, social gathering. He was sorely disappointed.

    Oh yeah, I heard the Spanish version is especially bad.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think most English translations in the late 90s were done in Japan and English wasn't the translators' first language, hence the various typos. What a beautiful Duwang...

  23. Yesterday I learned that I have two copies of Super Smash Bros. Melee, don't ask me how that happened.

    I thought this was going to be about Half-Life or Portal before the tweet loaded.

    I ain't listing anyone past that.

    Only two of these games have any chance of being rereleased within the next decade but besides Guinivere being promoted to playable character status, Lilina would likely become a "main character" so Roy has somebody to talk to aside from Merlinus. Maybe Arion can be playable if they have enough room on the menus for him this time.

    Goodness me, they really didn't proofread anything. Not even the main story scenes. Nobody playtested this? Was playtesting just not a thing back in 1998?

    Never play Final Fantasy VII

    I mean, they misspelled her name as "Aeris" and everything. Though the glaring typos are fixed in the modern releases of the game.

    Always remember to check what your Geiger counter does! Not that Olimar knows what half of his ship parts do, now that I think about it.

    I am once again approaching Ryza 3's endgame. Haha what if i reset agai-no! Damn it, i have to finish this game. But i don't wanna. Why must games have an ending?

    Armagon traveling through time to start Ryza 3 over yet again:

    (except this isn't real and the game is actually over, probably)

  25. I can't believe there was a whole localization discussion without mentioning

    For reference, Mega Man X5's translator renamed the bosses after Guns N' Roses members to impress her husband (they're divorced now). Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 renamed all of them to be more faithful to the Japanese names, so Duff McWhalen is now Tidal Whale in English.

    I'm flattered that you remembered. I never got around to unlocking every character though...

    As an aside, I might have been the first person to upload the contents of Three Houses' Shadow Library online, and a great evil was unleashed upon The Discourse as a result.

    That is, assuming the trial itself is handled well. The current fear is that Alear and Diamant will be the protagonists of Ivy's trial arc and she'll be essentially a prop sitting on a chair, and I'm afraid it sounds alarmingly plausible.

    But every Ace Attorney game is like that. There was one time when a defendant was proactive in defending themself, and I was rather surprised by it, but it turned out there was a specific reason for that.

    Who is going to burst in with decisive evidence of Ivy's innocence? I can't wait to see Sombron's breakdown when Alear yells "Take that!" at him.
