  1. How Spider-Man: Far From Home should've went Oh, I don't really mind if you go back to it or not. I just thought it was funny that Trails did something you liked (for once). Trails in the Sky starts pretty slow and sometimes even I wonder how I got through it (it was the promise of eventually seeing Rixia, probably), though I generally didn't mind the relaxed pace too much. Trails from Zero and Trails of Cold Steel open with in medias res segments to assure you that there will be a main conflict eventually. Actually you should start with Trails through Daybreak, apparently some characters treat the protagonist like he's an old man (he's 24). Hey, want to hear about a Japanese video game that was originally released on PC? I think Japanese developers only release games on Xbox if Microsoft pays them. Which is mostly just Persona, Yakuza, and a handful of Capcom games it looks like. Dragon Quest XI also got an Xbox port, which probably came with the territory of the definitive edition also getting a PS4 port.
  2. I saw Spooder-Man: Across the Spooder-Verse, Miguel did nothing wrong. It was good, but I can't judge it fully because it's just the first half of one bigger movie (aka it's Trails). It's already the longest American animated film, too. I like how Spot goes from a funny joke villain to a funny cosmic horror. All the different versions of Spider-Man were fun, they even included the one that sounds like Marth, but I wish they included Marvel vs. Capcom Spider-Man. He could say "Guess I'd better call for backup", tag in Vergil, and then Miles hears boss music. Why did they include Peni if she was only going to get one line of dialogue? She's living up to her Evangelion roots more so maybe she accidentally caused Third Impact back in her universe. It would be funny if they did it like Breath of the Wild and you also have to fight all the bosses you skipped. Hey, you know what other JRPG series does that? Oh I see, it's actually Paper Mario: Sticker Star.
  3. I saw some strangers get married today, it was pretty nice. Or rather the wedding was in public and I happened to be in the general vicinity at the time, so whether that counts as "seeing" is open to debate. In hindsight, Super Mario 64 DS feels like a strange game. Not just because it's Mario's premier 3D game on a portable console, but it also added a decent amount of new content. Could you imagine if Super Mario Odyssey got an updated version that added three new characters and 220 new Moons to collect? Wario is also playable, which is unusual because it's the only mainline Mario where that's the case. Since Luigi was playable, there were rumors about Waluigi being a secret character instead. It was good, I enjoy the fact that cats auto-revive upon death as long as they have lives left in the Shrek universe (though it didn't share as much continuity with the Shrek series as one might expect, or its predecessor for that matter). I'm glad that I understand all the memes now. That's right, but I wonder how many other movies that description would apply to... You have done a great service for Izana fans everywhere. I see, I should've known that a Garon fan would enjoy trap girl. I can't believe Serenes Forest has been graced by Mike Stoklasa and Rich "Rich Evans" Evans. It broke new ground!
  4. Today is Miyamoto's birthday, so Link has tamed the forces of nature to commemorate the occasion. I'm spending most of my time bumbling around rather than progressing the plot. In this case, riding on Dinraal made traveling the Depths much easier. Also, I saw the funny movie where a cat faces his mortality. I would've liked to see more of Wolf but I understand that giving him more screentime might undermine how menacing his few appearances are. There are more yellow cells than the other colors, so I assume those are yours. Though I'm not sure if you'd choose to write for Setsuna or not. Yeah, they mixed up the height and length parameters I think. Green witch? I can't believe they're adding Gruntilda from Banjo-Kazooie.
  5. Amusing detail from Falcom's online shop: Now we know where Estelle buys her sneakers. "[T]he entities formerly known as Mario and Luigi" is an inherently funny sentence. I also find it funny that the Double Cherry was created by accident. One developer accidentally added two Marios during testing and everyone thought it was a good idea for a power-up. Plot twist: they think Ozai did nothing wrong. Ace Attorney writers: Over Pikmin 4? For shame! Not that I'm interested, but I feel obligated to defend Pikmin 4's honor.
  6. Technically the answer is Animal Crossing, because it already exists. Though I don't expect it to get a non-Japanese film anytime soon because it doesn't really have a plot. I think Kirby has the biggest "popularity vs. workability" ratio, but Splatoon could work with a "group of Inklings try to make it big in the Turf Wars and foil an Octarian plot in the process" plot. I'll give Pikmin some credit as well, because making Pikmin a household name is probably Miyamoto's goal in life. Star Fox gets a shoutout because Miyamoto is invested in that series as well (though probably not to Pikmin's extent) and could easily translate to an animated movie, while Metroid would be the logical next choice for a live-action movie. Basically, I think Kirby would make the most sense but I wouldn't be surprised the rest of the series I mentioned got something at some point in the future.
  7. Deep Mario lore This was the general consensus I think. They need more time for the next Calvard game so next year Falcom will release a fishing simulator, Trails of Cold Reels. Relatedly, Falcom is also releasing two Switch games next year. The design and actor of the main character changes every so often, as does the supporting cast, so it feels more like British people's JoJo to me.
  8. The stuff that Xenoblade voice actors get up to. Nah, Nintendo is saving him for Wario. "Generic Zelda" would probably be A Link to the Past/Ocarina of Time inspired with some Breath of the Wild for aesthetics. Or it'll be Smash Bros. inspired and Ganondorf will hit Link with a Falcon Punch. I don't know, if I was Peter Jackson I'd probably be a bit tired of making epic fantasy movies after the Hobbit trilogy. Sadly New Zealand will have to go without a boost to tourism for now.
  9. It was just an ordinary day when Miyamoto made a sudden announcement on Twitter. It'll probably be a few years before it releases, so we'll have plenty of time to discuss how the movie will go. Discuss your various feelings, ideas, hopes, and fears here!
  10. This is Miyamoto. The real question is... who will play Tingle?
  11. Hateno Village must face its greatest challenge yet... mayoral elections! Now we just need Olivier to show up to ease tensions between the opposing sides. Though Ganondorf kind of sounds like Olivier in this game, now that I think about it. I hope Godzilla performs his flying dropkick in Minus One. He finally has a move to compete with Melia's Starlight Kick (ouch!). After 2025, we'll have to wait until 2039 for Biollante's 50th anniversary short. I wonder if Pikmin 5 will be out by then... Minus One has one of the best Godzilla designs. Maybe top five, at least? But they have the same voice actor as Shu Amiguchi. Gotta put on a show for Yuki-chan... Loanwords are fairly common. "Karaoke" is Japanese and means "empty orchestra". Did you know? The phrase "loan translation" is a loan translation from the German Lehnübersetzung. "Loanword" is not a loanword, but it is another loan translation from German (Lehnwort this time). "Calque", another term for loan translation, is a loanword from French meaning "imitation".
  12. No context Sakurai I figured out that you can get to the Deku Forest from the depths, which I previously suspected but I didn't feel like going there at the time. Not that I actually know what to do in the Deku Forest, mind you. At least Indohyus still has Elomeryx and Anthracotherium to hang out with. Those will only evolve into semiaquatic mammals. I'll just dodge all the weird pairings and romance Azura instead... dang it!
  13. I tried to be clever and headed to the Lost Woods after the Wind Temple to see if anything interesting is there, but it appears to be locked off by plot progress. It's a shame that you can't go straight to the final boss this time, the game is ruined! You can't activate the tower either, I assume it'll be available after finishing every dungeon. So that's where the Triforce went, no wonder it wasn't in Breath of the Wild... No, she would try to concubine him first. It's a match made in Heaven, truly. In the case of Nabbit and the Yoshis not taking damage, I think it's partially to balance them being unable to use powerups. Reminds me of when my friends all wanted to play as someone other than Mario, so they had him float in a bubble the whole time whenever I wasn't around to play as him. That's because Rinkah's abs are painted on, have you seen her strength growth? I think we can all agree, fanservice is alright as long as it appeals to Lightchao42 specifically.
  14. Now dig on this I have cleared Tears of the Kingdom's Wind Temple, Link is too broke to afford proper cold protection gear (all the Rupees from his last adventure must have been invested in Hyrule's restoration) so I had to make deal with cold protection food instead. Also, Zelda found a shiny gold horse between games, in addition to the white one you can get in the previous game (and the horses you got in BotW carry over to TotK, which was a pleasant surprise). I intended to name it Aurum, but one of the autofill words was Aureole and I liked that better. Besides referring to a halo of light surrounding a holy person, fitting for a horse belonging to Zelda, it is coincidentally the name of an actual racehorse. It's also an overpowered ability in Xenoblade 3 and similarly named to a legendary Fire Emblem tome, among other things. Oh hey, it's the best Fire Emblem character.
  15. Relatable I see... This is actually intentional, they just forgot to include the scene where Venom sneaks into Miles's apartment to switch his Puerto Rico flag for a Cuba one. It's probably a plot hole as to why Miles never notices however. It is mildly bothersome how David Tennant is both the Tenth and Fourteenth Doctors, even if they are technically different incarnations that just happen to look the same. It's like how Grover Cleveland is both the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. Though the existence of the War Doctor means the numbering was already rather inconsistent.
  16. Having spent most of my time in Tears of the Kingdom bumbling around so far, I eventually made my way to the Great Plateau because I recall Armagon saying it's a good idea. I plan on visiting each area in the opposite order as I did in BotW, so I'll visit the Rito first and then the Gorons -> Gerudo -> Zora. I also fought a Gleeock, it did not go well. Do you make a weird face every time you eat it?
  17. It turns out that sticking three mine carts together with only one fan is a questionable idea. I had to jump off and climb the rest of the way. I was very surprised when the mysterious masked protagonist turned out to be Factory Worker Garon all along. Then he said "Gahaha!", stole Rean and Lloyd's girlfriends, and went on to solo the final boss. I'm sure you'll finish Ryza 3 before the next Atelier game releases... probably. I try to make use of everyone (which isn't too hard, since characters gain a level or two after basically every battle in the postgame) but I found myself using more than I expected going in. Roselia gets an honorary mention, because she was the first gold sealing stone character I got and I like characters with high ATS. I think Laura has one of the lowest ATS among my characters at the moment, so it might take some work. As an aside, I generally have everyone keep their default Master Quartz; I made an exception for Aegis and Infinity, since Noel starts with the former and using a ranged attacker as a tank didn't make much sense. I like the way Doom Eternal used extra lives, since they revive you immediately rather than sending you back to a checkpoint. I'm not sure how Mario would handle the same thing, and they'd probably be less common in that case.
  18. This is how you're supposed to complete this challenge, right? Being that you have 51 characters to use, I imagine part of the fun is figuring out wacky ways to defeat enemies. Caster Laura let's gooooooooo I made jokes about the large cast before release, but I found that managing equipment and upgrades for so many characters was easier than I was expecting. Thanks, though I'm not done with everything yet so I might have some other things to talk about. Like how I'll probably never beat everyone in Pom Pom Party, for example. Thank you. I look forward to finding bizarre and time-consuming ways to clear the game's challenges.
  19. Yesterday was the first day in seven months that I didn't play Trails. But now I can talk about something else for once (until Trails through Daybreak releases), since I got the latest release from one of Nintendo's biggest series... Hmm, Super Mario Bros. Wonder looks... different from what I expected. It must be one of those new Wonder Effects. Not to mention, they even included gloom from the hit game Pikmin 4. I look forward to seeing the deep lore connections between Ganondorf and the Smoky Progg.
  20. Trails into Reverie has the true final boss of all time. The game isn't completely finished once you've done that, since there's still one last Daydream. It only took almost two years since I started Trails in the Sky, but I'm finally caught up. Now I can finally play this Sporcle quiz (I got 293/298). I wonder what to do now... Also, I can't believe I finished four Trails games before Armagon finished Atelier Ryza 3. I see, though I thought it would've been pretty funny if Eirika and Moulder were inexplicably in a Binding Blade hack.
  21. With another year comes another upcoming Godzilla short, this one to commemorate Godzilla vs. Megalon's 50th anniversary. It's also a sequel to last year's Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex. Megalon looks good in this artstyle; as for Jet Jaguar, he's appearing in a different short. Allegra Clark has a lot of range, I'm sure she could do a good impression. Though Dorothea hates fighting, so she probably wouldn't be in a position to get disfigured in the first place. Reminds me of how Metroid Fusion has a secret message if you do a series of Shinesparks to skip getting the Diffusion Missiles. ADAM even wonders how many people will see it, but he makes Samus go back for the Diffusion Missiles before continuing the plot. There was that time in Mothra vs. Godzilla where Godzilla emerges from underground after being buried by a typhoon. Wait a minute, I thought your hack was about The Binding Blade? Unless you made another one. Welcome back. More people should use Sakura's Forest.
  22. Wowie zowie, let's give our new Mario and Luigi a warm welcome. I await the long-time-coming sequel to Mystery, where Michalis returns and dies again during the ending. Now I'm imagining someone playing Three Houses blind, and they're really excited to see the students all grown up, and then Dorothea shows up inexplicably looking just like Palpatine. Though you can't S-support her until the game is over, so it's not like you can romance her beforehand. Though I loathe the idea of replacing Allegra Clark, timeskip Dorothea can be voiced by Danny DeVito. At least there are no other FE characters named Harold... wait.
  23. I've finished Trails into Reverie's last "normal" daydream, which was very good (though I lack any no-context images to share from it). I'll get to the actual end of the Reverie Corridor later, but for now I have some unsorted musings about the future of the Trails series. I wonder how many of these predictions will be right ten years from now... I think prequels can work as an exception. Torna: The Golden Country and Revenge of the Sith have bleak endings, but it's more acceptable because we know the heroes will set things right eventually. I'm not sure why this topic is about Awakening because if it was setting up a bleak ending, there wouldn't be so many friendship speeches. My favorite clearly non-canon, pseudo-postgame extra was when Camus survived being defeated by Marth and somehow floated across the sea to a different continent. Because if one were to think about it, Gaiden is basically Shadow Dragon's postgame. I was going to ask why you made Jahn so weak that even generic enemies can annihilate him, but it turns out the player and enemy colors are switched. A main character being incredibly weak would fit the Binding Blade experience however.
  24. I'm am hungry I want some lasaga After all this time... Finally, I have them all. The gold sealing stones, that is, since I'm still not done with the Reverie Corridor. Did you get the AX characters already? The world needs more of funny taxi alien PJ. Punished "Venom" Peter is just mad at the writers, can you blame him? Normally I'd assume these are alternate universe Spider-Man and Mary Jane, but you can never be too sure with comics... Relevant Did you encounter the Blue Badger yet?
  25. Thank you Though I only have two characters left to get, I'd prefer if gold sealing stones were more common in the postgame. It really is Xenoblade 2 all over again! Even when I do get the last characters, I still have to view the last two/three Daydreams and finish the True Reverie Corridor, so it's not like I'll be done soon anyway. Oh man, I wish they added Veyle and Lilith before they ditched Dragonween (preferably together as a harmonic). Dorothea moment (she has three alts but not her standard) I'm partial to Mimas No relation to the Death Star. It also bears an uncanny resemblance to Pac-Man.
