  1. Danganronpa is one of the biggest fandoms I see in the anime community and managed to sell over 200K copies in North America on the Vita. I imagine a PC release on Steam will push a lot more copies. It's still a niche genre but it pushes comparable numbers to Ace Attorney, and I think most would agree AA is niche, but not consider it obscure or underrated. I think WEWY was held back a bit by low shipment of units initially which makes it more rare as a physical copy than it should have been. However sales numbers are a bit misleading as far as how many people played this game as the DS had a huge piracy problem. It is a very popular game to cosplay from thanks to Nomura's fantastic art style so I think this game found a good audience.
  2. Heh, Dangan Ronpa underrated when it had three sequels and an anime? That sounds pretty successful to me. They are even getting a PC release. As far as VNs go, that game is hugely successful. Same with WEWY, pretty sure when that game came out on the DS it got glowing reviews and amassed a sizable fanbase. The characters even reappear in Kingdom Hearts. The HD version is on iOS with a remastered soundtrack as well. I really enjoyed Lost Kingdoms on the GCN. You fling cards at enemies that either transform into allied monsters, do some cool super move, or defend your character. You can capture weak enemies to convert into more cards. The game is not very long but I remember having fun with it. I heard the sequel was even better but my video store kept renting me the wrong game so I kept ending up with Bloody Roar instead, makes me a bit sad I never got to play it.
  3. I personally like Tifa, I didn't really find her outfit out of the realm of imagination or character-breaking, considering her 2nd job was a barkeeper and it's generally acknowledged that service workers are often also meant to be titillating (how you feel about *that* is another matter). I also like Bayonetta. Even Camilla from Fire Emblem Fates is quite popular although personally I wish she'd put on pants as I'm sure riding a dragon in panties is very uncomfortable. I think there's very few people here who are completely against sexy women who are sexually forward but the question people are asking is this: Is the sexiness essential to the character or is the costume pointless to communicating the character's personality? I feel like being attractive is a staple of video games, as people have a hard time finding ugly people "cool". However, most women are saddled with outfits that are impractical or compromising with little reason to exist. Let's take the upcoming Star Ocean 5 for example. [spoiler=Embarrassing outfit ahoy!] The game isn't out yet, but what about this outfit is going to be essential to her character? What would be lost by filling in all the diamond cutouts? Or even half of them and just leave them open in key places? How does this stay on? I realize Star Ocean always has a token sexy mage and at least this isn't AS bad as Meracle from SO4 (which makes me feel like I'm going to go to jail for looking at her), but the game has gone from "plausible sexy" to "How is this even an outfit" ever since Star Ocean 3. SO4 also happens to have taken a huge decline in quality from SO3 so I feel like the over the top sexiness of the outfits is being used as a crutch. Meh, currently Star Ocean is an easy target for "bad RPG with bad characters". More relatably, in Fire Emblem you can just point at Nowi and all the knights. People just don't like Nowi's outfit and it has nothing to do with her character which leads to people crying about sexualized children. Sully and female great knights and generals being pantsless also rubs people the wrong way. It doesn't add to anyone's character, it's just bad design for characters who are supposed to be taken seriously in combat yet wore their shortest booty shorts to battle.
  4. Heh, those easy mode options. I actually don't mind, if you want to just play FF9 for the story and not spend a hundred hours on sidequests then this is the best way to do it. Especially for a mobile game where battery life is at a premium so you only get to play for chunks at a time. $16+ is a bit too high for my blood though, as the original is on PSN and playable on the PSP for only $10. High speed mode might honestly be worth the extra money though. Too bad the CDN$ is crap right now.
  5. You playing RO still? I'm on iRO Classic again... going complete noob this time around.
