RF4 was such a great game. Hopefully RF5 will be an expansion of what RF4 did so well. Maybe have a bigger town, more characters, an orchestrated soundtrack, etc. Sounds very optimistic. Wonder when they'll start showing off real footage of the game then. I'm skipping RF4 for now, but I might want to get back into it with 5, depending on what it adds and all.  2 hours ago, Armagon said: I suppose the big question is, will it still be top-down like most games in the series or will it be full 3D? I'd prefer the former since you have a bigger field of view when farming. I prefer top-down for different reasons. Frontier was fine in full 3D, Tides of Destiny not so much, but I liked the appearance of hand-drawn environments over 3D graphics. RF might have a bigger budget this time, but I still don't see the polygon counts and textures being first-class. Then again, with the transition off of pure portables to a hybrid system, maybe the changeover is inevitable. I don't want the abandonment of 2D portraits during conversations either, ToD's choice to do that was stylistically unpleasing, some "anime" artwork beats closeups of second-rate 2D model. If it sounds like I'm picking on ToD, it's because visually, it feels "cooler" but not as "quaint, vibrant, harmonious fantasy nature" as the other games. Frontier held onto this vibe, with a rustic touch. Edited August 10, 2020 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Apparently I thought I had recruited a Gigantes. Turns out I don't have one. Huh, I'm sure I had recruited one. I wonder if something happened and I didn't save after before closing the app. Well, here's to trying to get one all over again. If not... well, might use Rebjørn instead. Also, pft, Starkers has level ups where he gains nothing. In others he only gains like +5 to HP or MP. I guess that's the downside of him reaching to 99, having max stats, and them being quite high already at level 1. At least he has a spread out skill chart. Well, will keep trying next time.

Speaking of both ToD and Frontier, are either of those worth checking out? The only RF game I've played is 4 and 4S and I was wondering about the Wii/PS3 games and if they were any good. ------------ WTH? My Windows partition has been so glitchy since the latest update a little while ago. Programs have started crashing and I couldn't even get Firefox to open so I could troubleshoot from there. Boot Camp has always been a bit iffy but that update seems to have made things worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Ugh... good morning Found sleep for two hours or something. At least got awake at time. I'm super excited for work today... @twilitfalchion Blossom is useful on Astrid since she has Paragon. Or use it on units who are very close to a level up (+90 exp.). Master Crown should be used on units who have capped the important stats fast. Soren should cap magic, skill and resistance early. Give him a few bexp. levels to fix his speed and then use the crown. Then you have another staff user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately it can't be helped if you are living under the roof. The heat can't vanish because it doesn't cool down anymore. Currently having 21 °C which is by far not enough. A climate conditioner wouldn't fix the issue for me since I can't take the coolness and the noise. Also checking out weather; it doesn't look good at all. It becomes slightly cooler at the end of the week, but not enough to cool down (still close to 30 °C). If it was dry heat like friday when it can cool down at night, then I'd be fine with it. But the tropical conditions since yesterday are poison for me. Edited August 10, 2020 by Julian Teehee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightcosmo Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I'm with Armagon in saying, where is our Xenoblade chronicles X port/remake? I really like its gameplay, but the Wii U isnt the best system, so yeah. Fighting Tyrants is easily something I would gladly do all over again if there would be a port. I was looking at my file and thought about it, and I really would like one. Edited August 10, 2020 by lightcosmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) When a trip down memory lane makes you facepalm, but then somehow smile afterwards.😆  And I dusted off an old file of the original Paper Mario I had on my Wii U. I left it back in 2017 in the middle of the volcano. If they ever rerelease it again, plz adjust for input lag! Action-commanded Hammer strikes I can nail fine, but guarding is much harder, "mash stick/button" skills are very hard to max, and my jumps require me to press A at about the time of peak of the jump, not right before impact. I'll add that the charm is visual in the first PM, not so much in dialogue, which according to its defendants are what CS/TOK have. Although TTYD is generally better than PM1, so maybe they got the combo of visuals and personality there, I think so, but memory can be unreliable.  30 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: Speaking of both ToD and Frontier, are either of those worth checking out? The only RF game I've played is 4 and 4S and I was wondering about the Wii/PS3 games and if they were any good. Both of them are going to be dated by comparison. Every RF definitely seems to have been a gradual improvement over the last, and maybe RF4 was an even bigger improvement. Characters will likely be a little thinner, I can assure you that the games probably won't be as long as 4 and with very weak narratives. There will be less stuff in the gameplay and in the case of Frontier, the combat will be noticeably stiffer and slower. Farming in Tides of Destiny is very hands-off, too much. Get to an island where you can grow crops, recruit a monster, see what it grows, wave a magic wand over the soil where you see green circles appear, the monsters will seed the ground and do all the crop rearing, all you have to do is harvest them later. Your ore is earned the same way with the winter island- you have monsters grow it and you hammer it out once its at full size.  The other issue with ToD is a very empty ocean, you'll be wasting daylight dragging a golem limited by stamina through quiet seas en route to another island, once in a while dredging up a mini-island, or fighting very simply a giant monster with your golem. Frontier's farming is more normal, but you'll find your crops taking longer to grow if you don't interfere with the Runey system. Think of Runeys as a magic food chain, one that if you don't mess with it at all, will naturally bring itself to complete and utter extinction. Runeys don't matter outside of farming though, and fishing can become a sufficient source of cash by the time you're done with the first dungeon. This said, if you can get the games for a bargain now, your loss wouldn't be big even if you found them antiquated.
