I'm actually yelling "how dare you speak of Three Houses over Best Game, I'll kill you." Unfortunately, I don’t think your hate for Three Houses is enough to carry your voice across the Atlantic. Anyway, here’s why Three Houses is the best game and Berwick isn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Oh my God they found it. It didn't even take them thirty minutes minutes to find it. By "them", I mean the tip of the tongue subreddit, and by "it", I mean the source of my childhood fear that I described earlier today. @Armagon Thanks for suggesting that I try going there. After all these years, I now know exactly what happened that day. Edited June 29, 2021 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Your typical amusing idiot shounen hero? Supposedly his VA also voiced original Teen Titans' Robin? The protagonist of the first Tales game that made it big outside Japan? Something or other... That said... Always gives me a chuckle.

As it turns out, the game was a colorful, humorous puzzle platformer called Boppin'. The developer just happened to have a rather dark sense of humor, and for this reason (I can only assume), they made their logo a gory teddy bear with a dagger in the gut - The image that scared me so much. The logo showed up upon booting the game. My friend or his parents must've found the game online in some obscure shareware site and missed or ignored the teddy bear. That dude pobably didn't even mind it, but unfortunately for me, I wasn't quite so tough. The kind folks over at r/tipofthetongue (or, well, folk, it only took one person) directed me to the dev's website. I found the image, and underneath, the subtitle "determined to disturb." Oh, you absolute bastard, if only you knew... It all adds up. I actually vaguely remembered the gameplay and the main characters, but they were such a far cry from the image that had caused me so much fright, I assumed it had to be unrelated. Damn, I can hardly believe it was real at all. What a strange find this is. Edited June 29, 2021 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The irony is that is actually a very clever thing Lloyd thing, despite his idiot hero label... to me that just makes it even funnier. 2 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: I think Colette has a few screws loose...

Acacia Sgt Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) It's a shame the OVAs redid the scene. There Lloyd actually sees her holding a steaming cup of coffee while being no worse for wear. Meanwhile... did the one in the game even had coffee to begin with...

Lloyd seems fairly typical "manganime shounen" to me now, although back in the day, I didn't know any better. One must keep in mind with ToS, is that although decades have past, it is still the best-selling Tales and its "breakout" title in the West that brought the franchise its international popularity. Lloyd might ride atop that legacy. Raine is probably the best ToS character for me. A good blend of seriousness, intelligence, and a few pinches of Japanese popular entertainment zaniness. For the others, I don't dislike any of them. Regal might be too guilt-trippy. But I like him. Presea's anxiety about the merciless passage of time once really resonated with me. Genis I've always liked. Much of it might be due to me being his age when I played ToS; and I've always been booksmart, not athletic, like him. Sheena has gradually lost some of the liking I once had for her, no offense. The design choice for her to bra to always be showing is noticed now, and I don't like it. Zelos... something more had to be done with his "I hate my joke of a life" side of himself. I get his entire rich Casanova personality is a reaction to that, but it also creates antipathy towards him. Kratos was cool back in the day. Colette- For years, I think it's died down now, I actually IRL adopted her "excessive of use of "sorry"" behavior. So I don't like her.😝 Edited June 29, 2021 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds of the skit when they play with Genis weapon: Zelos hits Professor Sage with it and they all split while Lloyd says something like "oh no you just hit professor sage!"
