null Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Eh, my ideal FE game would be a return to RD's multiple army format Don't do the exact same thing, of course, but I loved seeing a war from multiple perspectives It felt epic and grand Not to mention the gameplay is peak I like a mix of the old and new, honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KH 1 and 2 were peak gameplay. Thats been on a massive decline. I was talking more about the story. 46 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: "X is good but it's worse than other games in the series" Then why don't they literally just say that? Saying "x good but not a good y thing" is so roundabout then. Edited September 11, 2021 by Armagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least once, but I’ve definitely watered them at least twice, I really don’t know. Also, I went back to the flowers in the Humphrey save file and a lot of them were already dead. Like, plot-dead and can’t be watered, including most of the tulips. I didn’t know it started happening then, but I actually can’t water them in any of my save files, so yeah. There’s only one way to find out if I got it. Looks like I’m finishing the game tomorrow, hopefully, probably. Quote But, at this point it's probably too late to stop you from wasting an hour of your time. Humphrey doesn’t take that long… okay, maybe you have a point. Quote Just... Please don't reset the entire game just for that. Pretty please? Do you give me that much? I have to go sleep now, so please don't make me wake up to "okay Ruben I am starting over because Sooks%" Er… tell me this is a joke and not actually what you think of me. Yikes… the Sooks% is not worth 30 hours of boredom and wasted time. It’s not even a collectible or an achievement, it’s a bonus scene. I haven’t even been going for the Sooks% in this game… (I’ve already locked myself out of a bit of side content). My feelings, Ruben, my feelings! Quote Hah! Yeah, that's a great point, actually. What was I thinking. I almost implied Awakening is better than like, Banner Saga. Pffft! I don’t know if you’re referring to your response to me trying to explain why “it’s a good game because it’s in x series but it’s not a good game within the series” is actually okay, but that’s not actually what I meant. I mean, just because you like a series and think that its core makes all of the games in it good to some degree does not mean you’re saying you like every game in that series more than any other game from any other series.

We don't even have a name for this guy yet, he's just unofficially been referred to as the Chozo General. But it doesn't matter. He's raw as fuck. I wish they hadn't shown it though. I check game news every day, so I was bound to see it plastered somewhere. But, barring reports of it being too hard, I intend to get Dread, and I would've preferred being kept in the dark to be surprised by seeing it for the first time ingame. 1 hour ago, Lightchao42 said: Apparently the Chozo never went extinct, but their civilization collapsed at some point and the surviving Chozo went into hiding. And as stated in Prime Chozo Lore: "...And so we leave it now (Tallon IV), pristine, a testament to the mortal forms we no longer need. We have drawn the veils of time and space aside, and are withdrawing beyond the illusion. But we will never forget this, the most sacred of our homes. And we will remain ever watchful." -Although, who is say all Chozo embarked on the Path of Sephirot? Some staying behind is feasible. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: Rococo is a style of art that was popularized post-Renaissance iirc. Correct. French in origin, from whence it spread to the rest of Europe. Considered a decadent outgrowth of Baroque, which was the first major art movement to follow the Renaissance and the Reformation. (The Reformation caused the art world to hit a snag. As austere Protestantism shrank the religious art market, and Catholicism turned down the exuberance for a while in response to Protestant accusations of corruption. The genital-uncovered nudity of Renaissance art even in churches was possible b/c nobody seriously challenged Catholicism.) For a famed Rococo painting: "The Swing" Please stare at the face of the young man in the lower left corner. And then draw a line to what his eyes are looking at.

Acacia Sgt Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) The Happy Accidents of the Swing indeed. Fun fact, from the era and country that painting is from, the woman is actually going commando. Other than those stockings, there's... nothing else under those layers of petticoat and the chemise.

Armagon Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 So the fight against Ballsack in Arise is like, a weird difficulty spike. You basically cannot take any hits, he hits like a behemoth even on the easiest difficulty setting. 5 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: sure, but the gameplay isnt any less guilty for being on a decline.

Interdimensional Observer Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Watched the last of the lengthy translation vids on FFVII I saw. Turns out one term that has bothered me because of how jarring it sounds yet important it is, was "bunshin" in Japanese all along. Which directly is "split body", but can mean "clone", or "lackey" in general. Multiple meanings ranging from sci-fi genetics & old-fashioned ninjutsu, to incompetent employees you send to catch that electric rodent time and again. This explains what I see as a poor contextual choice, and also the challenge of picking something better. Honestly, it looks like they should've ditched the Japanese phrase altogether and come up with something looks at the context and tries to come up with a clearer term for the complicated subject matter. But I can't conceive of what it'd be The Stigmatized"?. 4 hours ago, Armagon said: His name will be ballsack. That is what I will call him. Ah yes, "Bal", which can be alternatively spelled: Baal, Bael, Bel, Beel, El, Il, Ila, Ilah. Or rather, these are all derivatives of the same root phrase in the long lost primal Semitic language, from which all ancient and modern Semitic languages derive. The definitions of Baal et al. are: "owner", "master", "lord", or "god". It could refer to humans in the past, but that isn't relevant in modern video games at all. To variants of this word can be attached a variety of additions, Beelzebub, Balberith, Belial to name several demons. Elohim and Allah, is/are one/two not very demonic being(s), with this ancient phrase in their name(s). In addition, it shows up in a few Semitic names that have become normalized in English, such as Gabriel and Michael, and Elizabeth. Michael literally translating as "Who is like lord/God?". Not all uses of "Bal" in English are necessarily derived from the Semitic. Baldr and Balor, a Norse god and a Celtic demon, have names which are purely coincidental.
