I expect to hear a lot of this, especially since it's in our second language. There's also gonna be a lot of people pronouncing the -ent of ils/elles verbs, which will make even a low-tier french speaker like myself cringe. ... with accents. Lemme guess, in a typical France accent? Though the overusage of slang could be an issue there. Eh, nah. They won't make you read THAT bad of a quebecer thing... I hope. And it seems to have been released a while ago. I don't think slang shock galore was all that popular back then. Though I may be mistaken. Oof. Ouch. Then again, I can't really blame them that much. French can be quite excessive with its writing. -eault should absolutely not be a thing. (for anyone curious, that's pronounced "o"). One funny thing is that one big boulevard back in Montreal is called René-Levesque. Imagine how non-french speakers try to pronounce that. At least it's not Reneault-Lévesque. That would cause aneurisms. I'm just now comprehending the hellish landscape you're about to step into. Not only will you have to read a piece most likely boring enough to make Bingo look exciting, but it'll be at a snail's pace with terrible pronunciation and the energy of a sleep-deprived sloth.

From Wikipedia: Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined is a young adult vampire-romance novel by Stephenie Meyer. The story is a gender-swapped retelling of the first book in the Twilight series, and introduces Beau Swan and Edythe Cullen in place of Bella and Edward. The genderswap turned Twilight into a funny romcom. Some of the scenes are unintentionally hilarious, like when the 1,90m protagonist takes a piggyback ride with the 1,60m vampire. In this gender bended version there is: - No stupid love triangle - No teenage pregnancy - No marriage at 18 - No strange magical baby - No Bella whining for 3 books to make her a vampire - No ideal ending without consequences for main character So yeah, it's not great, but Life and Death is hundred times better than the whole Twilight series in my opinion.

Fight to the death you say? *fights him* "Fight to the death unless i lose in which case you have to spare me". Oh yeah btw, during the battle Yes. And in the boss fight following that, i paused because i had to do something real quick and when i came back, i found out i paused on a perfect frame @Shrimpresident can add this to his witchy reaction folders. It's so funny seeing an image of Shibuya just show up in this game. Anyways MOMO IS HERE! I'll enjoy it while it lasts, this is the like the last time Xenosaga crosses over with more than just KOS-MOS and T-elos. True, MOMO's Episode III design is very cute indeed. I like how they poke fun at the fact that MOMO is like the most modestly dressed girl in the game. See this is a meta joke tho cause like MOMO is the only character in Episode III whose swimsuit attire doesn't show belly. I mean neither does Jin but he's more just dressed casually here. She absolutely has a closet full of maid costumes. 2 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: No point in not splurging all your money at the very end on those MAX Cookies and other expensive consumable goodies.

Plus, it keeps KOS-MOS from spending more adventures with Reiji & Xiaomu than any XS character. MOMO's NxC and Exceed appearances are enough to keep parity at 5 for 5. And to speak of KOS-MOS for just one moment. I did like that when it came to catching her up on what's happened, Aschen transmitted all the information to her as opposed to the usual spiel. I'm not saying one can forget they're androids, but it was a neat android-y move. One of the benefits of being a robot, near-instantaneous reception and digestion of large quantities of new information. 43 minutes ago, Armagon said: True, MOMO's Episode III design is very cute indeed.

Other than this introductory scene though, they don't drag MOMO into the usual funny lowbrow mud that proliferates through the game. Not that I can recall. She was a weird choice to bring to the Endless Frontier judging from how she behaves, she seems too pure for this dimension. (Not that being pure presumably gets in the way of her spending three whole games massacring whatever the threats to the world are in XS, such is the video game conundrum.) Though I do appreciate it that they kept her out of the filth, as awkward-fitting as that makes her seem in a way. MOMO was a breath of fresh air. 43 minutes ago, Armagon said: @Shrimpresident can add this to his witchy reaction folders.

This is basically my introduction into Digimon / Pokémon (if I exclude "Touhou Puppet Dancer Performance"). Unlike Pokémon the (dis-)advantages of affinities and attacks are explained very well. I am not sure, if I will enjoy this game since I am not in this monsters grinding stuff. However Digimon feel to have more personality than Pokémon for me for being able to speak human's language. Also the soundtrack is more appealing than Pokémon, but I should not expect less from a Namco game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they make you read a text in another language out loud in a class not meant to teach you another language? Now I'm thinking back on this philosophy teacher that gave us a text that came from English and was translated in French... by Google translate. He asked me and another guy if we could proofread it and correct the errors. It was so atrocious. Concrete behaviour > Comportement béton That was the main subject of the article. You can imagine the trainwreck. Though one of my fondest google translate moments (aside from Google Translate Sings) will always be when my best friend tried to translate instructions to create a mini trebuchet. In it you had to use a coffee can. The instructions listed one of the needed materials as "le café peut". He spent so much time trying to figure out what the coffee could do.

I don't imagine many French Canadians who are monolingual* would come all the way west to BC, and I don't think many Europeans are monolingual. I don't know for certain since I've not been employed before the pandemic: I work at a grocery store and I've met a couple of non-English speakers, but I don't know what language it was either of them spoke. *I also don't know how much English is taught to y'all over there, but a couple of French-Canadian chaps have come in, and all of them are fairly fluid in English I do use French at that store because there's a regular customer who was a linguistics professor and he speaks to me in French every time, but in practicality, it's more for if I ever want a Federal job or to go to Quebec or Europe.

I know fighting is a turnoff for some gamers (despite so many game involving fighting), but I can't tell whether it's a net gain or not. If being part ARPG means RF has the potential to be bigger than Story of Seasons or not. In a space where more games with less or no conflict can get noticed maybe before long that insinuation will be less prominent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
