This fight is rough. And it's mandatory too. Yay. Which game is that? I recognize the main girl but can't quite put my finger on the game. My JRPG itch is here.

DragonFlames Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Completely out of context random post is completely random and out of context, but this thing right here is one of my favorite demons from SMT. I just really like the design of it. For those who don't know: This is a depiction of Ouroboros, the snake representing infinity.

null Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Well, if you have to get wiped out by enemies, at least you can do it to some groovy music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I agree! This plays when you are weaker than your enemies. I.e. the "you made a HUGE mistake" theme. XD I love the fact that Atelier Sophie has different battle themes depending on how strong you are in comparison to your enemies. As far as I know, it's the only Atelier game that does this.Someone will correct me on this, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Although I think an even better "get wrecked to funky music" theme is the FOE battle theme from Etrian Odyssey Untold 2. Never before has death been this groovy! XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hopefully I put all the right files in the right places. If it works, I'll have the Japanese voice overs for Sky SC. I might do the portraits as well, but I kind of prefer the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Of the 5 battles I've gone through on Saturday, with only one left, 3 of them nearly killed me (okay the last got me GOs twice). I admit, I was ignoring every "caution, go slow" sign for the first one, and the second time I wasn't thinking things through at all. Then for the third time, it was the battle with the very appropriate name "Strong Breaker", there's practically only one, kinda cheesy, strategy to win this, it's otherwise maddeningly difficult, but would you expect anything else from who you're against? Rangda has arrived, the witch with Phys Repel finishes the essential skills list. Theres only 5 battles left in game IIRC, and yet there's so many good demons to make, I hate to see them all go unused. Considering the final battle is long, I'm going to be cautious and make as many of them as I can carry. 2 hours ago, Armagon said: Life imitates art. Why does NLA need quarantines anyhow.

Not a bad choice although isn't this the hell of hellish bosses in the very hellish boss game that is Strange Journey?, it gets the symbolism across, and is a very clean design. And it's eternity that is symbolizes according to the IV Apo Compendium entry, but semantics. As a fun fact in case you didn't know, Kazuma Kaneko, the longtime artist of SMT (who as of SMTIV has shifted out of artwork into more of a producer role) stated in an old interview his favorite design was the Nocturne redesign of Take-Minakata. Not sure which I'd consider my own favorite, there's a hundreds of designs that get reused every game because updating more than handful is expensive to choose from.

It is, but I found the boss fight against it to be quite enjoyable, actually. Definitely a highlight in Redux, despite the fact that it can resurrect itself (which you have to disable after fighting it once). Can't really speak for the original Strange Journey, though. Not to mention the fact that, once you manage to fuse it, enemies with a weakness to Zio attacks will die to its very powerful personal ability (that I forgot the name of). I think it says a lot that I found Ouroboros to be very useable far into the endgame if you keep it on your team, if only for its "special attack" and various resistances. 16 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: As a fun fact in case you didn't know, Kazuma Kaneko, the longtime artist of SMT (who as of SMTIV has shifted out of artwork into more of a producer role) stated in an old interview his favorite design was Take-Minakata: That really is interesting! Fun fact in return: Take-Minakata is one of the demons I never managed to fuse for some reason across all the SMT and related (i.e. Persona 5) games I've played. Although I did manage to get my hands on one once... but at that point, it just served as fusion material for something else. 16 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Though for the sake of sharing something, I'll plop down an image of Varuna, the Atma-Avatar of the main (and silent of course) character of Digital Devil Saga: Looks awesome!

You never know how long and on what surfaces or in what vectors pathogens can survive, best to check the Xenos now, before they've strolled the streets and filled the buildings with potentially deadly diseases Yeah you probably already gave yourself the explanation but Mims are basically just there to prevent aging since nobody knew how long they'd be in space. Other than that, they still need to be treated with care as if they were real bodies. An alien pathogen might affect the biofluid. Btw, can we talk about how the game doesn't hide the Mim plot-twist at all? Ch.5 kinda makes a big deal out of it but you can do Hope's first Affinity Mission as early as Ch.3 (provided you've reached Lv.21) and one of the first things that happens in it is someone asking Hope if Mims are capable of conceiving (of which the answer is no but the fact that the question was even asked suggests that Mims are capable of engaging in sexual pleasure) and if you do this before Ch.5, the twist is basically spoiled for you. Though Ch.5 honestly is still pretty early and it's not like the story matters that much anyway. 18 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: I sure heck feel like one, though Just relax and remember we all feel like that occasionally.

Though Ch.5 honestly is still pretty early and it's not like the story matters that much anyway. I think Elma gave a more subtle hint of it when you step out into the sunshine from Starfall Basin and she says "your body can take the fall" if you considering going off the cliff in front of you. Isn't that a little weird? And, the Mimeosome Maintenance Center is a landmark from the very start. You won't know exactly what that means, I don't think the NPCs outside of it talk about Mims at the time, but thats still a big giveaway. Somehow didn't notice it though, the Chapter 5 scene got me. 32 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Looks awesome! I like the almost exoskeleton aesthetic in particular. It looks otherworldly, and that's makes it interesting. The Atma-Avatars were mostly designed without eyes, because they're a feature that predominates our attention. The absence of eyes increases our focus on the mouths, which is important in Digital Devil Saga. 9 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Yeah, you're right. Thanks!
