That's hard because it's not a movie. But definitely in the upper range. 3 minutes ago, Lightchao42 said: It's not actually Sword Art Online, but it's an online game so it's basically the same thing. What was it again, NetHack? What's funny is that i'm pretty sure .hack predates SAO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) It began in 2002, yes. I think I even got to see a couple episodes of the anime back then. It aired on TV over here. The genre isn't new. SAO simply made it mainstream. Edited July 2, 2021 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armagon Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 It's amazing how much of PxZ2's prologue is already invalidating all of PxZ1's gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capable of referencing things she cannot possibly know anything about. She makes a reference to Hero Senki in the first EF. I can't help but think that if Xiaomu were a guy, our opinions of the Sage-Fox would be very different. Being female makes her silly and very lovable, as a man... she'd be an unattractive, has-no-life geek, too real, too grimy, and very unpopular. 32 minutes ago, Armagon said: Hey it's like that Jeanne D'arc game DragonFlames was playing. Damage and accuracy increases based on which direction you attack an enemy from, are rather commonplace in SRPGs outside of FE. SRW's Masoukishin: Lord of Elemental spinoff tried it back in 1996, and Final Fantasy Tactics (1997) -which defined SRPGs for quite some time before FE made it big- used it as well. 45 minutes ago, Armagon said: Now i will begin.

Yeah, I've long known about Xiaomu to know she does that, haha. XD Eh, I'd be reminded more about The Big Bang Theory. I like that show, so... no complains from me!

Sooks Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) I DID IT!!! HECK YEAH!!!!! @Shrimperor said a couple of days, more like a couple of hours 😛 And the scene right after that boss battle… this entire chapter was just Falcon trolling me. Hahaha, this game is gonna be great. My reaction was basically Estelle’s: (spoilers for a good surprise you don’t want spoiled if you’re interested in the game) Spoiler (apologies if that’s a little low quality, I had already pressed Z before I thought to take a screenshot so I snipped it from a YouTube video) The actual ending to the chapter was great as well. Falcom, I hear what's going on here. The melody is really nice with this instrumentation. I mean, the melody is awesome itself, but still, I approve. Spoiler My reaction to seeing Joshua: 😮😮😮😮😄😄😄😄👏👏👏👏🤔🤔🤔🤔 The prologue was fantastic, I hope the rest of the game stays that way. 57 minutes ago, Armagon said: Now i will begin. You gave the first game a 4/10. This is an interesting decision. Although it might have just been that part at the end with all the enemies that dropped your score so low. But wait, Radiant Dawn is your favorite fe. 52 minutes ago, Lightchao42 said: This is a real official thing that actually exists. The memes have gone too far this time... There is no such thing. I do actually find it funny that the pokemon company would post this though, I mean I can now say I’ve been rickrolled by them.

Yeah i guess my SRPG knowledge is limited. But this alone makes PxZ2 feels more like a proper SRPG than PxZ1 ever did. 3 minutes ago, Sooks said: You gave the first game a 4/10.

I mean, if Xenosaga III "fixes" the gameplay from II and I liked the first one I would probably play it as well, whereas Banner Saga 2's gameplay is just Banner Saga 1: deluxe edition. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I might try a sequel/follow up to a game I didn't like if it supposedly improves on what made me not like it and there was a good portion of it I did actually like.

Sorry, Armagon, but they dont quite learn from their mistakes. Well the fact that countering is reliable, Multi-Attacks come in way earlier, and that turns are traditional should smooth it out.

Acacia Sgt Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I'd say, it's interesting the way they reshuffled some of the returning characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Not hearing the FE characters' English VAs will take some getting used to. The same goes for Fiora when i get to her. 1 minute ago, Acacia Sgt said: I'd say, it's interesting the way they reshuffled some of the returning characters. In the case of the Sakura Wars characters, from what i'm told, Erica and Gemini were only connected by the thinnest of strings. So they swapped it so it's Ogami/Erica and Sakura/Gemini. But it seems in most cases, it's just so that it's the other character's turn to be in the spotlight. Although some still don't show up. Like the .hack duo is Kite/Haseo, with BlackRose nowhere in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
