If people truly believe that, that's just sad.

I mean, i separate art from the artist, and i think more people should as well, but i can't fault them for being off-put.

As trivia, hari-kari and seppuku literally mean the same thing but the former is basically never used so it's that they used that instead.

Whoa... harsh,

Yeah, I despise Heroes. It's a hodgepodge of everything bad about Fire Emblem, with none of the positives, and it's a gacha on top of everything else. Sure, it's not as horrid a gacha as all the other gachas, but that doesn't make it good. Far from it.

Damnit, you.

Is it really showing that much skin tho? Like I guess compared to the alts of the same vein we've gotten but these outfits have been the least fanservicy alt designs Heroes has been putting out.

I did say it's par-for-the-course. It's not too bad, for Heroes's standards. She's not showing as much skin as, say, the summer alts of the Fates lolis. Just... well, "for Heroes's standards" is not my definition of "okay."

Besides, she's got a cape. And capes are cool. They're like trench coats, they make everything look good.

Kinda difficult to make that mess of a design look good, even with a cape. Heck, if anything, I'd say it looks completely out of place. But, well, I have said it before and I'll say it again, I know I have far less patience for these things than most people in this thread.

I just don't get why they needed to keep her belly exposed. The design would look 1000% better if they put a mail undershirt on her. They can even keep the short skirt and no pants if they absolutely have to, that doesn't look too bad. Just cover her damn belly. It looks fucking atrocious and impractical for no better reason than "we need eye candy for the otakus to give us moneys for this JPEG".

Armagon, I couldn’t let you kill Ludin, I too love him. He is one of the ones competing for the spot of favorite. But Onef? I’m fine with this.

The worst part about Heroes isn't even all that, it's that it keeps coming up with cool shit and it's all wasted because gacha.

But I won't lie

This was actually pretty cute.

Like Heroes is actually kinda neat when you just remove the gacha elements.

Why does it have to be a gacha IntSys? Why couldn't it be like Project X Zone, where you get both the cool interactions and an actual game?

Hey man, it's not like I know how to kill him anyways. Besides "oh whoops, I left him right in the middle of this group of enemies".

Hahahahaha… if only you knew. That is exactly how you kill him, actually.

But I’ll let you figure out the rest on your own. And then spare him or else you will face Ruben’s wrath.

I mean, you can try, and then you miss out on the character with the most character development, plus a good character gameplay-wise. Your loss, not mine, Armagon.

Time to wrap up MP1 this morning. Although the last boss was downright easy, I'm concerned about the final foe. I might have nearly all the health in the game, and I already know how to fight it, but "survive the first phase, die in the second" is looming in my mind as a possible outcome, despite phase two reading like the easier half. And after Samus Returns, I can't help but be paranoid I'll be shut out of finishing another Metroid by a late/final boss. -But first I have to head to the Artifact Temple.

From what I'm aware, she isn't entirely wrong.

If someone had the time to prepare for their seppeku, they'd usually have a person standing next to them. Intentionally inserting a sword into your stomach and dragging it across to the other side (possibly in a flat-bottomed "U" shape?) is painful and goes against human instinct. The agony being great and inevitable death slow, the trusted confidant could draw their sword and instantly behead the suicidal person as an act of mercy.

I know it was the feudal Samurai code and all but you know, I think it would just be easier to skip the part where the person cuts their stomach and just get to the part where they're beheaded. It still counts as assisted suicide.

Then again, this was the same society where Samurai would go out and test their new katanas on random passerbys (usually outcasts) iirc.

I hate you so much. Do what you want. Either way I know we won't agree on anything. We never do.

I don't know, man. I'm not quite sure how to say it nicely...

First we had 3 Generations of Batman, then 2 Generations of Honorary Draggy, then

3 Generations of Wormy

I fucking love this Series

I know he isn't a worm shush, but that's what i used to call him when he was the bane of my existence in Ys Origin back then.

I meant in a story decision, in gameplay characters just sleep that off.

Man, Tear Ring Saga would be so amazing if it wasn't for all the required skirmishes on Holmes' route.

Alternatively some more generous loot distribution would probably help too.

[DragonFlames]

Been a while, eh? xD
Well... I made a WHOLE bunch of progress in Ys VIII.
Like... a lot of it. Some cool stuff happened. Hype stuff. Interesting stuff. Good stuff!
Here are some screenshots, because I'm still kinda floored:

Falcom ripped itself off. xD
This is much cooler than the CS mechs, tho.

Biggest wtf moment in the game so far.
As is.. not a negative 'wtf', but 'wtf' nonetheless!
WHY IS SHE HERE?!? -> literally what I blurted out during this scene.

Then a raid happend, aaaand....

Adol, you've been replaced!

I also did some fishing, and...

Dick move, game. Dick move.

tfw Jagen so old, he's a literal dinosaur. xD

Also, Past!Dana can transform now, which changes her fighting style, and weapon.

Hmm... a transforming protag, eh?

Just where have I seen that before, I wonder?

Nope, doesn't ring a bell. xD

Of course

Ys 8 is one of their, if not Falcom's best game ever

CS on the other hand...

Double Best Girl dose!

Ayy now you know why i compare her parts to Ys Origin

 

Now that you arrived there, i wanna talk about one of the reasons i almost gave Ys 8 10/10:

Many jrpgs, or like, almost all of them, you visit the ruins of an ancient advanced civilization. And that's it, you just visit ruins. Which is usually fine.

Ys 8 takes it a step further however and made you play in the ancient society itself and experience it while it was alive. That floored me so much when i was playing Ys 8. it was honestly amazing. I can't think of any other game that had that tbh.

I gotta remember that present Dana can't transform, while past Dana can. xD

Yeah, that dungeon reminds me a lot of Origin! It's great with some great bosses!
Also, the music in there is 👌
Gotta look up what that track's called, sometime!

I see!
Yeah, I really, really love those parts, too! To the point where I say they're the best parts of the game so far!
There were moments where I'd play on Adol's side of time, where I'd go "yeah, yeah, this is fine and all, but lemme play as Dana in the past again!" xD

i think this duality between past and present is also one of the game's strongest points which the game is full of. It's weak points are pretty far and between, but yeah i kinda get you

[Sooks]

I defeated my first shining pom and… woah.

Ayy! Thanks! ^^
So far, one of my favorite dungeon themes in this game and in Falcom games , next to the Mt. Gendarme one, and the theme from the volcano area in Oath!

That's true! I agree with that!
Still, sometimes, it would interrupt Dana's parts the very moment something REALLY interesting happened, so... XD

4 minutes ago, Shrimperor said:

Also true, so far!
I have... maybe one gripe with it so far, but that may be because I'm not entirely grasping that just yet.

Namely, the raids and hunts. They feel a little bit unnecessary, to be honest, since you're not getting any EXP or skill EXP out of them (seemingly, this is the part I'm unsure about), and especially the raids always seem to happen at the most inopportune moments, too, interrupting the flow of things a little. Like, I'd be in the middle of exploring a dungeon, and then it's "hey, by the way, your village is about to get rekt. Pls halp!"
I don't wanna skip them, either, even if they may be optional, because I feel compelled to do them the second they show up. xD
I will say, however, that actually PLAYING them is fun, because the combat is fun. It just doesn't feel very rewarding to do them, is all.

[DragonFlames]

Also, I cannot help but wonder what her deal is.
Hmm...
She is most certainly NOT the character from Devil Survivor 2, that's for sure. xD
