Yes! Well, the school's not a music school specifically, but I am applying to the Music program. As a backup, I'm also applying for an arts degree in the Okanagan campus since I already live near it, (The music school's in Vancouver), but... Well, it's a top 50 University worldwide, so I'm not super sure I'm getting into either program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How embarrassing of me! Forgetting such an integral piece of the game. (Jokes aside, it's funny how mastery skills went to "you can only have a few, but they're largely mediocre, with maybe a handful of useful ones" to "almost always a kill, and EVERYBODY gets one" in Radiant Dawn) (I was going to comment on how shoving can be useful, but it seems people got that covered. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Terastalization is well short of Dynamax in terms of brokenness, it elevating Shedinja, of all things, to something that needed a QB is saying something. Shedinja swapping in with the invincibility star The only chance the opponent would have is using something like Rock Blast if it was slower than Cyclizar on the same turn, which, yeah. 4 hours ago, Sooks said: So, I finished Live a Live. It’s a pretty neat little JRPG, I’d recommend it if the concept intrigues you. And if Akira’s story intrigues you… I’m sorry. Reveal hidden contents I’m pretty sure I got the best ending, I said “Nah!” after fighting Odio and Oersted gave me the dialogue choice, although I did Google the correct choice to make there because I had no idea what it was asking courtesy of the old English. Then all the protagonists united in the boss statue room and I was scared because I thought the game was gonna make me fight all those bosses again, and it did, but either they were way weaker or my characters being stronger helped with them, or both, because I obliterated all of them. Then fought the final boss and you know, ending time. Odio’s plan kinda makes no sense, he summons all the protags to his domain to do… what, exactly? If you leave the room after talking to him instead of fighting him he says this is his domain and you can’t run, so why not just… kill them all before they get their bearings and unite? Also I like how if you bring Pogo to the final boss Odio talks to him like he understands English and he just grunts and jumps up and down to say yes like he understands… I wonder what’s going through Pogo’s head for this whole chapter while all these other people and a robot drag him up a mountain and start beating the shit out of hate incarnate. Eh, it’s probably just Beru. (My “final team” (even though the game makes you use all the characters in the good ending) was Masaru, Yun, Pogo, and Cube). The final chapter was a little disappointingly short if you don’t do the character shrines, which aren’t that interesting anyway (other than maybe Cube’s), but I guess the cast didn’t have a whole lot to do other than beat up Satan. These stories weren’t super connected in every aspect like in some other games with multiple stories, they just have the common theme of hate linking them all together. Being able to strike down Odio with Oersted was cool as hell though. Although because the final chapter didn’t have a ton to it, I kinda agree with Ruben that going back to all the boss fights as the bosses is peak Live a Live. RIP Akira Spoiler Yeah, the boss rematch is very much "Look how far you've come" with how much you can just smash through them. Odio's plan, as it were, is supposed to be about breaking these heroes and showing them that what they did won't matter. Course, the entire point of bringing the party together and defeating all these trials is proving him wrong and in the end even giving the chance for Oersted to redeem himself in some way. Pogo: The definitive No Thoughts, Head Empty character Alright, more seriously, a change was made here in the remake that really bothers people. In the original version, Pogo's first word is Love and translations of the SNES version kept this. This as you see got changed in localisation and has bothered people. I can see how that happened from a technical standpoint: There's no other set of voice actors, the Ai he screams is love in Japanese and there's every concern that the delivery on it got screwed up in translation. But I still agree that love should have been localised or failing that an asterisk added that read "Translator's note: Ai means love". Sin of Odio was new to the remake, partly to give the game something after the boss rush and frankly, good call overall, even if in the end it's just "Let's beat down on the boss with ults and Oersted will eventually do something". A lot of LIVEALIVE's prestige comes from doing what it did at the time. I feel like it holds up pretty well in most aspects from this remake and getting to play a giant dinosaur and stomp on your enemies is a highlight in anything. @Saint Rubenio Spoiler Streibough was real all along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's possible that the enemy Solm units we saw are Elusian sympathizers who want Solm to ally with Elusia. I'll leave that open but i think going clockwise is more likely.
