You keep going "I miss Sky" tho, so there's a part in you that wants another Sky

I mean I want another Sky, but it’s not like every time I’m out and about and I see one of those trail things in the sky I start silently weeping to myself going “Estelle… Joshua…….”

Quote

Play Ys 8, written by the dude who wrote Sky 😉

NICE

Also Dana amazing.

I thought you complained about the ending for her character or something

Quote

You aren't into Action games tho are you

Action I like. Turn based RPG I used to think I didn’t like, but at this point, if it’s not generic, I feel like I can vibe with it. But trying to mix the two just seems… wrong to me.

But Ys is pure action, right?

Enjoy the 2nd best romance in the game.

and his first response is “why aren’t you wearing pants?” Which is pretty understandable, actually.

Not as good as “Why is my present a BOY!?” but acceptable nonetheless

Quote

I have an idea. You could play the first two Cold Steel games after Sky and then play something else before the next two as a break, like Trails from Zero for example…

(Or you could play Sky after Cold Steel, but even I’m not that much of an anarchist.)

Playing Sky after CS1 and 2 isn’t that bad. Playing Sky after Zero and Azure is true anarchy.

Unless you mean playing Sky after CS3 and 4 too which… NO.

Quote

I sure hope Bleublanc is top tier, like he belongs. What, you thought I was going to ask about Rixia?

Now that I think about it, I think I forgot to place Bleublanc.

I didn’t understand what his goals were the entire game though, so who knows where he would have gone?

Quote

Unrelated, but I’m at a resort right now and a cat slept on a chair outside my room for a few hours yesterday. She said hi this morning but I haven’t seen her since.

At a resort? With a cat? Make sure to spend a resort ticket on her to increase your bOnDiNg LeVeL and… NOOOO STOP GET OUT OF MY HEAD

Quote

If you want me to scare you off the internet, though, I can start recommending games to you!

That’s not that scary.

If you start writing paragraphs about why Cold Steel is better than Sky, that would scare me off the internet.

So the artificial life catches feelings over two/three games (depending on which one she first shows up in) from being around coworkers and fellow students, goes through losing her testtube-sister (Don't know how they're made and if this is wrong I apologise) and breaks Preantag-kun out in the next game as an active choice. Does she go making smaller decisions herself before that point?

I'm not going to knock the performance itself but I gotta admit, Claíomh Solais being pronounced like that hurts. It's just, completely not the pronunciation of those words in any dialect.

 

Yes, pretty much (it is three games btw).

Spoiler

Yes, she is her test tube sister and that is how they’re made.

She does make smaller decisions herself before that point, yeah. This is just one of her bigger ones, and iirc the first time she actively sides against the people who were giving her orders (although she’s obviously done with them by the time they get Rean).

And yeah, every combat shell (that’s what Claiomh Solais is) is pretty much pronounced like that rip

The ending of the game is the one thing that kept me from giving it 10/10. Until the final dungeon this game was the only game i almost gave the mystical 5xS for

Then the final boss fight (a fucking sponge) happened and the crazy ending (not in a good way) and i am like "whyyyyyyyyyyyy?"

Final Fantasy: Bro Trip good on the gameplay? Okay, let me put it better: How does combat feel moment to moment? It's one of the FFs I've not touched, so my experience is limited.

More or less what lightcosmo said. I liked it, though getting used to holding down attack and dodge as opposed to simple taps was an odd adjustment. Only real problem I had with it was some buttons not always responding to my presses. Felt better and more fluid once more abilities got unlocked though.

Yeah, holding down attack causes you to start auto-comboing. You can do a zip-to-enemy teleport attack with a button combo tap, but basic attacks involve holding down to auto-attack.

Today i may have experienced my first ever case of Hispanic racism, as in, racism between Hispanics. Or at the very least some form of microaggression.

See, this one guy and his girlfriend walked in to the store today. I asked if i could assist them with anything and the guy said he was looking for "calzadores". Now i have no idea what a calzador is and i later found out that it's just shoehorn. For the record, Venezuelans just say "calzados" i learned today because people don't really use shoehorns in the first place.

Anyways, after i asked them what it was, the guy kinda just looked at me as if i was an idiot and left the store. We don't sell shoehorns anyways but buddy could've at least explained what he was looking for. Rude ass mfer.

Finished FFXV. 'Twas a great time. Bless Noctis and the lads for having some of the best, most believable camaraderie in any RPG I've played.

Picked up a few games over the holidays, mainly Xenoblade X and Crisis Core. Both have been really fun so far.

I need to get back to Hopes but that damned hub killed a lot of the enjoyment I might've had.

Hope things have been going well for you. And i hope you enjoy Xenoblade X.

True, Jesus does has some real classy lines in there.

Fun fact, the Cherokee chief Drowning Bear commented on the bible saying "it's a good book, strange the white people aren't better for it"

A lot of fake Christians basically just read the Old Testament and go "that's good enough for me" which is ironic because the whole point of the New Testament essentially boils down to God being "yeah maybe i was a little too hard on humanity".

There's also the fact that The Bible is really old and i've always wondered how much of the original text has been kept intact. Which is partially the reason why despite being a Catholic, i'm only mild on it. I believe in the stuff, i just don't think it's that literal and it's more broad than it may seem.

(He's talking about CS here, not Trails as a whole).

I really enjoyed CS4 as it was the *looks up* 12th best game i played in 2021. But it also came after a big Trails hiatus in which i did not play the series for over a few years whereas you played back-to-back so i'm curious if that had anything to do with it.

And in a series that shares the same name, now that I’ve been through two arcs that haven’t reached the same highs…

I’m really starting to miss Sky.

At the same time, expecting a series to deliver the same consistent highs is a detriment to personal enjoyment. Not saying as an excuse for mediocrity but i'm saying that sometimes it takes a long time for those highs to be reached again, if they ever do.

Monolith Soft popped the fuck off with Xenogears' story, protag writing and romance and it took until Xenoblade 3 for those heights to be reached again. And honestly i don't know what game would top Xenoblade 3 for me at this point but i'm not expecting it to happen anytime soon (especially since a game has to clear both Xenoblade X and Xenoblade 2 before it could even think about clearing Xenoblade 3).

It's why i prefer to judge the games as is instead of going "things were better back then" and holding it against the game. Even if i do think things were better back then.

*Drama unfolding and all Acacia does is keep posting his SRW stuff like the weirdo he is*

Oh, the point is granted after Akito moves into the target area. Upon doing so, he and Spike go in. The latter finds Tongpu, and claims he's not going to let their previous match unchallenged. Specially after having abducted Ruri. They fight again, but Spike is still having trouble. But then something... happens. Spike seems to get a flash of memories. In any case, it seems the same happens to Tongpu, who begins acting up, calling out about cats and begins wailing. Spike attributes it that he must not like cats and must trigger him. He takes this chance to shoot him dead. Afterwards, Spike wonders if the ruins were behind the whole flash of memories thing.

Meanwhile, Akito has reached the Calculation Unit, where Hokushin awaits. Yurika is no longer there, however. Hokushin brings up how the Calculation Unit can connect to people's consciousnesses. No longer in her happy little dream, Yurika's feelings are now transmitted to those within the ruins. Which explains the above. Akito demans to know where she is, but Hokushin brings up if he'd want to know where are Ruri and Lapis instead. He will only answer one. In the end, it seems Akito chose Ruri and Lapis, for he and Spike have reached her cell. Tsukiomi also arrives, explaining Nergal also took the chance to storm the place while the battle happened. Akito entrusted Lapis to him. He and Spike return outside, as Shinjo reports to Kusakabe the hostages have been taken away... including Yurika. Without Lapis, they can't use the gravity wave, so they compensate sending out more mechs. But then, a battleship Boson Jumps in and destroys some of them! It's the Nadesico C, with Harry at the helm ready to pick Ruri up. But also on board is Uribatake, saying it was his hunch to jump in and make the last-minute rescue... and proceeds to geek out a bit about the ships specs, heh. The crew of the Nadesico B have already transferred aboard too. this would also be the point where Prospector would've joined if I hadn't done the secret scenario. Anyway, Ruri comes aboard and sees more old faces aboard, like Minato and Yukina. Prospector says he gathered the old crew back to staff the Nadesico C. At this Ruri decides a change of tactics is in order... and uses the same thing Lapis did, but now on the remaining Martian Successors that showed up right now, warping them out!

Anyway, back at the base Kusakabe curses this development of events. Just then Akatsuki shows up, ready to evict him since, after all, this place used to be under Nergal's management. Before Shinjo can try to apprehend him, Tsukiomi shows up, with Akatsuki saying he's part of Nergal Secret Service. Akatsuki tells them to surrender, but Kusakabe tells him to shut up. He says he fights for justice, but Akatsuki brings up that justice is relative. Now money, however... is universal, hence why he uses its power to dispense his own justice. It seems Kusakabe finally admits defeat, asking for his men to be treated well. Still, the battle itself happening right now isn't over. Hokushin and his Hokushin's Six deploy. Akito is ready to finish him once and for all!

So, the Muzuras and Yatenko... for the TacP Bonus, Akito must defeat him with the Distortion Attack S, which has unlocked right now. As for the Nadesico C, in addition to being an upgrade, it comes with the System Seizure command. I take it it's the gravity wave thing, for it activates the Analyze and Agitate Spirits on all on-map enemies once per map. They don't get warped away, but it's still a good debuff. Okay, let's finish this!

Or wants to strip you of your title.

I haven't played CK yet but for the other games in the genre I've played, I.E Civilization, EU4, and Age of Empires, they are much more war and expansion focused, they may give you a few options that focus on internal politics but for the most part war is the most deep and interesting mechanic.

After Xenoblade X though, yeah it's been a consistent climb. I don't know where the fuck they'll go from Xenoblade 3 tho. 

Of course, each game still has their own strengths and weaknesses.

More like everyone just found a hidden compartment in the Teehee box of mystery.

Yeah, I was paying attention to that too, heh.

I'm sorry, is this an equivalent of just deleting enemies in a large AoE you mentioned this isn't? Is there a case of the player getting that?

No, the whole "yeet enemies out of the map" isn't something the player gets access to. Still... why would we want to? Gotta not let that EXP and money go away!

it's ok if the next game isn't as good as the previous one as long as you still enjoyed it.

I agree with you there, and that's how i do rate my games.

However it's hard to not compare games in the same series. Especially when you don't enjoy a game.

Plus, even if it were literal, it's, like, several thousand years old, so you really shouldn't apply everything from then to now.

People should focus more on the spirit of rule, so to say. Try to understand why stuff is allowed/forbidden, and the context.

Sadly, that's usally not the case, especially nowadays.
