I heard meteorologists ignore the solstices and equinoxes and sort the seasons into Dec-Jan-Feb, Mar-Apr-May, Jun-Jul-Aug, Sep-Oct-Nov, anyhow. None of that "2 full months and half of two others" astronomical nonsense. 1 hour ago, Acacia Sgt said: Well, congrats on finishing! Thanks. A bit of a bumpy ending today, there are still menacing villains very much alive, but I indisputably enjoyed the ride!😄 1 hour ago, Acacia Sgt said: Throw it in with Dancougar and Layzner, for a start. Thinking of 64?😛 I was actually already thinking of Layzner as a solid SRW pairing option weeks/months ago.😆 And sure, Muge conquering the Earth would go perfectly together with the Draktor. -And I'd like to have Getter around too if possible, if only to see Ryoma grimace at the sight of a young 'un with the same attitude.😈 There is one thing that I'd love to see SRW include from Megaton Musashi, from a writing perspective. ...I want to say more, and I know you don't care about spoilers, but I still feel like I have to bite my tongue.😝 Edited August 29 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Hehe, okay then. --- Alright, reached the Warp Room of the Oriental Sorcery Lab.

Interdimensional Observer Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I have spent the past... hour? listening to SRW + Xeno tracks cherrypicked b/c they remind of Megaton in some way. On the one hand, my mood is 😄. Yet I'm very frustrated too.This makes three unfinished mecha stories I'm stuck with!😆 Is overambition a natural companion to sci-fi? The writers write with the same vastness as the universe that inspires them, not realizing they shouldn't expand without end.😜 ...Speaking of Xeno: What non-Mana games served as inspiration for the developers working on Visions of Mana? Were any of the principal designers born after the Super Famicom release of Seiken Densetsu 3 (the original Trials of Mana)? In terms for creating a vast world that is important for an RPG, the Xenoblade series was one source of inspiration. -Is it odd for a non-indie dev to admit to such inspirations?🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayni Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 War has changed will finally be heard outside PS3 5 hours ago, BrightBow said: Iga also banished her from his continuity. I think he had a problem with the concept of a Belmont and Alucard having a child or something. ...and then he went and created Juste Belmont who is just Alucard with a whip. Doesn't even have a humanoid skin color. Just the same grey skin. Funny to mention, I was playing a bit of HoD and CotM, kinda sucking at them, but yeah Juste is certainly that (And also the worst, who just decides to take a room of Dracula's castle and turn it into his man cave?). But HoD has an odd style for character art beyond Juste. ...Then again Alucard's hair ain't pure white in SotN, but he still looks a bit more ethereal than Juste imo even comparing the more elaborate artwork as opposed to in game portraits, where HoD just has no chance anyway. 5 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Same for Circle of the Moon. Contrary to popular opinion, Iga didn't banish it from canon either out of a whim. The developers themselves didn't consider CotM part of the timeline to begin with, and so Iga just respected that. So just Legends was a choice on his end, without others asking to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So reusing the EVO voice lines feels minor in comparison but also like why not just record new lines? Of course, with that ending, we don't know how far along the pipeline SC remake is so imagine newbies playing the new shiny FC and then they buy SC in Steam and they travel back in time.

Codename Shrimp Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Armagon said: So reusing the EVO voice lines feels minor in comparison but also like why not just record new lines? probably money and time issue. Falcom is releasing Kuro 3 soon, and from i understand Sky remake is being made by another Team. And everything we've seen so far points to the script being 1:1 Original, so they can just use that no problem (hence why Simul release might be possible). But EN never got voice acting outside Battle voices for sky. 11 minutes ago, Armagon said: so imagine newbies playing the new shiny FC and then they buy SC in Steam and they travel back in time. I instantly bought SC back then lmaaaaaaaaaaaaao. Back when i was but a student who only bought game on min 50% sale xD And that started the exception of Trails being the exception to that norm lol Edited August 29 by Codename Shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sky FC remake is the exception to Falcon and not the new norm, Falcon will be increasingly running out of excuses as to why they can't do worldwide releases. 5 minutes ago, Codename Shrimp said: instantly bought SC back then lmaaaaaaaaaaaaao.

Dayni Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Echoes of Wisdom is starting at €50. Did not know that. Also, OG Clock Tower modern rerelease. For some reason there's three art styles being used for it. 8 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: But I thought War Never Changes. Old Snake knows better. 8 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Funnily enough, the whole "decorate a room" thing was meant to be for Alucard.

Probably explains why sitting is doable in SotN. Juste doing it is a little messed up, considering he's not a Drac and considering what the castle in HoD is. Supposedly most of the people who worked on HoD had been on SotN, which would make sense for that and stuff like Juste's design coming a little close to Alucard's.

Interdimensional Observer Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I sat outside intending to read. -I actually spent dozens of minutes letting Megaton and SRW thoughts do petaflops in my brain.😆 Do I have too much time on my hands if I can still be hopelessly lost in a game from yesterday? Or is it neurodivergence? I don't know.😅 -Not sure how long/what it'll take to decompress. 38 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Oh, Wataru is getting a... reboot? ...Would it be a good idea to wait for the new Rayearth and throw the two together in SRW?😛 1 hour ago, Armagon said: Oh well now I have to play it.

Narrow interests and not asking for a whole lot means I'm a chore to buy for. ...My point being- I'll join you on Ys X Shrimpy, just not right away.😉 EoW will also be on the Xmas list, except I have TotK from last 🎄 still unplayed.
