Zarude seems like to only issue there, at least you can shiny bait the others.


Im hoping so. But judging by Pokemon Home GTS, Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt are always in extremely high demand.

I might be able to get doubles of the Gen 4 future mons from Violet DLC and trade for them but Im not sure I could be bothered

Shake it all you want outside the secret bosses the added enemies really dont do much for the remixes. Hell I almost forgot about this one goofy Frankensteins Monster type enemy in Halloween Town because it requires you to go to a specific spot. I think the only other enemy with importance are the mushrooms they add. But outside that the cutscenes could be seen on YT and the same goes for the new secret endings which is how the majority of players and fans knew about them until they finally released them.

on the contrary. The most talked about and frankly best content in Kingdom Hearts IS the super bosses especially Lingering Will

Yea and no they add the additional content and boss fights are cool but they are something you can see on YT

This is really wrong.

KH1 adds a lot of unique heartless that function differently to regular heartless as well as a canon super boss, additional keyblades and more lore connecting games 1 & 2

KH2 fm adds so much of the above. But most importantly 14 super bosses that are really fun and crazy difficult

Those first five seasons are some of the best tv of all time IMO

I do feel like they got screwed by being just popular enough to renew the show.

If you finished at season 5 before the cliffhanger thats a 10/10 ending

season 6 is odd. But then gets going when it reveals the big twist.

season 7 sucks

8-10 is kind of bad but the idea of closing the gates of heaven and hell is a really great place to end the series. But they do nothing with it. Demon. Dean is another great story. That becomes nothing.

then its a huge mixed bag for so long. I did like the Amaya season but the way it was implemented was average.

then season 14 really redeems the show and ends on one of the best setups you could end a show on.

and then 15 s***s the bed beyond belief. Seriously. Theh could have had a huge season fighting all the best villains from the shows history. They could have had a huge Multiversal Sam/Dean fight against God. Instead they spend most of the season saying Sam and Dean were always kind of the worst hunters of all time but god liked them. Then rather than postpone the finale a few months. They just film it with like 4 people not even bringing back main characters. F*** me watching that hurt

I like what they did with it.

Its one of the biggest spoilers in all of gaming. There was no way just repeating the death would have any impact.

Not having her die was also the biggest theory before the game released.

Doing both was really the only avenue they could have had. I do wish theyd implemented it better though. Like maybe have us just save her and live with that for a while before crushing us with the truth. I didnt like the snap cuts between it

Just so we are clear. Digimon dont have specific forms they digivolve to even though the anime tends imply that. They follow kind of branches were they have multiple options to digivolve to.

im digging deep here and may be incorrect but i think theres something special about Exveedramon and most Veemon become Veedramon and only 1 in 100 Veemon become Exveedramon

So a developer makes some decently reviewed games that didn't translate into sales on either PS5 or Xbox. How dare MS not keep funding them.

And MS didn't even buy Zenimax specifically for Arkane and Tango. They bought it for Bethesda and ID and the other studios were a bonus.

Gamepass is clearly unsustainable. Despite all the glowing praise for Hi-Fi, its not translated to sales.

I assume Microsoft was hoping buying out Activision would be able to force people to Xbox for exclusives so they could then raise Gamepass prices higher.

Then the market turned and interest rate skyrocketed and playing the long game was no longer feasible.

I imagine thats still the gameplan but in the short term its going to mean a whole lot of closures and layoffs.

So its (spoilers for 30 year old game):
* snow town and snow area
* (maybe) bone town
* crater
* Wutai
* Junon return
* Mideel
* Corel return
* fort Condor
* underwater base/submarine
* Rocket town
* forgotten city
* midgar return
* final area

Doesnt seem like more than Rebirth, especially considering that the cities you return to can just be set pieces rather than having you be able to walk around in them again.


also figure against Ultima, Ruby and Emerald since no way they can leave those out.

Gelnika sunken ship as well

Vincent is going to need all of his side backstory as well

also probably need an expanded space section

chocobo breeding

entire open world map (I think they confirmed they are attempting this)

part of me wants them to include the frog trap forest but I reckon that gets cut

and if the rumours about sales arent great I cant see it being as big as Rebirth which is a huge disappointment

I mean isnt Roxas Soras nobody?
And Ventus and Sora have the same heart?


Roxas is Soras Nobody. But at some point he developed his own heart and is now in a replica body. So technically hes his own person now. And same with Xion.

Ventus heart was fractured by Master Xehanort into Light and Dark(Vanitus). This broke Ventus and Sora as a newborn shared his heart with Ventus to keep him alive.

later when beaten at the end of BBS, Ventus retreated into Soras heart. But he was always his own person.

also since Ventus heart was inside Sora at the time of becoming a Nobody, Roxas is also part Ventus which is why he resembles him

Probably my 2nd or 3rd favourite.

pros:
gambit system allows you to eliminate the boring stuff. Anyone who says the game plays itself once you setup your gambits hasnt played all content. Late game stuff will make you change your gambits frequently and they arent even required if you want to play without them.

lots of options for weapons and builds

lots of fun content like bosses, hunts, rare game, espers and secret areas.

finally you can change armor and weapons miscombat. So if you know an attack with an element or status is coming you can block or absorb it
cons:

story falls flat about halfway through.

at times progression to the next story is blocked off by about 3-4 entire areas (not zones) so youll find yourself walking a lot. 4x speed boost does remedy this

at times it feels like the treasure and bazaar system wants you to have a guide with you

if you like exploring and active turn based battling youll enjoy it.

It was literally one of the last things to happen in the old series. The world believes Xavier is dead but they were very particular to note that he was taken off-planet by the Shi'ar to be healed.

Still that episode very much treated the whole affair as if he was dying for realsies.

Honestly I suggest watching like a half-hour recap of the series on YT. You'll get the salient points.

This is the one I watched:
