LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:25:21 PM #108 | Mac Arrowny posted... What does this even mean though? Couldn't you say it's a waste of time to play FFIX at all? What's the reason to do so, besides having fun? ...I don't think I've been unclear in what I've said but apparently I have the game gives you zero reason to play Tetra Master (as in, absurdly great rewards like Triple Triad does) and most of the characters still carry the same crappy low level cards late into the game so there's not much reason to play it regularly even just as a collect-a-thon to get all the cards like I rarely play mini-games just to play them; the game needs to give me a reason to want to play this instead of advancing the story I'll even put up with something I don't necessarily enjoy if the payoff is worth it once I realized Tetra Master wasn't worth my time I dropped it totally --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:21:54 PM #105 | the one thing I will say in Covenant's favor is that the young girl in your party is actually good (although I think I'm in the minority on that) which is extremely rare for a JRPG --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:18:03 PM #102 | Yeah, the characters being mostly miss is what kinda scared me off. I mean Covenant's cast is kinda hit or miss too but it's more hit than miss, at least --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:15:36 PM #99 | The Mana Sword posted... I dunno, pretty much nobody ever matters in any shadow hearts game aside from Yuri, and to a lesser extent Alice. Well yeah, Yuri is still the main dude, but the party at least participates and they have unique, discernible personalities. They also have their own sidequests. SH1 almost feels like an SNES RPG (or Chrono Cross without accents) where you might as well have stock responses regardless of who's in your party. --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:14:05 PM #98 | The Mana Sword posted... shadow hearts hot and cold I've still never played From The New World. Didn't seem as good and it looked like they went a little too far off the deep end. --- |
Topic | Quinton and Leonhart in Different Houses: Happy New Ymir! [JZLF] |
LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:12:09 PM #96 | Yeah, you might like Covenant better. The playable cast is like twice as large, and there's a lot more party interaction. and holy crap the gameplay is worlds better The atmosphere is a step back from SH1, but otherwise it's a much better game, at least to me. --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:09:39 PM #93 | I said it's a waste of time if you want to try to play it regularly, like I did one time. I stopped because I realized there was no reason for me to do so. --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:08:20 PM #91 | Shadow Hearts was a very hot and cold experience for Jeff Zero he really liked it at first but at some point (not exactly sure when) he stopped enjoying it as much I'm not sure if he'd like Covenant more. It would depend on what exactly he doesn't like about SH1. --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 10:04:17 PM #79 | I think you had me do something in Shadow Hearts for you, but I forget what. I think it was a Judgment Ring where you had to push the buttons really fast to get them all since the window was so tight, maybe. --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 9:57:04 PM #67 | yeah that's one of the things that is a total waste of time Tetra Master is the biggest waste of time though if you actually try to play it. I decided I would try to play it regularly like I do for Triple Triad on one of my playthroughs, where I challenge each person who plays to one game each. I think I quit playing cards in Dali because that's a bad mini-game and there's zero incentive to play it. --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 9:52:11 PM #65 | SaveEstelle posted... Tonight on Things ResetERA People Say:No, but you tried to call out FF9 for wasting the player's time with a false claim. You do not need to Steal to strengthen your core stats. 9999 Thievery is the most tryhard, GameFaqs era goalpost out there. It's completely unnecessary. I completely ignored Stealing in my first playthrough and got through the game fine, because Zidane's base kit is good and FF9 isn't difficult enough to justify it. I mean he's not totally wrong FFIX does give you plenty of things that are a total waste of time, but most of them aren't necessary. now while I can understand the temptation to never steal in FFIX because of how bad the steal rate is I've never gone THAT far --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 9:49:30 PM #63 | Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm all done with Mario Odyssey. Not going to bother with the jump rope or volleyball tedium, so I technically didn't get all the Power Moons, but close enough. I did get all the purple coins though! So yeah, great game. Let's do a quick SMB ranking! Galaxy 2 > Galaxy 1 > SMB3 > SMW > Odyssey > Yoshi's Island > Mario 64 > SMB1 > 3D Land > SMB2 > Sunshine > NSMB Something like that, maybe. There are still a few I haven't played. --- |

Topic | Suppose I wanted to finally get into the Shin Megami Tensei/Persona series |
LeonhartFour 01/02/18 9:23:46 PM #4 | They originally stuck the Shin Megami Tensei title on Persona for the English releases just to attach it to an already established series in hopes it would help it sell now that Persona is way more popular than SMT for English audiences they don't do that anymore I don't know much of anything about SMT so I can't help you there, but I think they share a lot of the same lore in terms of the types of demons and other spirit beings that are in each series --- |
Topic | Suppose I wanted to finally get into the Shin Megami Tensei/Persona series |
LeonhartFour 01/02/18 9:19:21 PM #2 | Persona and SMT aren't related in terms of plot/canon, so you don't necessarily have to play both. --- |

LeonhartFour 01/02/18 7:39:53 PM #42 | Oh hey, a new FFVII Found in Translation video was released today (this is part 8). It covers the Gold Saucer/Corel Prison part of the game, which I'm pretty sure was as far as I played on the FFVII PS4 port when Jeff Zero was here. We'll have to pick up where we left off when he comes back because FFVII is rad. This video is also rad. ![]() --- |

She does have a bigger role in F/SN than in UBW, so I guess I'm just gradually building up to the ultimate payoff! I guess I'll rank all the characters between both continuities once I finish F/SN. --- |
