Yeah, the Dragon Quest games can be played in any order. 1-3 and 4-6 are loosely connected (I think it's worth playing 1-3 in order if you planned to play all of them; 4-6 it doesn't really matter at all), but there's no need otherwise.

7's my favorite game of all time, but it's a bit divisive due to the slow pacing. 8 is also great and is more universally praised so it's a pretty safe bet.

14 here right now which I guess is certainly better than -whatever

It never gets colder than like 40 in the bay area though, so I'm not used to it at all anymore

Best plot twist: GFs actually erase your characters memories. Specifically, they take up space in your brain where your memories should be. In other words, they cause CTE.

heck yeah orphanage scene is unironically great

Can't say I agree with this...!

Darn it, the cartridge ejected while I had my 3DS in my pocket so I just lost a decent bit of progress. Lame.

This has been happening to me relatively frequently lately. It's really annoying.

The Russia investigation started due to the drunken bragging of George "totally just a coffee boy" Papadopoulos, not the dossier (as the Trump camp has repeatedly claimed):

Anybody happen to know where the Ruined Chapel of Danafas is? I know it's somewhere in Temperantia's Central Plain, but I can't find it (it has some frog enemy I need for an affinity chart slot).

I barely use aux cores. The effects all look so minor and/or situational.

I assume that's wrong, but I don't know which are worth using.

One FUN FACT that I don't think was made explicit (though it may have been?) [don't read this Jeff, I don't remember if it's spoilery for where you are or not]: The reason why Shirou/Archer was summoned by Rin is that the special item that summons him is Rin's pendant (like Excalibur's sheath is used to summon Saber).
---

Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!

To clarify my Fate character opinions given that reveal: I consider Archer to be a distinct character from Shirou and like him quite a bit

Anyways, I've been playing Xenoblade 2 the last two days. Still not totally sure to make of this game. Feels like I'm playing a game that's a downgrade of X - especially graphically. As if it were designed for portable mode or something. Camera can get pretty wonky, especially in tight areas. I could make a list of QoL modificiations I'd make already to greatly improve/streamline things. Also not totally sold on the story/characters/writing yet but it's still very early so there's hope - feels off so far though.

With all that out of the way though, I'm still enjoying it a lot. I don't totally "get" combat yet, but it's pretty fun and the music has been great thus far. Also the boss theme is downright amazing.

A lot of weird design choices for sure

I'm in chapter 6 and still really don't care for the main character. Most of the rest of the cast are fine, though.

You should be able to acquire MGS2 fairly easily (I recommend nabbing the HD Collection for PS3 which offers MGS3 and Peace Walker as well)

Yes this collection is great

Also definitely play Paper Mario and Golden Sun

I hope it's considerably better than the other show with basically that premise (SAO)!

I'm almost certainly going to add this game to my list of VNs I may one day play

I still need to finish it. I was almost at the end of the third route but then I went back to school and lost access to a Windows computer.

I really wish the writing was better. The story's good, but the guy uses about 3-4 times as many words as he needs to (especially for battle scenes, which are so boring to read through).

Is it like a ton of fluffy excess? The Fate/Zero dub has a lot of that. It's anime dubbishly charming, but yeah, I can see "FOOLISH IDIOT" and "COMPLETELY WITHOUT QUESTION A FAILURE" and "NOTHING MORE THAN TRASH -- A MONGREL" getting tiring in text form.

With dialogue it's not too bad. As I mentioned, it's worst during the fighting scenes; I think he feels the need to really describe them in a lot of detail, but it's just not exciting at all when you're looking at a fixed image and reading 20-30 lines of text.

love sometimes makes no sense man

it's why I've largely avoided it for the last seven years

I've avoided it for the last five due to never taking the initiative to meet people ever!

Though that may have changed recently? Or not!

Not too big a fan of Sakura, but she's better than Shirou at least...!
---

Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!

I guess that's true, but he definitely should be aware that Saber is way stronger than him and that him protecting her makes absolutely zero sense
---

Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!

However, Shiro refuses to let Saber protect him when he actually needs it. He doesn't want to make her help him, even though that's exactly what she's there to do.

This is a big factor in my hatred of Shirou (in addition to his general lameness). You don't have to protect King fucking Arthur!
