| colliding 03/26/24 12:30:53 AM #129 | 125 hours, did everything except for the gilgamesh island super battles and that one quest that got glitched with the recent patch. looks like I might be able to do it easy in chapter selection.
wow. this game was PERFECT. really blown away by everything. this might be the last AAA console jrpg we get of this quality based on where the market is headed. couldn't have asked for a better game to go out on. I'm also not convinced that "our" Aerith is actually dead.
Also I thought for sure Lodbrok was going to be cloud's dad or old cloud from an alternate timeline all the way until the ending, so don't listen to me --- while you slept, the world changed |

An important case, though not altogether satisfying. The first real case that gives players a sense of the series as a whole (partner investigations, big twists, etc.) Dee Vasquez isn't great imo and the last day of investigation feels weird. --- while you slept, the world changed |

I give both 1-1 and 1-2 a lot of leeway because they're still doing a bunch of game building. Yeah the ending and the culprit suck, but I feel if you went straight from 1-1 into an actual unknown mystery it could have been disorienting. The gameplay build in going from "extremely obvious" to "extremely obvious with an investigation section" to "not obvious at all with an investigation section" is important. --- while you slept, the world changed |

A perfect tutorial case. From a game design standpoint, hugely important. As other people have said, in terms of the heights the series reaches later it's quaint. Funny, and I actually like how it can be fully read and beaten in less than twenty minutes. --- while you slept, the world changed |

| Topic | RIP Akira Toriyama |
| colliding 03/08/24 12:32:56 PM #56 | I had a terrible middle school/early years of high school experience. If I wasn't feeling completely alone and abandoned, I was being bullied. Instead of friends, I had video games and anime. And of course, my favorite video game was Chrono Trigger and my favorite anime was Dragon Ball Z.
I first remember seeing Dragon Ball on UPN or something on Saturday mornings, really early. I remember the very first episode I saw was during the time when Gohan was being trained by Piccollo and Goku was I guess having fun in the Home for Infinite Losers. I remember liking it but not knowing why I liked it. Somehow it got its hooks in me, especially when it was picked up by Toonami. I remember I had seen the Namek arc multiple times, and then Toonami announced that it was finally going to start showing the Cell arc. I was so excited I had my dad record the episodes on VHS for me. He also kind of got into it too. It wasn't until later that I made the connection that the first game my dad and I played "together" (Dragon Warrior) also had characters designed by the guy who did Dragon Ball. Nowadays, I really don't think of Dragon Ball as being all that good of a manga/anime. But for a middle schooler who had pretty much only seen it and Sailor Moon, it was everything. --- while you slept, the world changed |

| Topic | Octopath Traveler II? |
| colliding 03/01/24 4:51:17 PM #17 | I love this game a lot but I've mellowed out in my old age and I think it's totally fine if it's not your thing.
If "party dynamic" as described in the original post is the only way you like your parties, you'll probably never enjoy the series. The comparison I make is that most rpg's nowadays are Fellowship of the Ring but Octopath Traveler is the Canterbury Tales. It works best if you imagine the characters sharing their individual journeys together rather than being on one grand journey together. I actually like that it's a different way of storytelling than most games these days. That being said, the ending/epilogue to this game is much more of the whole "band comes together and banters" style and the payoff is pretty good. --- while you slept, the world changed |
