Bioware painted themselves into a corner with the Reapers. How do you save the galaxy from a group of sentient, omnipotent machines, who control the genesis of all civilization? If the reapers weren't as powerful as the narrative made them be, Bioware would have had an easier time of it. They were painting a masterpiece, and instead of finishing it, they just threw their paint at the canvas.

I made it to Mor Ardain yesterday. I explored a little bit, then popped some blades on Nia. My second one produced Electra.

I just acquired Newt. Interesting character design, to be sure. She's a tank though, so she's kind of wasted on Nia. Oh well - I can probably move her around later to a more capable tank. In the meantime, she can lead my expeditions.

Cutscenes and other gameplay elements were watered down though. I dunno... certain scenes just werent as impactful on P3P. I mean, the game added a lot of much needed changes but I definitely missed some things about FES.

There are two instances I can think of right off the top of my head:

1) The realisation that the full moon has an effect on when a boss appears outside of Tartarus

2) Shinjiro protecting MC, Yukari, and Junpei in behind the station at night.

P3P exists fucking fight me

It's visual novel style though where you don't walk around with your character half the time... just picking shit from menus.

You dont need that bullshit. It was streamlined and pefected

Wrong. A lot of the story segments have visual storytelling (camera work, specific character actions), that can't be conveyed in a meaningful manner in a visual novel. The impact is lessened.

Agreed. I like FES because I don't like the storybook way P3P tells the story. Take the good shit from P3P, slap it on FES, pretend The Answer doesn't exist, and away we go.

You had to watch it as a kid, as most of the adulation is from nostalgia. I personally love the movie.

That's fair. There's movies I loved as a kid, but rewatching now I realize they dont hold up much, but often still have a soft spot for.

Like Sharkboy and LavaGirl. Bad movie, but I loved it as a kid.

Same with me and TMNT2/Terminator 2. I love those movies, and they're absolute classics. However, rewatching them again as an adult soured me on them a bit because of how kid-friendly TMNT 2 became (couldn't even use their weapons to beat up enemies, and that god damn dance scene), and how commercialised T2 became.

Been doing merc missions and trying to decide which fodder blades to get rid of. I'm thinking that I'm relatively safe getting rid of the 1* blades, unless they come with something pretty unique (one has tier 3 salvaging).

Answer a question for me - does the increase in rank for an individual skill (salvaging, botany, etc.) determine the effectiveness of it when it procs (15% increase in rares, 20% increase in rares, etc.), or does it only affect your proc rate (tier one= 20% proc, tier two = 30% proc, etc.).

Interesting. Blades from the same weapon class share weapon points, and thus share levels in their respective attacks. I didn't know that.

Make sure to keep checking those a couple will tell you about sidequests you can find. My last rare blades were in informant sidequests I totally forgot about until endgame.

Okay. I just got my third one: Kora, the hand-to-hand lightning bug. Oh, fuck yes. She has lock picking.

So poor design? They don't even have a tutorial tab for shit you forget so if you don't sit down and complete it in one go you're screwed? It's natural to forget some stuff over time but why in the hell would battle rely on things taught slowly that you can't even review?

I've noticed that there are informants in the various cities that sell information to you relating to game play and battle mechanics.

Just got my second one - Azami. Looks to be an ether based dark fighter. Good, because Nia sucks at physical.

*checks*

Oh great, she's fatalistic. Increases affinity when a fellow driver takes damage, counter-attacks with 180% ether damage, specials get more power the lower the HP of the driver, and all three of her specials increase damage dealt when less than 30% HP.

Kamoshida was more of a personal villain, and really galvanized the group. The rest of them were kind of esoteric compared to that, and more referenced ills of society that the group sought to undermine. Of course they weren't going to be as personal.

I like the English dub because to my ears, it better conveys the feeling of a host of individual nations, with their own unique architecture and accents.

Anyways, I was grinding common core's so I could get a damn bitball blade for a mission, and I unlocked my first non Story related rare blade - Nim, the healer. I was grinding cores on Nia, so this is quite good.

Just started chapter 4 and opened up mercenary missions. The mission structure of this sounds like exactly what type of thing radiant quests should be designated for - a simple fucking menu. Some shit opens up, and you send your blades along the way to deal with it. No Preston Garvey to tell you that a stupid settlement needs help, or trying to claim some random asshole's ancestral iron sword from some cavern you cleared out 30 hours ago, Bethesda.

For Rex this is a smart move since there is only a couple blades that come even close to the aegis anyway. Unfortunately, and one of the worst things about this game, if you want to do sidequests you are going to need field skills from rare blades.

Yeah, I had a feeling that would be the case. That's why I'm not worrying too hard about it right now. I'll use the common cores to level up my idea levels, then use those to try and get rare blades in due time.

People said no to the SoM remake because they're stuck in the past, and turn their noses up at a bastardisation of its charming aesthetic. I agree with them, but it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the game. Anyways, I wrote a review of Adventures of Mana, if you're on the fence.

It's alright.

Always glad to see people talking about this game and actually enjoying it. It isn't for everyone but there is a lot of fun to be had. What kind of luck have you had with blades so far? Do you have or are you considering the dlc?

I haven't been popping cores yet; I see no reason to do so just now. Maybe when I start taking on mercenary work, but for now, I have 3 cores on Rex, and 3 on Nia. No rares out of that lot. I have over 40 common cores, and 7 or so rare cores.

Adventures of Mana is the remake of Final Fantasy Adventure, I believe. It was completely stable on the Vita, and I'm sure they've had plenty of time to fix any stability issues with the game. If you want a game to spend 12-20 hours on, then go for it.

My first play of the game, and I know little about the story. I know about Pyra and Myrra, or whatever her name is, but not how their relation is relative to the Aegis. I know that Poppi gets multiple forms. I also know that Morag joins up at chapter 5. That's basically all the knowledge I have about the game.

Anyways, I'm currently in chapter 3, and just got done talking to Cole. Battle system is pretty swag so far, and I like the English VA work, as it lends a greater nuance to the fact that the world has different regions and cultures. I know Dragon Quest tried it in text form with their localisations, but no one ever really did it in VA; they always just default to the typical British accents. Hearing Welsh, Scottish, British, and Australian accents are a nice change.
