My flight was only delayed like 9 hours (with 3 boarding attempts) but I could see things being worse with an international flight. I'm not saying nothing fishy went down but this kind of thing does happen even in American airports.

I imagine most IX fans are snobs towards the simpler old school stories. On the flip side I feel confident that gameplay and character designs are a stronger driver of the fandom among the old school block, both of which are things FFIX is relatively weaker on. Like yeah, Vivi, but Vivi is the only actual good character design really. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Being set in a world means little imo, less than the spirit of the series, particularly when FF as a series takes place across a multitude of worlds. It's just token meaningless lip service. BD shares a lot more similarities to an FF game than a world setting that is practically there in name only.

Also possible that Smackdown viewers don't pay good attention to the show and didn't absorb where it got moved to, or decided to stick with the Baseball that was important enough to depose Smackdown.

| Topic | Is Super Castlevania IV a remake of Castlevania 1? |
| Lopen 11/01/19 3:27:57 PM #80 | LeonhartFour posted... what other games out there would it be debatable as to whether it's actually a remake or not Probably none And I'm pretty sure the only reason the debate exists is because of people just blindly accepting word on SCIV and the timeline of Castlevania only gaining relevance well after both games were made. (yes CV3 was confirmed prequel but you still didn't have a well established reverence for timeline yet) If we wanna get technical on the canon front, I'd sooner say Castlevania and SCIV are a games that simultaneously existed in the canon at some point, then Castlevania was retroactively made non-canon by people tied to the development saying SCIV is how Castlevania really went because series story conventions are cleaner if you don't have Dracula rise so many times in the lifetime of Simon Belmont, but it's kinda pointless to make that argument anyway-- and I'm not seriously making that argument since you basically have to take statements on canon from the official sources and it would just be a technicality even if someone conceded that point (but why would they). I mostly just don't think canon is very important for determining remake status with this game to begin with, as already said. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
| Topic | Is Super Castlevania IV a remake of Castlevania 1? |
| Lopen 11/01/19 12:57:29 PM #77 | Well the canon of Castlevania is that Dracula's Castle is a manifestation of chaotic magic and takes a different form and a different place every time it appears so "Dracula's Castle" is not actually the same place in Castlevania vs Super Castlevania either, as the level designs are completely different. Like it's not even "there are the same levels given a shiny coat of paint and then some extra ones"-- there is basically zero overlap in the level designs. (Which is why Jakyl's post was particularly annoying to read) --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
| Topic | Is Super Castlevania IV a remake of Castlevania 1? |
| Lopen 11/01/19 12:42:10 PM #73 | MoogleKupo141 posted... so it would canonically be a sequel Well my whole argument is canon is a stupid argument for considering remake vs sequel for a game series like this, at the point in time they were made-- plot matters in Castlevania now but not then so much. The "plot" was very clearly an afterthought for the games. Like if you want canon to be the end all more power to you but there are very little similarities whatsoever between SCIV and Castlevania if you're not taking what information developers spoon feed you from external materials. Consider with a lot of these older games that the series defined plot and canon isn't really given in the games themselves and is given after the fact. Just taking what's given directly in the games, Super Mario World would be a remake of Super Mario Bros 3 by pretty much every definition that SCIV is of Castlevania. It's a bastardization of the definition of remake at best. Definitely agree that any remake that isn't stretching this hard is pulling less than 10% in this poll. --- No problem!

| Lopen 11/01/19 12:26:27 PM #66 | redrocket posted... There are differences in the plots of SMB 1 and 3 if you actually pay attention! Depending on what you consider "the plot" this applies to SCIV vs Castlevania as well. Like there are a lot of bosses and stages straight up not in the original Castlevania in any form or fashion. Is Simon Belmont killing the Ghost Dancers part of the plot to SCIV? There are also bosses with reduced importance/different representation in SCIV vs Castlevania-- the Medusa isn't even a real boss in SCIV for example. I mean, the plot is so thin you could argue things like these are-- particularly if you consider Koopa Kids vs Bowser Clones an important plot difference, since there isn't a whole lot to the plot of SMB3 or SMB either. The only other difference in the plots is you save kings instead of random toads --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Topic | Super Metroid-- where am I going? |
| Lopen 11/01/19 12:08:36 PM #68 | There's a decent amount of stuff in Super Metroid that isn't plainly spelled out for you but isn't weird to consider trying. Grapple beam to shock the Maridia boss is one that jumps out as even less intuitive than than the glass but it's so rewarding if you think to do it (that's another one 9 year old Lopen figured out-- though I think he may have done that by accident by mashing buttons while being grabbed). I think as long as it isn't mandatory for progression, which IIRC the glass tube isn't and just gives you a shortcut, it doesn't really matter it's not obvious. Like I would say the "why don't Super Missiles do anything" isn't really a sound argument. The destructible blocks and doors don't really follow that convention so why should glass or any destructible object. You can unload as many super missiles on a yellow door as you want and it ain't budging, for example. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 10/31/19 8:32:34 AM #253 | I actually agree on everything but remake. Remake needs to maintain some sort of core element to the game, not necessarily the story. For RPGs, yeah, it's the story. For something like a platformer, where the story is almost irrelevant, a remake vs a sequel is going to be defined by something more core to the experience. Level and enemy design would be big ones for me. Like Simon Belmont kills Dracula is not a story that matters. Countless more story simple franchises have a ton of remakes if you're using story as the criteria. Is Sonic 2 a remake of Sonic the Hedgehog? Is Mega Man 2 a remake of Mega Man? Is Super Mario Bros 3 a remake of Super Mario Bros? It only doesn't sound absurd on its face because Castlevania eventually got a bit more story heavy over time and has a revolving door of main characters, but that higher plot standard doesn't retroactively apply to earlier titles. --- No problem!

Oswin/Sain/Erk/the lords make a decent team even without them Training the lords themselves, which is a must, can be a bit of a problem too is more what I was getting at.

| Lopen 10/29/19 11:41:18 PM #134 | I think the big potential for error is B overusing Oswin and Sain early and the lords and guys with low starting speed like Wil and Dorcas becoming dead weight. Like it's a hard team to train weak units on especially due to no healer. If they can last till the chapter Rath and Heath show up they've basically won though. Like it's definitely the strongest set of units overall, just not sure on how well it gels. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Feel like this will be B vs D though. I think D is significantly easier to play early but if B can get far in the game has higher upside. I'm guessing D > C > B > A here. Mostly based on the fact you said the players aren't very good at the game and I think B has some blunder potential. But I could see B winning too. --- No problem!

Like if anyone doubles up on Sain/Kent/Wil/Florina the one who gets none of them probably does die on that Dorcas map. I don't think Dorcas is a viable substitute to help you there cause you have to recruit him for him to help on that map which compromises Natalie.
