yeah going back and doing the parade was one of the last things I did, and fyi - even being perfect on the weakest difficulty isn't enough to get you the high score/beat Roche/get trophy. Was perfect and maxed out at like 98k and you need something like 101k to win? Gotta get some 2 or 3 stars in there.

absolutely epic moment. Loved that, and the stonefaced reaction to the hotel hanging man (while Elena shrieks). And for all the songs left off of the OST, somehow the "Ballad of the Bald" still found a spot. They really couldn't have held that for the Plus album, huh...

running theory I'm working with is Rude knew Tifa before the events of FF7 - possibly the Shinra operative who helped save her 5 years ago (per somebody - Doc Sheiran said that I think?), or maybe he also trained under Zangan? Swerving the helicopter to avoid shooting her at the Sector 7 plate, surely he wouldn't do that for any pretty girl running up those stairs?

(watch me missing something from Trace of Two Paths or Before Crisis or whatever, lol)

while Reno got the best Turk stuff in Remake and Elena with Rebirth, looking good for Rude in part 3?? Though as noted, that's tough when you're playing the stoic straightman to bigger personalities.

I could get a bot to post periodic updates in here

of course tho I uh very much would not like my bots to post moddable activity so I dunno that sounds risky

....which reminds me, you need to either disable Twiska or remove some of her quotes <_<

^ As a 90s comic reader I was doing the Leo-DiCaprio-pointing meme, lol

Also from the 90s card game "Overpower" where Bastion was an "Any Charcter" negate card and rarest in the Monumental set of cards, lol

fyi for the last posted update, no issues w/ the tallies but you had Gen's name on Dangers when she didn't save it

I dont know who else is left.

5th place NPC: the guy who points and "whoas" at Tifa as she walks to the beach in Costa Del Sol.

(I say Tifa specifically and not "Tifa and Aerith" because the next scene is him trying to rizz up Tifa while she's walking by ignoring him totally, lol)

But what about second announcement trailer?

incredible thing is, for how little anime I watch, the only one of the 10 I haven't seen is HxH. Which I guess I should add to the queue...

Also quality winners since Brotherhood is my #3 all-time and Monster is my #2, but there is only one Reinhard von Lohengramm (we don't count Die Neue These)

Yuffie most improved character for sure. Looking forward to the Barret write-up now because I still feel top 3 is a severe overrating but the write-up rationale could turn me!!

I learned recently that Test 0 is actually a reference to a glitch in the original game, which is really neat.

That is so cool! I was even planning to boot up an old save to check it out until I got to the editor's note at the bottom... damn, lol

Is this really that good? I'll have to pick it back up. I stopped watching when Yahiko showed up.

I'm sure to the broader fanbase it's not, people will ding it for the artstyle or not comparing to the original... or, you know, that thing with the artist...

but I liked it and looked forward to it every week, I remember saying at the time it felt comfy to watch and I still stick with that. But it also only ranks so high for me by virtue of watching little else from the 'past 10 year' timeframe though, it'd probably rank somewhere in the 20s on my overall anime list. Konosuba probably leapfrogs it once I'm caught up & my 6th through 9th place weren't as good (certainly Goblin Slayer season 2 drags it down, just Season 1 and I'd probably have it #1).

Since this topic came up (and I finished Rebirth) I started a new game of Hades and been playing it almost non-stop, goddamn the gameplay loop is just so addictive even if I've already been through this all. I guess i really love doing repetitive stuff over and over, lol.

Re-experiencing the game and the story and what the Hades II story we're seeing so far in the technical test is setting up, so many questions of where the House of Hades crew are (beyond seeing dozing Hypnos and the main man Skelly), man. I can't wait.

Urge to get into early access group, rising... I wonder how limited that group is.

just glad to help

I hope everyone ranking it is watching Jellyfish this season!

Never heard of it, let's see what wikipedia says

Four girls, "Mahiru Kouzuki", an illustrator who stops drawing, "Nonoka Tachibana", a former idol who wants to prove herself with singing, "Nox Rygasaki", a self-proclaimed "the strongest" VTuber, and "Kimura-chan", a mysterious composer who wants to support her favourite person, together form an anonymous artist group, "JELEE".

....i may be in, but in true MartinFF7 fashion I'll wait 5-10 years before watching it probably, lol.

if anyone still needs a trade, this one's still open (post #38)

Yeah considering most of the anime I watch is years after it originally came out.... wow this is a challenge, pulling up my tracking file to see what shows I have (and have watched):

01) A Place Further Than The Universe
02) Attack on Titan
03) Spy x Family
04) Rurouni Kenshin (2023)
05) Konosuba (in progress)
06) Goblin Slayer
07) Dragon Ball Super
08) The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan
09) Girls' Last Tour

Haven't even hit 10 series, and AoT would probably be disqualified for season 1 being in 2013. Damn.

7th Time Loop

just finished s2e08 of Konosuba (my long-delayed sporadic watchthrough) (episode with running hawk kites/zombies in first half, visit to Axis Church city in second half)

As I was watching the episode I was planning to post in here how Darkness continues to be the best. By episode's end I'm like, that is my favourite Konosuba episode yet, it's the first time I'm probably going to rewatch an episode rather than move on to the next. God-tier ending.

Feeling really fortunate that it's back with a third season because I would feel sad knowing there's only 2 eps + OVA + movie remaining... will be caught up soon.

Are you using the magic cheese strats or trying to fight through it legitimately? The way I eventually got by it was the cheese strat, Yuffie ATBrumal-ing while having other 2 party members using -aga spells, keeping the opponent bouncing around/preventing from making actions (other than the opening basic attack combo)

It's random

I refuse to believe this!!! but I accept it's possible...

Dark Gathering

i'll do it, get Dangers

I think I saw a streamer race with one that had a jump as their special move, forget which (maybe the green/Gongaga one?), but I only ever raced with the original chocobo and I also cursed the cactuar doors. Failed on the timing way too much.

Didn't they patch in whatever it was people couldn't figure out about this controls?

I have a memory of the first patch notes saying it was making G&G harder. glad to have finished it before then...

SVU spun off of Law and Order which debuted in 1990! That's the only other one I can think of.

yeahhhh but Law and Order was cancelled at one point and later came back so I don't give it the same credit, though you're arguably right. Similar to the Fraiser return... not even going to comment on the Good Times cartoon nobody asked for, lol

Yuffies gotta be 5

....my initial gut instinct is that Yuffie really has a strong chance of being #1, though maybe that's too much. But yeah, we got a little taste for her in Intermission but the upgrade for her over the original game is just so huge. She got the Jessie treatment as primary comic relief with non-stop great lines and moments (I would still crack a smile at every "hey there, jerkface" I'd hear when replaying or watching a streamer play through the final battle, lol)

Not enough of an upgrade to surpass Aerith and Tifa in my eyes but still. 100% top three, and yeah maybe just 3rd place but still, I can argue for higher placement than that. Would be very surprised if Barret isn't in 4th place.

Hot(?) take: Loveless was kinda boring and Aeris's song there sucked.

It might be "hot" now but I feel like it will cool in due time & everyone'll agree eventually. I'm with you in that I also was not a fan of it!

(showing the Avalanche trio at the end of Aerith's song also doesn't really make sense, as a viewer it's pulling our heartstrings but in the game Wedge is the only 1 of the 3 Aerith ever met and she knew him for like, 2 minutes)

Young Sheldon's brother is getting his own show

BBT Cinematic Universe is out of control, even Happy Days and its numerous spinoffs were limited to a ~10 year timeframe. Big Bang Theory debuted in 2007.

....lol the earlier post reminding me that NCIS spun off from JAG which debuted in 1995 so I guess that's still the reigning active champ.
