Depends on what I'm eating with it.

Curries that use coconut milk (usually Thai): long grain sticky rice

Chinese or other Southeast Asian cuisine: jasmine rice.

Local or Japanese foods: short grain rice.

What I don't like:
-Pacing is kind of poor in regards to doing all eight chapter 1s
-Levelling seems a little fucked because of the above
-Eight characters but two of each have very similar path actions which discourages pairing them
-They don't seem to interact much
-And you can't switch people out or have two separate parties going because the person you chose first happens to be 'the protagonist' even though I see no gameplay difference with that, I seriously do not understand that choice. It's fucking stupid.

Combat is fun
Inquire is fun but overall side quests feel a little thrown in

Tbh the games combat is what's keeping me in right now (and sinking $60), hopefully it picks up at chapter 2s


Interaction starts to occur a little more in the form of travel banter once you start doing Chapter 2s. Depending on who is in your party, each character will have a little skit where they talk with whomever the Chapter 2 is currently about. An example would be Tressa asking Primrose a question about dancing after a story cutscene in her Chapter 2.

Supposedly, once you start completing Chapter 4s, then the skits open to having multiple party members in them such a skit with all the guys participating in a contest of sorts but I haven't made it to that point myself.

Sounds like PA's from Star Ocean: The Second Story.

Might have to look up a list so I don't miss any.

I finally stepped out of the main loop path... my god, this world is huge. I initially wondered if the $60 price tag was a little high for a game that has a sort of indie-looking charm... nope. This game has meat on the bones.


It is kind of high honestly, but there are a few things to consider that make it a bit understandable.

1. They built an entirely new engine just to make this game.
2. They have a decent amount of voice acting (VAs are the most expensive part of any game that uses them) especially if you want quality voice acting.
3. The game is pretty well polished with very few bugs. A lot must have been spent on QA.

1. ...Unreal Engine 4 is a premade engine they paid money to use.

2. While it was a decent amount, they did skimp quite a bit during story scenes. I was rather surprised by how much major dialogue they didn't dub.

3. Bugs are much easier to avoid with a premade engine, and turn based battle in general.

Not saying that it wasn't worth full price, just that your reasoning is off.

Is this one of those things where they count people who play Candy Crush as "gamers"


who cares? its really unimportant. The definition of "gamer" has been changing for a while to accomodate the new forms of games that have been coming out.

It's not a bad thing. There's no benefit in exclusion or elitism. Maybe gamers can even get more respect and less stigma in society as people get to understand the culture more. and that's a great thing.

It actually is very important to the question at hand. Why should console games, which are likely male dominant, have 50% female protagonists, if that's not who the consumers are?

If the consumers of story-driven console games are men who want to play games as men, then why should they not get what they are spending their money for in order to satisfy a political preference?

Yeah, because it's story driven console games that have been the biggest sellers these past 5 years or so...

Why even make story driven console games at all when multiplayer fps games have been the main consumers? Forget the niche market and focus only on the biggest consumers.

To many side stories that are entirely unrelated to whatever single villain "this world" is based on, but still gets somehow created by Professor X anyways.

Professor X is powerful, but he can't create entire mental universes that run on their own.
And creating an entire universe would probably be easier than trying to run one as a simulation with just psychic powers.

Watching Kryptonians fight is probably the closest thing to live action DBZ we will get.

But Kung Fu Hustle exists.

Kung Fu Hustle isn't the closest thing to DBZ, though. If you actually want Live Action DBZ watch "The Monkey King" which is based on the book that Toriyama ripped off to make Goku.

As if DBZ actually takes more than a name and a couple of items from the ancient Journey to the West. And as if there hasn't been 50 different incarnations of it that preceded DB.

I might check the movie out though. Are the special effects and choreography decent?

Why the hell do people complain about permadeath? It's not permadeath + ironman.

Because save scumming feels cheaty? Depending on how and where the save menu is laid out, it can be a pain? Carrying on after losing a chunk of your team can be disheartening, if not impossible depending on the game's next mission?

Eh, I disagree. It's only scummy if you are figuring out a way to get around ironman. Otherwise, the game encourages you to reload by saving after every single chapter/battle.

Doesn't the GBA Fire Emblem have a anti save scum feature by saving after a character dies?

It autosaves the move that it's on, but if you choose to restart it starts you at the beginning of the chapter

Would of been nice to know that a long time ago. I tried the game but quit after losing a couple characters in battle. I also didn't like that weapons had limited use before breaking, even the sword of legend that you find in the first 5 minutes.

Colosseum + Secret shop = repair staffs.

I agree with gun rights, SYG and self defense personally. This was not self defense, the teen was not physically engaged with nor even approaching this coward. these cowards still would have killed those teens and lied about self defense. It's just that these days police actually investigate those incidents to find the truth.

Well clearly they are advanced since they can travel across space, but even so you're conflating our technology with there's and then assuming it can't match.

Amazon makes one small casual mistake in their warehouse and they send your Ski Boots to a chick in Norway and tomorrow you recieve a Cookbook in Nordish.

Say this to someone 120 years ago and they'd assume you have super-advanced tech even tho the baker might do the same thing in the morning when he sends his son to deliver the brown bread to the wrong family and the white bread to the preist.

Even with "advanced tech" it could be equvliant of a simple mistake or oversight. Like a hole in the fence or leaving the gate unlocked.

They'd probably just lament that the post hasn't improved in over a century.

This is more akin to a cow somehow making it from Australia to a random block of ice in the Arctic circle without any human help.

If it was able to get here through teleportation or a random ship, there's no way it would be actual first contact. Maybe first public contact, but not the real first contact.
