My classmates used to tell me I looked like Harry Potter when I was that age.

my classmates told me i reminded them of patrick star

fanta
that pop is so bad they couldnt even get the mascots for the brand to drink it
you never see the fantanas actually drink the pop

No we can't. If you don't love pepperoni and mushrooms, fuck you, mate!

thats called canadian pizza and i dont understand why
at least hawaiian made sense as they roast ham over a spit with pineapple

anyway i had a crush on him when i was 15 and now that im 35 i think the crush may have just came back

What is it about Rowling that makes you so defensive?

honestly it sounds like he just agrees with her that transgender people should be mistreated by society
its the only reason to defend her views

But show respect to the woman that authored the artwork that set you up for life. People used to be able to disagree and still maintain friendships. He shows no respect.

her stance is an entire minority group of people dont deserve dignity or to be treated as people
thats not something that deserves respect by anyone
and he did a job for a studio. she didnt hire him someone else did. he was an employee doing a job. you dont owe the CEO of a company you work at respect especially when they are shitty people

that was a fun site
but they get some information wrong like thinking esuna in 7th saga was a man when its a woman
or thinking bowman wasnt good in star ocean 2 when he is incredibly OP

also never listen the the level recommendations on rpgclassics
every guide is like "this is the first boss and its literally impossible to lose this fight. but spend 3 days grinding to level 40 before fighting it just to be safe"

got sidetracked with strangers of paradise final fantasy which i got on sale
im in the second last dungeon so next time i play ill wrap up this solo run
but right now im having fun

i neve win these things which is a shame cause i really want octopath traveler 2

Kimmie better be coming as DLC!!

Yes I've seen it and the sequels
The first one is great
The second one is passable with some really entertaining scenes

But the third and fourth movies are pure garbage

ive made some more decent progress. if i really push i could beat the game tonight but i dont really want to rush

87
But that was in a dream I had when I was very hungry but I'm counting it

Yeah the weird hate for Anne never made any sense the whole internet just decided they hated her one day and yet could never say the reason

i made good progress
beat telos mai and voyager
funny enough i actually beat voyager first try with ziggy and i consider that the hardest episode 3 boss to solo
where as i needed 3 attempts to take down mai

J.D is a lot like ted mosby in that they are just terrible people that the show wants us to think are quirky and lovable but when you actually think about the things they do they are pretty shitty

like how JD sabotaged elliots relationship and then immediately didnt want her now that she left her boyfriend for him

at least the janitor is there to abuse him which is more and more deserved one very rewatch

in captain planet the villains would often do things like intentionally cause an oil spill just to stick it to the environment
republicans are less subtle than that

I only did the post game content with shion
Didn't bother with KOSMOS or ziggy

I've seen them angry that the game is woke because of of the 3 leads is a black woman

I've only heard the one nirvana song and the weird al parody

Reasons

started episode 3
once i finish with ziggy i can loop around back to episode 1 and do MOMO solo
when i get to jin solo instead of skipping episode 1 ill try to do an AWGS only run of the game cause in 20 years and like 50 playthroughs i have never used the AWGS
they bore me
but thats an entire aspect of the game i know nothing about so i might as well learn it

and for sections where the character im soloing isnt available i just play normally such as the shion dungeon in episode 2

I must be the only person who didn't actively dislike Xenosaga 2. Oh there were some things I thought were jarring, like the sudden change in art style especially for Shion (not to mention the weird personality shift) among many things I didn't like about the game. But once I learned how to juggle enemies the battle system became super easy and fun. It's the same strategy every time and I'm fine with it.

Plus since I really liked Jr I was into the whole Rubido-Albedo backstory, facility experimenting on superpowered kids and how they break out etc.

That does raise a question tc how exactly do you deal with the Xenosaga 2 portion of the game where you only play as Shion? Do you do any level grinding?

well the personality shift is more due to olivia hacks take on the character rather than an actual shift in the writing for her
it was the performance that makes it feel different.
yeah when shion is along before going to the cafe i had to go back to the opening dungeon and fight the soldiers there for awhile because shion needs a lot of work to be able to beat albedo and she doesnt do much damage to enemies in MOMO's subconcious except against the infected URTVs and those dont respawn so you cant grind off them.

once you get past albedo however the game becomes a lot easier
he is the big hurdle of episode 2. once you can beat him you should be able to handle everything else. so long as you get all the secret keys to get the skills

and yes ziggy is in each game.

There was a game called final fantasy mobius a few years ago and it's lead character was revealed and his outfit was the skimpy oversexualized style many female characters had to wear

And the exact same people who will defend putting a nun in a game with nothing but a mini skirt, stripper boots and pasties send letter after letter to square until they redesigned the character to be less sexual

So I can't take any argument in favor of oversexualized designs seriously when I know the people defending it would 100% be outraged if a male character dressed as skimpy

best part of playing episode 3 is that its the game where ziggy is at his strongest
he is much closer to top tier in episode 3 then he is in the first 2 games
he is the weakest party member overall in episode 1 and in episode 2 he is bottom 3

Coraline is my favorite kids horror movie

I was like episode 2 cant be as bad as everyone says! And it literally sucked the soul of my life lol

It still has a few good moments
Play lunar dragon song for the DS
Nothing will seem bad by comparison ever again

I spent 4 hours at the dentist getting one of my bottom wisdom teeth pulled out. The numbing just wasn't working so everytime they tried to pull my tooth it hurt like crazy. Eventually I just stopped telling them it hurt and bared through the pain just so it would finally be over
And what got me through that was the question "is this worse than playing lunar dragon song?" The answer is no

and episode 2 ziggy solo is finished
now i dont think im gonna jump right into episode 3

can probably finish my ziggy run of episode 2 today and move on to episode 3

ive also done solo runs in FF1 on the nes
ive finished a figher solo and a thief solo
im workig on a black belt solo. took a little break from it but i had beaten lich

some games that were rated teen on the ps2 era would 100% get an M rating today like xenosaga

accord posted...

are the games that easy that you can solo them

you can solo almost any jrpg if you have played them enough to understand the mechanics

last night i beat orgulla
and now i reloaded so i can farm off her to get 25 awakening IIs
i need the reward from the pay off the captain debts sidequest and this is the quickest and easiest as well as the earliest you can get the items needed to sell to pay it off.

its an ok show
juliette however......a lot of people dont like her but i didnt hate her
i think that she works best in one off episodes though
when she is the focus of a monster of the day episode i really enjoy her
but anytime she has a season long story arc its always terrible

hope you beat episode 1 one day too

I'm not sure if he was actually good but I always liked using Jr in the first game. Loved his skill where he shoots coins and they ricochet like crazy.

he is solid in all 3 games
never the best party member but never the worst

and im on disk 2 of episode 2 with ziggy solo now

saspa posted...

Wow you really like the trilogy huh. Once was enough for me.

Wait what do you mean solo, like keep party members dead except for one? That seems daunting. And isn't it next to impossible in Xenosaga 2?

yes keep everyone dead except 1 and fight with just the one character
its not impossible in episode 2. just incredibly tedious and unfun
and yes xenosaga is my favorite game

EPR-radar posted...

Out of curiosity, how are you playing the games? On a PS2 or on an emulator?

If course on a ps2
Of course emulation talk is not allowed in gamefaqs so if I was on an emulator I wouldn't admit it

shame that BOF2 is completely outclassed by the secret party member

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAFXmzC3LuA

my least favorite nina from both a gameplay and story perspective
BOF2 is my favorite nina

well its not like anyone is so bad they make the game actively harder if you use them like nina in breath of fire 3
everyone is still rather solid overall through the trilogy

I didn't really utilize Gambits, but I didn't hate the combat either. My problem was with the License Board making everyone too samey and boring, side content consisting only of hunts, and a lack of story (despite well-written dialogue).

then you might appreciate zodiac age as they reworked the license board
now there are 12 jobs you can pick for your six characters and they have to use the job specific license board which limits what they get
like if you pick a white mage your character with that job isnt going to be using warrior equipment and fighting

Ziggy is awesome so it shouldnt be a problem imo. Heck all the characters are awesome in those games that I remember.

as a character ziggy is awesome and yeah it has a overall great cast
not a weak link among them
but gameplay wise the tier list is all over the place

ziggy is the worst party member in battle in episode 1
in episode 2 he is a bottom 3 party member but better than shion and chaos in that game
and he is a top 3 party member in episode 3

It's OK
I like the combat system
But it's story is such a disappointment
On paper it has an amazing plot. But it wasn't executed very well so it's story ended up being one of its weakest aspects so it feels like wasted potential
And it doesn't help that with a core cast of 6 characters three of them are pointless
You could remove vaan, penelo and Fran from the game all together and very little would need to be changed to make the story still work
Basically would need to give the others a different reasons to go through the mines and find an alternative way through the forest and that's it

I've already successfully soloed the trilogy twice
Once with shion and once with KOSMOS
I am now attempting a ziggy solo run and am on episode 2 with him now

i made both my accounts pretty close together and there is a 6000 karma point difference between them
