I always seem to get introspective whenever i finish up a convention. Nothing really major this time; I was just thinking about how the course of my life changed back in 2008 when I was sitting at a library reading manga, and a guy named David approached me and introduced my to a local anime club he ran. I started being more social with anime/games, I was opened to the idea of actually going to a convention (although it was a few years later that I finally did go), and David taught me to be more proactive with my interests. If it wasn't for that day I wouldn't be going to any conventions at all, let alone working for them. I once said I'd like to do this as a career, but I've learned that that's not really practical unless you're very high up on the chain; most of the people I was working with/for at the con still had day jobs. Still, I love being involved in this stuff even if it's unpaid, and don't see myself stopping unless the opportunities around me simply dry up. --- Official King of PotD You only need one T-Rex to make the point, though. ~ Samus Sedai ...

So the ending of chapter 5/beginning of 6 in Xenoblade 3 is quite possibly one of the best story moments in the entire series. I genuinely lost sleep because I went to bed after the chapter end save and didn't find out what happened in chapter 6 until the next day and that was such a massive cliffhanger. I think there's a lot of room to criticize the story pacing because so many of these cutscene sequences are so long, to the point where I'm not sure this should even be a video game story instead of an anime or whatever series of its own, but holy shit that was an amazing "episode." That's all. YoukaiSlayer posted... skells isn't a word at all. It's just truncated from "exoskeleton," which I felt fit pretty well in context (that is, military engineers saying "we just developed this exoskeleton and we need a one-syllable colloquial name but we're engineers so we're just going to pull a syllable from the word 'exoskeleton' instead of being really creative" and a bunch of soldiers saying "hey that sounds cool" and that being the end of it). "Dolls" would also have worked, but that's got enough of a juvenile/feminine connotation in the west that it would have felt kind of weird and out of place in the context of a serious sci-fi military, so I can understand changing it even though it was contextually appropriate. --- This is my signature.

In xenoblade 3 I got to chapter 5 and can finally explore the new area and damn it feels like everything opened up. I was kind of disappointed with the locations up to this point but this makes me very excited to explore. Already found a cave with level 100 enemies and got a relic in there for 40% healing bonus. Also managed to take some of the smaller groups and got up to level 87. Hard is pretty dang hard when I'm close to the enemies level. I cleaned up some of the level 80ish unique monsters but they took some attempts. Ultimately playing as an incursor and having the rest of the party with 3 tanks (2 with memory lockets) and 3 healers was the solution to both. Godlike crastor obliterated my team when it was squishy but wore my team down when I didn't have enough damage to take him down relatively quickly. What a great game. Although I remember I left a level 80 UM at some point when I was level 65ish but I forgot where it was. I think it's somewhere in the desert region. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) ...

dragon504 posted... In chapter 7 of Xeno 2 and over 100 hours on my save file. I'm definitely finding this world more enjoyable than the first Xeno and looking forward to the third as well, though I don't have it yet. Chapter 7 is around when it starts actually getting good because the story isn't just "rawr give us ur girlfriend" "oh no please don't take my girlfriend." 2's core plot is pretty straightforward and unremarkable, but there are a lot of interesting revelations that come in the form of character development and world-building (especially around the villains; most of the party characters are just kind of there, including Rex) that make the whole thing really enjoyable, and most of those start rolling in during and after chapter 7. It's kind of unfortunate how back-loaded the exposition is, because it means the first ~75-80% of the game is pretty forgettable (chapter 7 is quite long, but 8-9-10 come very quickly), but overall it is quite good. It's also a little awkward because a ton of side quests (including quite a few blade quests) open up during those later chapters, but it's horribly inconsistent with the story to go do them instead of progressing, but that's not really anything unusual for JRPG's. Have you bought the DLC yet? I strongly recommend it just for Torna, which is not without its faults, but I absolutely loved because it added to much to that character- and world-building. Challenge Mode is also great because it gives you an actual incentive to try to make the combat system work in your favour, given that the base game is easy enough that you can generally just faceroll everything but the hardest superbosses. Revelation34 posted... Playing 1 right now. Was fighting a quest monster and a fucking level 80+ monster popped out of nowhere when I was about to beat the other one. Sounds about right. Pretty much all of them have some exceptionally powerful enemies roaming around lower-level areas. They can be a little annoying, but you learn to avoid them pretty quickly, and coming back later to punch Rotbart in the dick is immensely satisfying (especially with a party that's like level 60, just to rub it in). YoukaiSlayer posted... In xenoblade 3 I got to chapter 5 and can finally explore the new area and damn it feels like everything opened up. I was kind of disappointed with the locations up to this point but this makes me very excited to explore. You're 87 in chapter 5? I only just hit 60 in early chapter 7. Clearly you're taking a much less direct route than I did, though I've made a point of not doing too many sidequests so as to avoid overlevelling and tanking CP gains. I hope you've at least got Soul Hack available to take advantage of all the UM's you've been killing, though at least there's the option of fast travelling to tombstones if you want to take down one you've already done. --- This is my signature.

I always do all possible optional stuff before proceeding. If I'm going to be overleveled for any part of the game, I'd prefer it be the story even though it creates dissonance when I obliterate some moebeus in the gameplay in 20 seconds and then my party is getting it's ass kicked in the cutscene. I also do not have soulhacker yet. I've got every job on the class screen before soul hacker. I figure with the tombstones though it won't be a huge deal. Currently learning signifier and monicas class on everyone as well as leveling medic gunner to 20 on everyone since I finally got that side story. Although I see lanz side story is available according to the hero roster. I expect all this grinding to put me close to 99. I'm not sure if I wanna use bonus xp or not. I have enough for like 4 levels but I kind of feel it might be more satisfying grinding it out manually since it doesn't take long with overkill on elite enemies. Same with cp. You can learn and master a new class in like 5-10 minutes with an on level elite enemy overkill. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Haven't bought the game yet, but I've been made aware of how easy it is to overlevel and how being overleveled makes you stop earning class points. So now, I'm holding out hope that Xeno 3 will add a level down option for the regular game in a patch or something. Or at the very least an option to disable exp while still gaining cp. I'm the type to do every sidequest when it becomes available so I definitely ran into overleveling problems for all 3 of the past xenoblade games. Expert mode was a godsend for 1-remake and the difficulty sliders were a good addition for 2. If they added something like that for 3, I might go ahead and get it then. --- "Splashing water on a pervert is like putting lasers on a shark" - Shiho Shishido ... Copied to Clipboard!

At worst you warp to a grinding spot and max out the new class in like 15 minutes. Way faster if you don't mind dropping the difficulty to easy for the grinding (which I do mind, will never drop it from hard). Also you unlock leveling down in post game.

Fair. Even at-level, I've had quite a few boss fights where I've successfully killed the boss with a chain attack, but then the cutscene has shown me losing to them, so I suspect some of the scripted boss fight triggers may not be overriding chain attacks the way they should. YoukaiSlayer posted... This is so much less of an issue than people make it out to be. At worst you warp to a grinding spot and max out the new class in like 15 minutes. Way faster if you don't mind dropping the difficulty to easy for the grinding (which I do mind, will never drop it from hard). Indeed. It means you actually have to deliberately grind classes, instead of getting a steady rotation of new playstyles organically as you play through the story (which I've been quite enjoying), but there's never really a shortage of at-level enemies if you go looking for them and grinding to 10 doesn't take all that long (and goes faster when enemy levels are higher anyway). Being able to de-level would be nice, but the issue is largely overstated. That said, from what I've heard, the best CP grinding method becomes available at/near endgame, with regular enemies that give 4-500 CP each and can be burst down in seconds with the right setup, which is much faster than charging up and sitting through chain attacks. Given that getting classes to 20 is mostly a matter of increasing power and not so much a matter of trying out new gameplay (outside of a couple strategies that rely on other classes' talent arts, like putting the Troubadour one on Mio as a Signifer to enable a trick that makes the whole party invincible), that's really not bad. --- This is my signature.

Watched season 1 and almost caught up on season 2 of classroom of the elite. I like it a lot more than I expected to. From the premise I expected something like prison school without the ecchi or humor but it's actually far lower stakes than that. The worst that can really happen is you have to eat bland lunches and you can't buy more tv's and video games. Well, I guess the worst that happens is you get expelled but that's not really unreasonable at a fancy private school if you do poorly. The first season was kind of just ok until the island arc which was pretty decent and then the last like 10 seconds of the first season was kind of a crazy thing to just drop and then not get back to for 4-5 years. Season 2, due to the thing at the end of season 1, has been quite a bit better. I also gotta praise the main character. I really can't think of another similar protagonist. He's so passive. So many times you'd think the main character would step in and do the right thing, but he's fine just watching and letting whatever happen. It's a level of patience mixed with apathy that I don't think I've seen. The closest I can think of is the main guy from hyouka but that's still not that close. Additionally, koenji is based. He's basically the sigma male meme. Oh and the ending theme is really good. i listen to it every time. OP is solid as well but not enough to listen to the whole thing each time. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most name changes I've noticed are pretty minor things that at least somewhat still resemble the original name and don't sound too bad. Stuff like Isurugi -> Isurd is whatever. I do think Yuzuriha -> Juniper just sounds like a worse name, though. And whatever symbolism retention they were going for with Mashiro -> Fiona was just kinda executed poorly, especially considering half of her friends have straight up Japanese names But Rudy to Valdi is super wat --- http://i.imgur.com/LabbRyN.jpg raytan and Kana are on opposite ends of the Awesome Spectrum. ...
