That's a solid write-up, thanks. I've got this well-documented weakness for having to slay all the super-bosses in every FF game but it doesn't really extend outside of that series luckily. Glad I read this because Bravely Second was the one I was most likely to skip, assumed it was some kind...

I'm blasting this game pretty hard today. Yeah, weight is a huge problem compared to other Souls games. I'm constantly hovering at like 58-61% weight and having to drop points in Capacity to bring it back below 60. Never had to focus so much on increasing weight limit in any Souls games. Did...

She looks a lot like my first long-term GF. No tits, nice legs, super generic Normal Nice White Girl overall presentation. Swift has much worse hair though. My GF had decent (if not long enough) hair, while Taylor here is rocking something that I really hope doesn't suddenly become "in style"...

Going to the "Bravely Default" half of the thread title... some time next year I'm gonna try to make some room for the three of those (Since I have a hacked 3DS now with the first two prominently featured on it, I may as well). They're all portable which is super useful for me and means I'd get...

Cyan's L1 attack usually makes his regular attack obsolete for most of the game. It's instant and it does way more damage. There might be exceptions like if he has a Genji Glove or you're using the Tempest sword against a bunch of foes. Obviously later on with the Offering (or whatever it's...

Damn, kind of unfortunate this got nerfed. From what it sounded like the only thing that really needed to be nerfed was probably that one knight lady boss that kills everyone like 10 times, has some nearly un-dodgeable attacks, and isn't optional. Everyone complains about that one. Well I'm...

Emerald-Dropping AOW and $1600 SoDs: The Mischief Velious Story

The original Icewind Dale / Baldur's Gate are SORT OF like this. You could control one character or you could control a full group of six. I'd love to play EQ with a similar interface. Done 3-boxing a lot, but might try a full box group in the next server (after a while, maybe like Luclin+)...

Aw damn! Seconding that this book is awesome reading. It makes every class, race, and town look interesting and appealing, pretty much.

Aerith would be the one who'd tilt her head and lean into it.

That might have been ideal if Brad were still around. Acquire Pantheon and properly fund it, while also integrating the IP into it and allowing Brad to really re-create EQ in a modern game.

It's a shame too because EQ1 had more of an audience and more cultural relevance than any of their other stuff.

Ya know, it's entirely possible that some time soon AI is gonna be able to generate so much stuff that actual developers are going to have to do significantly less work. I'd say by 2028 anything is possible. The problem is that AI can't generate creativity or heart/soul, and original EQ had a...

On PS4/5, FF7 HD, FF8 Remastered, FF9 HD, FFX+X2, and FF12 The Zodiac Age are all really worthy remasters (with platinum trophies) if one wants to keep the FF train going for six more games after finishing the PR series. I definitely recommend all of them. I've tooled around with all of them for...

Sounds like there really isn't much to it after story mode is done. That's unfortunate cause it starts out really well. Doesn't bother me personally, I'm playing story mode and then probably selling it to recoup like 80% of the money, as I usually do with new releases I don't intend to replay...

Can ya'll stop shitting up the thread? Nobody gives a fuck about FFXIV, D4, or whatever the fuck you guys are going back and forth about. Stop it. Get some help.

Finished AC6, playing MK1 now. Extremely impressive game. After this: Resident Evil 4 remake, then Lies of P, Front Mission 2, finish off Uncharted 4, Castlevania SOTN for Halloween, Planescape: Torment, and Sekiro. That's the plan for the rest of the year, we'll see how it goes.

Almost as if it's planned to keep the population angry at each other and not someone else. Almost as if it's planned to keep the population angry at each other and not someone else. Almost as if it's planned to keep the population angry at each other and not someone else. It's funny, cause...

Probably the same reason Twitter was "profitable" pre-Elon before suddenly "losing $4 million a week" once he took over the books. No longer being underwritten by the CIA makes a big difference

Yeah but MK9 did the same thing. Just feels weird to call it MK1 and have it not be a remake of the first game. So this is basically a reimagining of MK5/6/maybe a little of 7? That's kind of cool. It's the era of MK that I totally missed (along with everyone else it seems).

Yeah that's the ridiculous OPness of FF6 characters and why it'd be hard to give the game a true uberboss. FF6A took a good enough stab at the concept with Kaiser Dragon, while some Romhacks of the SNES version have made their own Kaiser (or Czar) Dragon and gone beyond what FF6A did. Still it...

I'm moving out to Cambodia and fighting in the tar pits to strengthen my fortitude.

Server-first Emp on Vaniki server, I took a bunch of DTs taunting him off the warriors. In-between, though, I wasn't really able to do much. HT doesn't refresh on death. I don't remember what I did, but I think it was meager DPS until the next DT. Had I been a Paladin I could have been dropping...

This is weird. ...I'm kinda getting Taylor Swift FOMO.

Am I correct in thinking that warriors have zero way to get snap aggro in Classic? Paladin and SK can yoink mobs off of an enchanter in a hurry. Paladin can also drop heals on said enchanter. Paladin's probably the best enchanter backup as far as tank classes go. Warrior though, I see Warrior...

You down for EQ3 static group big dog?

I don't know much of anything about Taylor Swift either. Not sure why this is a controversial thing to say. I'm certain I've heard her many times on the radio, in stores, etc and not known it, or maybe had an inkling but not known for sure. Can't really tell her apart from any other modern...

Was there any legitimate story reason why this wasn't just called MK12? Every snippet of it that I see online looks nothing at all like the original MK in visuals or plot. Calling it MK1 means now whenever I'm talking about the old games (they come up a lot) I can't say "MK1" because that might...

Pretty much only really useful for Planes gear farming, like a Necro or Druid bind-rushing the mobs that drop their equipment in their off time. Bringing a single group to Fear at 50 is a pain, going there and death-rushing your way to some armor is very time-efficient compared to trying to...

A couple bosses in, still rocking with the starter dexterity epee type sword. Only a few deaths. Haven't had to stop and grind levels to get over any particular humps, it's been straightforward. Beat the first major boss in one try and I can't remember that ever happening in a Soulsborne game...

Should probably just merge this into the RE4 thread... then again very little RE is being discussed there at the moment either

Yeah it isn't like there's a whole lot that you need to death rush to win. A Sleeper kill will be significantly more doable if anyone ever wants to try that again, I guess. Anyone remember offhand if the Sleeper kill was in-era for Velious? I remember it being in 2003 or 2004 but it was Zek and...

I'm guessing he's referring to how the Challenger Perk makes it impossible to de-level for $2.99 a month. So 0% rezzes are suddenly awesome, as they cast faster than cleric rez sticks.

Last time I saw Terrence Howard do anything, he was being interviewed on some red carpet, looked high out of his mind, and talking like he was Jesus or something. All like "Why would I walk on water for tips, when I can change the world" Then I never saw him again

Disappointing to hear all of this. Judging from the plot synopsis this movie should have been full-on my jam (The Thing and Alien are both top-5 movies ever for me). Sounds like he drains the power of his victims like Cell in DBZ. Interesting idea for a modern movie, and the boat setting gives...

Whoa, so they control how much you can level to keep people from overleveling? Sounds like it's more like they just added a tedious aspect to it that doesn't actually stop overleveling. Haven't seen any blue lady but I think the hotel might be the next area.

Good points here. I'd say SKs are still important during trash clears or grabbing up adds and so forth..if they're good at all. I've been on plenty of raids where I was one of like 8 SKs on the raid and only me and 1-2 others were actively running around yoinking trash on incoming so it didn't...

I've found myself parrying (or trying to) way more than I've been dodging. I think they heavily de-emphasized dodging in this by making it kinda suck, low iframes. Coming off of Wo Long where parrying is the way to go, I'm pretty into parries now where I wasn't before. Wo Long (and maybe this)...

I think you've got it confused with rogue. Paladins get to be ramp tanks, which is admittedly about as unfun as SK raid kiting, but everyone needs a tank. I'd wager that in classic paladin probably does have the most shortcomings of the hybrids. They hit their stride in Luclin (like a bunch of...
