    The RPG Thread

    I'm hoping it eventually gets ported to something I can sit back and play on a TV. I was playing it until maybe a couple weeks ago and enjoying it well enough, but there's something about jrpg's that seem forbidding when I can't play 'em on my couch or in my bed.

    Brave Frontier

    Rofl, rng is a cruel bitch. First summon: Charla. Second summon: Charla. Third summon: Charla. Wanted a Rize and Drevas, but I quit while I was ahead. No Animas, of course, although there was a guardian. Three in a row is a fucking obnoxious result after trying to summon her for months...

    Grats man. Probably gonna pull the trigger later today because I also need Charla and don't have any of the rateup units except Ivris.

    Yeah I was surprised, but a 2/2 bomb with taunt is pretty annoying if you don't have anything in your hand on turn two that'll give you any more than two 1/1's, which might have been what happened.

    Had somebody concede on turn 2: T1: Coin + Boom + Argus.

    Brave Frontier

    Confirmed you have nothing to worry about. Haile/Avani (not Avant) first squad, SBB filled up all the way by autoattacking first round. Autoed it, reviving from nuke as I went, and got him to somewhere around 40% before he used Endless and wiped my squad out. Overdrived Chrome from second squad...

    I did it with Deimos lead and he trivialized some turns and fucked me over on others. Keep in mind Afla ignore defense and removes buffs with the single target attack that willalwayshit Deimos, whocannotguard because you're bringing him for the taunt, which lastsoneturn and requires bb/sbb...

    Alright, she's up. Ao, you'll be able to curbstomp Afla. Xie Jing is still pretty hard, though.

    Did some summons today hoping for Charla but she continues to elude me. Got a pile of shit + Avani. He seems really good, but doesn't seem to be (in 100% of situations) a Chrome upgrade, so I'm ambivalent. Still...hoooooly fuck Avani as an arena lead. 80% atk is good enough, the extra crit...

    Witcher 3

    They're two entirely different games. If you're more into an open-world, narrative-driven experience, go for the Witcher. If you're more interested in tight combat, genuine challenge and first-class level design, go with Bloodborne. I couldn't make it through the Witcher, but I'm not a big...

    Gained drunkenness and miraculously lost laziness and beat Imperial Ambition. Beat it on first try on account of slacking + power creep, but it was pretty close. In the end, all of first squad and everyone in the second except Chrome, Krantz, Haile and Hadaron got wiped out. Somehow those four...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    The NX is the new handheld, right? If so, I really do hope they put some effort into the tech. The $40 Moto E I was forced to use for a few months before I upgraded could play games that looked far, far better than anything my 3DS puts out. And that's $40 without contract.

    I still love Balgran, but I might start using Semira. Shame she doesn't injure, though. Never got a Kafka

    Did a 3-gem yesterday and today (yes, it appears to reset to 3 gems each day). Got Tree and Reud. Liking the 43 hit SBB but beyond that I'm not sure what to do with the guy.

    Hmm if so, I didn't do it intentionally. Will check next time I play. Didn't know there was a difficulty setting.

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    Just restarted this. Something of a veteran, but can't find my account and since my luck was fucking awful I just said fuck it and started over. Beginner and Intermediate packs were good to me. Got: wind: Horus, Samurai, Lushen, Rak Water: Sylph Fire: Samurai, Sylph, Joker, Sky...

    Started Trails in the Sky and having some trouble getting into it. It's as slow as claimed, but what's odd is that I'm getting my ass kicked. I'm in the first area after the sewers that has battles and everything two-shots me. I don't have enough gold (or whatever) for more gear because there...

    Gave up on Xiii-2. Never thought I'd concede to Noodlebro's argument that XIII is a better game. Since half of my issues are technical issues - issues I've posted about at length - I suspect I'd have liked it a lot more on PC. A few things not fixable by better hardware and without mod...

    Wow, thanks Ishbro. Got rewarded for their incompentence - put in a new request for Dolk, got him immediately, and with a summon ticket as an apology to boot. Can't believe how well my failure to change my unit from Krantz worked out.

    Bloodborne

    Levels mean significantly more in BB than in Dark Souls. Get hit by something, then level 3 times and get hit by the same thing. You get a passive boost to defense each sLevel and it's definitely noticeable.

    What did you just read?

    For good writing, you can't go wrong with Jack Vance. I've suggested his Dying Earth series here before but I'm not sure if anybody actually read it. It's older, but considered an SFF masterwork. On the level of prose, I don't really know of any recent fantasy series that offers anything...

    Net change in inventory space should be zero for unique raid spheres. You're adding a sphere and subtracting a unique raid item you only get one of.

    Brave Frontier

    Still haven't gotten mine. Not that I care - picked Krantz because I was fucking desperate for a 7 star mitigator that attacked. Then I pulled Krantz, evolved Shera to 7 star, got Gazia and pulled both an Aaron and Adel summoning for Zeru. Still prefer Krantz - man that guy's badass.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    13-2 is good, but I hope the PC version fared better than console. As I mentioned in the RPG thread, somehow the couple-year interval between XIII and its first sequel allowed for negative progress on its engine. Significantly worse graphics - terrible framerate, aliasing where none existed in...

    Still haven't gotten mine either. Also did a few summons and got trash.

    That's how I approached it as well. The story is boring and the dialogue is awful, but it's a damn fun game. Got about 100 hours out of it before progression became too painful. Wish I could have found the Disgaea D2 lobby music because it's one of the only (maybe the only) tracks in the...

    Yeah what Pyros said. SMTIV Final is a completely new game and a sequel to a game I adored. I loved the monster conversations in the first one. It also had some amazing muic.

    Some are meh, one is no, and a few I've never heard of. And yet... a new Fire Emblem, a new Final Fantasy, a new Star Ocean, a new Persona, a new sequel to a Shin Megami, a new Dark Souls. We go years without new entries from ANY of those series releasing, excepting Dark Souls. We get all...

    Looks stellar. The only definite nonpurchase there for me is Bravely Second. Tried and tried and tried (very recently) to get into the first and was rewarded by being bored shitless. A handful of those games I'm not familiar with, though.

    I am looking forward to the game, but definitely gonna play the two Steam games first. Snagged the Collector's Edition too - figure a limited edition of a critically lauded niche game launched well past the prime of its platform might be worth something sometime.
