Yeah, it's projection. Had the radio on briefly in the car earlier and there was some woman talking about "extremism" and what a huge problem it's become the last few years with young people being radicalized. ....then she started going on and on about some guy I've never heard of who...

If this is really a thing that lets you have multiple classes on the same character, that might actually get me back playing live. My zerker on Phinny would be way better off as an SK but I wasn't gonna do a main change. Wondering how equipment is gonna be handled though. If everything you have...

After all the "Laxasia took 50 tries" talk online I expected a Malenia level threat. Well, this was my first try, she had less than one hit left. I was so pissed. Got her a few tries later. Endgame stats. Technique soft-capped at 38, Vitality would have soft-capped at 30. Some more Vigor would...

I've never wanted to be a surfboard more in my life

I'll make sure I do that. I think I'm close to the end. If I'm not mistaken I have two areas left and The last thing I did was the gank squad and it totally obliterated me. Was considering doing the platinum (which would take an entire second run to get all the boss weapons) but I gotta say...

Yeh, people not in the know would think the game ends with Gehrman. I hope BB doesn't actually go to an NG+ cycle after the Gehrman ending and you have a chance to go get the real final boss, but I don't remember. I noticed that while re-speccing and letting weight go to 79%. I was pumping...

Nobody should feel bad, I'm still trying to finish off my NES backlog.

Oh wait, now I remember what this is about. The Jonas guy and Sansa were a thing, didn't know they broke up. I remember because I saw a bunch of pictures of them when they got together, and two things jumped out at me: -She's taller than him -In EVERY picture, she'd be looking at him or...

Couple friends of mine are getting SoS. If it's really a Chrono Trigger homage I should really play it. I'll get to it eventually. I feel like a ton of what makes CT magical is A) The interesting setting, with the time travel and the general mood of it all, B) The incredible soundtrack that...

That's good to know. Cause yeah capacity is such a thorn in my side at this point. I'm at 62% right now so I'll finish getting it back to 59% (now that I have all the amulets I want), but next time I respec I might switch a lot of capacity over to HP or technique and leave it at 79% instead...

To be fair, WoW gameplay in leveling PVE basically consists of hammering 1-3 number keys over and over until you win. For the entire level-up process. I remember being desperate to make the game some kind of challenge circa WOTLK, where my Mage was tanking 2-3 mobs at once with little danger...

I don't know that one, what's the story?

This "revenge outfit" stuff is apparently a thing. That first GF I mentioned who had a similar "teenage boy physique" to TS, incidentally, showed up at an event she knew I'd be at after we broke up and wore the sexiest outfit I ever saw her wear in the years I knew her. She made sure to go see...

I mean it's pretty appropriate considering how many of Biden's followers are radicalized arsonists

Having to do so much Capacity leveling. 2 of my 3 amulets are special amulets (extra heal charges, infinite dodge rolls) and that would put me into Heavy status if I weren't pumping Capacity. By the time I get consistently under 60% I'll probably have a third special amulet equipped (looking for...

FF12's system really needs to be used again, it was interesting and deep. FF13's system got a couple of games already and I'm okay with that one not returning, but I also think it was underrated. I'd be happy if FF17 used the FF12 gambit system again but it probably won't. They seem all-in on...

Yeah I'm also leaning "fuck the cube". Didn't do any farming so far. Andreus was a bitch and a half compared to previous bosses. First one with a second form, and it seemed like I was a split second too late parrying literally everything he did. Eked out a win with like 10% health left and no...

I'm okay with that setup. FF5 is probably my favorite FF from a straight gameplay perspective. Just give me classes and good battles and I'm all set.

Anyone know roughly how far along this is? Level 50 could pretty much mean anything in one of these games. I think I was like level 175 or something at the end of ER. I'm in the place that looks like Hemwick Charnel Lane, after leaving the chapel area. Noticed the game does that thing...

I just beat Andreus, the giant freakish Gaping Dragon type thing. Trying to decide if I want the Trident or the heal amulet. Both look REALLY good. Trident is the best weapon according to some. Think I'll just stick with the axe until I get the Two Dragon Sword though. Hopefully that isn't much...

These SNES RPGs (FF4, FF6, Chrono Trigger, probably others) are short relative to modern games. 8 hours is short. I could probably beat CT in sub-10 too and I haven't played it since like 2003. They're shorter than people remember them being. That's it.

Yeah, I'll never get why people shit on FF13's battle system so much. Dump on the incomprehensible story and The Hallway all you want, for sure. The battle system was the good part! It was sort of like FF12's gambit system, just streamlined and simplified. Were people trying to choose individual...

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.
