The speedrun community has kinda gotten taken over by wokeism, or at least has the illusion that it has, like a lot of other gaming communities. It's whatever. Things being more inclusive is fine with me, it's only when they start rejecting diversity of thought that they become a problem. And...

I hate when areas become inaccessible late in a game, especially when they have something missable that's needed for a plat. Probably the only peeve I have with this game. Also the missable talisman slot. Hell, missable things in general. This game reminds me a lot of Secret of Mana later on...

Oh good. Yeah I'll probably only use the save scum thing right before Phreke. Any permanent upgrades I should be looking out for? I've got the red sword and the air dash and some other stuff, like a missile addition to pistol shots.

I'll give it a quick plow over the weekend if I'm not doing anything else. FF is probably my favorite series and I've played almost everything in it (except 11, 14, and Crystal Chronicles). I enjoyed the hell out of Lightning Returns and it felt like a similarly "unnecessary" side-quel during a...

Looks like there's a suspend feature now. Which likely means you can back up your save outside a boss room and reload it if you lose, a bit of a game changer that should make this way easier. Now I just need to actually get to the boss in good shape and with the right powerups. I got to Phrike...

Yeah, Miquella is around, and probably won't be a kid anymore when you fight him. So the main question is whether there'll be one DLC or two. I guess we'll find out for sure if DLC1 contains both Miquella and Marika, because there's nowhere else to go from there I think.

Grats on forum first plat, AFAIK. This is a particularly fun plat because it's mostly bosses. Only thing I'm really missing is that I totally whiffed on doing the sidequest that has Lichdragon and the third ending.

Yeah, Radahn is the fight that almost made me take a break from the game. I took a day specifically to just play ER (I think it was the first full day I took just to play it, too) and planned to make all kinds of progress, then spent 3-4 hours just dying to Radahn over and over again. Towards...

I upgraded the Rykard sword to +9, can't wait to see how much damage it does to that particular boss in NG+. I'd try it in this game but I doubt anyone is gonna summon me at level 195 or whatever I am now.

So for the DLCs we've got Miquella and Marika? Maybe each one is the final boss of a DLC if they're doing two. TBH I'd rather just get one super-good one like Souls 1 and Bloodborne did. But yeah I hope we fight Marika at the end, after seeing statues of her all game. Also hope Miquella is just...

Trying to decide if I want to play Sekiro or Returnal next. Both of them are games I gave up on early because of their difficulty, but after Elden Ring I feel like I can beat down any game if it's worthwhile. Then again I never played Breath of the Wild or Ghost of Tsushima any appreciable...

Think I'm gonna give this another shot, since I'm coming off of Elden Ring and feel like I can take on any challenge that requires persistence like this does. From everything I've read it gets easier as it goes on. I'd like to at least clear it once. Gonna try to get some of the powerups @Dandai...

Yeah, the Tree Sentinel is like Vile at the beginning of Mega Man X, or Gades in Lufia to get obscure. You're not supposed to beat him at the beginning. I beat him about 4 hours into the game myself, after I downed a couple other bosses. The world map also lets you put down icons/markers, so you...

What's a good place to farm rats for Rune Arcs? The capitol sewers springs to mind but I despise that place. I'm basically out of Rune Arcs though, wouldn't mind having a bunch more. It's funny how I'm basically playing this like an MMO now. Like I reached endgame and beat it, now I'm playing...

Finished Dynasty Warriors 8, went through the story modes of all four kingdoms (yeah there's a fourth now). There's no trophy for doing any of this, weirdly enough, all the trophies are for like Free Mode and random shit. Here I've got all of the stages unlocked in Free Mode, which shows I...

Personally I'd say either Dragon Warrior 3 or 4 is my favorite NES game but I'd put SMB3 right behind them. Final Fantasy 1 and Destiny of an Emperor probably round out the top five. If non-US Famicom games that I didn't play until way later count, FF3 and DOAE2 were both pretty solid and would...

How do you attack with both weapons at once like he's doing? I've tried dual-wielding and it seems like you can only hit with one, then the other, not both at once. I've seen people with two Ultra Greatswords in Souls 2 swinging both at once and I never knew how that worked either. Course I also...

Yeah. @Hatorade was the first on here I think. I also beat it, and a couple other people. Enough time has gone by that I could have platinum'd it / beaten it a second time as well but I decided RL was semi-important and had to draw a line somewhere. Now I just play it in small doses, maybe a...

You can disable invasions by disconnecting from the internet, but I don't recommend it, being able to summon people outweighs getting invaded. I think you can only get invaded when you have the item activated that enables summons, or at least that's the only time I've seen it happen. If you end...

Revised my stats a bit since I'm almost level 200 now from doing everything. Goal is level 255. 60 Vigor, 40 Mind, 30 End, 80 Int, 16 Str, Dex as high as it'll go. 16 Str so that I can still use the Brass Shield even if I unequip the Soreseal for whatever reason. 3 talisman slots is killin' me...

That's what drove me nuts about the Radahn fight. Like it could have been an awesome battle, but after a while it was so frustrating that I just ran around spamclicking the NPC summons until the fight ended. Every time I'd try to get in there and mix it up with him, I'd get one-shotted as soon...

Anyone else notice how like all of the major bosses in this game have names that start with R, M, or G? It's like how James Cameron's movies all seem to start with either T or A

I've got five memory slots for spells, how many SHOULD I have in endgame? I didn't even pay attention to the Memory Stones available for sale because I assumed they were temporary consumables due to their weirdly low costs. So I basically missed most of them, have 3 now. Probably wouldn't be too...

Looks like 2. Ya know, I think the problem is I didn't get the second one, rather than Godfrey glitching out. I'll just make sure I talk to her in NG+ after activating two great runes but before fighting Godfrey. 1st: Dropped by Margit, the Fell Omen upon defeat. Location: Stormhill [Map...

Sounds good to me. For caster respec I'm going with 50 Vigor, 30 Mind, 30 End, 80 Int, 16 Str, 40 Dex, any future levels are going to Dex because Moonveil gets a ton of attack power out of it. Actually have more attack power with that spec and Moonveil than I do with a dex spec and Malenia...

Hopefully when I beat Margit in NG+ it adds a fourth slot, but I have a feeling it won't until I get back to where the actual fourth slot is supposed to happen.

Yeah, I activated all six of them ages ago. Talked to everybody in the table zone a few times over during the game. Only NPCs there now are the various merchants and the finger-reader remembrance NPC.

I only have 3 talisman slots, not 4...didn't even know there WAS a 4th slot. I'm post-final boss in NG and I've done everything. I looked it up and I should have gotten the 4th slot a while ago. Is there some specific way to "trigger" it after defeating Golden Godfrey? I read something about...

84% trophies, finally taking a break from the game. Looked at what I have left for the platinum, and it's -One legendary weapon (the missable one) -Two legendary spells -Lichdragon fight -Third ending Should be easily doable in NG+. I actually think the platinums in the other Soulsborne games...

Yeah, I tried to play the new demo and got the same message. I'll just wait for the 18th. Probably playing this day one, or at least night one. Not taking the day off like I did for Elden Ring, but I'm interested to see how this is regardless. I dunno know I feel about all the real-world shit...

Hardy Boys theme is a public domain track. Which begs the question of why TNA and ROH never used it during their runs in those places. In other news... Jade should do Mortal Kombat 3 Jade cosplay like, all the time.

I wasn't sure what to play next after Elden Ring, because it makes all other modern games look obsolete. It's like when one of my past GFs told me we shouldn't have a 3-way with her hot friend because it'd "ruin regular sex" for me. Well that's what Elden Ring does, it ruins regular games...

Thanks for the input. I take it high Mind isn't particularly crucial for a caster, if you've got a bunch of mana potions on hand? I use Mimic over Tiche and it can be cast with any level of Mind due to the HP cost. I'll definitely want some mana so I can cast kamehameha comet at range, etc. I...

Yeah, a lot of weapons just can't be enchanted because they already have some other type on them. Like Malenia, the one drawback to that weapon is that it can't be enchanted. I hope Moonveil can be enchanted. Bloodhound's Step is really good. If you played Cuphead, it's like the...

Are there any spells/weapons/talismans/etc that you need to do multiplayer to get? Cause I'm going for the plat but I don't want to start NG+ and have multiplayer die a death unless there's nothing I need from it. Taking all my willpower to not play through this a second time immediately. I...

I haven't actually used any of the sploit/farms beyond a minute or two of trying them out, but I don't mind their existence. Sometimes you need a few more levels. I know there are people who will vastly overlevel and gimp the game for themselves, but I guess they aren't my problem. Gotta say...

I feel like farming the enemies on the hill right there is more efficient than sniping that bird guy, but you do need to have the right build for it wheras sniping the bird only requires a bow and arrows. Icerind Hatchet's L2 makes short work of the enemies on the hill, as does the sword you...

You can get all 3 endings in one game if you back up your save. The endings are all decided right after the final boss, from what I can tell, so you can exit out of the game and back up your save at that point to try different things in the final room and get different endings. I was able to get...

The clouds on the overworld map DO seem kind of strategically-placed. I bet those are there in case they want to add areas later. They can get rid of a cloud and put an island there easily enough, without being forced to only use areas that exist on the current map. This cloud in the center sea...

Yeah, I was thinking earlier about how Elden Ring falls directly into that same category as Everquest and Morrowind in terms of having a whole world to explore that feels alive and interesting. It's SO RARE in gaming to have that experience. The turn of the century was the last time games like...
