    This one was pretty hype, the narrator and the theme playing for the first time.

    You also can't necessarily figure out weaknesses quickly. Early on, since you have like 2elements and guns, if the monster is meant to be hit by a weakness, it's easy to check which. Later when you have Fire/Ice/Lightning/Wind/Psy/Nuke/Gun/Curse/Bless to check for, it can take a while especially...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah it's a really terrible way to change it. I can already see the new player who was just before the quest before the patch, logs in, oh nice a dungeon, queues, first cutscene starts, nice that's cool, cutscene ends, 3/4 of the group left because they hadn't read the patch notes and don't want...

    JRPGs

    Since they take place in the same time period I'd assume you could play either series first, but chronologically, Trails in the Sky was first so if there's any link between the 2(I haven't played much of it yet), then you'd want to start there. There's also the fact that Trails in the Sky is...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    With Destiny 2 shitting the bed they have a fair shot at selling a lot of boxes to disgruntled players though. On the other hand, since EA is probably hovering their shoulders, I expect this to be one of the great fuckeries in terms of microtransactions and what not. And it doesn't look...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    It had mixed reception, I've seen a lot of people say they hated it but also a lot of people say they liked it. I liked it a lot, more so than XIII(all of them), or XII. The combat is definitely pretty far from the usual FF, even XII or XIII still kept a fair amount of similar element but XV...

    Path of Exile

    Seems expensive for what it is. It was leaked a long time ago like back when map stash tab was leaked too though, so not really surprising though. Might become more useful as they add more stuff to it.

    So far I've only played the first Trails in the Sky since I bought it a while ago and it had been sitting in my backlog forever, I'm waiting for another 50% sale on second chapter(I sadly started playing the first like days after the last sale ended) and pickup the last chapter in a few months...

    Total War: Warhammer

    There's a few new features(naval autoresolve fights, can explore ruins but you never do cause it's a waste of time and not worth the reward and you can grab treasures in the sea that give tons of gold to help early game economy) and a better UI, but yeah it's mostly just 4 new factions for 40$...

    Hmm they kinda do? I mean Tales at least has been pretty consistent over the years, they still do FFs but lately they've been doing like sequels and shit so it lenghten the time between 2 actual titles(and with the 7 remake coming, don't expect XVI before 2022 if that, probably a PS5 title at...

    DOTA 2

    It seems they're DMCAing streams that have ads on/are streaming the ESL stream directly instead of the ingame client. Per Valve policy, you can only stream the ingame client and you can't have ads as whoever has the rights for the tournaments have the sole streaming and commercial rights to it...

    Path of Exile

    Yes it matters a lot, and yeah it works that way nowadays I believe, it was changed to work this way since it was shit before. I know for sure desecrates works with your summoned spectres though since when I leveled a necro in this league I used a random unlinked spectre gem for additional...

    Subnautica

    Yeah noticed this was releasing soon so checked some streams last week and it looked really nice I'll definitely pick it up later, but probably will spend next week playing total war, maybe after but then again I'm tempted to just wait for a sale and grab something else meanwhile or just finish...

    Overwatch

    Not sure what banning the credit card would do for Overwatch, you can just buy a physical box from amazon or wherever else with any sort of payment option. Can also buy battle.net gift cards to buy shit in the shop if you want. None of it involves using your card.

    JRPGs

    From what I've read Falcom just didn't have good contracts for international uses in their older games but with Ys 8 and supposedly Cold Steel 3 they made sure to have contracts that have international rights in them right away so they don't have to renegotiate them, and so supposedly even Xseed...

    JRPGs

    They did show an example, and it could be handpicked but it looked a lot better. And they redid all the voices. The fact they released the game as a rushed job and basically started working on a better translation right away is kind of dumb though. For the Cold Steel thing, most people who are...

    JRPGs

    They've been pretty shitty at porting stuff to other platform(PC mostly) or for large scale translation projects. They're decent on smaller/non story centric projects as long as they are just localizing, although they sometimes take a lot of liberties on the scripts which come to bite them in...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I mean I kinda get it but like when I switched servers with the free transfers to a server I knew no one on, I just opened the lodestone list, went for the FC with the most people which had max level and joined them, then filtered out FC chat(partly to prevent reading story spoilers since I...

    Also in other news, NISA shit the bed yet again for the PC port of Ys 8. Apparently, they noticed that porting the game to PC is actually not that easy, so they're delaying it '"indefinitely". For the story, they contracted another company to do the PC port originally, then 2days before release...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Yeah do have to own stuff. Some of the factions are free though, obviously the first 4 are if you own War1(Empire, Greenskins, Vampire Counts and Dwarfs) however they each have their own DLC that add new units and legendary lords(Grim and Grave for empire/vc, warlord and king for...

    I liked Xillia but Xillia 2 felt like a rip off, it was a decent game on its own but the fact it was like 80% recycled assets was pretty absurd, especially since it sold at full price. I liked the story/characters though and the combat was fairly nice. Haven't played Berseria yet, waiting for it...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You can filter out tells, works the same as an ignore all. Might as well join a random FC though, if only for the free TP and the FC buffs, there's no penalty on leaving a FC afaik.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Live letter going on, some details on various stuff: Housing, they'll add 6wards(from 12 to 18) with subwards for each as usual so a 50% overall increase. They're also locking individual buying houses for a little while(I'd expect a week) so FCs can buy them(might be specific for only large...

    Movie first, it tells the story right before the game starts and the game start is actually confusing as fuck if you don't watch it(they might have changed it though with all them patches). The anime episodes can also be watched first, although they're not as important. They act as very solid...

    Planescape Torment Kickstarter: A spiritual sequel to be set in Monte Cook's Numenera

    Yeah from the few comments I've read since I haven't played either games yet, most of this doesn't actually show in the final product, so not sure I care too much. Torment seems to have very lukewarm reviews but not because it's shoving SJW shit into your face and more because it's just not very...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Well War3 won't be before 2019, and then probably a year of DLC after that, so later 2020 at the earliest I'd say. Very excited for Tomb Kings release. Main issue is figuring which one to start with, and wether to do Vortex or ME. I'm unclear on wether there's cutscenes and shit in the Vortex...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I think it'll probably be nice for kids if you like, buy the game separately then buy some chinese knockoff for 2bucks or just do it yourself(they'll be providing the patterns for free). In fact doing it yourself with your kid could probably be a nice father/son(or daughter, let's not be sexist)...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Sounds about right yeah, SAM and RDM are both fairly simple, with RDM being the easiest of the 2, but they both require Stormblood and a lvl 50 and they start at 50 which can be a bit tough for newer players since you kinda want to sit down and read all your skills and stuff. I'd say SAM is...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah the Switch emulator is nothing atm, but for Zelda you can just play the Wii U version instead, which they optimized a lot with the CEMU emulator so it actually runs well enough and it looks way better than the switch version as a result. For every other switch game you're pretty not...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    BDO is hard to judge if it's doing well because regardless it's going to be carried by some asian markets(probably china more so than korea, not sure it's doing so hot in korea but maybe it is). Lots of KR mmos actually have bad numbers in KR and in the west but still do fine in China, enough...

    The Royal Edition is just the usual complete final goty edition thing, it has every season pass/DLC released so far, and a few new things. Full list in spoiler, you can also buy the royal edition new changes separately for 20bucks(which seems like complete garbage for the price, if you have the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There was no reason to pull 5mobs as a rogue since the only aoe you had was Blade Flurry and it was a fairly long cooldown. You could and probably survive, but it wasn't worth doing. Rogues were more about killing mobs really quick 1 by 1, during stunlocks with like cheap shot opener into a 5pt...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I would say XIV is a good pick, although it might be worth waiting until the end of the month for 4.2 which is supposed to have some MSQ fixes to some of the fuckery that happens in the last vanilla dungeon(people speedrunning it and making new players miss everything due to cutscenes playing in...

    Blizzard navigated that one pretty nicely, they didn't sell those rights until right before it started. Funny thing is if they hadn't sold the rights to twitch, what would they have done anyway? Stream them on their own crappy platform they use for blizcon? Just stream on twitch anyway but with...

    There's a twitter post saying actually no HDR. It's remade in the DS3 engine, but apparently with no new options or gameplay changes. It might change later. Edit: Fucking idiots can't get their shit right, seems HDR after all:

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Denuvo hasn't caused any slowdowns, at least none that was very noticeable, just like it hasn't destroyed HDDs. It does have a slight ressource hit obviously and completely fucks with some types of modding, but it really doesn't do a whole lot other than that. Considering how many games use...

    Yeah I'm happy about that, I tried getting into the emulated DS version once but didn't, so I'll probably grab the remake on Switch once I buy one, later(probably once it price drops, so end of 2018 or 2019 depending on Nintendo, since it's still selling well I'm not sure they'll price drop this...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Means the game is at least not dead, so that's nice. Not much else, although they might start showing some more stuff later this year at conventions and what not. Still expect a 2020 release or so.
