Eh, they didn't change the book part. It's the Lights/Fates crap that was nerfed, which are the stage before and stage after. Dude's actually at the only unchanged part of the relic. Either way... it's either a side grade or a marginal increase for people who raid. It is designed to be the...

Fantasy Life is really great. Has some mmo-esque moments and lots of collect-x type deals to keep you engaged. Probably one of my favorite games, and definitely in the top 5 for the 3ds imo.

Again, I'm not sure it's about the fact the person in question is wealthy. What is in question is our justice system's view of people relative to their wealth. It really is a different statement, and one that I personally feel needs to be represented. Kid committed a crime. His relative...

Yeah, I'm not sure it is schadenfreude so much as it is the circumstances of the original case. Kid should have been sent to jail for at least 5 years, and his parents should have been hit successfully hit for a substantial part of their wealth for doing such a shitty job rearing a child and...

This is a difficult decision for this early in the morning! Love both comedians and I've seen their standups live multiple times each. I'd say Bill Burr is currently "hotter" but CK was literally everywhere for awhile there. Going with Burr. But only by the slimmest of margins.

Haven't read Voyage! So probably gets worse. I need to set some time aside and just plow through the rest of his work, as I've read through Heritage/First King of Shannara, and the entire Landover series. Also the entire Word and the Void series, but until I read the connecting novels they...

Just replayed through the PS3 Dark Arisen after I beat FFX recently, and it is still awesome even though I know the steps to all the dances now. The first time you run across a troll in the caves still brings back the angst, hah.

First four episodes were baller. Absolutely cannot wait for January.

I'm not a hipster, and I knew going into FF13 (like everyone who has played the titles leading up to it should have) that it was going to lean more heavily towards AI controlled secondary characters, and the battle system would lean more heavily towards a system that ran with that. I did not...

Have you seen a young lady with a lip ring in here? "What'd she look like?" A young lady with a lip ring. Yeah, that looks pretty interesting, and I like Rollins a lot.

Well, a good rule of thumb is that you want to use familiars that your characters prefer. After the trials and you can move and recruit them, when you press square on the familars/equip screen, it'll show three little icons representing various genus of familiar to the right of each character's...

After thinking about the Shannara series and other fantasy settings I've read, it's actually fairly grimdark at times. It lacks constant murder/swearing/sex like Game of Thrones, but some of the novels are just straight up dark/depressing shit with death happening all the time. The Elf Queen...

More militaristic world, less "fantasy", and the roles sort of encompass a few classes/jobs and cherry pick abilities from most. Saboteur, for example, takes debuff type spells from Dark Knights, Blue Mages, White Mages, Black Mages and who knows what else. For the way the combat works, they...

My "complete" BD save is 55 hours and that's with everything unlocked, all jobs maxed, and all side stuff/final dungeon beat. Could have probably done it a lot faster, but I tend to mess around a lot randomly, or leave games on while I do other stuff for 30m-1hr oftenish.

Yeah, I've got nothing against anime, considering I post in the thread, but the "dood" humor really annoys the living crap out of me. I've given a couple of them a solid go, but since I'm one of those suckers that reads literally everything in a game; that shit was just too much to handle...

The reason why people don't ae pull until cap is that at cap most of the people have gear that is either at or above the limit for the dungeon, and all their clutch abilities. It's a lot harder to tank/heal larger pulls earlier in the game without all the "oh shit" buttons, and gear can easily...

One Punch Man is just Saitama doing GSP's "I am not impressed with your performance" in every episode, and it is awesome. Sad it ends, but they went through a -ton- of manga issues in 12 episodes. There's generally a lot more buildup for each monster and how strong they are, and then they get...

I thought the first rebooted Star Trek movie absolutely caught the feeling of the first Star Trek movies back in the day, minus some character tweeks like Spock. The second one could have certainly been better, and the corpsesicles being used for cure-anything serum was pretty dumb. It was...

Phantasy Star 2/4 were great games, and pretty much the best RPG wise (shining force was turn based strategy) on the Genesis that I can remember. Dragon Warrior came out when I was 8, and FF when I was 9. I still remember going through Chaos' castle in FF and spending like several hours in...

Hence the word "opinion" appearing 8 times in the post. The use of the word "objectively" was because I think Chris' opinions are simply wrong that they shouldn't be lumped together; they are by far the most derided FF games in the series, and that's not an opinion. 2 (not IV on super...

You want me to refute your objectively wrong opinions by posting my personal opinions about 13? Sure. 13 has the best graphics out of any RPG released up to and at the same time it came out. It also has the most engaging combat of any FF game up until that point. The method of character...

Nah it's not under the battery. There's a tab on the underside on the right, near the stylus holder. The downside of using multiple SD cards is just changing them out, really. And you end up having to re-log into the Nintendo Shop and shit because that information is saved on the card...

13 is not a bad game, it's just not a whole lot like other final fantasies. If you play them sequentially, from 1 to 13-3, you can see the evolution of combat leading up to what 13 and 13-2 had. The main problem with 13 is that there is no overwold (note: X didn't have one either, and 12 sort...

Time travel, when it is the primary focus, is generally crap. Chrono Trigger is like the one notable exception. I enjoyed the combat a bit more (though I enjoyed FF13's combat as well) but the story remains pants on head retarded in that installment group. I really liked 12/9/sub7 FF's...

12's combat is one of my favorite in any rpg ever, and I really liked the way the IZJS broke up the omni-class stuff. The gambit system was a natural progression of characters who always auto-attack; characters who always cast spells; characters who always do special moves etc etc. However, I...

It was more that you could only safely make it so far from a town/inn/savepoint/whatever before you might not make it back. Not exactly difficult, just a different type of playstyle. Dragon Warrior was not a difficult game, but you had like room for 6? Healing items and until a few levels in...

Pyros and I talked about the relative ease of jrpgs over in the RPG thread briefly, but really JRPGs have never been difficult. Not a single one, turn based or otherwise, minus some extremely specific examples that generally don't hold true for the entire game. FF7 was never hard to play...

Just killed uh, everything in Ni No Kuni (minus grinding out alchemy crap) and it took me 45 hours to max level characters/pets I wanted as well as beat all optional post-game content. This is with reading the text from every character in the game, including side quest text. Was at 30 (some...

Aww, but those were so fun to get 20 of and clog your inventory with constantly!

If you are talking just plowing through the story on easy, without min/maxing the shit out of your familiar pool (such as a probably non-existant preorder bonus pet that can solo bosses in the middle of the game) and doing minimal extra content, probably 25-30 hours, especially if you don't skip...

I can't think of a further rpg from Bloodborne than Ni No Kuni haw. I'm currently replaying it now, and the issues with the combat system still stand out. The tutorial stuff isn't -that- bad, without hearing the echo-chamber here on how horrific it was to bolster my dislike. But the no...

Yeah, my "big" playthrough was 76 hours for all materia, level 99 on every character and lots of farmed sources (though I stopped before capping most people's stats, as after a point you are just hitting for 9999 regardless) The size/voice-acting/graphic/engine overhaul may make it "too big"...

I would imagine they looked at the success of the Mass Effect series and went "hey this is one story over three games" and realized that they could milk their franchise poster child for 3 full games as well. And considering the fervor that surrounded the reveal, they are banking on several...

Kingdom Hearts had an attack menu and was definitely a very-actiony game. After rewatching the trailer it does look like more of a grandia style turn-based combat, in that it's turn based but generally speaking your characters are constantly moving around the battlefield and it can make AE...

Yeah I'd agree with that, overall. I was about to say "But Etrian Oddysey!" but that has a lot more in common with old school western CRPGs than Japanese anything, aside from art style. About the only "difficult" jrpgs I can honestly remember are the Shin Megami Tensei main games, as they...

Drippy's never ending tutorial, or explaining that you have to use the emotions each time it came to that part were annoying but not enough to mess up the game. Same with the way that the monsters don't clip, and had knockbacks on normal attacks that would cause subsequent ones to miss...

He's been rather large for awhile, I think. He was pretty hefty in The Man with the Iron Fists, where effectively he was paid for like 10 minutes of plot and the remaining 40 to be fat and fondle young asian women. On topic though, this movie looks hilarious.

Was personally hoping for more of a turn based combat. And it didn't show anyone else doing stuff aside from Cloud in the combat scenes. Ah well, still looks cool, and Barret being voiced by the same guy who did Jet in Cowboy Bebop is pretty neat. But if Vincent is voiced by Blum, I'm gonna...

Shitty, but like others I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier. Guy loved his hard drugs like nobody's business, and abused the hell out of them and alcohol on the regular.
