    I really like the idea of that change-the-future mechanic, hope it turns out as useful as it looks

    So somehow I managed to find myself in two separate metros immobilized at the station because of incidents on the way there, but I finally got my hands on it!

    And then on the way back, a third metro was immobilized for a time.

    With how Nintendo's been treating this release, I pretty much expected a throwaway packaging/manual

    but it has a really nice reversible cover!

    Hang on, let me check the chart... yyyyyyyyyup so that means it turns out you've been a woman all along. You can hand in your Man Badge at the reception desk.

    ok

    its covered in glitter and stuff, some chipped paint

    i didn't know what kind of paint to use on...what is this? is this copper? i don't know

    anyways the paint flecked off so i used glitter and glue instead, but it didn't really stick right

    everywhere i go ppl are like "hey how did i get this little piece of glitter on me" and i have to explain about my straight badge

    it's probably for the best, giving this 'ole thing up

  • ackack Registered User regular
    you changed your post he said straight badge at first i'm not the one who messed up

  • SimBenSimBen Hodor? Hodor Hodor.Registered User regular

    and it said the game isn't out yet

    Basically I'm a criminal 8-)

    Caught me. I realized the first version of my joke might have come off as somewhat offensive so I changed it.

    Still sexist

  • ackack Registered User regular
    lets workshop this joke to make it non offensive

    ok

    Hang on, let me check the chart... yyyyyyyyyup so that means it turns out you've been a [crook] all along. You can hand in your [police] badge at the reception desk.

    and it makes more sense too!! what the heck is a "man badge" anyways?!?!

    It's crucial to surviving tough battles and maintaining a rhythm in battle, and it feels good to neuter serious threats in battle.

    Should I get this?

    I dunno I am really bad about actually finishing JRPG's.

    Like I enjoy them, but then I get 30 or so hours in and go whelp bored now time to play something else

    Also of the four Wii games I own I've only played one. And that was RE4 which I had already played and completed on the PS2

    Hahahaha wow the voice acting is so incredibly wonderfully cheese. I love it.

    There's a LOT of shit all sparkling around during combat, that'll take some getting used to. That said, I'm exhausted right now and just don't have the concentration for it. Night everyone.

    The voice acting definitely takes a little while to get used to, but it's a nice change from the regular stable of american talent.

    That's a tough one, it's a JRPG that has a lot of innovations and wonderful things about it, but it still a JRPG with a lot of time investment. But as someone who very rarely gets into JRPGs this one has been worth the time and effort for me.

    Okay I've changed my mind. This looks awesome.

    Any word on when Nintendo will stop selling it from their online store or am I probably good for a few weeks

    Patrick is at the exact place in the story that I was hoping he would get to, that's a good quick look.

    He fell for exactly the same mistake I made early on, shield is used on future flash attacks with white text, you don't get the hard counter to red text attacks until a little later on and you have to depend on healing, reviving or toppling.

    Best advice I can give for the early fights (because they are tough) is to know your arts and if your team mate is going to survive the future flash, hold back from attacking so you don't draw aggro at the last second.

    I kind of wish it was a longer quicklook so I could still be watching it

    Oh, and when Patrick tells his team mate to focus on the enemy he's fighting? Very important, a divided team is a dead one.

    Classic, apparently?

  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    Camera is kind of a bitch with nunchuck/wiimote, so yeah I might go snag one of those

    Opening impressions:
    Some dude just used his limit break on a bridge that is also two enormous swords connecting monsters the size of continents and there was bro-banter

    Also the combat is so good, just based off one fight

    cooldown management, aggro, position dependent strikes

    I got to the first village, and felt like I had missed a few collectibles

    in a vain hope, i thought I would try to leave the village to go wander around instead of doing story stuff

    and it let me

    Huh. My experience with JRPGS is pretty insulated - I've only ever played chrono trigger, FFVI, the first dragon quest annddd the golden sun games (which are probably the most vanilla of the genre). This looks different, and compelling, enough that I might get it. Features like the open exploration, minimal cutscenes, and cutting out random battles look really appealing. The stereotypical spiky hair and oversize swords are a non issue.

    My only qualm is I've already been in the middle of several games and have an already substantial backlog (albeit steam and GOG games), but the novelty of this game's scope on the wii looks worth getting.

  • ArtreusArtreus I'm a wizard And that looks fucked upRegistered User regular
    I would have to buy classic controller if I got this... hrrrrrrrrmmm.

    Man I need more money right now. It is quite tight, but I also do not want them to run out of stock before I get more money

    you wouldn't have to buy a classic controller, it's just better is all. I wonder if the game has gamecube controller support...

  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    Not that I can tell.

    I like this game

    but man

    "...we'll be right as Reyn"
    "OH HO HO
    SHULK YOU CRACK ME UP"

    I groaned so hard

    all of the groan

  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    I love Reyn and Shulk

    and that they didn't americanize the voices on localization from europe

    The voice acting is the best part of this game. Especially the villains. Especially
