9) I was 26 before I realized Porygon was Polygon with a racist accent
Not a racist accent so much as a literal transliteration of ポリゴン which is the Japanese word for polygon.
Like, it's not being racist to ask for orenji jyuusu in Japan because that is their actual word for orange juice.
Right I understand but that l > r is a very often used lazy way to show a caricature accent
That is true. I am surprised they did not just translate it to polygon instead of doing a literal transliteration. A bit of an odd call.
I have had a few people (like store clerks and stuff) say shit like "Oh so it was all like ching-chong-wing-wong over in japan huh?" When they here that I got back from Japan recently.
It's like. Dude none of those are even sounds in the Japanese language.
If i wanna play a fuckin R P G should i play xillia
Haven't gotten too far into Xillia but it seems okay. Biggest issue is that it repeats areas (either having you go through the same area more than once or creating a similar area with the same architecture).
Get Trails in the Sky if you want a PS1 RPG experience. Get Bravely Default if you want a successor to Final Fantasy V. Get Xenoblade Chronicles if you want the best RPG of the previous generation.

don't you know that all of asia is the same inquisitor
I like Tales games for their characters but am awful at and don't enjoy their combat, which they only keep making more complex in ways I am even worse at. Symphonia was just basic enough for me to play and mash buttons and succeed, even against the big optional boss. In Xillia, while I'm not losing fights, it also doesn't feel remotely satisfying to play.
Big bummer because I always enjoy those games' charactrizations.
Wyborn if you liked xillia, xillia 2 is really good
also I want someone to talk about it to
Yeeeeeeah that's the thing innit; I'm discovering Tales as a series isn't really for me; I wanted to punt about half the cast pretty hard, and the pacing of the game doesn't gel with me for some reason
I don't understand how white people mix up spoken mandarin and japanese, they're as different as two languages can be
I can never mistake Mandarin or Cantonese for anything else, but
Sometimes I mistake spoken Spanish for French, or vice versa, depending on the accent the speaker has. Like if they have an American accent I will mess that up

It's easy!
You just have to memorize 8 attacks and which buttons they are assigned to and what elements they have and which enemies are vulnerable to each element and what moves combo into each other and what each characters assist ability is and which goes best with each combos!
I already have Xillia and the Symphonia collection to play through so I think I'll pass this time. I've heard mixed things too, some people claiming that the gameplay is great but that the story is inexcusably godawful.
I don't hear people speak mandarin or Japanese on a regular basis at all. I prefer not to make assumptions about people when they look or speak different though.
The combat is easily the best part of Tales games for me; @SilverWind and I got real good at chaining together our Artes and doing sick combos and wiping out bosses and stun-locking them and all, though we never got quite as good as my brother and I did in Symphonia (partially down to the fact that I don't think there's a character in Xilia who kicks as much ass as Regal)
I forget where I was going with this
I've played a lot of Jurps this year, really good Jurps, and I don't think Xilia can stand next to them

and then got shot because drew keeps running up too close to ocelot.
I mean I'd go back later and do some real Sick Nasty shit to those guards, but I liked the challenge of a kill-less run
Ah ok. Thanks sir, I should pick it up then. Been itching for a Tales game.
It's probably my second favorite one ever after Vesperia
Its a great game
Porygon
yeah they really fucked up by not calling that feature porygon
edit: well except for the fact it kinda sounds like someone making fun of an Asian person's accent
9) I was 26 before I realized Porygon was Polygon with a racist accent
That one's not so bad, because the first syllable is pronounced differently than you would expect a racist caricature to be used.
Yes this
In addition to the obvious solid snake reference it refers to the use of solid 3d polygonal objects instead of flat 2d sprites

I did not realize this when I posted it, for the record.

Every franchise you like is going to have a moba, Persona moba, Rune factory moba, TF2 moba, Metal gear moba
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully

FAAAAAAAAARG
Listen do you like Tales games!!!!
If you like Tales games then Xilia's real good
If you don't then play something else!!!
Wyborn if you liked xillia, xillia 2 is really good
also I want someone to talk about it to
don't you know that all of asia is the same inquisitor
i didn't realize either until I was like "wait a minute..." like right after I posted it and read it to myself
They released the mod tools early in preparation
Big bummer because I always enjoy those games' charactrizations.
Can you reliably tell Danish and Swedish apart?
Yeeeeeeah that's the thing innit; I'm discovering Tales as a series isn't really for me; I wanted to punt about half the cast pretty hard, and the pacing of the game doesn't gel with me for some reason
I gave the series enough chances I think

It is my secret shame

They really are but I can see how somebody who has zero familiarity with both languages would continue to be ignorant on the matter
Swedish and Icelandic?
for me though, as someone who is bored to absolute tears by persona/final fantasy style combat, its basically the best
that's some subtitle font
