The uh, made up one that exists in the game. I don't think they gave it a name yet.
Though I suspect Ares/Mars makes up the religion of the evil empire.
Also (first five minutes of the game spoiler)
the main guy is like the vessel for the god of war, or something.
He gets all white haired evil and does an animu laugh, and his HP is 666.
Yep.
That part is pretty dumb, but I was referring to how the enslaved people are forced to tear down their own temple of worship and forced to follow the empire's god. The main character also waxes on about how he has abandoned his faith and is undeserving of his goddesses' love.
It's rather heavy-handed and a touch melodramatic, but we'll see where it goes.
They don't tear it down themselves, but sounds pretty much like:
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
for me the dearth of character interaction and the way a lot of their stories are left to your imagination/theorizing fit the setting perfectly. its the end of the world, there are only a literal handful of humans alive, you mostly only ever run into crazy/apathetic demons and your human friends all get siphoned off and seduced by various ideals and factions and become very different people and are no longer your friends
Its things like the amala drums, which are mysterious and never fully make sense, or the way you n ever find out exactly how the worlds end was induced, or the way they pervert every day locations into bizarre hellscapes. it feels like a lot of stuff is happening that you are not around to see that might not even involve you.
it is truly the dark souls of persona
Oh, so it's shit
No, he didn't say it was the Final Fantasy X-2 of persona.
look me in the goddamn eye and tell me you don't want a game where the female cast of persona 4 goes on road trip adventures
i fucking dare you
that sounds like it would be a fun game
not sure how that is related to FFX-2 being awful

X-2 has some really good writing, particularly around faith. That's something I've always found really interesting about fiction; the idea that they can have a definitive answer about gods, the afterlife and so on. A lot of the writing around how despite the fact that Yevon was exposed as a sham, people still follow tradition, is great - Beclem and Wakka bounce off each other really well in this regard. There's also a huge amount of character development around Yuna - when you first go to Guadosalam her voice-over mentions how she's been avoiding the Farplane because she doesn't want confirmation one way or another about Tidus, and there's tonnes of stuff throughout.
The game just has fucking garbage presentation and inexcusable female character design and pandering.
So Trails in the Sky has plenty of cutscenes, but they're all in-engine cutscenes. Just using the animation style of the rest of the game and its combat.
Sure there's plenty of them that are just talking and walking, but there's a tonne that are action sequences, and I've been really impressed with the sort of dynamics they've managed with this sort of engine. They're really quite well done!

They literally copy and paste underwater enemies into "floating" enemies you fight on land.
I know it was made on a budget but man that is lazy.
This is a time honored JRPG tradition of fighting clearly aquatic enemies floating in the air, you could throw a dart at a grid of every JRPG and you'll have an over 50% chance of hitting a game that has this
Speaking of Jurp screams, TtT2's lead sure has a set of pipes on him.
That's to be expected since it uses the original Japanese VAs, but if the story is really 80 hours as advertised I worry for that actor's lungs post-recording.
I ended up buying a small 4:3 lcdtv to play PS2 games on. Primarily eyeing my old copies of .hack//G.U. and the Shadow Hearts games. Of course I don't even give myself enough time to play the new games I want to play, much less play hundreds of hours of games I've already played.

and since you're skeith I know who you are most likely
do tell
my guesses so far
yata is wiseman
haseo is sora
endrance is elk
that kid who leads moon tree feels like helba
piros is piros
why do i love these games so much
.hack//G.U. is tied into the original quadrilogy in a number of ways.
But not in those ways.
ZEN DON"T READ!
Actually he's right about all of those except Zelkova, the moon tree kid. And to be fair, there might not actually even BE a person behind that guy.
Endrance is the same person who played the World V1 as Elk. Dude never got over Mia "dying", which the Ida virus (and the powers behind it) took shape as that cat to get to him.
He's right about Haseo as well. Way back in The World beta, so the original anime, Sora was controlled by the four year old person that would grow up to play as Haseo in The World V2. This isn't really important other than giving a reason for why Haseo has the power of Skeith, since he doesn't remember any of his time in the beta version. Though apparently he remembers his time as Sora in one of the novels and gets a new form with wings and Skeiths old weapon from the first series? Whatever the novels are (even more) dumb and mostly untranslated.
Yata was Wiseman, as well as several other PC's across the series. Dude gets around.
And yeah, Piros is Piros from the first set of games.
Oh? I remember the original games being pretty miserable (I only played two out of four), so that's not a very high bar to clear. Is .hack/GU good on its own, or only in comparison to .hack/Infection-mutation-whatever?
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

.hack//GU basically takes the premise of the first quadrilogy and makes them into an actually fun game. It cut out almost all of the grinding, had more variety in the dungeon areas, and it made the combat way more fun.

They also add new weapon styles every game, so you're not just playing the Twin Daggers character, you can also play scythe, or 2h greatsword, or GUNZ in the third game. It fuckin owns

Oh, and Nooj has a disability too, which is cool.

I will always love the field generation being tied to keywords though, what a cool idea
