They did my Apple Pie fuckin dirty tho
I am Not Pleased
edit: Okay they did RIGHT by my Kokodayo though. Damn they nailed Kroos.
Some of them are completely different characterizations though. They completely missed the tone for Platinum and Fartooth, for example.

I really like Silver Ash, Phantom, and Hoshiguma.
Silver Ash is Silver Daddy.

lmao???? i'll take it
From what I understand the extra content from the Saturn version wasn't particularly well-received, which may explain why it's never resurfaced. (Also the nightmare of Saturn emulation.)
My Backloggery
Sidenote: the more of these collections, emulators, etc use rewind as a feature, the more I realize that Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was really just providing a limited way to fix the sometimes janky and unforgiving controls for that game.
I've had fun with the Advance Collection on the Switch thus far, but I think I'm done with Circle of the Moon. I'm not sure if it's the need to farm or nothing really being well explained or the general difficulty but it's grating on me.
Yeah, I was playing it on android waiting for planes last weekend. After I figured out the display rate thing for my phone screen, it runs perfectly, and is, outside of some changed dialogue, exactly the same as any other version. Of course I have a controller for my phone, I can't imagine trying to play it (or anything really) with touchscreen controls, but maybe people who are more accustomed to those could do it fine?
I wish we would get a full on complete remaster of the game, with some higher quality (not just blurred or AI upscaled) visuals, and full widescreen support, but given how little the collections changed/fixed anything, I don't expect we ever will.

Wait how do you do that? Does it start off unbound?
edit: oh advance collection not classic.
So, it is really more of an upgrade. I assume the PS4 version tweaks things up even more.
Oh shit thanks for reminding me that Bagpipe got buffed this patch I literally forgot

A layer was lost on the Silhouette Mirage port. Still, that port added a whole bunch of other stuff.
I have actually come to like the PlayStation version Silhouette Mirage.
I do like that it ends with the reveal that yes, Sir. Reginald Hargreeves was the villain all along. He is the cause of all three apocalypses by being an asshole claiming to be a father. He is the cause of the Umbrella's dysfunction that lead to Five disappearing for 50 years, Klaus drug addiction and Luther's ape body. That is before Victor's fucked up relationships with both his family, his powers and probably his transness. I wouldn't put Ben1's death past him either. Diego wanting to prove that he is more than a number 2 turning him into a belligerent nut might count too. Ben2 obviously had similar issues as Diego.
Only Allison can claim that her dysfunction wasn't Hargreeves related, but then her powers are the kind of powers that are usually reserved for bad guys(Killgrave anyone?). So the idea that she would break for selfish villainy wasn't to far out there. When you can literally tell people to obey you, being told no is not something you respond well too.
From what little we can see of the Sparrow's, they had similar issues with him, only they responded better by drugging him into a stupor and taking charge of their own destiny. Even then, he left a bunch of damaged kids. Sloan being actually good was a miracle and her and Luther bonding over how much their dad screwed them up was the foundation of their relationship.
Reginald Hargreeves is the villain, he was always the villain. Hell, I bet making the Umbrellas and Sparrows superheroes was so they would obey him better. People will endure a lot if they are told its for a good cause.
Well it's more that Iga and maybe some of his team disliked it. He did get Maria playable in the PSP version like the Saturn, but she plays completely different, more focused on animal summoning like her younger self from Rondo.
Rape your brother? Sure! Get deets on the save the world plan? Nah.
I am physically vibrating at these Nendos
You notice they made the characters more rugged in the Netflix show.
The Saturn version became more like a prototype version. It would be a neat thing to collect.
There is an English patch for it. It edits some portraits in the game, which is a little annoying. They were trying to make it line up with RoB.
Also, the patch only works on a certain version of the game. I assume it is the latest one.
Yeah, I've been ignoring modules so far. I probably should really start looking into them.
The only negative is that they are kind of expensive to actually unlock. And the CN version just introduced levels to them, so they get even more expensive to progress further. Lots of those data block module things and materials and LMD.
But once you have it, no reason to ever go back to the basic module.
Keep in mind a lot of these aren't available in Global yet. Right now I think we have... Instructor Guards, Summoner Supporters, Chain Casters, Charger Vanguards, AoE Medics, Deadeye Snipers, Executor Specialists... Ah, and Swordmaster Guards.
Best Modules to invest into atm are: Passenger, Bagpipe. Any of the AoE Medics are decent too, just a lower priority (at the very least Ptil/Nightingale; honestly, the extra range helps more than you'd think).
Mostima will become an absolute beast once we get her tiered Module (she does not have a Module at all in Global currently) so she's a good Operator to invest into period, if you're wanting to plan for that. She gets like what, a map-wide 18% slow for every enemy on the map, and units in her attack range are slowed by like 90% while S3 is active. Gravel will become pretty good once she gets her tiered Modules as well (great synergy with Nearl Alter's S2), but until then it's pretty meh.
Then again, if you wanna just do your favs, then just do your favs. Nothing wrong with that, honestly. There's zero downsides to Modules. They're wholesale upgrades to the Operator that has them. Stat increases and a bonus effect, it's stonks baybee. STONKS.

I don’t think so, five made it clear she was never going to get her kid or husband back and she should get over it.
And everyone got off okay, except for Luther I guess not getting “the love of his life” that he’s known for two days back. I mean we don’t even know if she’s actually gone
I mean, saving the universe *and* getting your husband from the 60s and your kid from the future back? That’s probably the most under stable thing Allison did
I never got the indication that she thought she could have both of them back, only that she missed her husband. And Five didn't say they couldn't go back and fix things, but that he was not at all willing to risk this seemingly apocalypse-free future just for the sake of Allison. He tells Allison directly to her face that the current timeline is perfectly good, and that her wanting her daughter back is no reason to risk the existence of everybody else. Which just infuriates Allison more because she interprets that as the family choosing not to help her for no good reason.
But it was phenomenally egotistical and self-centered of her to lock in completely on her loss and utterly ignore Luther. Allison had been Luther's first love since they were kids, but Hargreaves brutalized Luther's life to lock him out of any pursuit of that. Then Allison went off, became rich and famous, got married, had a kid, and single-handedly fucked it all up herself. In the meantime, Luther stays at the Academy and continues to do hero shit, completely alone for years. In the process, he very nearly dies from lack of help and the treatment that helps him survive also gives him a monstrous ape-body. Then he gets sent to the fucking Moon by himself, also for years. Then the first season starts and Allison then leans way hard on Luther to help her through what the apocalypse stuff. Then when they go back in time, Luther thinks he's lost everybody, finds out Allison is around, finds out she's both alive but already married, and it just crushes him. Instead of him barging into her life and fucking with things, he goes off to be miserable working through things on his own.
And then after literally a lifetime of abuse from Hargreaves and his own family and spending almost that entire time heavily isolated, Luther finally meats somebody who falls for him just as hard as he does for her. And Allison tries to fuck it up because she's jealous. That's even before the plan she makes with Hargreaves that gets Luther killed, because Allison can't fucking stand that anybody in the family might get some happiness when she doesn't.
Hargreaves is an asshole because he's a nigh-immortal alien who might not even have really have certain intrinsic human emotions, and even he has regrets about killing Luther even to save the universe. Allison is a phenomenal, professional Grade-A Asshole who can't even muster enough humanity to feel bad about trying to take away possibly the only contiguous days of happiness Luther has ever actually experienced.
On second thought, if we get a season 4, I'd kinda be okay with Hargreaves having an actual redemption arc and Allison being the big final villain.
Typo is accurate.....
Plus what with Integrated Strategies coming investing in 4*s is a good idea!

As much horrible shit as Allison has done, if Klaus ends up thinking she's can be okay again, I might actually relent and agree with him.
I assume they kinda rushed through it because they feared the series being cancelled and needed a reasonable tie-off point, but even by the standards of a show that's always kinda had too many plates spinning it felt rushed and disjointed
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
The roguelike mode iirc
As bad as Allison rumoring Luther in S3, the fact that she used her powers on her daughter... That is child abuse on another level. It should have been a warning that her powers had warped her personality.
I believe that Allison isn't fundamentally a bad person, just that her powers left her unable to be deal with a world that doesn't follow her wishes. She knows using her powers for selfish reasons is wrong, but she tries to get around that by making a deal with Reginald.
