    I'm slowly working back in to this and I wanna set up a new team or two but absolutely can not decide on who I want on it. :cry: Only goal I have, outside of a ton of content to catch up on, is leveling my Albedo for my GeoDudes team.

    Still amazed no-one has patented and made Tension Sheets.

    It's just the stuff they used to use as packing paper painted red with TENSION SHEET printed on it.

    I’ve never played a single Ys. But it looks and sounds good. Who among you have Yssed?

    I like the middle chapter of Ys games most. The early ones were a bit too janky, but from Ark of Napishtim through Ys Seven are great. Oath in Felghana is probably the Most Ys you can get.

    Fair warning, the chronology and numbering are even more fucked up than Final Fantasy. I think 7 was where they finally got their ducks in a row.

    Yeah, the timeline of the games is a bit all over the place.

    Ys 1+2 is the first, but I would have to actually look up the timeline for most of the rest. (Origin aside, since its a distant prequel to 1+2 specifically)

    That said, it sounded like X was going and inserting further back in the timeline again from some of the previews?

    I remember enjoying it way more in Early Access before they rebalanced the game to make it (feel, at least to me) way harder. But that wouldn't be the first game that basically listened to the hardcore EA crowd and made their game less fun (Darkest Dungeon, looking at you)

    Nah, the devs were 100% into making the game less fun all on their own. Even after launch they kept at it, so many builds got neutered for actually being effective and reliable. God, that poor hellion...

    What’s the general rotation of when characters return to banners? Like, when will Raiden Shogun probably be back on a banner?

    There's no general rotation. Eula had to wait over a year for a rerun, for example. That said they've rerun the archons fairly often and it's been a while since last Raiden banner so it shouldn't take forever ... except 4.0 is coming and there's tons of new Fontaine characters waiting to get a banner spot.

    Eh, series 7/8 are pretty dire in places IMO.

    I had a bit of a catch up on the series since a while back and they weren’t bad, but in my head it still ends beautifully with series 6.

    Now get off my lawn, I have teens to shake my stick at.

    Current info for 4.0 is:
    Lyney (confirmed, 5* pyro bow)
    Lynette (4* anemo bow, confirmed)
    Freminet (confirmed 4* hydro claymore)
    Rumored: Yelan, Zhongli, Childe

    There's a lot of talk about them possibly switching to triple banners sometime after 4.0 because the time between reruns is getting very long, but that's just chatter right now.

    Also there are new craftable weapons (finally a 4* HP spear), two new artifact sets (the grind never dies), the BP is getting new weapons, and everyone will get a free Lynette in 4.0.

    The "Have a Fantastic Period" from that era is still a hilarious gag, with Kryten's eventual dawning realization of "...he set me up, didn't he?"

    Still no craftable 4* HP sword from what I saw. *flips the table*

    I read through the new character beta server kits too and they are getting really tedious to read, it's all "When held 6s, the Doodah of Boobah activates the Overhold Mode that triggers a stack of Whattheheck buffs." for pages and pages.

    7 is kinda bad. It has a weird vibe to it - the cgi is weird and it's very hit or miss. They kill off Rimmer but it turns out it doesn't work without him. Then they bring him back straight away in 8. 8 is good. X is not bad.

    When I think of Red Dwarf though, I think of 1-6.

    I think Barrie wanted to leave so not much they could do there and the original version of Kochanski actually seemed to like Dave so that wouldn't have worked. I don't envy the actress, she never stood a chance.

    Hmm sounds like there's a lot of hydro characters coming up. Still debating if I should burn my pulls on Kokomi.

    My current B team of Nahida, Ei, and yelan is okay, but missing a good on-field character

    If that's your B team you're well past needing anyone. Also Ei is plenty of on field for that in my experience.

    Yeah, if anything that B team could use healing/shielding. Kokomi could work, or Barbara. Kuki Shinobu is a shoe-in for every team.

    I remember genuinely tearing up during the final moments of Stoke me a Clipper when it aired. Rimmer was my favourite character as a young lad, I even went to a school Christmas fancy dress party as him, so to see him go was quite a sad moment in the show. The scene where they follow Ace's lightbee to the Golden planetary ring still gets me.

    Apparently, Rimmer said nuts to being Ace or the current Rimmer is a hologram based off the Rimmer from season 8.

    I think the other big vibe you can pick up with 7 is that it's no longer filmed before a studio audience. ...At least I think it's 7, and if not it's definitely 8. I just know at some point they make the switch, and... you can tell. At the very least they're not using a canned laugh track, I think they actually screened the episode to a group so they could at least get an "authentic" laugh track.

    7 was filmed on a closed set, as a practice run for the movie, then screened for an audience in order to get a laugh track. Hence the Xtended versions of Tikka to Ride, Ouroboros and Duct Soup that don't have a laugh track. 8 was back in front of an audience.

    Both use the same canned laughter that every BBC sitcom around that time used as a sweetener to the studio audience laughter. Once you hear that same distinctive woman's laugh you can't unhear it.
