    Secret of Evermore was a delight. Every now and then I pick it up again.

    did you like BD? then you will probably like BS

    did you not like BD? then do not go near BS

    I have them both but I really never played much of BS I mean too but can you play it now without the whole streetpass town thing people talked about?

    Secret of Evermore is one of those games I wish I had played back in the day. I have too large of a backlog of new games to go back and play it now, unfortunately.

    It's good that the Tales talk was expunged from the JRPG thread, so it could get back to being the Granblue thread.

    Yea.

    I'm not quite sure why a current jurp got booted from the jurp thread so that it could go back to being a phone game thread.

    Wrrrryyyyy

    At the time it was like the entire last three pages, and since the split that thread has generated more posts that this thread. If I thought Granblue had a chance to make it on its own I'd kick that out, too.

    I guess that makes sense.

    I appreciate the insight into the reason though.

    Thank you for that.

    If its anything like the one in BD then you really don't need it. Theres boss monsters that pop up but when I played BD they were all level 99+ so it was useless

    both of those are very good gachas, I just tend to stick to one main game (right now it's GBF) and juggling some others out of curiosity (i'm getting back into the super sentai gacha)

    gbf is too much video game for me to also be playing anything on the level of dokkan or Record Keeper

    I basically just log into RK so I can collect login mithril and occasionally pull on banners

    I've slowly started accumulating 5* gear but haven't actually really sat down and devoted time to "play" it in at least a year

    I've kind of started to get back into logging in and pulling units in FFBE too

    But GBF is my real strong gacha drug

    They probably just weren't sure how much longer it was going to take to get the PC version ready. Also, if they were going to make a very lazy PC port(not saying they did here) they might want to hold it back slightly so any negative press they get about the PC version doesn't affect the initial sales of the console versions.

    Also it's a japanese game where PC gaming is an afterthought so it might be neither of these things.

    The Revengeance port was very, very good, so I doubt the PC port is a rush job.

    And SE has gotten much better with PC ports since FF13.

    Front Mission 3 is real good

    Know what's amazing? Front Mission 5.
    Know what's kinda MEH and not so great? Front Mission 4.

    Well that's a bummer to hear seeing as I bought it already

    But I also bought it for 4 bucks so not too big a loss if I don't dig it

    FM4 is okay. Its mechanically better than 3 but the story is not great. I liked it enough for the gameplay

    Huh, alright, I might be okay with it then

    I'm like 30 hours into the first path and it's mainly just Kazuki yelling about Alisa as we chase her around the globe
    Kazuki is never going to stop yelling about Alisa, fair warning

    4 has a better story, I should get around to playing 5 now that I have a copy and the patch

    Do not have a cow, mortal.

    Sure he does. On the Alicia (really. More like Liu) story path.

    Emma's story path had romance.
    Alica/Liu's story path had your party be complete badasses.

    I beat FM3 many times in my younger years and for sure perfered Alica's story path.

    I still remember, my first time through this game I did Emma's path and was not really enjoying the plot...and then we finally met Alica who promptly began yelling at Emma.

    Cue me resetting the game and restarting for Alica's path and enjoying it a bunch.

    There's something to be said about constantly losing and constantly seeing all your allies die in the Emma route for most of the game.

    While in Alisa's you have sound tactical plans and win far more than you lose. Especially endgame when you return to Japan. Only in Alisa's route does the MC get the respect of his father as he saves his old man's ass and takes back the country.

    I'm pulling a lot of SSR...summons...for elements I don't use.

    Lucifer for 100% Light bonus and Macula for 50% Water bonus.

    Just scraping by with my like 30% Earth one for now...

    Oh, and I've gotten like 3 gold moons, which I guess are SSR doubles...and at least 5 copies of the new SR gun.

    So. Super Robot Wars V Spoilers. The MC gets to choose between two upgrade mechs eventually. Below is all their attacks.

    Which one is a better design and more awesome? Former is Power, later is Speed.

    Watching that, I'm not even sure what Lyria did. Cast a few buffs? Never attacked except for joining in on the ougi?

    That just made me really wish I had characters with interesting/good special attacks, as my current team is incredibly boring to watch. I usually just start it, go read a post or watch part of a video, then check back in when they're done. Sad, since I love Valkyrie Profile.

    Lyria gets four skills, all of which are highly useful, and she gets 30 percent charge for each one she uses

    She also allows dualcasting of summons which can be hyper useful

    I think that the cooldown on her skills is just a tiny bit too long to make her generally useful, but she's a pretty neat character nonetheless.

    Second one is better, not even close. Only thing the first one had going was that laser soccer ball thing.

    Also Iiiiii sort of forgot about the SRW series (and spin-offs) female characters and the camera work associated with them. Whoops. Gotta get them otaku dollars for niche stuff like this I suppose.
