That line is perfectly fine in context, but I will admit I laughed pretty hard when he said it too. It's just such a goofy line, on the level of "Who will I eat ice cream with?"

Honestly I'm not sure if I would enjoy a Pixar world much. I don't think it would jive well with the worst-kind-of-batshit direction Kingdom Hearts's story went after the first game, the series is basically Nomura's Disney snuff porn fanfiction at this point.

The game's is available for download on iOS/Android but without localization. There are already English guides out for non-Japanese players. I think the Android version has some region locking issues which may prevent you from playing it. The White Dragon posted:I wouldn't mind them just so I can hear Tom Hanks forced to say "Buzz Lightyear-sama uguuuuuuuu~" There was a reddit AMA not too long ago where Haley Joel Osment was asked if he understood Kingdom Heart's story: quote:The Kingdom Hearts plot is really hard to follow, but seeing as you’ve provided your voice for most of the games, can you understand most of it? Do you tend to play the games yourself? http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1vdrbr/hey_reddit_its_me_haley_joel_osment_here_to/ I guess there is some method to the madness or the English localization team mess with their voice actors for fun.

The White Dragon posted:Maybe, all I know is I haven't played one since KH2 and as far as I recall, everything that isn't "Sora + Kairi star-crossed lovers 4EVA" is all about how awful and depressing these homeless Disney characters' lives have gotten due to the Heartless. That was only the first game actually. They got rid of the "Disney worlds destroyed by Heartless" stuff at the end of the first game and every one since has had the Disney worlds just being random Disney worlds where you go and do the plots completely straightfaced. Basically all they do these days is "here is the plot of the Disney movie told verbatum except Sora is standing off to the side and occasionally punches a guy in the face" until it is time for fanfiction bosses to show up and spout insane psuedophilosphy at each other. Mind you, that doesn't make it an iota less stupid. Just stupid in a goofy anime way instead of a depressing snuff fanfiction way. Schwartzcough posted:Hahahahahahah...... ah.... Hahahahaha.

Regarding FFX: Is there an easy/good way to beat Seymour Flux, without having to grind (too much)? If I do have to grind, what should I aim for and what's the best part to do so? Should I run back and do the optional dungeon or do the side-quest in the Calm Lands?

Its been a long time since I've played 10 but IIRC none of the Seymour fights require any grinding. You just have to remember the order of the elemental attacks he uses and use the appropriate null spell beforehand.

Grawl posted:Regarding FFX: Is that the fight at the snow bit? It's been years. I remember popping a summon whenever it was his turn and letting a summon eat his attack since he just desummons them anyway. It's always good to have a dedicated healer in those sorts of fights too, making sure you've got hastega and shell/protect up on everyone. This advice is probably useless though. Anyway, so I've lost my copy of Lost Odyssey (true successor to FFX imo) and I'm looking to fill the hole in my heart. My JRPG knowledge doesn't extend past Persona and Final Fantasy, so if anyone knows of a really great story based JRPG like those games and has a good recommendation that'd be cool. I'm a sucker for those long journey around the world to stop the big bad dude while dudes make melodramatic speeches. Dunno why.

Even if it isn't it's only $15. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Tales-of-Vesperia/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024e4d07e9 It's basically the closest you'll get to a story-driven JRPG on the 360 that isn't Final Fantasy or awful.

So FFXIII-2 will be $9 with PS+ discount. I played most of the way through FFXIII but got bored and dropped the game before finishing. Probably got something like 30 hours into the game. I heard from several people that FFXIII-2 was an improvement though. At $9 should I take the plunge and get it, or is it still a piece of turd like FFXIII was?

FFXIII-2 is worse than FFXIII in every way except that it is less linear. The story is stupid as hell, the combat system is worse, the graphics are worse, the loading times are atrocious... basically everything about it, except the fact that you have a bit more choice in where to go and some dialogue options, is worse.

Not sure why I didn't get into DQ8, I might check it out again. edit: Oh and I basically own every system except for a Vita so it doesn't need to be a 360 game. cat doter fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Jan 28, 2014 |

Depends on what you didn't like about 13. If it was the battle system, well you're poo poo out of luck and should probably just stay away from the entire 13 series. If it was the story and characters, rest assured that they're still terrible (but a different kind of terrible). On the other hand, if you got to Gran Pulse and asked why the entire game wasn't open like that, then yeah, 13-2 might do some good for you. It's much more non-linear with big open places to explore, but that's about all it really "fixes" from 13.

I remember there being a point where the game asks you to go and find some mcguffin in a bunch of different areas in the game, gives you very little direction, and is basically like "welp you figure it out" and lets you go on your way. So if anything, even the non-linearity has a bad side, because I sure as poo poo love me some poorly thought out long rear end fetch quests! That's when I stopped playing.

Actually the battle system was probably one of my favorite parts of XIII. I actually found it pretty challenging for the most part, which was a welcome change from most FF's snooze battles.

Lysandus posted:What is different about the combat compared to 13? I am still working my way through 13, just got to gran pulse. Basically FFXIII was very very structured. As a result the game knew exactly (or roughly) how powerful you were for each encounter and designed them around the idea. It annoyed a lot of people but the combat system was designed around the idea you couldn't really overlevel. This had problems but it meant that fights were generally designed around the idea that you were using different abilities and staggering enemies and switching Paradigms, or at least the boss fights were. FFXIII-2 does away with that and goes the opposite direction. It is in fact entirely too easy to overlevel in the game and there's no real solid sense of scale since the game is nonlinear. That means that if you go even a little out of your way you end up so overleveled that you don't even have to bother switching Paradigms. So basically it is FFXIII's combat system but way easier and more boring. They made some good changes (you can swap to another character when you die) but the rest of the game is so badly balanced that you can't even really appreciate the changes because you'll effortlessly wreck everything and get good rankings for it.

Lysandus posted:What is different about the combat compared to 13? I am still working my way through 13, just got to gran pulse. They expanded the combat system to allow for new variations on paradigms ("cross" which focuses on one enemy and "wide" which goes for AoE stuff) and you get a monster ally since you only have two permanent party members. Said monster allies range from "hilariously OP to the point of trivializing the area" to "about as good as Serah or Noel at the job", and between that and a few Crystarium tweaks, it's very very easy to outpace the difficulty curve and make the rest of the game a cakewalk. I will say that one of the changes I did greatly appreciate was being able to change who you control on the fly and making it so if that person dies, it's no longer a game over.

If you're getting straight up taken out by Cross-Cleave (like I was when I first played) then you probably haven't leveled up enough to be able to take it, really. Also you should remember that Yuna's defensive spells, especially Protect (is there Protectga in 10?) are actually useful!
