TWEWY is Square Enix's best game.

This is taking Chrono Trigger into account.

It's unusual to read dialogue that's actually funny in a Square Enix game, especially after coming off the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games where they have to deal with voice acting. Characters from TWEWY show up in Kingdom Hearts 3D, but they all talk with huge pauses between each line, probably because the cutscenes are timed to the Japanese dialogue.

Nier's translation and voice acting is far better than most of SE's other games, so it can be done well. However, there's nothing wrong with just having text, especially if you're able to scroll through it as fast as you can read it.

the world ends with you is the most anime thing i have ever seen and will ever see, and i've played persona 3 and 4. we're talking industrial strength, melt-your-face-off grade here. if someone who dislikes anime tried to play that game imagine the scene from raiders of the lost ark where the nazi guy melts. that's how anime it is

TWEWY def has some the most unlikeable, retarded anime character tropes complete with idiotic costume designs and it still warrants playing because it's fun. I loving hate anime but Persona's date simulator high school poo poo is levels worse than TWEWY.

... aaand also go away and don't come back
Ok, my WiiU arrived today. With it comes Mario Kart, so now I need to know which game I should download. I'm leaning towards Pikmin or W101, which is more recommended, or which other game should I be looking at? Monster Hunter is another possibility, but I hear it's all grindy and it takes the fun away a bit.

Also general WiiU game suggestions would be welcomed, I have ZombiU, Nintendo Land, Just Dance (bundled), MK8 and Wii Party U.

I still have Wind Waker somewhere in my loft, might go dig that out as well as a GC controller.

I used a macro in Notepad++ to trim off the [##] and [GENRE] of each line. It took about 30 seconds.


There are some good games on the DS and a lot of stuff that's easily overlooked. The only way you're not finding anything interesting is if you just don't like handheld games, video games, or the DS form factor.

Because they retranslated the game and the Ye Olde English stuff was actually the literal opposite of how he acted in the original version. The original Frog's gimmick is that he was a super-brash young knight who was kind of arrogant and show-offy (which is why his victory pose is making a oversized muscle-pose) and he specifically talked in a more straightforward/rude manner than the people around him.

Their biggest problem is that they have literally no idea how to trim the fat from their mechanics and present them in a straightforward way. Instead it's like 5 hours of needlessly convoluted mechanics explained incredibly poorly, and even for people who would otherwise enjoy the games that can be a huge turnoff. I finished Knights but when I tried to explain it to a friend who was having trouble everything I said came out sound like "floop the pig."

i would rather micromanage characters within a game (riviera) than micromanaging the game itself (knights)

If grinding is an issue for you, don't get monster hunter. The game gets a whole lot less fun when you have to kill the same monster in the same place a dozen times in a row to make some piece of gear you want. It can be pretty slow going.
