They're cool little gameboy games that came out stateside as "Final Fantasy Legend" and they're more or less centered around being short and being made up of short series of world maps you explore around and figure out how to progress in to the next world map.

Been trying this out a little bit lately, and it's pretty fun even for someone like me who isn't that into fighting games. I accidentally made Iggy fart on Polnareff's and was instantly convinced this was in fact a Worthwhile JoJo Game

Stands are best when they involve utterly insane pseudo-scientific bullshit that is countered by even more insane pseudo-scientific bullshit. Therefore, Weather Report is the best. Q.E.D.

CubeTheory posted:Anyone wanna try and explain to me the end of part 6. This is what I got. i could be wrong. Pucci attained Stairway to Heaven. this Stand works using time manipulation (and Gravity I guess?) to accelerate time for non-living creatures. Living creatures still experience time at the same rate, which results in things like a day going by in a half hour or so. Pucci himself, because he is the Stand user is selectively immune to this effect (this matters later) which lets him move at super speed. Pucci's insane Stand lets him kill the entire hero crew apart from Emporio. In the Jojoverse it turns out that time is cyclical, so Pucci accelerates time to the extend that the universe dies and is reborn (I think because the rate of time movement accelerates so much no one dies in the vacuum of space for the billions of years the Earth isn't around and such, because that only lasts like an instant). Because people have now completed an entire loop, while they themselves have been accelerated through a universe rest, their "soul" somehow remembers the entire course of universal destiny, which means that everyone knows on a intrinsic level the course of their lives and such, which Pucci things will bring people peace and happiness. Everyone who died since Pucci got his stand in the new timeline is replaced by a new version of themselves and destiny is compelled to follow the same course until Pucci "acquires" Stairway to Heaven again (otherwise the entire reset would be pointless, one of the effects of Stairway to Heaven seems to be telling everyone the future and then preventing them from doing anything to alter it). In order to pre-emptively kill his opponents, Pucci slows the time acceleration way before he acquires his new Stand because he knows where they are what everyone will do. Pucci knows he can win because he is, as mentioned before, selectively immune to his own Stand's effects.This ties into why Dio originally sought Stairway to Heaven, as he would know the future and be the only one able to change it, he would essentially control the world's entire destiny. Pucci hadn't accounted for the fact that Emporio had Weather Report's Stand disc, which he then uses to kill Pucci. Because Pucci was killed before he was due to acquire Staiway to Heaven, this creates a kind of time paradox which causes the universe to reboot itself again, this time with no Pucci and no soul-memories, with only Emporio recalling the entire adventure. In the new universe, I THINK Pucci never existed and so "Irene" and co grew up differently, whether solely because of Pucci's absence, the reset causing a kind of butterfly effect or a mixture of both, who can say. The butterfly effect ties in with Jolyne's visual design at least though that's probably a similarity I'm just pulling out of my rear end.

Hasn't [GRAVITY] been used as a concept as early as Part 4 to explain why so many stand users end up in Moriyoh and why Kira always ends up lucking out of certain defeat up until an ambulance runs him over? Coulda sworn gravity was a thing long before Part 6.

Yeah but I think that was used more to mean destiny, or just people being drawn together, which is a thing in part 6, but C-Moon also controls actual gravity. I mean, this is shounen so batshit equivalence of different things is par for the course.

Prison Warden posted:Because Pucci was killed before he was due to acquire Stairway to Heaven, this creates a kind of time paradox which causes the universe to reboot itself again For Stairway's effects of everyone being able to see their own future to become permanent, Pucci says he has to complete the cycle, which means fast forwarding time until he reaches cape canaveral. Pucci doesn't complete the cycle because he says he has to kill Emporio first or Emporio's fate might still be to escape the prison, reach the cape and possibly kill Pucci. Unfortunately for Pucci, in his rush to try and kill Emporio, he instead punches Weather Report into Emporio and gets killed. As he's being killed, he begs Emporio to let him complete the cycle to make the effects permanent, and that if he dies before it finishes he doesn't know what will then change when it all snaps back. Ironically, for all of Pucci's belief in fate, destiny and the resolve to face them, it his immunity to Stairway's effects and him trying to interfere with fate that ended up getting him killed. Just like how him trying to interfere with his sister's relationship ended up in her suicide.

For anybody interested in JoJo merch, there's an awesome blog called "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure...IS ART" that showcases both popular and more obscure JoJo- or Araki-related merch, magazine scans, etc. The layout is sorta a pain in the rear end and can only be viewed one entry at a time, so I suggest using their image list or going in a specific tag. An interesting product I found on the blog was a JoJo typing game. The disc's design is pretty rad, I have to say. Apologies if this has been posted before.

This and it's implied that Dio had actual gravity in mind for what he was doing too because why else would he tell Pucci to go to a place where actual gravity is a bit weaker? He (and Araki) must have really liked A Brief History of Time or something. If you really want to get technical, Gravity as Destiny and certain people being drawn to one another has been part of JoJo since Phantom Blood. Or at least that's the conclusion Dio came to, anyway.

Aurain posted:Jobin seems to be the kingpin of the Rokakaka dealing ring and there's surely more than meets the eye to those. I'm not so sure on that last bit. Unless I'm forgetting or have overlooked something, it feels more likely to me that Jobin was just dealing with the rockmen crime syndicate (to save his son). Is there reason to believe Jobin is the boss aside from his stand being potentially really powerful?

I agree that Joubin is most likely Josuke's enemy by circumstance rather than design. There's definitely someone else behind this. Joubin may be their penultimate pawn, however.

i feel like he's gonna come into play later and have to make a difficult choice, but it'll be siding with the 'good' crew eventually. i mean, yeah, he's kinda been sinister as gently caress so far, but the whole goddamn family is eccentric as gently caress and i'm certain he's mixed up in this to save tsurugi.
