personally i think it's kind of silly to imply that falcom is any less 'anime' than gust, but i guess a lot of that might have to do with not having any official english release of nayuta no kiseki for the psp

but see, falcom is pure of the scourge of The Anime, because it's a thing I like.

therefore, using the word 'anime' to dismiss things i haven't played is completely correct.

I'm on Paper Mario 2 again for some reason. The combination of Rush Badge (+5 attack in Peril), Pretty Lucky (sometimes don't get hit) and another badge where attacks may miss Mario with low health make for some really short fights, but the low health thing is too risky for it to be a viable time saver.

danger/peril mario is actually a tried and true build, i thought

though even outside of nayuta no kiseki, i'm pretty sure falcom has a long history with putting tons of homages to anime they like in their games. i mean, based on what i've heard, the main villains of trails in the sky sc exist because they really liked big fire from giant robo. and one of the characters in gurumin is a big smiling cat named motoro. and the president of falcom in an interview even just said "yeah, the starting harmonica bit of whereabouts of light is an homage to the castle in the sky theme."

Koops has a special that blocks mario from damage. Also where do you get the rush badge, I've been playing it and looking for that badge for my gimmick build but only have the partner one.

I got it after chapter 2, the guy in the central Rougeport plaza sells it for 60 coins I think. Good advice on the koops, he's the only one I have leveled and I have him tank most of the hits anyway.

When it works it's great. Might also make some bosses that hit harder and buff easier. Plus then you get to dump those levels into FP and badge points.

the plot of trails of cold steel also has some callbacks to giant robo, and also lots of other anime, and the final dungeon of the game starts with the protagonist giving a rousing speech about school festivals

Guy and Tear are the non-assholes. They're cool.

She's a bit of a bitch in the beginning, and outside of that, it's hard to be an rear end in a top hat when the only time she's engaged with the plot is going "Brother..." in a very weak attempt to stop him from doing something or by being the reason Luke's bitching this time around. Tear's just very weak as a character and is honestly the worst Tales main female out there, losing out to characters such as half of a goddess split off and on the run that manipulates a dumb kid into following her and then berating him when he's not the chosen one, the original healbot 9000, and water girl sad that she can't get to first base that get possessed by an angry water god.

Kohaku is prob the best Tales female lead when she has all of her emotions but Tear is about on par with beginning-of-game Kohaku who speaks entirely in a monotone/screaming

literally the first thing tear does after she accidentally teleports luke into a different country away from his home is say "okay, i hosed up, sorry, i'll take you back"

tear in the beginning of the game is just a person who's trying to stop bad poo poo from happening and the moment she accidentally fucks up she accepts the blame and tries to fix it, even if the guy she's helping get back home is a whiny rear end in a top hat

no, they berate him for acting like a smug poo poo about stuff he has no idea about. instead of going 'hey, i don't get what's going on here, can someone tell me?' he just whines and complains until someone tells him just to get him quiet for five minutes.

Man how do you guys manage to remember all this poo poo about a game that was released a decade ago? Abyss to me is just a total blur of Jade being kind of ace and there was a stupid blue thing that Luke kicked a lot until he stopped being a dumb kid which was a negative of his character development in my view.

A dungeon crawler, a lot like EO - a lot of the same staff as EO1 was involved, even. You make a party and then explore dungeons. 7th Dragon has a bit more of a story, and it's also a good deal easier than EO.
