:confused: You absolutely do get them back after the battle, they're even automatically re-equipped for you
My weapons didn't auto equip but they ended up back in my inventory, I assumed they would 'drop' after battle but they didn't so I assumed they were gone

I soured my gaming experience by being too lazy to look at a menu :smith:

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

At a guess, I would assume you fiddled with your equipment on the in-battle item menu, maybe while checking to see if your weapons were really gone, and in the process either "confirmed" your unequipped state or gave them different weapons, which overwrote the game reequipping them automatically.

Yeah, its fine in most games, but SO5 also has unskippable cutscenes which can make certain parts of the game aggravating. People would probably be okay with it if it had a way to skip the cutscenes.

yeah undertale in particular changes the boss' speeches to significantly shorter stuff like "Ahaha! Back for more?" if you lose to a boss and come back

I didn't care for either of these, but that's still neat. More JRPGs on PC is always a good thing.

Endorph posted:

the mobile game is actually pretty decent. it's super budget (the dozen or so male characters have 3 sprites between them, you can construct a party of reused assets) and the little recruitment stories are like a grabbag of valkyrie profile fanfiction - some are too cruel, some are too sweet, some hit the right spot - but the combat is pretty much exactly like VP1 and there's actual additional dialogue from your recruits as you use them in battle and such, kind of like fire emblem supports, which is something valkyrie profile has always sorely needed.

Is there any chance of this getting an English release? I can play Japanese games, but getting Japanese android games is such a hassle sometimes I'd rather just wait.

Bravely Second is pretty fun. Kind of makes me want to finish Bravely Default before going much further. Tried to do just that and forgot I was in one of the chapters to go kill everyone again. I couldn't remember where they all are or the map so stopped that fast.

I like how when the Japanese voices are on in Bravely Second, it sounds like they got a native English voice actor for Magnolia's English lines. If that's the Japanese VA speaking English then I am impressed.

Do you have the hint pointers turned on? The game is pretty much always 100% with showing you where you need to go/do with those on, so it should be a simple fix.

It really is the Japanese voice actress speaking English now that I've played more. She's pretty good at it.

I am thrilled that the pinnacle of the JRPG genre and greatest Final Fantasy in the series is finally coming to Steam. That's right folks, it's Final Fantasy X-2. I know you have to say you liked 6 the best in public company, or 12 or 4 because those are the oh-so unconventional cool choices, but search your heart, and you know this to be true.

i enjoy the fact that ff10-2 requires you to be an obsessive-compulsive lunatic to get the ending that destroys yuna's character development and ruins the plot of the game, because on a certain level it being so obtuse to get is actually fitting. the only change i would make is calling that one the bad ending because it is, it's objectively the wrong ending

I agree, the regular ending is better anyway and now we have Youtube if you're really curious.

I wouldn't say the Tidus ending ruins Yuna's character development. She's able to joke with Tidus, laugh with him, even acknowledge that this is probably just a temporary thing as well. Even if he doesn't fade again, one of them will die eventually. She's accepted the impermanence of the relationship.

Compare to FFX, where she cried during their first kiss.

Are people really arguing about that? Oh wait, it's the internet, I forgot

Jokin aside, I prefer English voices, since I can actually understand them. Nothing is more annoying then needing to have your eyeballs glued to the screen so you can read what is going on. As nice as the Japanese language sounds, I prefer to understand what is going on more than being soothed by nice sounding noise.

I am being completely unironic whenI say FFX-2 had the best combat system of all the Final Fantasy games, hands down.

One of the worst stories, mind you.

If they put that combat system into the FF7 remake, I'd buy it, day one, no questions.
