It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with Turkeys!!



I mean, "older SA" is literally before the word meme was in common parlance. Yeah, Dawkins in 1976, Wired in 1993, but I didn't really hear viral internet poo poo called that regularly until the early 2000s.

Edit: Huh, Google Trends shows the term really taking off around 2010.

Double Edit: It's really weird to think that this dead gay forum has been shambling along with at least some semblance of life for 17 years now.

The boss music in Lost Odyssey is great and it's a tragedy it hasn't been ported to PC.

My friend likes to stay a system behind so he can have a huge library of cheap games to get. so I recently ordered Infinate Undiscovery and Lost Oddsey for the 360 at like 5 bucks each. Gonna swap my PS4 for his 360 til I beat those games. Any other JRPGs I should hit up on the 360?

I was worried playing Mercedes in Odin Sphere would suck after two melee focused characters but she's like bringing a magic machine gun to a knife fight.

Just get ready to hear "HERE WE GO" around a million times.
And yeah people tend to dislike her playstyle since it's the most different from the other four characters. It takes a bit to get used to but you can do some fun maneuvers with it and eventually it becomes even more broken than what you describe.

I just remembered this thread! About RPGs!

How are you supposed to buy the Fire Emblem Fates games? Buy one, then the other one on the Eshop or something? I'd know this already if I had a 3DS.

You buy the other campaigns via an ingame shop, like DLC.

So just pick one game and grab the others via the ingame shop, got it. Were the paralogues and Xenologues in Awakening also DLC?

Xenologues were, Paralogues were in the base game and also FreeLC.

Mercedes was my favorite character in the original Odin Sphere, but that largely revolves around understanding that the POW potion entirely makes the character. Not having to Reload completely changes the game.

i haven't beaten tales of zestiria so all i can imagine is a game where you play as zaveid awkwardly appearing in places and trying to kill people for a minute before deciding to just walk away and tell them not to get eaten by a dragon

Finished Mercedes campaign and Oswald feels so boring by comparison. Doesn't help that it seems like he does barely any damage outside of berserk mode either.

She suffers just as much in the game, it's just off-screen, and you never see it, and she never gets any catharsis because nobody cares
