The Friends are always super cagey about spoilers with Persona in particular so the most they're going to talk about it will be like 10 seconds of "Game's good" and a spoilercast 3 months after the game comes out.

Captain Invictus posted:at least you acknowledge it. Yeah, apologies for not being a True Super Best Friends Play Zaibastsu Fan. Turns out you don't have to like everything they do. Who knew? Edit: Also the "spoiler-free" talk can be just as annoying. In the last podcast Liam and Woolie were talking about some anime (Under the Dog or something?) and it was ten minutes of dancing around something that no one in the room had any idea about. "Oh man, that thing with those people at that part was SO AWESOME... but we can't talk about it" gets old. HoboTech fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Nov 18, 2016 |

I hate hearing them talk about JoJo too, so you are not alone there. Also Persona, but sometimes it impossible to avoid like this podcast.Dias posted:Pat and Woolie won't be culprits of spoilering anything about P5, I hope. It's gonna be me sending them spoilers on their twitter.

Pokemon is also still a JRPG with tons of repetitive gameplay that will result in them stopping to pay attention to the game and miss it when something important DOES happen, just like FFX and now Megaman. Which is not to say that they cannot do JRPGs. They just need someone who actually knows the game really well on controls. Chrono Trigger was massively smoother than either FFX or Megaman for that reason primarily.

Lping JRPGs is a fool's errand, they must play only the simplest of games that cannot be failed, like Kirby.

JRPGs are fine they just have to not be long ones and there has to be more research done than none at all (or at least have somebody start out liking it to begin with). Despite the poo poo Matt got for FFX they did pretty well actually, they just weren't "optimal" which is almost never necessary in most JRPGs to begin with. Give me the Parasite Eve 2 LP (to pair with the original), or something like Suikoden. Why are Woolie and Liam doing Command Mission when they both like Lost Odyssey? Pat yells at Chrono Cross is still something I'd think would be fun. The Xenogears video was one of the best parts of mechaweeks, etc. I know the latter three they're not confident at all about but Pat didn't want to do the Silent Hill 2 LP for the longest time and it turned out to be super interesting.

I think SM could be good to LP, there's way less downtime between stuff, it's more packed together with stuff happening and lots of cool pokemon to use. That said, idk if i'd want the best friends doing it.

A Pokemon LP, headed by Liam, with support by Woolie. Sounds like another 30 part, 12k views-per-video success to me. Let's make it happen.

FFX had a lot of annoying things like Matt and Woolie asking each other for a minute about elemental weaknesses and strengths when the information they were unsure about was displayed to them on the interface the whole time. Everything else was good, and the LP had a lot of very good shining moments, and it was all very much worth it for those. But gently caress man, the whole thing would've come along much better if Matt had invested time into the game before starting the LP, because his memory of the game from when he had originally played him was very much not enough.

VolticSurge posted:At least we got Grand Wizard Wakka outta that. I say that's a fair trade. Agreed. I also think that's a big part of it. Final Fantasy has all of these weird characters and events that are fun to make jokes out of. Pokemon is... kinda samey (to me, anyway). Like by default the main character has to be a bland nothing-person so the player can impose their own self into it. I'm sure the villains have a bit more character than that, but I don't know too much about them to say one way or the other. Hell, the most fun thing about the Nuzlocke run was the names they picked. Maybe I'm wrong and the Sun and Moon games are these vast sweeping epics with really interesting characters and crazy plots..?

Sure but none of that mattered, because the game is not actually that difficult. In fact he remembered more about the boss fights than I did. Now say if that actually kept them from being able to play, to the point where an Omikron event happened and they had to take a break, yeah maybe I'd say there were problems, but all occasionally healing the enemy does is make for a funny moment.

That's pretty cool, then. At least they're attempting to evolve (PUNS). I haven't touched one of them since the originals came out, but that has more to do with JRPGs in general than Pokemon in specific. Mostly I'm just hoping for the LP of the first Dark Souls. Likely won't be until after the final DS3 DLC (if any time soon at all), but I hope they do include Matt again.I rescind all my previous criticisms of having three people on that LP.

In general though I would say that most of the RPGs from people's youths were not actually that long until maybe the PS2 era? I've gone back to too many games and been surprised at how short they are.

They could probably do a Four Job Fiesta as a series of streams on account of FFV not being too long and also having a dumb as poo poo plot to make jokes about. It probably shouldn't be all four of them, though.
