I would have thought a giant person traversing the world in a few strides would break immersion more than that

I feel like it worked better back in the sprite days but that may be a function of my own age.

modern jrpgs work on like a ground-detail level, but i seriously could not tell you where any of the cities are in relation to each other on the meaningless world map in berseria

I'm on camp "Use shortcut to travel in persona 4" over moving manually. I do not have the "tolerance" to repeat an action 50000 times for the exact same, simple result of moving to a spot.

I didn't have much of an issue with that in Berseria, though in playing FF12 again I'm having that problem (Especially when I can't just teleport to an area for a Hunt or whatever) even though the the presentation is actually pretty similar to Berseria's.

Okay, so not only is Last Recode an impressive remaster collection it also is adding a fourth volume. I mean, I'm sure it's not going to be as long as the other three, but the fact that they're adding more story is cool.

Finally got around to playing Nier Automata and I can't even begin to fathom what kind of trip it's gonna take me on this time after the original. I was unreasonably happy to see Emil has the same english VA  . Though I am nothing but confused as to why Popola and Devola are hanging around the Resistance Camp.As for where I'm up to, BE-COME AS GODS

Continue to play the game, even after you've beaten the final boss. The endings go in cycles and you've got to load your clear data to keep things rolling.

Nier Automata was spectacular. Keep us updated. Both Dark Id's LP thread and the Nier Automata thread are relatively safe if you want a place to read. Though of course don't go to the end of the LP yet. And the Nier Automata is filled 95% with black bars so it could be dangerous figuring out where to scroll your mouse. But it's safe to ask questions if you ever have any.

Sakurazuka posted:All world maps are big empty nothing you have to traverse and I dunno why people seem to like them. Chrono Triggers was okay because you didn't get random encounters so you could just move where you liked I guess. I've been replaying bof3 and I really like how it does world map encounters, an exclamation pops over your head and you can go in if you want or not.

that's the same system wild arms 2 and 3 use, it's pretty much the best way to handle random encounters i think

Nah, wild arms does that per encounter. The thing he's talking about is that you can randomly decide to go to a field from the world map with random encounters on it.

Well Ending A of NieR: Automata was a surprisingly sweet and happy one. I can only wait to see how hosed in the head things go from here  .The Machine Suicide Cult sure was a hell of a thing though.

Some thoughts on Route B; I swear it was only one Goliath-class in the city in Route A. Why is Nines recognising the tank in the desert? Why is there now a Tank in the desert as well as the amusement park?  .My current wild-guesswork theory is, unlike the original Nier, these Routes aren't cyclical with variations, but sequential somehow. Just to keep myself from being accidentally spoiled by replies remarking on stuff ahead of where I am, I'm currently just heading into The Forest Kingdom.

Route b is really just route a except with a few extra cutscenes and the ability to hack stuff. Its not as impactful as route b in the original nier, that's where they introduced that new character right? and changed the whole story? Route c gets a lot more interesting. I would just rush to it if you dont have any sidequests you're working on. Its definitely not worth re-exploring the whole world and talking to all the npcs again on B like I did looking for differences or new dialogues. Don't skip cutscenes, though, even if you have seen them before.

But I think you have to do all the awful Jackass quests first and so on. They're way less awful if you aren't level fifteen or whenever they first open up.

I've actually gotten an email from her talking about trying a fish (I haven't done any sidequests with her), but I can't find wherever she is in the world. She's not at the Desert Camp, so I've no idea where else she might be. edit: I wasn't ready for Emil's mobile shop. Oh my god .

Ohhh, you bastards. Just finished Ending B. (Big spoilers, obviously) Welp, Humanity's wiped out, and by the sound of it it was... was... poo poo, there was an old man around 3400CE... right?... I've also started Route C and holy poo poo things are going off. *BOOM* Bunker explodes! "Directed by Yoko Taro  ". Is there any particular order or pattern recommended regarding which Pod goes with whom?

"the opening credits are 30 hours into the game" is still probably my favorite video game moment of 2017. edit: I just alternated routes whenever the choice came up and found that works best. Zaggitz fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Aug 4, 2017 |

Oh, and if you're going for all the achievements, its stock varies by location - specifically, there's weapons you can only buy when he's by the Resistance hideout and another loadout with rarer materials that are a pain to farm that is also semi-near the Resistance hideout, it's hard to describe
