Dr. VooDoo posted:Gonna It won't. FF mainline games still actually sell really well and JRPGs sell much worse than people think Most recent figures I can find: FF15 sold more than 6 million, Persona 5 sold less than 2. Lifetime sales of the first Bravely Default were like, 1 million

loving doom holy poo poo. i bet its already been asked given the amount of replies since i last posted but: is doomguy gonna be in smash? are we getting a doomguy amiibo? also doom 16 is coded hilariously well, my rig i built in 2011 runs it at full speed while looking decent. 60fps on switch at 720p. believe it. also im gonna double dip if that boxart is real, miles better than the ps4/x1 boxarts. kinda hoping for a doom/doom2/final doom/doom 64 collection pack too running on some kind of gzdoom with custom wad support via the sd card. do it nintendo.

most people miss this but the Switch DOOM cover art is actually the alternate reversed cover art for the other console versions. I switched it to that cover immediately. I'm happy the DOOM devs realized their mistake and rectified it with the Switch version.

Gumdrop Larry posted:Octopath tickles me just right; I tend to hate faux-retro aesthetics but it manages to really look fantastic. I like how it carries itself overall. Also, I guess we're to the point with JRPGs that I was actually pretty surprised it has full on random encounters in the field instead of dudes wandering around that you run into to engage. Goddamn your av in my field of vision is loving triggering i'm damaged

How do I beat the brigand boss in octopath? I just don't have enough healing items to tank the fight and I don't do enough damage to kill anyone before the boss KO's me with his special attack.

I mean, it's not that Persona 5 had that much of a better story, but it wasn't the hunk of poo poo FFXV was. And, it oozed character. FFXV just had cheeky product placement, drop crotch pants, and barren woodlands. Outside of the battle system being alright, perhaps the worst Final Fantasy game I've ever played. (I skipped X-2.)

With the addition of Doom I'm gonna have 6 or 7 physical games for my switch this year, as optimistic as I've been about the console that's a whole lot better than I expected.

There are five rpg series. Dragon quest, final Fantasy, secret of Mana, Chrono trigger, and earthbound. I think saga is a secret of Mana

SaGa Frontier has multiple protagonists with their own individual, unique plots in a shared gameworld, that's the similarity with Octopath from what they've shown of the game so far.

100YrsofAttitude posted:What's SaGa and how is Octopath like it? SaGa is a series of extremely fun and janky RPGs from Square, which generally feature multiple protagonists to choose from with their own story and a more open-world style of gameplay. Judging from the demo Octopath seems be pretty similar, but missing the jank and with an actual budget.

100YrsofAttitude posted:What's SaGa and how is Octopath like it? SaGa is lesser-known Square RPG series that started as a trilogy on Gameboy that was released in the US as "Final Fantasy Legend," followed by an SNES series of three more games called "Romancing SaGa" that never made it out of Japan until it got re-released on mobile recently, and then a PS1 series of two more called SaGa Frontier during that phase when pretty much every mediocre RPG was getting a US release in the wake of FF7. The comparisons come from SaGa Frontier being structured as seven disparate smaller stories of individual characters that intertwine with one another. Al Borland Corp. posted:There are five rpg series. Dragon quest, final Fantasy, secret of Mana, Chrono trigger, and earthbound. Nope, Secret of Mana is the second game in the Seiken Densetsu series (which started with what came to the US as "Final Fantasy Adventure" and remade as "Adventures of Mana") and is in fact a spinoff of Final Fantasy. raditts fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Sep 14, 2017 |
