True, but Ayesha has scenes with people going "ew books" and Ayesha just kinda shrugs and keeps plugging away at her studies, so her devotion to her studies is something the game actually draws attention to, and I liked that.

Not a single one of them doesn't grow from untrained novice to Literal God of Alchemy in like three years tops. Hey, Escha and Logy were both partially trained novices to start with  I really like their dynamic.

Man, I had no idea I was this close to finishing Xenoblade Chronicles. That was a shame. It ended so quickly, it's Superstar Saga all over again. I was totally prepared for another two or three plot beats after Dickson.

anyone who's interested in playing the early saga games should give the wonderswan remake of makai toushi saga a look, it's basically the same game but mutants have more sporadic and significant stat gains and it has qol stuff backported from final fantasy legend 2, and there's a complete fan translation for it

credburn posted:I only briefly played the PS1 game. Something about the way they moved made me nauseous. The 3DS version is like, the most lovingly well done amazing port of a terrible, terrible game. And I hear the PS1 version was so much longer and drawn out. Dragon Quest 7 tries to do some interesting things with JRPG conventions, but it probably would have been more successful if it had been a bit shorter. In so many RPGs, "monsters exist" is the status quo and maybe they'll stick an NPC in the first town who will say something like "lately there have been monsters around, be careful if you leave town" or something. But DQ7 goes to great pains to show you that monsters don't exist in Estard, and when you finally do go through the first portal you come to this town that's under siege from monsters, and you see how awful it is. Since none of the places exist in the present, you can infer that if you don't intervene, they'll be destroyed, and to me that sort of elevates the threat of the existence of monsters

With all the isometric RPG love that's been coming our way recently, I figure it's about time that I fill the Baldur's Gate shaped hole in my RPG cred. Reason I've never done so before is that I've always disliked the real-time pause battle system. I was reading earlier today that the old Baldur's Gate games have the ability to run custom AI scripts? Does anyone have links to how to get into this (i.e. necessary software, relevant variable names etc)? I'm an academic in operations research (optimal decision making), I'd love to play through the games via a self-imposed gambit (i.e. FF12) system. EDIT: Found this: http://www.pocketplane.net/tutorials/simscript.html All seems pretty straight-forward. Going to be so fun. Arcanen fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Sep 25, 2017 |

i want to know if there's actually a joke here that just didn't get translated in the gb version because of text limits or it's just something the fan tl threw in. i'm gonna guess it's the former and a lot of dialog in this fan tl just reads way more naturally because they had more resources to work with

I hope Xeno 2 has the Japanese voices because the English voice acting in the trailers is loving terrible. They obviously had to choose between 'people who could do an English accent' and 'people who could act' and went with the former.

I never will not be amused when people say that Xenoblade, the game about the big-eyed teenage protagonist wielding a magic laser sword to battle giant mecha on a quest to eventually murder god, aided by his childhood friend (also scantly-clad robot secretly possessed by a goddess), big-busted sniper, plucky best friend, ronin samurai mentor, magical angel elf and marketable cute mascot character, is not anime or somehow qualifies as 'not that anime' for whatever reason that involves not admitting you liked basically the most goddamn JRPG JRPG on the planet.

Xenoblade is super anime. Xenoblade 2 also looks super anime, but it's a different genre, and one that is significantly more obnoxious. This isn't hard

tbh xenoblade 1 had a really boring aesthetic. some of the vistas were nice but the character designs were super bland. the character designs in xb2 at least have primary colors.

This isn't hard I don't actually understand what genre difference you think is there. I feel like people point at the opening of Xenoblade where the protagonist's village gets destroyed and he gets angry and swears revenge and forget the literal rest of the plot where friendship, courage and justice overcome all. Xenoblade X with its mostly-adult cast of castaway soldiers on an alien planet making alliances and struggling to survive after the destruction of Earth is more Different Genre than Xenoblade 2 which looks basically the same as the first.
