Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!

That....doesn't make sense imp clearly points out which anime genre is takes from.

Okay.
Then XCX feels like one of those weird slice of life animes and XC is just a normal jRPG. Does that work better for you?

XCX feels so different that it's almost like it's not from the same series/developers at all.

lets talk about how paper mario 64 for the nintendo 64

i finished replaying the first chapter yesterday and i was kind of surprised at how brief itwas, there wasn't even any partner dialog, which is something i've never really noticed before going back to it with ttyd more fresh in my memory.

Paper Mario 1 is very much a rough draft for TYD, from the tedious backtracking in Flower Fields to several partners being copy-pasted into the sequel with more personality mixed in

What’s wrong with it? Isn’t it just 1 but with nicer graphics and more modern gameplay?

I still think it's the noses. Modern animes and anime games have dot noses - just look at Cold Steel. The Wii probably couldn't do them that fine so everyone has huge schnozzes.

Perhaps the real joke is that XCX feels more inspired by Western works than anime. The sequel baiting stinger at the end feels straight out of one of Marvel's projects.

why are jrpgs so intrinsically linked with anime anyways? is it all because dragon quest and akira toriyama? the early final fantasy games borrowed way more from d&d, they didnt really go full anime until seven

because theyre japanese

Hey for $20 that’s all I really want.

Can’t wait for Kiwami 2 to come out. Honestly I’ll probably even pick up 6 once it’s out in English. I need to judge it for myself instead of trusting Japanese reviews all the time.

It is Yakuza 1 but with minimal updates, recycles most of Yakuza 0 without being as good as it, and adds the Majima Everywhere system which is the definition of Too Much Of A Good Thing.

Has anyone played Dragon Quest 11 yet? How is it? Worth looking forward to for when I get my PS4?

Actually what RPGs should I be hyped for as a soon-to-be PS4 owner? So far my wishlist is:
Witcher 3



I dunno. I haven’t done much research.

DQXI is Very Good and has some cool twists on the traditional DQ themes if you're familiar with the series. It's also Very Pretty on PS4. The characters are mostly cool, though a couple are kind of one-note & the story has been pretty engaging so far. It's pretty long though as I'm roughly halfway through @40-ish hours and completing a lot of the side content.

Also there's a pink thug.
