i love all different kinds of spell name callouts. but my personal favorite will always be unnecessarily long-winded spell names. dark star fall. el psy congroo. iirc legend of mana has really stupid and flowery names for each different spell shape for every element and they only appear for a second in the corner in really tiny text as you charge the attack. wild arms is very guilty of spell names that are too big for their britches, and it's my favorite thing.

In Tales of Berseria I find it really funny that the swimsuit outfit you can unlock for Velvet (the one you can get in game, not the one they want you to pay actual money for) is significantly more modest than her default outfit.
For reference this is her swimsuit outfit

and this is her normal outfit

I think you will find that her normal outfit is the waiter uniform, actually.

Though I'm still puzzled by a lot of the things in Velvet's outfit like the chain from the belt to the opposite leg that isn't doing anything.

Velvet is cool but her outfit is dumb and I'm now just wearing the swimwear because I like it better (though with Demon horns to remind everyone that she's a demon)

If you're gonna have a stupid outfit you can at least go creative like Magilou with her skirt made of tomes and her combination witch/jester hat.

Velvet wasn't really paying attention when she threw that outfit together, some things just got lost.

Also, you're right about the waiter uniform.

all questions about velvet's outfit can be answered with "it's how mutsumi inomata draws clothes"



almost every party member in berseria has a different character designer so that's why they're not all dressed like that. magilou was designed by daigo okumura and i can't really find any examples of stuff he's done for the other games

I mean, technically speaking, those ARE different types of cloth that covers a net surface area of the human body. But they seem a bit like they were designed by an alien that does not quite grasp why humans wear clothes

otoh she created the design for one of the best characters in the series, a loud guy with a huge laser cannon and a weird pet alien cat who wants to rule the world but is also a really cool and nice guy



half of his lines are just him laughing really loudly and shouting about how they're going to beat up the bad guy and take over the world. he also has a subplot about making up with his wife who left him to travel the world painting landscapes

I'm playing the first Evil Within (just finished Chapter 6 I think with the daytime graveyard area) and I think I kinda like that game! I do have one question: is getting the glasses for the dude from the dog optional? Or is that a forced objective?

Mash away until like the last boss when it finally stops working, then quit and watch the ending online.

It's not optional. Defeating the dog when you go back in is, though. Generally speaking, if the game wants you to run from an encounter, you can stick around instead and to kill whatever is coming after you to get lots of gel.

A big thing that was hard for me to get into the combat was setting up combos. So, I can talk about what I ended up doing that worked pretty well.

What I did was try to put same element attacks on the same button combo. Since each each element works with a specific status effect and debuff (enemies weak to fire are weak to burn and burned enemies get arte attack down more easily), try to group those together. Also, I would try to keep elements grouped to same button across characters (except for characters that didn't get an element) so that it was easier to switch between them.

Yeah, then what? What other Nintendo exclusives are in the pipe?

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which looks like “Women Are Literal Objects: Boob Window RPG” which doesn’t make it bad, just ehhh scratch that, I thought the female lead WAS the MCs weapon, just transformed? I was misinformed.
