Maybe they’re like the rear toe on a bird’s foot and they can grasp things with them.

I gotta agree with you; I don't know exactly how but drat if A2 doesn't make that look work.

Is it the fact that the joints/pants are also grey, maybe?

The 'joins' being gray makes a huge difference. Makes it look much more like a cohesive outfit. Give A2 a Victorian-era hat and she could pass for a weirdo Bloodborne character.

In hindsight, it's too bad that the likelihood of the last costume being Emil's old one is super low. Imagine having the whole set of clothes, fists, and headgear.

MGR is the gold standard for uncanny valley cyborg design details, from Raiden's lower jaw to the prehensile high heels that can't possibly contain feet. I love it.

Raiden grabbing things with his high heel cyborg feets was a thing in MGS 4, and they have a sort of dramatic action zoom when he does it for the first time. Then he break dances some Metal Gears to death.

Hey folks. Been enjoying the LP a lot, as usual. Actually, I just wanted to drop in and note that for anybody who actually cares about creaky dying gacha games, the Yoko Taro-penned scenario for Terra Battle just dropped. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's pretty much exactly what you might expect out of a Yoko Taro-penned Terra Battle scenario, which is to say heart-wrenching combined with some "gently caress you" mechanic ideas.

That is all.

Legendary Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and his studio Mistwalker Corporation are continuing to work on his successful JRPG Terra Battle, and just celebrated 2.7 million downloads worldwide.

To celebrate in style, Sakaguchi-san announced that Terra Battle will get a new world and questline by an exceptional team. NieR: Automata Director Yoko Taro will do the writing, the game’s composer Keiichi Okabe will create the soundtrack, and The Last Story Character Designer Kimihiko Fujisaka will handle the character design.

I generally try not to OVERSELL gacha games as a whole because, well, gacha games. But yeah. It's in some ways better than other gacha games, some ways exactly the same even with the pedigrees.

The event should be under "Challenges" under the Arena button and is just called Arachnobot's Tale. You might have to go through tutorial stuff a bit first.

Yeah, the first part of the event is lvl 25 so to see it at this point you'd have to grind like a madman over the next 33 days before the event goes away. Though they have some new player 'here have a good healer so you dont die every match' bonus going on.

Terra Battle 2 is a lot of interesting ideas very poorly executed, rolled out in a package that probably should've stayed in the oven another several months or so. They just launched it mid-last year or so and they're already planning Terra Battle 3, so that should give a pretty good idea of how badly the pooch got screwed on that one.

For some content there will be a stream of Kingdom Hearts - Re:Coded happening in lieu of even entertaining President Dipshit's State of the Union. So come check that out if it's your sorta scene. And if you can't make it, I'll upload a VOD to YouTube.

This is what happens when you take a mobile cash-in with a filler excuse plot, remake it into a DS game, and then remake it again, this time stripping out the gameplay and presenting only the filler excuse plot as a "movie" in order to pad out the content on your overpriced HD collection that will be obsolete in a year or two when the Ultra Complete 4K Collection Double Pack comes out. you get the oroboros that is Re:Coded HD.

Good luck with whatever life issues are getting you down, no need to rush.

358/2 Days has the best story in the series (which admittedly isn't saying much), but being on the DS really hamstrung how involved they could make the gameplay. Customization doesn't mean much when the fights themselves aren't very fun.

I'd see your 358/2 Days, and raise you a Birth by Sleep.

That said, its tragically ironic in hindsight how Days reflects certain aspects of NiER. Especially when it comes to the fates of Xion and Nier.
