There's quire a few of these. r/NSCollectors maintains a spreadsheet of releases. Aside from Okami the other Japanese ones I can think of off the top of my heard are Bayonetta 1 (long, long sold out), Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 ("Rockman Classics"), Battle Princess Madelyn, Stardew Valley, and Odallus/Oniken.

I almost bought the Japanese Katamari Damacy REROLL ("Encore") since the NA GameStop exclusive sold out quickly in December--they apparently shipped a single copy to each store which were promptly gutted and sold--but Amazon Japan was also sold out and GameStop restocked it last week. Now I'm actually stuck with two NA copies, one sealed which I might try to offload for $40 to offset the shipping costs, or I'll just return.

Whoever asked about FFX-2 fanservice stuff, job swapping in battle has these goofy sailor moon-esque animations but you can disable those in the menu.

I know this question came up pretty recently but I can’t find it

anyone have any experience with those kits that put a dock into a smaller shell? Any specific brands that are good?

Love the idea of a more portable dock for travel, but as far as I know those kits are the only safe method still.

the big thing to know about x-2 in advance is that if you want to 100% it you will absolutely need a guide because there is some real goofy poo poo that you wouldn't think to do / wouldn't think counts towards percentage completion

and even if you don't want to 100% it you should still go check out different places and not just following the main path the whole time because the game is honestly a little short if you just stick to the main quest stuff

Also the 100% ending goes completely against the game's theme of letting go and moving on. I mean I get that it's literally the manifestation of will deciding that Yuna deserves a break after all the work she's done but come on

Also the music is horrible

I think we all know what fan-service looks like and sailor moon isn't it. It was more about how risqué or not where the costumes, but if the massage scene is the worst of it, it's fine. There's far worse things out there.

Good to know, thanks!

I definitely managed to get Bayonetta 1 at only a moderately painful markup (it wasn't too long after release) and strangely enough Katamari Reroll was the first time in the last twelve or so trips to Gamestop where I bought a "new" game and they didn't "only have the display copy left".

Anyone who hasn't played ff9 should do so. It's a great game with compelling characters. It's really something special.

I don't find it to be particularly fan servicey. I mean it is, but its not anything worse than most other games. Its certainly not Bayonetta or Quiet levels of fanservice.

yeah the bar for skeevy fanservice is so much lower now than it was back in 2003 lol. the actual grossest part of x-2 is rikku's older brother constantly talking about how horny he is for yuna, his cousin

I hope the FF9 is the remaster version with the QOL stuff. It's the one game in the series I always feel guilty about not finishing because I honestly kept falling asleep during loading screens.

Not to say it's the only game I never finished, just the only one I feel guilty about not finishing.

it 100% is because that was done on unity exactly to make cross-ports like this easy

Yeah, this has been my experience as well. 2 is just a shoddy prototype for what SaGa would properly refine and 3 felt like a slog. Every other one I've played has had some really high points.

FF14 is still the best modern FF though IMO. Five years running, baby!

I always wondering if he was either some next-level troll, or just really that dumb. I wanna go with troll, but I think I know the answer. Navigatr and Retsupurae are a wonderful combination.

The original thing was a public access TV show called "Flights of Fantasy" by a guy named George Wood. They were actually made and aired contemporary with the release of the games they were covering with, they weren't made later as some weird sort of period piece. At some point the media company Navigatr bought the rights to the recordings of the show and rebadged it as "Gaming in the Clinton Years" because presumably they thought there was value to be had other than cringe.

Anyway, because it was a public access TV show I'm going to bet that it's 100% serious and George Wood thought he was a genius for that idea.
