Upon further reflection, isn't it kind of weird that you can name other people

I assume everyone's names are set in stone in FF7R considering the voice acting

or maybe all the dialogue is like "Hey, guy from SOLDIER"

I keep seeing kids complaining in roblox about getting scammed by trust trades.

A trust trade is literally someone you don't loving know comes up to you and say "hey do you wanna do a trust trade" and what it's supposed to be is you give them something really rare and valuable for nothing and then after the trade they'll trade you back something as valuable or twice as valuable and give you the item you gave them initially. Instead what happens is you give your poo poo to someone and they loving leave and then there are lots of complaints in chat about people getting scammed.

It's dumb!!

What jrpg has the best party? I like the xenoblade chronicles crew the most, i think. They all rule and never stop feeling like they have a good reason to be traveling together. Any dialogue they get never feels forced, like how in some games there will be cutscenes where everyone in your party gets a line, and its just like one by one quips that are just written because they had to be. In xenoblade i never felt that, any lines they get feel natural to the conversation. Theyre just a really great crew

This is gonna sound annoying but whatever you do, don't run away from battles. You'll hate it because the encounter rate will feel real fuckin bad at times, especially in places where the environmental design makes it look like you're moving slower than you actually are, but you've still gotta finish every random encounter you get into. If you run away too many times, it'll tank your pirate ranking to Coward and it's hell to actually get it back to normal. In the late game, there's a part where your pirate ranking gets changed automatically to something else but your real pirate ranking still exists, it is just hidden from you, and since Coward kinda overrides most other ranks, you're stuck with a bad ranking that is a grind to get rid of and you can't even pull up the menu to check what your real ranking is because of the fake ranking masking it, and what's worse is that to get rid of the fake ranking, you need to do some optional content that is gated behind your ACTUAL ranking being above a certain amount. It is very annoying.

2 other important things: special attacks always hit loopers and there will be a point where you can go dock at Maramba and there is nothing stopping you from doing just that, but whatever you do, make sure to go back to Sailor Isle and pick up subcannons to equip to your ship. This is incredibly important or else you will have a much harder time later when you are forced into a boss fight that will be much harder to complete without subcannons and that brief period of time before docking at Maramba will be the only time you get to pick up and equip subcannons.

Thanks for the advice! Quoting so I can find it later!

If you get the original item back, how is it a trade? I'd also say something about jobs at startup companies if my labor were really rare and valuable, but it's very much not which entirely ruins the comparison.

I know I've been on about the shadow hearts series a lot lately and I don't know if I'd say this is the best party ever but the main trio from Koudelka is at the least one of my favorite jrpg parties of all time because their voice acting is really good and all 3 of them don't particularly like each other and you can just absolutely feel the loathing each of them has for one another and how their relationships progress as they journey deeper into and discover the horrors of this terrible Welsh monastery they've all been brought to.

Just watch these, it is so great. The third vid you only need to watch from the time I linked til the 25 minute mark.

In the terrible MMO I played as a kid (Tibia) I got scammed when a guy invited me into his house and asked me to show him my rarest piece of equipment. I thought it would be ok because we were standing in different rooms but as soon as I put it on the ground he cast the spell to ban me from his house, leaving my weapon behind

i was never able to trust another human being

I don't loving know. I think it's a challenge that maybe started on tiktok or something I don't know and it's just a challenge people do to try to scam others like another about people scamming others into giving them their pets and promising to duplicate them.

They can get a lot of things for free with ingame money but there are some rare items only obtainable with real money that the kids trade away in these trust trades. Parents get mad either way and are going on about how their kids are refusing to eat or come out of their room or the kid is crying a lot and the parents are suffering and that they demand the team give the scammed kid duplicates of whatever items they lost whether they spent real money on it or just lots of ingame time making ingame money. Or if they lied and the scam never took place. Like never had the item in the first place or can't be verified that they ever had it. The parents should do better parenting, make sure their kids know about this stuff and avoid con artists.

Man if the Batmobile controls were tighter this could have been a knockout game.

Like had they marketed this better and not gone the "Totally 100% a brand new character guys" route, and just fully leaned into the Red Hood story line, you could have done a lot of the plothooks differently.
Though I suppose having Batman in the dark and the player going "It's Jason Todd" for 90% of the game until the actual reveal would have been pretty dumb as well.

Ah well. I'm enjoying my time with it.
Positively gorgeous game, and all signs point to the Court of Owls as the plotline for the sequel.

i mean, what's the quote they use in civ 4 for Rocketry? "the rule of thumb for the rocket enthusiast is, always assume it will explode" or whatever? he knew the risks going in--and i don't mean that in a "he brought this upon himself" kind of way; more, he accepted the risks of his hobby and enjoyed pursuing it anyway knowing that it could have, and has in the past, gone pear- or as the case may be pancake-shaped.
