XBC is definitely not for everyone, a lot of people bounce hard off the combat system and if you're going to play an 80-hour RPG enjoying the combat should be paramount to the experience, and it makes perfect sense why you wouldn't like them in that case. But if it's the stories and/or the characters, that's where I have to concede that we just have way different expectations and tastes in JRPGs.

Anyways, who's getting fire emblem engage at launch?

I am for sure. I've watched almost none of the pre-release stuff. Basically to sell me on a Fire Emblem game, you just have to be a Fire Emblem game. I'll be happy if Engage is more like "classic" style Fire Emblems like the pre-Awakening ones, or if it's more "srpg with life/dating sim stuff" like the more recent ones. I like both. I'm not picky.

Plus it comes out two days after my birthday so why the gently caress not? Happy birthday to me!

I don't know what I'll play in the meantime though. I just finished up Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Persona 5. I'll need something to fill the gap... I still have Persona 5 Strykers waiting, and I never got to play Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes past... one evening of playing the demo. But either of those would probably take me more than a week to get through, I'm guessing.

Too many games, not nearly enough time!

That was Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Which was bad, though not because of vagina bones, or the lack thereof.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was a good game with a lot of style and heart that deserved so much better than it got. And yes, I will die on this hill.

Actually he does not wear pants, as he is basically a diver so he wears a singlet-like base layer under his diving suit. Please pay more attention next time OP.

Tidus was fine as a FF protagonist even with the lovely writing and average voice actor. The outfit was hilariously awful though.

I'd argue further he was actually a really GOOD character (as far as FF protags go anyway) with a well-realized arc, and the infamous laughing scene was intentionally cringey in context. The outfit is by far the worst part of him, and while he's not the worst in the game (see: Seymour Guado's hair) or the worst in the series (see: Nooj and many others from FFX-2), he's the most well known.

I've got the opinion, that I guess is controversial, that the character designs are terrible and the gameplay is really not what I want to spend 100 hours doing

xbc2 in particular just has the worst designed characters I've seen in a game so highly regarded. I couldn't help but laugh when they put a couple in Smash

I don't like Xenogears or -saga either so maybe I just don't like whatever team that is

It seriously does. I previewed FFX2 recently and I'm not ready for it, but I look forward to it. I loved the battles in X best in the series up to that point.

That's not remotely Tidus' personality though. He's a genuinely nice dude from the very start of the game.
