Supposedly the remake is either Chrono Trigger or Super Mario RPG. Take this with a huge grain of salt.

I've been trying to ration this single grain of salt ever since Geno got last minute dummied out of Brawl. This remake is taking forever. drat Iraq War putting it on indefinite hiatus. I'm sick of the "Real life conflict, would be insensitive to make video games right now" excuses, Nintendo!

I would've expected an Earthbound remake before an SMRPG one based on how much more often I see the former brought up online. The clay-ish look of Link's Awakening would look great in that style.

For some reason I remembered one of the two games having 'em, but I think I'm confusing it for the change in the battle system itself (first game was turn based, and I think the sequel was ATB)? Either way, excellent! The main thing I remember is that (mechanics spoiler, I guess?) item cards in your inventory were affected by time, so a 'food' card could like, rot and turn into a new card.

...I don't like ATB systems. :smith:

With the story chapter select Triangle Strategy is pretty much perfect. You can replay all the chapters, skipping the plot and try different combos to your heart's delight. It's great. Glad they decided to add that in.

What I like instead is auto-battle. I hope this auto battle though is more than just doing the basic attack, the best ones, the AI takes over and uses correct spells / attacks for you. Although how Baten Kaitos works, I think that isn't really how the combat works, there isn't really a basic attack if I remember correctly. its been awhile and I didnt finish the first game.

I love my NYXI Wizard, but a) GameCube button layout took a little getting used to again and it’s hard to switch back now, not a huge issue for me but it could probably be weird for some games and b) it’s pretty chunky, but I loved the OG Xbox dukes so that’s a selling point for me over teeny tiny joycons. Gyro, regular rumble, hall effect, comes with octagonal or round collars for the sticks that are super easy to switch out.

Either way they need to get the English voice cast back (the dialogue was probably the best part of the game in my opinion), maybe they could lean more into the series’ roots for the next one as well since Uprising was basically a Star Fox clone (though that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing in my opinion)

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Looking forward to this upcoming direct announcing a Xenoblade Chronicles X remake version for the Switch that's actually a finished product.

Including a new DLC storyline that ends with a teaser of the Conduit showing up on Mira.

Went back to Pokemon Violet after a while playing Tears. Holy gently caress this game's presentation is a joke

On one hand, it's unfair to compare Monolith soft (including TotK and BotW) to non-Monolith soft games.

On the other hand, Pokemon's the single most valuable IP on the planet and their games come across as low-budget afterthoughts.

I meant more that they might not even have the rights to the music and Sony Music Entertainment Japan does which is one of the most restrictive companies in the industry on how their music can be used, by whom and innwhat regions. Also a lot of the vocal artists that particular composer always insisted on bringing in have since left their representative companies in the last decade or so. I can just see it being one of those huge Japanese music industry politics disasters as seen in instances like Dragon Quest where Square Enix never actually owned the rights to the music which was owned by that huge racist nationalist guy Koichi Sugiyama.

Frankly I wouldnt care too much if they just redid the soundtrack entirely as I'm really not much of a fan of that guys music since about 2011 or so when it was apparently decided every other track needed grating vocal components
