Velvet is great but I also think that outfit but intact would look amazing. I am disappointed primarily in that perfection is almost within reach but never grasped.

I'm sorry, I just wanted to say I think it's weird that every other Tales makes jokes about characters not wearing jackets when one of the most defining ones went out of its way to give them jackets.

(You can actually buy winter jackets in Berseria. It's a bonus thing that has nothing to do with anything and is never mentioned.)

I'm trying to think of the sickest but shortest-lived fit in rpgs. There's definitely at least one.

ok i started playing Soulestination because I been meaning to dive into Tactical Nexus next year and it seem like a good prelude.

2 hours in and having fun. Def worth more than the 1.19 it is currently going for on steam due to the sale. Looks like it does a lot of nifty stuff the deeper you go in.

Yeah, I'd say Soulestination tries to be more of a standard RPG, Tactical Nexus is allllllll mechanics sicko mode poo poo. They're both great imo but unless you're ready to treat a full dungeon like a mechanical puzzle box and optimize to solve it, maybe do Soulestination instead of TN.

Yeah, I think the outfit being all shredded up and haphazardly patched together is an integral part of the design and it's a really neat way to sum up Velvet's character in a stark and obvious way.

I thought there was a version of Velvet's default outfit that wasn't tattered, or am I thinking of something else?

honest question am I just completely approaching Soulestination wrong because I tried it out and couldn't even get to the first gold key in the prologue - granted this was on hard but AFAICT from the description the only difference that would cause this early on is potion value, and it feels like I'm falling way too short for some extra HP to be the solution

like I don't think I'm terrible at this sort of routing but I seem to have just hit a wall immediately

Now that's good jerky!
I liked the intact outfit a lot. I thought it was a cool look when it wasn’t in shreds. I found it a little busy otherwise.

That and a man screamed in my face in real life when I mentioned it once, so it’s a little bit spite as well.

honestly tn is such a weird game that I just gave up a long time ago trying to figure out what sort of person to recommend it too. super unique and intricate puzzle rpg experience. spent 500 hours on it in 2022 and I have no regrets but also it kind of feels like a fever dream

probably something from Resonance of Fate. I took every chance I got to buy new clothing and switched all my poo poo every few battles

the fashion standard set by RoF is insane. every other single-player RPG is playing catch-up, if they are even playing at all.

I was sad that while you do get to keep the Mardi Gras outfits for the Hero and Sylvando in DQ11 there's no way to keep or reacquire the clown outfits Rab and Hendrik get for the parade march.

The protagonist's 'main' outfit. It's fine, pretty flashy and distinctive.

The disguise outfit, which I just think looks way cooler. It obviously evokes Tir McDohl but I just think it looks cooler.




He has two other outfits too but I like his 'disguise' one the most.

It kinda sucks that Suikoden 5 has a NG+ mode and that mode doesn't replace the prince's stupid default outfit with his not-Tir-McDohl one. Or the knight outfit, or his regular royal clothing... The outfit he wears for the majority of the game is honestly the worst one out of all the ones he wears.

I think this has to go to Freyjadour's Royal Commander outfit, as you see it for like ten seconds of a single cutscene in the true ending of the game, and it fuckin rips
