actually sorry to keep harping on rockpapershotgun but i just remembered this quotequote:I wonder how a more female-oriented Atelier game would fare commercially. Just dress the girls in more reasonable outfits, replace the lolis with some pretty boys, add a dating system and dress-up/house customization features. bro the series is female-oriented bro why do you think a female-oriented game needs dress-up and house customization features. bro some atelier games have those things bro

we have to make this series popular with girls, my first suggestion: remove any female character under the age of 25

also this isn't a jrpg, or racist, but i mainly remember them being one of the few major sites to review Hollow Knight in the first few months of release, and panned it because of boss fights

the western vs jp perception of atelier thing is so funny because those games are literally in 'games for girls' sections of a lot of jp game stores you could argue ryza leaned into the fanservice elements a bit but ryza worries about rent so, whatever, she can wear short shorts if she wants to

Disposable Scud posted:Is there any reason to not play Trials Of Mana instead of the original release? Also sorry I missed this: honestly play Trials, it's a better balanced game (the changes to spells alone in an action RPG kinda mean I give it the edge full stop*), it has more content, and it's a real gem of a port especially after the underwhelming Secret of Mana "upgrade". * The original game functioned like Secret of Mana where most spells just hit a target, no dodge. Now even the nastiest boss attacks are a little more MMO-like in that they'll mark an area and you need to not be there, sometimes using this to turn some bosses that were RNG-heavy in the original into more active encounters where you're dodging around and trying to beat a timer to stun them and prevent an annoying phase where they fly off or get out of reach... which you just couldn't stop in the original.

This entire conversation is reminding me of that time some game journalist got really angry or something about Dragon Crown's artwork being the way it was. Really stupid thing to do on their part.

incidentally i was looking up goty lists from 2011 just because i wanted to see how many people actually had Dark Souls at all, and huge shout out to the two gamasutra voters who, for 2011 GOTY, voted for Groove Coaster, and Solatorobo: Red the Hunter

More games need to allow you to wear cute fluffy outfits. No, I don't care about the setting. If I want to wear giant cute dresses in Skyrim I should be allowed to.
