I think the problem is that part 4 and 5 both have a ton of really good side characters that sometimes steal the spotlight.

This trailer just makes me want to get this game all the more. It looks like there are alternate skins for the characters, so hopefully they'll give Jotaro his part four outfit and Kira as Kawajiri. Maybe even some of the splash art made into in game outfits.

mikeycp posted:Just finished part 5. It was good, but I definitely wanted it to be over well before it actually ended. Yeah, part five just feels like it is way longer then it should be. I think someone else said it best with how every step is turned into this massive struggle; there are just so many individual conflicts that the overall narrative suffers.

I think what most of us agree on is that part 7 is amazing and really more people should read it for really cool stand battles and the best bromance to come from Japan.

I always liked to imagine Pucci was just sitting on a pile of Stand CDs he got from a thrift shop during his stay in Egypt and he just HAD to find a reason to use them. It is the only reason why I can figure out he has so many stands that just seem way too specific to be of any use. It's the reason Highway to Hell, Survivor and Dragon's Dream are there.

Which is why I say SBR had some of the best fights in the series. They were almost never just punching a dude into fine red paste, or how to get to dude to punch him into a fine red paste.

Yeah, I worded that really badly. I just meant that the fights in Part 7 felt a bit more organic because at the end of it most people couldn't just use there stand to end the fight. It felt less like it was the stands doing the heavy lifting and more of the people. No one had a stand like Star Platinum or even Crazy Diamond that would just completely murder someone at close range is more of what I was getting at. I didn't mean to say that all the fights were punching dudes in the face, which I now realise I totally came off as saying. EDIT: and even now I don't think I really explained what I meant all that well. I dunno, the fights just felt more organic to me, like it was a person vs. a person more often than a person vs. a stand. Or maybe I'm just a little bit dumb at explaining things

Endorph posted:Well, it can't be innate understanding, because otherwise Jotaro would have known he could stop time from the get-go. I would equate that to the same way Echoes had 3 acts, but Hirose wasn't able to use all three from the get go. Stands are like people, they can develop over time. Or I'm blowing hot air, but I like the idea that a stand can develop when the user develops as a person, being a part of the soul and what not.

So, I guess this is a good enough place as any to bring it up, but has anyone else been keeping up with the Rohan spinoff? I just finished the first few chapters, and it seems interesting. Feel a lot like a "tales from the crypt" sort of thing, with each story only being connected by Rohan being the narrator. There isn't much fighting, it is mostly just Araki writing weird things he can't fit into a normal Jojo arc. Nothing so far has been as creepy as Jojolion has been lately, but it is pretty weird. I think I'll keep up with it from now on. Also, it gives hilarious look into Rohan's insane spending. Dude bought a mountain. Five of them.

I thought it was really weird at first, but over time I've grown to appreciate it. Usually universal resets are massive cop-outs (looking at you DC)but Steel Ball Run is fantastic and Jojolion is shaping up to be really good to, and they wouldn't be the same if there was no reset.

I remember seeing a picture of a VCR with the buttons being The World (pause), Made in Heaven (fast forward), King Crimson (skip scene), whatever Ringo's stand name was (rewind) and Another One Bites the Dust (previous scene). I thought it was clever.

Jojo is a series that gets better with each part, if only in their own specific ways. Even part 5, what's considered one of the weaker parts, has pieces in it that I think are better than part 4. Mostly the fights not involving Gold Experience.

Yeah, pretty much that. As far as editing and stuff, I think you should try to trim down/even out the amount of words in each text bubble a bit. Like on the bottom of page three, where Hermes is trying to remember Jolyne's name, maybe making the text bubbles read like this: "What are you-? What's your name again? It's Jo... Jolyne, right?" "What about that guard? You said he saw something? What was it?" Doing that will make the second bubble a lot easier to read, as well as making the two bubbles more balanced on that panel. I like keeping two topics separated while you can, and it fits the page more due to both bubbles being around the same size, and now having around the same number of words. You can feel free to edit the actual content to fit the character more, but it is good to try to keep the text on the page as even as possible for consistencies sake. As far as font goes, I can't tell you the one that the original translation used, but I would suggest just getting something bolder over all so when you have to use small font, it will be easier to read.

I'm not too sold on the big bad being the other parts of Josuke, mostly because they had found the actual Kira's corpse in one of the really early chapters. Using the fruit example, it seems like Josuke was a dead body who borrowed the missing parts from Kira, and then leaving Kira with the dead parts. This is assuming, of course, things will always work out like this, but given the series, it probably wont.

Ringo is a character whose power seems really weak on paper but is devastating in practice, and I think really shows off the strength in Araki's direction in fights. Six seconds of rewind seems so worthless until you see a dude take down an entire group with no stress.
