I'm pointing out that if turning off random encounters improves the game, why include them at all? If you enjoyed just beating up the trash mobs, then we don't enjoy the same things in a game and that's fine too.

Because there are times when I want to fight lots of enemies and times when I don't want to fight any enemies and wow, the game provides for me both times.

I'm about 1/2 through the last case of game 1. I don't know why, but I am really hating this case. It just seems so stupid.

Last case do you mean case 4 or 5?

Actually, it doesn't matter. If you don't like either case your opinion is wrong and bad

You know, I would really settle for a new Super Robot Wars that's not an Original Generation, if Japanese studios are starting to do Western localization of weird crossover games.

As was recently discussed in the SRW thread, the amount of text in even one of the smaller SRWs is insane. Throw in the licensing nightmare and no one in their right mind is ever going to bother localizing this game for the niche fanbase that exists.

All that said I keep flip flopping between Bravely Default, Xenoblade, and thinking about buying the new Etrian. Help me choose which to play, friends :(

EMD is pure roguelike, so if you like that, buy it. If not, don't.

Bravely Default vs Xenoblade mostly comes down to which flavour of RPG you prefer more.

I hope it isn't just a port, and that it has a different story or something. I do like that you can switch characters mid-battle, that is awesome!

Switching characters who are spread across the map is seriously one of the best changes they made, starting with Samurai Warriors Chronicles. That allows for battle events to never let up.

Is Rocket Slime any good? Finished Ghost Trick and other than the ending being short of hilariously ridiculous, it was great. Lot of DS back catalog poo poo I missed...

The game is split into two main parts. One is the main character (named Rocket) running around in what is basically Zelda-lite and the other is GIANT TANK BATTLES where you launch dozens of random items at reach other.

Oh that's really loving cool -- the PS4 version is gorgeous but I had assumed the 3DS one would just be a bad low-res jaggy port of it; instead it also looks awesome just in a completely different way. Square makes some pretty bad, disappointing decisions sometimes, but when they're on their game, they're on it.

Yeah, now I really wish they'd do this 2D and 3D style for other games too.

So I decided to pick Bravely Default back up after like a 6-month hiatus, and I finally got to That Part. Is there a point where the asterisk bosses' dialogue stops varying between iterations? I'm finally starting to tire of grinding and kinda just want to get the game over with, but I also enjoy seeing the little differences like the white mage and the monk playing dead then running off to gently caress after you leave.

Gameplay spoilers for rest of the game:

Chapter 6 is almost the same as chapter 5 for most bosses, but the Valkyrie, Summoner and Ranger boss fights experience a significant change (they're not initially available, for one thing.) Be sure to go find Yulyana in Chapter 6 at some point, as it starts a sidequest for the last Job Asterisk (I assume you've gotten the Vampire Asterisk already.)

Chapter 6 is also considered to be the 'standard' point to go get the Normal Ending. Continuing afterwards just drops you off back before the Point of No Return, so don't worry about saving yourself out of anything.

Chapter 7 onwards seriously mixes things up, and I think you should experience it for yourself then.

All standard SD cards should work regardless of size. That said, I seriously doubt anyone would ever need a 64GB cards for a 3DS.

Get Etrian Odyssey 4 or Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 instead of PQ if you want a meaty dungeon crawler to play.

You only need to care about stat tweaking if you want to play multiplayer or get huge runs in the postgame Battle facility. The campaign of XY is the easiest Pokemon has ever gotten.
