Internet Kraken posted:This whole Dive thing sounds interesting to me so its why I'm sticking with this despite the horrid character design. I imagine it will be better when we aren't dealing with character issues that aren't literally being "tsundere" See, the issue being solved here isn't "Cass is Tsundere," because that's not an issue that Delta could solve here. These dives always, always have more going on than something like that. Let's take a quick look at the facts: 1. The "root" of the issue here is a conflict over the appearance of the Warrior, which is a giant, evil-looking Delta. 2. The Warrior appeared six months ago. 3. Six months ago Delta tried to open the barrier for no clear reason. 4. Despite this, Cass is still looking out for Delta.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:We had to wait until late in the game for the characters in Qoga to be wearing as revealing of outfits as Nay and Prim wear at all times. And the Qoga characters did it in service of super moves. Prim just... forgot to wear pants, or something. The thing that actually bugged me about stripping was the scenes where you encourage them to take off their clothes to let you program hyumas. A lot of the ladies were really uncomfortable with it. I don't think Feinne showed those (for good reason).

EXA_PICO may be the one universe where being a Luddite has history on your side. To be fair here, Ra Ciela was going to blow up anyway, and they at least got something out of it this way.

Feinne posted:You know, Ar Tonelico/Nosurge weapons are all really great as I think about it. They pretty universally make sense on the thought process of 'we're just slapping poo poo together from whatever's lying around because our civilization is hosed.' I kind of wonder if Croix's weapon is actually some kind of combat drone with the electronics fried. Like it looks like if you ran the rocket engine it could fly around on its own and shoot things.

Oberndorf posted:I stopped playing this shortly after this point in the story, but I don't recall ever, ever having a fight last that long when I played. I recall thinking that there was really very little gameplay in the thing since even the boss fights were trivial. I think this fight, they got one turn before they were dead, and I don't recall doing a whole lot of grinding. Either I magically figured out the obtuse equip system, or something else is going on. Any thoughts? You didn't boost the difficulty. The default difficulty is basically equivalent to "casual".

HR12345 posted:Even though I've played all three Ar tonelico games, I must've tuned this out, but...why is it only females can be Reyvateils? Reyvateils are artificial, and there's an incompatibility with what they did and the Y-chromosome. Of course the real reason is that Reyvateils are used as a thematic cypher for women.

Feinne posted:I suspect what she's wearing in the bath is just Cass' bottom layer of clothing. She's got the parka dress, and then under that is a small black shirt and a pair of shorts (you can sort of see both in her outfit). No, I'm pretty sure she mentions it's a special purification thing.

Poor Kanon is just so repressed. This is another in the long line of "hey don't make people to be tools, assholes" things that we've seen. It's a good thing that Kanon didn't go crazy and try to blow up the planet... wait, poo poo.

So a while back Feinne and I had a conversation about how Beta Reyvateils would be really useful to fight the (Warcraft) Burning Legion, since they don't leave a body OR soul behind to work with. Anyway this spitballed into me trying to recreate General Akane in WoW. This turned out to be REALLY HARD since there didn't seem to be much in the way of royal purple armor or anything resembling the proper shoulder-guards. I feel like I got close enough though:

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:THAT'S what's up with Delta? ... Okay, that has really killed any remaining interest I had in the story. It is stupid. (If you think it's worthwhile trying to change my mind with some sort of justification, don't bother wasting your time.) I'm probably done with this. Personally I actually liked Delta's deal. Now that he knows what's up it'll get interesting.

Blaze Dragon posted:Also Neptunia Re:birth 1 & 2 are on sale on Steam (70%, with the DLC at 71%), so if anyone wanted to follow Feinne's steps into anime-dom, now's your chance. I bought the first (not the second because there's only so much money I'm willing to use at a time, and between Smash's DLC and this it's gone way beyond it), and I fully blame Feinne for it. I'd consider this, but I already have too many games I'm not playing.

Icedude posted:That scene with Delta at the end there really annoyed me the first time I got to it. Still does, really. I spent all this time helping him and stuff and they don't give us an option to not be a total dick to him when we finally get to talk directly to him? Or an option to at least be worried about Ion if you've finished her side first, and ask for Delta for help? It just feels totally out of place that you have no option other than to be an rear end in a top hat or an even bigger rear end in a top hat. In part it's sort of a limitation that will always be present in this sort of thing, you don't have enough budget to create meaningful choices. That said yeah it's lovely and they have room for three options.
