asch... is... cool

Endorph

Asch is 17-20. Luke is a clone of Asch. Luke is 17-20

Brains grow as you age, and 'Clone' implies a replica of all of that person's physical attributes, including their brain. Therefore Luke has the brain of a 17-20 year old, not a 7 year old. He has the same capacity for reasoning and empathy that anyone his age would have.

He only has 7 or so years of experience, but that's different from being literally 7 years old. If I fell on my head and got amnesia, I wouldn't suddenly have the reasoning ability of an infant, I'd just need to relearn things. I'd still be as capable of advanced thought as anyone my age.

You could say that Luke's lack of experience led to both his arrogance and led to him being easily manipulated by Van, and that's probably true, but that's very different from saying he's literally seven years old and the party was kicking around a child.

Yeah. The party wants Luke to take responsibility for his actions. When he does, they accept it and allow him to work towards making things better. Which is kind of how things should be.

It also doesn't help that one of the characters he does whine about could be replaced with a vending machine with a catchy jingle and you'd actually gain something from the experience.

quote:

One way to do that is to take a character and come up with three quick ways to describe them. Take Ryōbi, for example: you could say, “Short fuse, foul mouth, violent streak,” and those are all obvious. But she’s not like that quite all the time, and so, when you’re analyzing the script, you can go one step further and ask, “When is she angry, and when is she not? What sorts of things piss her off the most? When is she the most calm? What sorts of circumstances might help her open up? What is it she wants, besides the raw thrill of being in control, and why does she want that so badly?” By answering those sorts of questions, a localizer can help present Ryōbi as a full, believable character, without losing what makes her Ryōbi in the first place.

Senran Kagura tries to have a serious plot but that is actually one of the things I find weirdest about it. Having characters angst about being abandoned and neglected or the tragic duty of their assassination or whatever contrasts so absurdly hardly with Gropes McBoobs or characters tearing each other's clothes off instead of fighting that it's honestly kind of insane. It also undercuts any possible drama in the game where a dramatic fight to the death between lifelong rivals devolves into them pulling each other's bras off while they go "kyaaaaa~n"
actually, it works really well, and is cool, and all the characters are good.

Personally agreeing with bloodychill, but not specifically about epitasis and more about the fact that this thread is off-topic at least half the time, and that's on good days. It would be nice to be able to click on the vita games thread and actually read about games i can play on the vita.
then why does everyone shout down the one guy in this thread that's constantly talking about vita games

what's the gameplay like in cyber sleuth? Is it like pokemon or what? I never played any Digimon games
it isn't really like pokemon at all, it's closer to a normal RPG. 3 mons out in battle, 6 in reserve, FFX style turn counter on the side and ability to swap mons mid-combat.

There's a lot of mons to experiment with and they all have different digivolution routes and there's 5-6 stages of digivolution, so things are changing at a pretty steady clip. Combat isn't super complex but there's enough there to make experimenting with party set-up fun.

I guess there's a ps4 version of cyber sleuth too? how's the vita performance, it looks like it was vita only in Japan so presumably it should be fine but maybe not?
vita performance is fine, there's a bit of fps dropping on the super big attacks but perhaps the same could be said of all vita games

also protip for cold steel: give laura force and as many attack increasing quartz as you can find, go into bosses with 200 cp on her, have rean motivate and have someone else cast forte, watch her oneshot bosses

my strategy for pretty much every boss fight was 'have laura drop an s-craft, if they're somehow still alive stall until she can get another one'

Some people have a weird obsession with breaking RPGs so they're super easy and it seems like it would suck all the fun out of it
i didnt know 'equipping all the +atk stuff on the girl who's only good at attacking' was breaking the game

for real tho i played on hard and had a good time and it didn't actually one shot every boss, i was exaggerating for comedic effect
