I have been informed that perhaps the hosed up xp curve in BD2 is in fact an issue of UI. In that, there are extremely important sidequests leading to full optional dungeons which the game expects you to do to be on track without grinding, which are hidden in side rooms. There's a button to press to see all sidequests in the current area, but it doesn't show anything beyond a loading zone, so you have to actually wander around to all the unusually-large rooms in each town to check them for quests I still don't like the boss design but it'd be a lot less hosed up if I was a few levels higher for each one

bovis posted:I'm installing Final Fantasy X/X-2 to play for the first time. Is this a good idea thread? Any tips for the first time? For FFX: if you want a traditional levelup experience, use the original sphere grid. If you want to customize your characters, use the international sphere grid. Note that the difference in starting stats between characters is very large so you should mostly keep characters in their lanes. Or at least keep mages as mages and non-mages as non-mages. In either case, try using the first level 1 keysphere you get unlocking the section of the grid with steal and use. You won't regret it.

wuggles posted:“You know primes, the inscrutable object whose true natures have kept us occupied for thousands of years? Let’s make them worse” I mean yeah the primes are a very important concept in the natural numbers with lots of nice properties that go away when you expand the concept to larger number systems so yeah Gaussian primes are worse than normal primes, in that sense

The question you should be asking isn't "are numbers real" but "are numbers useful" and complex numbers are extremely useful

complex numbers are just vectors but with translation and rotation/scaling defined to be addition and multiplication. The up vector, multiplied by itself, becomes the left vector.

Basically, math using vectors works out a lot better when the number of dimensions is a power of two. Octonions are just eight-dimensional vectors. (They're not very useful I don't think) Quaternions, being four-dimensional vectors, are very useful because when you want to transform a 3-dimensional vector (e.g., for computer graphics) you can just pretend it's 4D and do quaternion math.

Mix. posted:I know its like marketed as being a completely separate game, but since a lot of people've been talking about it, is there any reason to play the original Bravely Default/End Layer before starting BD2? I technically own them both but it's kinda hard to go back to a 3DS after using Switch + Vita for handheld for so long, so I'm kinda tempted to just skip straight to 2 and hope they do a port of the original duology down the line. BD is better than BD2 so that's a reason but there's nothing stopping you from skipping, no

FFX was in the weird transition era where fully-voiced games were just beginning to be the norm, but there wasn't really a talent pool built up of voice actors and voice directors with experience in voicing video games. FFX actually has a pretty talented cast (Rikku and Wakka are both pretty prominent VAs in cartoons, off the top of my head) so I'm inclined to blame it on a combination of iffy directing and technical limitations: the game would crash if the english voice line wasn't identical in length to the japanese line, because Square didn't think their cutscene engine through. So a lot of lines are weirdly rushed or weirdly drawn out to make it work.

The entire market is made up of games that "aren't that bad" tbh. Part of the psychology is tricking you into thinking they're being unusually generous when it's actually just industry standard stuff As for genshin specifically, I took one look at the levelup system and the accessories and the weapon leveling system and went "yup this is a mobage system". It's absolutely bog standard.

homeless snail posted:80% of that stuff also applies to ff14, though grinding isn't better than stamina imo, it's much worse. I'd rather have a button to turn stamina into resource than be told "you can grind it as much as you want! have fun doing that for hours!" every time

I expect the expansion after endwalker to be bundled with a skip. No way they don't use the fact that the story is moving on to a completely new arc to address the biggest player acquisition issue the game has.
