Re: Final Fantasy Creator Finished with the Series, Sees Himself as a Player

I am not surprised but it was a pipe dream of mine to see him return for one chapter, it would have been cool. It’s pretty neat he still lays and enjoys the series and he is way less conservative and mind-caged than some FF fans.

Sad that Lost Odyssey is not being considered for modern platforms…Blue dragon, no thank you 🫶🏻😅

Re: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (PS5) - Familiar FromSoftware Brilliance

I don’t want to be perceived as overly critical but for me “more of the same” doesn’t really apply to DLCs the same way it does to sequels. We are buying it because we want more of the same… I was perfectly satisfied with FF16 dlc and it was precisely more of the same, and I’d gladly buy more of Stellar Blade if I could.

Re: Sony Game LEGO Horizon Adventures Reveals Footage in Nintendo Direct

@Ralizah Eh, I mean …a couple of samey Nintendo mid/low tier projects that have yet the same tone and characters. I honestly would give Ballad of Antara a try over them anytime if I had gaming time to spare 🤷🏼‍♀️

Excited for Metroid, it’s good to see the project is alive and I hope they are planning to release it on the Switch successor as well

Re: Final Fantasy 9 Remake Is Almost Certainly Real as Another Database Leak Appears

Nei

Sadly it won’t probably be nearly as ambitious as VII remake project and more just like a cosmetic update … and people will praise it like it’s a good thing because they actually want to play the same game over and over again. But hey, surprise me.
The original is fabulously charming but too conservative gameplay-wise compared to other installments for me so it ranks as one of my least favorite games in the series…

Re: HoYoverse's Bid for World Domination Could Include Anime Crossing on PS5

Nei

Nintendo games, generally, aren’t my cup of tea, aside the occasional outstanding gem they put out every 10 years or so.
But there is something about seeing young girls playing Animal Crossing… that really makes me want to call social services, and lecture them about staying in school and develop a personality.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 529

Started NG+ on Stellar Blade to get the last ending and collecting the remaining cans. Really robust Ng+! Hopefully I can do I it all before Akuma drops in SF6 because then I will be very busy beating a lot of wannabe edgelords demons with female characters and Blanka:P

Re: Japan Sales Charts: Stellar Blade PS5 Sales Hold Strong

Nei

Totally deserved! It’s such a fun game to play!

Stellar Blade performing better than Bayo 3 is a testament of how much Sony missed out not picking up Bayonetta 2 publishing rights. It’s a series that would thrive much more on PS/Xbox than Nintendo.

Re: Rumour: SEGA Wants Persona to Be an Annual Franchise Alongside Like a Dragon, Sonic

^ yeah if we have to count the spin offs as well, we have been receiving one game a year for a while.

Also I need some kind of change in the next main episode, the rigid nature of the gameplay loop has kind of worn me out.

It could be something as simple as not attending high school during the day and exploring adult life…I am sure being a salary man or office lady has plenty of hardships.

Persona is actually one of the few IPs I have clear ideas about things they could implement that would make everybody happy without turning the franchise upside down, like multiple main characters (with different age, occupation, gender, social class) that lead to different introductions (think Dragon Age Origin) and perspective to the story. Or daily-life boons for each arcana - let’s says you can manipulate people with extra dialogue choices if you are holding a persona of the devil arcana, chariot gives you a boost in sports/mini-games, lovers let you get more charisma points from stat boosting activities, moon gives you a perk in night time activities, magician lets you see secret doors, strength has no perks but its personae are really strong in combat and so on…
