I’ve seen like four of those, partially. One Piece, all of Fringe except for the last season, a good chunk of Community and the first season of Breaking Bad.

So, assuming I’ve seen nothing - for easier math - and would watch all of these, how many hours are we looking at?

Finished Xenoblade X. I did chapter 9 and then quickly finished maxing all classes and reaching max level. Afterwards, I was laser focused on the story. I initially planned to continue side quests afterwards, I was sitting at just under 50% completion for Mira as a whole, but Chapter 13 was such a let-down, I quit afterwards. I wrote more about the new story in the monthly JRPG thread.

(TL;DR: I preferred not having any answers over the ones we got.)

Now, I’ve just started Star Ocean Second Story R. I’ve only played Divine Force before and weirdly loved it, despite people mostly hating on it. I don’t have any opinion on Second Story R yet.

Ain’t no home without enough open space for all kinds of push ups! If you’re daring, you could even do other exercises too!

A lot of the combat comes down to whether or not you like tweaking your build over and over. There are so many things you can change - active and passive skills, equipment, equipment augments, Skell equipment and Skell augments - all for up to 4 characters, although you have quite a bit more freedom over your main character. If you’re not into that, the combat can feel slow and like you don’t make much of a difference.

However, there’s a new feature in the Switch version that does help with that. You now have a sort of MP bar you can spend to re-use skill without waiting for their cooldown. It’s quite generous, automatically refills for each battle and can be increased even further.

That being said, you don’t have this feature for Skells until you beat the entire story. Skell are overall the worst part for me to be honest. Once you unlock them, nothing else really matters in casual play. They are leagues above your ability to fight without them, but they don’t scale at all with your level or any stats. Just their equipment and augments, which are more limited than for ground combat. The only thing your level does is unlocking more Skells at Lv 50 and 60. The Ares 90 - the last one I unlocked - is so strong, I basically one-shotted everything in the last chapter without even changing anything.

Wenn man die ganze Liste im Artikel liest sind einige Namen leider passend für die Narative der AfD. ‘Ausländische Namen’ sind überrepräsentiert, verglichen mit einer generellen Liste der häufigsten Namen im Land. Z.B. Ali ist hier auf Platz 8, insgesamt aber nur auf Platz 122. (Erstbestes Suchmaschinenergebnis; Sogar nach Geschlechter getrennt, anders als die Liste aus dem Artikel.)

Reicht zur Hetze. Ignoriert natürlich auch komplett, dass diesen Leuten systematisch Steine in den Weg gelegt werden.

Die einizig korrekte Sache wäre es gewesen den Drecksverein zu ignorieren bzw. auf den Datenschutz zu verweisen.

And of course, you would’ve guessed it, the stock went up.

I’ve got good news for both you and people physically close to you!

I’ve only seen them in Germany, but they’ve got at least all three Kanto starters, Pikachu and Mewtwo for shower gels and Charizard, Lapras and Jigglypuff for bath additives!

We even have a Pikachu toothbrush and Pokemon themed tooth paste. All available at your average grocery stores around here.

Spent the whole month playing Xenoblade X DE, which I finished just two days ago. I quite enjoyed the original release and did enjoy my time with this one as well. Knowing the game already, it was fun to kind of break it. I maxed both my level and all classes around chapter 9 out of 13 and got the best Skell available. However, the new content kind of took the wind out of my sails. I originally wanted to do all side quests after the story, but now I feel like I’m done. I knew the new lore could never hold up to expectations and theories I held for such a long time, but I still didn’t feel it.

TL;DR: Xenoblade X was better without the added content. Sometimes open mysteries are more satisfying than bad answers.

There is a big difference between Ryza and the other two. Up until Ryza came out, the games used a traditional turn based battle system. With Ryza, they introduced action elements into the gameplay.

Personally, I’d recommend the later. Atelier, to me, is mostly about the crafting. I want to abuse the crafting system, which is somewhat different in each sub-series, to create gear so strong I basically don’t have to think about combat. With the new system, once you achieve that, battles are a lot faster. But it’s fun too, not just faster.

Other than that, you can take whichever you feel like. I haven’t played an Atelier I didn’t enjoy. They all have enjoyable characters. Keep in mind, the early games have time limits. I don’t quite remember if Sophie or Ayesha have them, but Ryza doesn’t.

Oh and I’ve heard the newest one is quite weak. But you didn’t mention it anyway. Apparently they gutted the crafting…

How did he even know it’s edible for him?

The original one probably doesn’t know, but I’d consider myself functionally immortal for as long as there are other vampires who didn’t age for a couple hundred years more than I did.

As the original one, however, I’d never stop checking for new signs of aging. Well, at least until I’ve had enough of life altogether.

I spent my time once again with Xenoblade X. Currently preparing for Chapter 9, Lv 67 and 33% of Mira done.

I don’t think they truly understand their audience. Everything before the endgame is just a tutorial in MH. Yet, they usually ship the endgame with the DLC .

Then again, it sells anyways.

My equipment is filled with EXP augments. You can get these preinstalled from the shop, they get better when you level up the Sakura manufacturer. Or you can craft the 40% one quite cheap early on only using material tickets. Set one to each piece of armor for a grand total of at least 200% extra. (It may be capped at a 100%, they are so cheap, I never bothered testing).

My teammates are only lv 33, I didn’t given them any.

The other ingredient was simply fighting stuff up to 10 levels above me. If you succed you easily get a full level early on.

Xenoblade X continued to take up all the time I spend gaming. Got a bit carried away with side stuff and reached Lv 40, currently inbetween Chapter 6 and 7.

Just got my Skell too, but I honestly don’t like them much. Ground combat feels more dynamic, Skells don’t level in any way and the hefty repair cost doesn’t match my playstyle of stat checking every living thing I come across. Probably why I’m so overleveled.

Just like in the WiiU version, it will probably get relegated to cheesy grinding tactics, if necessary, and flying.

Wouldn’t have expected anything else. The two types of people I’ve mostly seen buying the Switch 2 are those who are really into Mario Kart and those who are into Pokemon, for the extra frame rate.

Neither of these groups is known for buying 3rd party games - at least not the ones I know.

You see, that’s your problem. Companies don’t make games for any other reason than money. Since there are no microtransactions or subscriptions available, they quite frankly don’t care if you ever play the game after you’ve purchased it.

They moved a lot of units already and considering it’s only a side game with reused assets, they made a profit. Therefore, the game by all means is a success for them, even if nobody would play anymore.

Concurrent players also shouldn’t influcene future sales by much, since you only need 3 people at a time

Ignoring the initial growth, I wonder what got implemented during the big upticks in ‘crap’ and the one for ‘fuck’.

So, how bad is this decision, if at all? I don’t think I care for Balthier or Luso. The extra classes would be nice, I guess. Was there anything else?

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, above all else.

That being said, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 1 and 2 are awesome. They combine SRPGs with the usual SMT combat - I don’t think I’ve found something similar yet.

You move around like you would in any other SRPG, then you can attack enemies in range to enter normal turn based combat - however, at most, you can only play out 2 full turns before combat ends. Afterwards the next unit moves. Each unit represents a squad of up to three characters you will be batteling with, usually a human and two demons. Depending on your squad, you may have different movement, range and abilities.
