bloodychill posted:As someone who historically couldn't stand Nomura and has been posting about it for over a decade, I can tell you it started in heavily around when FFX was in development and FF8 was a recent memory that he was heavily associated with. He started talking about mixing popular Japanese fashion into his designs and what he wanted the games to be about and Squaresoft outright said they were entrusting him with the series because he was "tapped into what's hip." Jokes about Nomura have gone through a lot of iterations but the big ones were always about him putting zippers and belts on everything and mocking some quotes from him about his design process where he talks about how hatred and sadness are his biggest motivations when it comes to work and design. Some seriously emo poo poo.

Almost finished Nights of Azure, if you want an okay ARPG about two girls who were the bestest friends there ever were you won't find okay-er.

Endorph posted:*looking at the greatest combat systems ever put into a video game* What does any full 3D Tales game I didn't list gain from being in 3D? In particular what do they gain that counterbalances taking away the ability to properly protect mages and letting enemies attack you from angles you can't directly do anything about?

 for real though you can just switch targets, and minus zesty (which is one of the games you listed as an exception) enemies don't really much in such a way that full 3d movement would be needed to react to them.

I never played it because it screamed "a Nomura joint" and I still hated him at the time. One of these days I might put in the DS cart I bought a few years back.

One kind of thing that's never going to happen in 3D is a little boss mechanic from Eternia: Undine, the first Greater Craymel, is a "don't just keep firing artes" tutorial. She has an attack, Spear of Baptism, that will gently caress up everybody on the line, but it can be stopped at Reid by his shield. I've always thought that was cool.

Star Ocean 3 has a pretty great 3-D combat system, even if some of the mechanics, like MP death, are just...ugh. But overall it was maybe the one example of a 3-D action RPG combat system in that sort of style that worked well as intended. I never felt like I was fighting against the movement system to move around, and I even got to the point where I can cancel moves into other moves and rack up side kick combos all day long.

I always thought it was a tutorial for the obscure "make everybody jump at once" command. The one that had like one other use in the game at all.

When I got a good career-type job and first had a lot of extra money, early I on I did some stuff that doesn't make much sense like go into a game store and look through their used DS carts and just grab anything under a certain price that I knew wasn't shovelware.

The one that had like one other use in the game at all. It might be that too but it's probably easier and cooler to just stop it. Unless I'm full of poo poo, I guess. Eternia is one of those games I'm afraid I'll be disillusioned with if I play again.

TWEWY was a good game about an insufferable anime protagonist slowly becoming a better dude, and also algebra.

I actually really hated the split screen battle thing because I felt like I was supposed to be paying full attention to both at once and I just couldn't do it. The stress was terrible until I started basically ignoring the top screen but still mashing its buttons randomly to make things happen faster. I have no idea if that was a good plan, but it took the stress away.

Just started playing Tactics Ogre LUCT (mostly to give myself a break from Fates so I can play a SRPG without the constant threat of resetting) and I'm really digging how it's giving throwaway bosses with generic portraits a surprising amount of backstory. I just killed a former art professor fighting on some godforsaken hill of no absolutely tactical importance!

Some of the more dedicated players figured out how to juggle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EqkZ8OEXko Also, Roe Tablet abuse. They make you temporarily invincible, but you cannot attack. However, you can use it during certain spammable skills and the attack keeps going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obk-oMU1JR0

That mode is basically new game+ because the scaling on those old Tales games are like double the stats of Normal.

New Game + doesn't automatically let you keep all your levels but it will still let you do stuff like get experience bonuses and start with end game Cores.
