Today I resubbed to FFXIV and entirely by chance stumbled into someone doing a live concert in one of the hub cities using the in-game musical instrument, that was really cool

I know right? I mean, nowadays it'd just be a lovely virtual pet mobile game with gacha elements but drat if the chao garden wasn't the best thing to come out of the sonic adventure series

I spent ages making godlike Evil and Good chaos that could win every race. At some point I stopped playing SA2 for the sonic part and just cared about the chao stuff

One time I used cheats to max out a chao's stats just to see what max possible running, flying, power, etc would look like. When it came time to try out cheated maxed flying, the chao was so good at flying that at the start of each race he would take off and never actually land, forcing me to exit the race and accept a loss.

He was too good. Too strong.

I posted in a chat thread a while back about my flying chao lieutenant dan, named so because I gave him a ghost and his legs vanished, and I'm happy to report that after posting he went on to clean out all those flailing children weighed down by their legs in the rest of the races

that is not entirely inaccurate to how the tv show depicted battles honestly

if anyone was curious as to why Liu Bei threw his son on the ground, iirc it was a show of love to his friend because Guan Yu could never be replaced, but he could have another son

It's funny how Liu Bei is the closest thing RotTK has to a protagonist, but as a westerner who isn't invested in the literature or the history he just seems like a colossal dumbass and the clear loser of the era.

Cool. That's that game by the ragnarok online people yeah? I think that's what it was called at least.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I spent a few hours playing Dissidia NT and I think I'm going to buy it, just not right away. I really like the system so far and I love how the battle chat options seem thematic for each character. Like Cloud and Squall have short, terse chats while the character from XIV and Ramza speak in more flowery language. I know the demo doesn't cover everything but it seems to at least show options that will be in the final game, which has me worried. I don't see the Labyrinth/RPG mode that was in 012, and there's no where to see what a characters X attacks or unique skill are before playing, and even then the skill doesn't have a description. Some are obvious, like Cecil changing from paladin to dark knight, but some seem like buffs and I'd like to know their specifics. There's also no menu for equipment, which was pretty important in the previous games. The RPG mode and the equipment options are what give the game a lot of its depth, so if they aren't in the final game I don't know what would keep me engaged for the long term.

Yeah no RPG mode means I doubt I'll pick it up which is a bummer because I loved the PSP games. I understand that this is an arcade port so it's much more streamlined, but I guess just the fighting mechanics alone for me aren't enough to keep me into Dissidia, I want the whole goofy package with RPG character development and party building and equipment and poo poo

Yep, it was created by a lot of the same people that worked on Ragnarok Online. It's not a bad action MMORPG, but it needs a team that is able to give it more attention and polish. The playerbase is very small though so I don't think the game is going to really grow that much. Although it did just recently get an update that upped the level cap and added new classes.

It's been replaced by bell peppers as 'thing Japanese kids hate to eat' but you still get a classic ref every now and then, like in Neptunia.

The disadvantage to playing through Dragon Grandpa with my friend is I kind of want to keep playing, but can't in good conscience do so until we meet up again, which ins't happening for like another two weeks.
