Sakurazuka posted:The tone in it is kinda, I don't want to say inconsistent, but it is a game that looks and sounds closer to, I dunno, Nier maybe, but is absolutely a story about love and friendship saving the day and shooting cool magical girl laser beams at giant monsters. It's a difficult game to recommend, for more than one reason, but I have a real soft spot for it. Nights of Azure is the same.

Endorph posted:It doesn't, really. The australian rating board is draconian garbage and that dude made a weird post. Blue Reflection has some moderate fanservice in it and a few goofy scenes but nothing that I'd call deserving of anything more than a T, and certainly not 'nudity related to incentives and rewards.' Unless your definition of that is a random scene of a character in a school swimsuit.

Endorph posted:I think it's just based on the whims of the rating board. Like, you could apply the same argument to Trails of Cold Steel, and that game only got a 15+ in Australia I'm pretty sure. If your game includes anything vaguely approaching sex or nudity or drugs, I think there's probably a fine art in choosing a demo to show them that won't set off any of their "instant R18+" flags, yeah.

I have a plan to fix this. We just have to intimidate them into changing the rules by saying "If this seems sexual to you, then you must be a closet paedophile!". Works every time.

Barudak posted:Edit: I do want to stress the translation is staggeringly bad and is very clearly translated by a Chinese speaker to English and they arent great at English. Words will be misspelled constantly, unequip is "dismount", everyones gender changes constantly in conversation which makes it extra hard when they are body swapping in narrative too so tracking who is being talked about becomes difficult, and the game will do things like in one sentence say "Divine Being" while in the very next sentence have "Diving Being"

I guess Sega own Creative Assembly now. They could tap them to make Total War: Valkyria.

chumbler posted:Punishing use of auto battle would be very dumb because having to navigate the menus to pick alternating thunder and water or whatever attacks of the appropriate physical or magical type every single turn would be extremely tedious and distract from the actual thing you're supposed to manage, the paradigms and to a lesser extent TP skills. There's no reason it should not be used except for like sentinel because the AI is kinda dumb for sentinels. Punishing use of it would not make people like the combat more, it'd do the opposite.

It's weird. If you made another game that tried to really focus and build on what's different and interesting about the combat in FF13, I think it would pretty quickly stop being an RPG and turn into an RTS. There might be something to that, though. I'd be interested to see someone try it. Are there any real-time tactics games out there where you play on the scale of, like, an MMO boss fight?

I think it had Mizuki Nana in it as a magical cyborg samurai lady. And there was this one girl whose super moves were all named after metal bands..."

NikkolasKing posted:Somebody on Reddit recommended me Dark Souls 1 and 2 for vaguely Vancian system but I have my doubts. All I know about Dark Souls is you need reflexes and the ability to spot boss weak spots. If I have any skill at all in RPG playing, it's in the total opposite direction of that. Turn-based for life.

I don't really get why Sony think it's their problem in the first place. The mainstream moral crusade against video games is well and truly over at this point. What do they care about some random D-list third-party publisher's optics?

Ulio posted:I mean people can say some niche Japanese devs have a problem with how they portray minors in appropriate situations but those are pretty niche games even in Japan. Senran Kagura isn't topping the lists in sales like Monster Hunter or Pokemon games. Meanwhile in the West we have Last of Us 2, Mortal Kombat X which are extremely realistic in their depiction of gore and those games are some of the best selling Western games of this generation.
