Hey.

Hey kid.

Come closer.







































Ya like dags?


The most inframe shot of him you'll see in this LP


Tales of Vesperia (テイルズ オブ ヴェスペリア or "Teiruzu obu Vesuperia" in the glorious Nippon language) is the tenth main title in the Tales series of video games. It was developed by Namco Tales Studio and published by blah blah blah you can read the wikipedia article here.

Vesperia is a JRPG. In my experience, JRPGs almost always contain dumb teenagers with rainbow colored hair and relationship issues saving the world for no other reason than they're bored while fulfilling animè tropes such as "protecting others" and "having a hot-springs scene". Seeing how I have some experience with one of the previous titles in this series, I suspect that this one will be no different.

"Now Kuvo", you may say, "why are you LPing this game when its obviously you won't like it?". For the same reason I watch bad movies; to make fun of them. No one likes to watch bad movies by themselves, but get some friends (and alcohol) and you can have a great time. To facilitate this, joining me in this LP will be Geop, Minifoo and Vicas (later on Adus and Admiral H. Curtiss sub in too). All three of them are LP veterans, and are (IMO) funny guys. They also all have either played or beaten this game, which is good. Because I haven't.

"Kuvo", you may continue, "don't you know that blind LPs are never good!". While I would normally agree with you, the last one we did didn't turn out so bad. Plus Minifoo will be fighting in battles along side me, and Vicas knows the game so he can steer me in the right direction if when I get drunk and lost. I don't know what Geop will be bringing to the table, but expect awful puns.

"But Kuvo, If Geop is making gut-wrenchingly terrible puns over cut-scenes how am I suppose to relate to these animê people! Talking over dialog is the NO. 1 LP SIN!". I originally was going to volume duck our commentary whenever the characters talked but after doing a test session I realized that they're talking almost constantly. Additionally, this would create a ton more work for me during the editing stage and would stifle the flow of dialog between the commentators. Deal with it. If you absolutely need to know the dialog, Admiral H. Curtiss did a SSLP of the game here.

Why Vesperia?
You voted on it.

I thought you were streaming it?
I had planned on it, but now FF14 is taking up all of my free time.

Is this going to be like Symphonia where you sucked at every fight, paid no attention to the game, got drunk and yelled and even passed out in a few episodes?
I can't recall the events you're talking about.

How often are you going to release video?
Was planning on Mon/Fri, but in all likelihood it will be whenever I feel like it.

Can you upload a version without you guys talking over everything?
No.

Why do you do this to yourself?
Rationalization for my alcoholism.

Will you fight the super secret tsundere badger boss?
If Vicas knows of it and he thinks it's funny, probably. PM him if stuff like this exists in the game.

What happened to the drinking word?
They led to bad things. Though if you want to follow along at home, Minifoo suggests blastia and aer.

Why is the dog named Pangloss?
You can change the names of the 7 main characters though the status menu, which is reflected in dialog. I think it's funny to name them on a theme, and I try to drop hints throughout the episode. If you're too uncultured to get the references (or too lazy to google them), here's a list

01-12: original names
13-17: some stupid poo poo
18-21: anime words
22: THIS EPISODE IS CANON
23-26: Characters from The Big Lebowski
27-30: Callsigns from TOP GUN
31-33: Characters from The Legend of Galactic Heros
34-37: the 7 deadly sins
38-42: Characters from SDF Macross
43-46: Characters from Dune
47-50: Characters from Twin Peaks
51-54: Characters from The Brothers Karamazov
55-60: Characters from Planetes
61-65: Characters from Kurt Vonnegut novels
66-70: Characters from Candide
71-75: Characters from Cave Story
76-80: Characters from The Diamond Age
81-85: Characters from Catch 22
86: The Monty Python cast
87-91: Characters from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
92-97: Characters from Cromartie High School
98-103: Members of Castlevania's Belmont clan
104-109: Characters from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
110-111: :iiam:

Made an attempt. Interest and attention to detail tapered off uh almost immediately.

Where's Repede 1
Where's Repede 2
Where's Repede 3

Aka "Where's Repede's Tail" or "Where's Repede's Hashpipe" or "Are you sure that's not a pommel?"

silentbrains posted:

Oops, kinda forgot about this. Recently got some free time to do things, though, like taxes and looking for an dog in an anime videogame.

Where's Repede 4
Where's Repede 5

Spending so much time looking for this character has given me many ideas that I think would greatly improve its design.

The arrows are part of the design and should be bound to the nearest joint(s).

silentbrains posted:

Where's Repede 6
Couldn't find as many Repedes post-Yuridoll as I'd hoped, maybe the investment will pay dividends later (that or I'm poo poo at my job).

Is the video supposed to be in widescreen? Because porting it into Polsy (and... a lot of other videos into polsy, now that I think about it) box it up and scrunch the video for no actual reason.

I really don't have any spoiler policy but use common sense. Things like pics of alternate costumes are fine if you note that it's a spoiler. Just don't make this thread read like a FOIA released NSA document.

Remember that spoiling stuff for me will probably make it less funny when we get to it, not to mention piss off other viewers that haven't played the game.

Its good to have a protagonist that see's an opportunity to troll and acts on it. And no matter how many times I hear it, Yuri's "Prepare to die Eggbear!" Karol impersonation is just gold. Props to Troy Baker for the great delivery.

Also I don't think ignoring the HP/TP bars is the game's fault.

It's not, but they could have the character say "I'm out of TP" or make a 'error' sound or have an animation of them shrugging or something. I thought the bindings I set didn't save because there was no feedback. From a UI standpoint its bad design.
