Unfortunately, even Derrick didn't really talk about him a lot. There was a bit of "well, I think he deserves it", and "he shouldn't have been removed as an AT", but no real "OMG, HE WOULD BE AWESOME TO PLAY AS". Not the most ringing endorsement, in my opinion. Glad he was a #1 spot, though.
Yeah. I listened to it. It was pretty much "Isaac would be cool. Yeah, Isaac would be cool. He wasn't an AT, that's weird. Yeah, that's weird. HOW ABOUT THAT CRONO?"
He did at least mention the earth based move potential. Although he overlooked the Djinn and the Hand Psynergies.Yeah. I listened to it. It was pretty much "Isaac would be cool. Yeah, Isaac would be cool. He wasn't an AT, that's weird. Yeah, that's weird. HOW ABOUT THAT CRONO?"
Is Pokemon not a traditional RPG? Xenoblade?
Xenoblade definitely isn't. I would argue that Pokemon isn't really either, Pokemon is way different from traditional styles of RPG's as its more of a "collect monsters to help you fight in battle." Not the traditional sort of RPG where its more story-based and you get characters to help you on your journey to save the world.
Nope.
Xenoblade is very MMO-ish. Pokemon is not as deep as a typical RPG. It does have its complex mechanics and elements but it is quite different from a typical RPG.
'd! Twice! Posted anyway since I didn't want to erase it.xD I remember posting that 100 pages ago. Since Camelot works on Mario Tennis so often, I wouldn't mind GS characters making their way into one (marketing plug!!) or having a separate GS tennis game
Golden Sun is very traditional, but I still think it has a lot of unique mechanics to help set it apart. The ability to use psynergy both in battle for combat and outside of battle for puzzle solving is a unique feature, as well as Djinn affecting stats.
Too true.
The only system I prefer to random encounters for handling encounters are the semi-set encounters from Chrono Trigger.
Not all of them. Dragon Que-er, Warrior didn't and that's like the most classic RPG. Well that and Final Fantasy. Which also features variable party members and little dialogue and characterization.
Well... Xenoblade is pretty traditional for an action-based RPG. Even if it has a huge scope, because that doesn't really effect the gameplay... just the amount of gameplay.
My favorite is probably Lufia II, where enemies have a set pattern and only move when you move. Wandering enemies, though, are a lot easier to avoid. Chrono Trigger isn't quite on the same level because you don't always know if you'll actually encounter enemies at given points. Granted, its not random because they are set in one place.
That would be cool. I'd love a sort of Private Action type of system similar to Star Ocean, where you can interact with your party inside towns.
I don't like grinding and bad random encounters (getting a random encounter every few steps), but otherwise I love everything else about turn-based traditional JRPG's.
If its a reasonable amount of grinding I agree. Like, if I skip a sidequest and that would've been enough for me to get the level I needed, or I run from a lot of encounters (I mainly run from encounters if I get them every few steps; drives me nuts), but if I have fun grinding I might do it more.
Yeah, random encounters can get annoying (especially if they're too frequent), but I don't mind them too much. I simply enjoy the feeling of becoming stronger, watching my characters grow. The monotony of random battles kind of make the feeling of earning your levels more rewarding for me. Not everyone will do it, but you know that if you put in the time, you'll be rewarded for it later when you're taking down bosses like nothing. There's something about that feeling that just never gets old for me.
I think random encounters are pretty average in GS. I don't get them too much and I really enjoyed the combat. Still, random encounters can get annoying at times. I'd love it if they did something like Lufia II; that has one of the best types of encounters I've had in any RPG where enemies only move when you move, so its all about trying to figure out the patterns of each enemy and trapping them to get the best encounter you can.
Which is funny because K. Rool and Isaac are so popular right now and they haven't appeared in a while. So its really nice to see. (If Golden Sun 4 is even announced at E3 Isaac would skyrocket. Same for K. Rool announced to be in a new DK game.)
His name is actually Derrick? I understood and wrote it "Derek" in my tweet. Oops.
Wow. Isaac beat K. Rool. Heck yeah.His name is actually Derrick? I understood and wrote it "Derek" in my tweet. Oops.
Just to add something to the nice "JRPGs random encounters", one of the nice things in Bravely Default was that you could choose the rate of random encounters (0/25/50/75/100%). Not the perfect system, but it was still something, you know.
And, guys, you must see this: http://nm.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/32mcez/final_results_the_smash_bros_dlc_reddit_survey_is/
We are doing it on Reddit!
If we continue like this, in October when the Ballot ends, we'll beat everyone including the (imo) pretty silly (at least for Smash 4 DLC) Banjo and Shovel Knight.

Oh of course, I just mentioned Krystal specifically because we know there's a SF game in the works.
I have no idea, but overall there doesn't seem to be any glaring oddities. I'll be honest in saying I didn't expect Isaac would place that high, but in general that seems to be an accurate representation of popularity.
I think you could vote more than once and some guy by the name of "adrsmitey" talks about his "Isaac-Bot" in the comments. All that aside, the results do seem pretty believable and in line with the ones we've seen before.
How about both? Vote Isaac for Smash, get K. Rool free!
I was looking for croc-skin boots, but this was the closest we get.
Well the OP says he got rid of botted votes... so I guess the only thing we can do is take him at his word. I mean Daisy and Paper Mario aren't nearly as high as they used to be. Who knows.
One can only hope~How about both? Vote Isaac for Smash, get K. Rool free!
It's strange none of them have any recent appearances as of late. Excluding Inkling of course, all of them were Brawl candidates too.
"First up, any machine votes that got in originally have been gotten rid of- sorry, bots and bot owners, I know you were oh-so-keen to get DAISY DAISY DAISY DAISY into smash, but alas your effort was for naught. I'm not even in charge of who gets into smash, in case you didn't notice."
Just imagine if Camelot came out and announced support or Golden Sun 4.
As it stands now, being a notable candidate since pre-Brawl, Isaac is probably the longest requested serious contender still with a chance.It's strange none of them have any recent appearances as of late. Excluding Inkling of course, all of them were Brawl candidates too.
New characters aren't being able to stand up to the legacy of these long runners.
The former would certainly help, but the latter would have it in the bag.
