Good to see a fan of Chrono Cross. Scars of Time is without a doubt Yasunori Mitsuda's magnum opus of music.
That entire soundtrack is a masterpiece, one of my favorites to this day!
Good luck convincing the average Nintendo fan to acknowledge anything made by them before being bought by Nintendo.
"Yeah sure, but does the Nintendo logo appear when booting up the Xenosaga games? Didn't think so huh?"
Chrono Cross was actually my first PS1 game back in the day! By far the most criminally overlooked RPG on that console, I listen to the soundtrack at work to this very day. My hope for a third Chrono game died a long time ago, but man what I wouldn't give for some sort of a port or remaster of Cross. Glad to know I'm not the only one nostalgic for that game.
True. But I'm sure Namco would be more than willing to allow Sakurai and Nintendo to put her into Smash if that's what Sakurai wishes.
*What Nintendo Wishes. Nintendo picks the characters for the DLC, only input Sakurai has is if he can make an moveset for the character. Which, we know from the Byleth interview that for those games in development they need final designs for the characters and what they'll use in their moveset also need final, fully modeled... models. Though for existing characters I'd imagine just enough source material. An example being like... there ain't enough for say a Creeper from Minecraft as it only walks, jumps, and explodes.
How can we be sure these are the last DLC characters though? Weren't there supposedly 15 empty slots for potential DLC? I'm sure these fighters passes are making Nintendo tons of money so a 3rd fighters pass with 4 characters wouldn't be too surprising.
This guy makes a valid point
How about Fiora? Despite the fact she’s in Shulk’s Final Smash but we all know that didn’t stop Chrom. Mario is also in one of Piranha Plant’s victory screens
I gave up all hope for seeing characters I really want. I stopped holding my breath a long time ago, and I speak for other potential Fighters I want along with KOS-MOS. I'm honestly more excited for mods than I am for new characters, but you can bet any new addition is a welcome one from me because that just means more options to mess with cosmetically.
You're half-right. Chrom's situation is still eerily similar to an Assist Trophy in that he debuted as a cameo, but was never promoted in the same game. Likewise, he returns in Robin's Final Smash for the current sequel, but is Promoted to Playable anyway. It's a strange diversion from the Assist Trophy position, that is for certain. Mario has been around since Day 1 as well, so his cameo gag isn't all that unusual.
I'm actually slightly more confident about Rex/Pyra's chances now, after Sakurai's recent comments that the 6 fighters on Pass 2 are "extra." Since we've officially left the time frame of development consideration for the base game, the time seems right to add a certain spiky-haired sword boye Sakurai wanted in all along. But, Nintendo picked these six as well, so maybe Fiora would better promote Xenoblade DE? We still know nothing more about this remaster than we did when it was revealed, so what it could have in new content (including appearances from other Xeno characters) is still up in the air. Like I've said before, KOS-MOS has the legacy. But will it be enough? I hope so, but like you guys have said, I'd take anyone from Monolith at this point.
The newest famitsu column with Sakurai leaked earlier today. In it, he explained that the fighters pass volume 2 is indeed the last DLC planned for ultimate, and potentially the last piece of smash content in general. Which obviously means no new smash anytime soon and potentially no more balance patches for ultimate. (At least for now.)
Maybe you should try someone you don't know much about? I didn't know a ton about Terry and have no history with KOF but I main and love him now
There's always Mii Gunner... *Megalovania plays*
I think X won’t get a port but a full on remaster with new content like how they’re doing with the first Xenoblade game
I like where your head's at, but I'm dreading the inevitable 200 hours I'm going to spend on X again. As much as I'd like to see it, an X port would officially make my Wii U irrelevant, making the release somewhat bittersweet for me.
You’re a little late there
Dammit
, still depressed
it never hurts to want a little more since X, 2 and Torna have different casts (mostly in the latter two's case) and X would represent a different setting in the Xenoblade universe.
I'm gonna shill for Monolith here, but you should absolutely play it regardless. One of the best RPGs on the Switch, no doubt. It may even go on sale around the time Definitive Edition launches.
Based on your general selection of character-likes, I think you will end up enjoying the game. I know I do! In fact, XB2 is currently my favorite video game.
Exactly, Monolith Soft does not have the same freedom as Intelligent Systems at Nintendo. If they receive any new content, it will look something like Sonic and Joker.
Just remind people that Nintendo chose to end both of their last two directs with the announcement of a Monolith project.
Alright, I'll be sure to play it as soon as I can! The only reason I haven't yet is that I wanted to get a physical copy, but most I find are expensive (to me). Though, from what I've seen (alongside it just being a Xeno game) I think it'd be worth it to just go and buy it regardless. There's always the option to get it digitally too, just in case. Thanks for the opinions! I've read that KOS-MOS is really hard to get in the game but I'll try to get her if I get it lol.
Ohh I totally missed that. Well that kinda sucks... Here's hoping Nintendo changes its mind later and adds a 3rd pass :/
Don't stress too much over getting her. It's better to think of her as an ultra powerful endgame weapon, since she's one of the most powerful blades in the game, and therefore you should realistically only actively try to get her in the late stages of the game.
Oh trust me, you're gonna find a loooot of people who openly dislike the hell out of XB2. I just tune them out. What I enjoy is none of their business and vice versa. You might not even like it either, and that's OK. If I had to compare it to an anime though, it definitely feels like a nu-age Outlaw Star, which is probably why I gravitate toward the characters so much.
Xenoblade 2 making people extremely butthurt is not a bug, it's a feature. Over 2 years later and one still gets great entertainment out of it from the sheer unhinged seething it causes. God bless Monolith.
I mean, he's not lying per se. He's just not in the right headspace to be thinking that far ahead. There may come a time where a sequel is proposed and then planned out, but for now, he's operating under the present and what's in the papers. To be so specific about this Pass being the last one really drives that nail at home this time around. We have to take his word for it and remain hopeful that we get what we've been clamoring for since speculation began.
The only way I could see Sakurai pass over the project to someone he trusts is if Ultimate continues getting support, and it's him specifically who steps out of the project plan. Sort of like Double-Helix leaving Killer Instinct 2013 to Iron Galaxy. Not quite 1:1, but still similar enough in that we could expect content to grow from there while having a noticeable difference to Sakurai's current works. Hypothetically, this could open up the door to the First-Party character promotions that a portion of the fanbase is hoping for. Without Sakurai at the helm, the potential newblood (or veteran) could be like, "Ehh **** it, let's upgrade Rex, Spring Man, Shantae, Shovel Knight, etc."
The "last chance" people speak of is the fear that this is the last opportunity their Most-Wanted (and by extension, our Most-Wanted) to appear in what might be the final Smash game to include everyone that has ever been playable in the series. The thought of getting Rex or Reimu or... hell, even Hyde Kido in a sequel too late feels Pyrrhic to me. Sure, I wouldn't miss Snake or Bowser Jr., assuming those two are some of the many potential cuts in a sequel, but their presence along with everyone else's in Ultimate's was part of the magic. The fact that there are so many fanbases converged in one single game is pure majesty in and of itself. It just... it just doesn't feel right if EVERYONE ISN'T HERE, y'know?
