But like I said earlier, Hyrule Warriors' Linkle ruined my expectations of a female Link truly happening (yes, she's a different person from Link in a non-canon spin-off, but still).

Remember when people wanted Lana in Smash, or any Hyrule Warriors character for that manner?

Good times. :troll:

People would still complain one way or the other even if they get what they want.

Like how the feminists slammed Linkle for being a sexist Ms. Male character despite Nintendo (actually Koei) answering the fans' wishes. Yes, I technically know that Linkle, partially based on Link, is nothing like him nor is she a part of the Hero's descended blood.
Meh, I couldn't care any less about what they crazy feminists want, I just drew this cause I wanted to, and cause I think a playable Zelda would be cool.

But I feel what this embodies the most is what I've been saying before. Adding a playable female, (and why Zelda is a better option than femLink) would be in order to give players a chance to play as a completely different character, with a different set of abilities, not some meaningless genderswap to cater to special snowflakes.

I've seen some fanart passed around by some person who was pushing the idea of why Zelda should get her own game before on various forums and 4chan. It's this tumblr artist, I forget who. But they sent it in to Nintendo, and they got back to him with a CnD, lol. And it was because it was OBVIOUSLY pushing an agenda, and the design was totally uninspired. It was "Zelda" but she was dressed up like Link and had the Master Sword. Yeah, real ****ing original. And I think that's where the distinction between a feminist beta male who's trying to pass up an agenda to try an cater to a certain crowd, and a fan of the series who sees potential in doing something a little different. The designs speak for themselves.

And this goes back to my previous argument. What's more exciting?

Getting a gender option in games that pretty much ****s with the lore.

or, giving Zelda a chance at a spotlight or being playable, and donning her with unique skills not available to Link? Things like Magic, and better Dexterity, etc...

The latter has a lot more to do with what makes Zelda different from Link aside from her genitals. And that's the entire point of I always try to make.

I think what pisses me off the most about the feminists is that they've basically made the entire idea of playable females and stuff in gaming INCREDIBLY toxic by pushing their stupid gender politics where they don't belong. Now you can't ever bring up the issue without people being wary that it might be to pander, and not out of genuine creativity. Plus, they've definitely tired everyone out with their rhetoric.

They all originally had that big initial hype only for it to disappear once the games are out.

That and people realize that spinoff characters in Smash are pretty unlikely as fighters if we use Waaaaaaa as an example.

I've been posting a lot less here and on other forms.

Maybe it's a sign for me to probably go. I mean a lot of people have left as well so it's probably looking like it.

A lot of the so-called SJWs aren't really fighting for "feminism", "equal rights" or "social justice".

They merely hide their attention seeking behind a bunch of fancy words and how they're fighting for something better, when all they want is attention.

@ManlySpirit Nice Zelda design. She certainly looks wild.

Also, speaking of Zelda, one thing I greatly enjoy about Marin's addition to Hyrule Warriors is how her last appearance was as a trophy in Melee, not even appearing as a sticker in Brawl. Not only she returns after so many years, but she's playable.

The whole DLC pack gives attention to an otherwise underrated Zelda game, which shouldn't be considering it was the first handheld Zelda title.

This video is pretty much this if you realize all of this is for attention and money.


I wish the social justice was something that was truly for equality instead of Segregation.

I'm not gonna leave anytime soon but even if I do go, it's mostly as a break from here

Marin and Tarin were replaced by Malon and Talon effectively. That's more or less why they never reappeared. I'm glad Marin is getting her dues, though. She's Link's second love interest in the series(going by game release order). First was Zelda via Zelda II. OOT doesn't have one that's made obvious, although Malon is semi-hinted at best(Nabooru jokes about it instead, but considering what happens to her...). Tetra is obviously the WW one. TP has Illia and Midna. Zelda comes back as one in ST. Was there any other ones I missed? I haven't beaten ALBW, and I don't remember MM having one at all. SS I haven't played yet(and nothing in the LP so far I'm watching hints at one, besides at best Zelda herself again. And Link doesn't seem to show any emotion towards it like Groose does).

Watching Cobi's playthrough of the Sonic Unleashed DLC makes me really want to buy the game again, since I don't have my original copy anymore.

Maybe I'll pick it up again at Summer of Sonic or something.

Playable Zelda?

I heard they considered the idea for Breath of the Wild, but dropped it because they thought it "messed with the balance of the Triforce."

Me being me, of course, I have a solution to fix that.

I assume it's because they need to find a way to incorporate wisdom into how she works and just throwing her into Link's ability set would infringe upon Link's "Courage" tactic of charging boldly into battle.

For playable Zelda to be more wise than courageous, then, the solution is to make her fight more tactically.

Maybe you could make her a glass cannon or something. Force her to plan out her every move, but when she actually does land a hit it's SO worth it.

Have her use stealth a bit more, but not in the annoying way like at the beginning of Spirit Tracks where getting noticed puts you back to the beginning and there's nothing to actually fight. I mean have her sneak up on an enemy, peep around a corner or peek out from behind a tree, and *fwoosh.*

She probably wouldn't be as beginner friendly, but then, you'd need someone WISE to use her effectively, right?

It was a different reason, more like "Then what would Link do?" It's actually that Zelda is always supposed to be the maiden you rescue, and Link always must be the hero, with Ganondorf always being the villain(when he appears). You can tell that this is heavily the case in most games. You still have to rescue Zelda in WW, and then again in PH(except it's Tetra), and her soul in ST. It's a very clear set game design. It's overall a pretty silly reason, though. Aonuma did receive some backlash for this explanation, so things hopefully will change. They really should experiment more with the playable choices, even possibly going with some canon spin-offs to let some various others playable. It doesn't mean there needs to be a real hero either, as a game starring Ganondorf can still have him be the villain protagonist.

Thanks dude/

And yeah, I totally agree about what you said regarding SJWs. You might find this video to be quite interesting:


It's about the psychology of modern leftists. Pretty much goes in line with you just said. It's attention seeking behaviour rooted in low self esteem. Funny enough, these were all observations made by the Unabomber. Just goes to show, wisdom can be found in the most uncanny of places. On the other hand, for a crazy as he was, the Unabomber WAS a certified genius who entered Harvard at the age of 16, and became a teacher there at 21, so perhaps his observations about the world, are worth a listen.

I never heard anything about them considering Zelda as playable for BotW. All I heard was their reasoning for not having femLink, and that they're considering the idea of a Sheik game.

As for how you could do it, for one, people have suggested the idea of a Tactics game like FE with Zelda as the commander being fitting for the triforce of wisdom.

Personally, I'd say you could do the following:

Hero of Courage didn't reincarnate. It was Ganon's plan in order to conquer Hyrule, omit the reincarnation of the hero of the triforce, and a huge thorn in your side is gone.. Someone is set to revive Ganon. Zelda is forced to take action on her own, and make sure the reincarnation cycle of the triforce continues, as well as preventing the revival of Ganon.

She fights using magic, and bows and ****, and can transform into a Sheikah, and is less resistant than Link, but far more agile, and you could even make it like WRPGs, where things like Charisma and the like play into things. The gameplay is more stealth focused, as Zelda has to do all this without being discovered to be the princess. And the key to it all is transforming between Sheik and Zelda to make the best use of both their abilities. Perhaps have it so that the transformation isn't permanent since it's magical, and can only last for a time.

You could do a lot with it. Just make sure you change it up from the standard Zelda flair. Rather than collect weapons, like Link, Zelda has to learn various magic spells (think Zelda II). Also, her quest is a lot more puzzle focused than previous Zeldas, again, playing into that wisdom thing (which Aonuma would love, since he's crazy about dem puzzles).

Hell, you could even make it so that from here on, Zelda games featuring Link are more combat focused, and Zelda games featuring Zelda are more puzzle focused. Kinda like the Oracle games.

Marin and Tarin were replaced by Malon and Talon effectively. That's more or less why they never reappeared. I'm glad Marin is getting her dues, though. She's Link's second love interest in the series(going by game release order). First was Zelda via Zelda II. OOT doesn't have one that's made obvious, although Malon is semi-hinted at best(Nabooru jokes about it instead, but considering what happens to her...). Tetra is obviously the WW one. TP has Illia and Midna. Zelda comes back as one in ST. Was there any other ones I missed? I haven't beaten ALBW, and I don't remember MM having one at all. SS I haven't played yet(and nothing in the LP so far I'm watching hints at one, besides at best Zelda herself again. And Link doesn't seem to show any emotion towards it like Groose does).
I thought in OoT the strongest indication of romantic interest was Ruto, considering she pretty much got engaged to him the moment she gave him the Zora Sapphire. Malon and Saria are the most sympathetic options. Also, what happens to Malon in OoT, I forget. iirc, she gets her mind wiped in MM, but Termina is not Hyrule, so it's not the same Malon. Besides, kid Link becomes a Salfos, so, so much for all that.

Also, MM hints at Zelda being Link's most memorable companion, as she's the only one that shows up in his dreams and visions from OoT.

In SS, the love between Link and Zelda is made obvious, it's practically the crux of the whole story. And iirc, plays a key role in the end.

I finished reading the book about Miyamoto overnight. And I really understand and appreciate his philosophy on games.

Miyamoto's focus on gimmicks seems outdated, but his constant thought of innovation is what makes the game industry move forward.

No other person is like Miyamoto. Even if his NX gimmick doesn't work, I'll still buy the NX & appreciate his way of making games.

Honestly, I think want to participate in the T-Shirt Contest. I want to make my entry a polished tribute gift to Miyamoto.

Bleach 74 will be the last volume, there will be 5 chapters left, and Bleach's ending will be around the manga's 15 anniversary.

It's like Kubo is truly setting up for a disappointing ending like Shaman King. And the worst part, this gives me the impression the final big bad will be killed by the power of friendship or some other random ***pull just to make Ichigo win.

Tire's a reason why people always called Kubo a troll. I'm not even going to bother asking for a source since I'm a frequent Mangahelpers lurker that knows everything.

Oh well, one can hope that the ending won't be too much of a trainwreck compared to SK (Yes, I'm still upset with how it ended to this day). I'm afraid you right about some rushed plot device being used to end the story.

Then all that time Ywach talk about the Almighty is for nothing.

Has 74 been confirmed to be the final volume? I remember the last chapter has a blocked countdown of the remaining chapters. Like he had a number in mind, but wanted to be flexible.

Man, I've been following Bleach for years now. I started reading it when I was 15... That's 11 years ago, holy ****. Deal is, the pacing of the manga does NOT work for SJ, but if you read it back to back, it actually flows really well, and because a lot more exciting to read.

Idk what to expect of the ending. Part of me is hoping he pulls a Kubo and does a tragedy. Or he somehow involves Aizen as the one to take down God.

In other news, I recently discovered Berserk was back on board, and they finally got off the boat. That's probably my all time favorite Manga. And HxH is off hiatus as well, so that's also pretty hype.

Yes. The curent Japanese volume confirmed that the next will be the last. You can see a picture of the page here.

https://mangahelpers.com/forum/thre...2016-discussion-and-toc-talk.3001564/page-152

Like you, I'm actually curious on how they will end the series. Aizen can be the one to save the day or the manga just ends with God (Ywach) taking over the world. We can just see how things go from here.

I tend to avoid long-running manga series, especially when in many cases, the authors are forced to work on more of the same by the editors. Some stories are best kept short and concise rather than running for more than they should.

Unless it's a monthly manga, which honestly tend to be better paced than weekly publications.

You should still read Berserk and watch HxH.

Berserk's Golden Era arc is some of the best storytelling in Japanese media. It's the first big arc too, so that's finished. And the new HxH anime is complete and reaches a reasonable conclusion. It's also by Madhouse. Imo, Ruroni Kenshin, One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist, Jojo, and HxH are as good as it gets with Shounen. So HxH is defo worth checking out.

Edit: Berserk is also monthly iirc.

I have JoJo and HxH in my anime backlog and FMA is fantastic (the manga/Brotherhood anime).

Though for this summer, I kinda want to step away from anime for a while. It helps there isn't a lot that interests me in the upcoming season. (I've watched far too much anime in the spring season. Never again will I follow such an insane amount of anime.)

Well, there is a new Berserk anime adaptation airing, so I suppose I could check that out of curiosity.

I'm pretty sure a playable Zelda will necessitate a very different plot compared to a traditional Zelda game, at least. Link always starts out as a ordinary guy with vague origins and then picks up a sword when some disaster happens.

With Zelda, you can eliminate that part, as you can start off the game very differently, and you also don't need to have anyone to save. You don't have to be a lonw wolf like Link. Considering Zelda has the triforce of wisdom, it can have parts where the challenge involves something different than rushing headlong into a dungeon and initiating a massacre. There's a lot you can do with the different viewpoint.

This is your fault for expecting Bleach to be good.

There's a reason why people say it best out Naruto for being the worst of the big 3.

I personally much prefer the 2003 adaptation to Brotherhood. The artstyle, animation, and musical direction were top notch. "Brothers" is still one of my favorite musical tracks in anime. As is Kesenai Tsumi.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXQLrkW33f0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ4rceCSHB8

The darker and more depressing mood of the show was also more fitting for its themes, as was the tragic ending. It carried a moral, and went in line with the point the series seemed to be wanting to get across, about the consequences of your actions. Also, the religious and secular themes of the original, and how it didn't care if it offended people as it portrayed religion both in positive and negative lights was respectable, and very interesting indeed. We see Ed, a proclaimed atheist too go from being arrogant about his beliefs to questioning what he even believes in anymore. It's very interesting. His development and characterization are miles ahead of the manga and Brotherhood imo. Yeah, 2003 had plotholes, but, tbh I'll take those for the overall more thematically interesting narrative. I wasn't very fond of the happy ending in Brotherhood.

2003 also had better OPs:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOYpEgIiHWk

Though, Brotherhood had good ones too.

Don't watch the anime. It's trash. For starters, it picks up after the Golden Arc, which was adapted into three films, and it cuts out two arcs that were too gruesome for TV ratings (children dying, ****, etc...), which are also some of the best arcs after the Golden Era arc. Second, the animation is awful, and ridden with really bad CG (which was a problem the films had as well, though there it's not so bad, since CG is only used in large battles).

Berserk has a curse of never getting a proper adaptation, you owe it to youself, and Miura's work to appreciate his beautiful art it's raw splendor and beauty. It truly is something worth appreciating first hand and unfiltered:

Best out? Don't you mean beats out?

Though yeah, I can't deny that previous arcs and some parts of the Thousand Year Blood arc have been a mess. Pacing and overcomplication being the reasons for that.

I decided to try another hack since I'm still bummed that I lost my TLP save(I'll probably replay it once this semester ends)
"Staff of Ages" has such great dialogue and writing it's surprising, too bad it currently has only 8 chapters

Poor Eagle ends up being the butt of Swayer's jokes though

And on the other hand, there is Belle, she is a Pegasus Lord and, well...

She's your usual Pegasus Knight

But she sure is a good character

Just because I'm that guy, I'm not expecting Ichigo to be paired with anyone in the end. No Rukia or Orihime.

The last thing we need is another Naruto ending meltdown.

I personally much prefer the 2003 adaptation to Brotherhood. The artstyle, animation, and musical direction were top notch. "Brothers" is still one of my favorite musical tracks in anime. As is Kesenai Tsumi.

The darker and more depressing mood of the show was also more fitting for its themes, as was the tragic ending. It carried a moral, and went in line with the point the series seemed to be wanting to get across, about the consequences of your actions. Also, the religious and secular themes of the original, and how it didn't care if it offended people as it portrayed religion both in positive and negative lights was respectable, and very interesting indeed. We see Ed, a proclaimed atheist too go from being arrogant about his beliefs to questioning what he even believes in anymore. It's very interesting. His development and characterization are miles ahead of the manga and Brotherhood imo. Yeah, 2003 had plotholes, but, tbh I'll take those for the overall more thematically interesting narrative. I wasn't very fond of the happy ending in Brotherhood.

2003 also had better OPs:

Though, Brotherhood had good ones too.
I can respect this option. I've always pushed off the 2003 adaption as inferior, but your well thought out reasons convinced me that personal taste can really go a long way.

Come on, don't be that guy.

But I agree with you to some extent. It all boils down to whether Ichigo agrees to stay in the human world or live in the Soul Society. As an avid IchiRuki shipper, I would have little problem with this ending either way.

Same, coming from an IchiHime shipper.

Ichigo winding up with objectively the "worst" girl would cause too much controversy in the end. Orihime can't really really catch a break with the fandom.

Somewhere out there on this big blue marble
I'm about to summarize the last 5 minutes of my life. I got back home after bringing someone to their home, only for my mother to leave the key in the lock, meaning I can't get in. I ring the doorbell about 50 times, but as she's partially deaf, she couldn't hear it. I went to the backyard, only to discover my mother closed it off with bike locks, meaning you can't use the ****ing backDOOR as a door. I then started yelling and screaming until my sister heard me, who argued with my mother to unlock the door, until I managed to get back inside the house. I need comfort food for my throat

Special thanks to Azure Warrior for his signature gif that got me into the anime shown in said gif.

Can't wait for the second season.

I decided to try another hack since I'm still bummed that I lost my TLP save(I'll probably replay it once this semester ends)
"Staff of Ages" has such great dialogue and writing it's surprising, too bad it currently has only 8 chapters

If you're looking for more hacks to try, might I suggest Fire Emblem Forever? It's an (unfinished) remake of the second half of FE4 with some FE5 stuff mixed in. It's pretty old and vanilla compared to some of the newer FE hacks, but I've found myself playing it more than any other hack I've tried.

It's only ~15 or so chapters IIRC so it's a pretty small investment, and definitely worth a try.

Is One Punch Man worth the hype? Or is it just overrated?
Attack on Titan anime season 2 hype! Will air in Spring 2017. Cast and main staff return for the new season.

With both Blue Exorcist and Attack on Titan returning in 2017 makes it a year to look forward to when it comes to anime.

Of note, those were among the first anime series I've watched, so it's great for me to see them return.
I haven't read the manga. I'm looking forward to Attack on Titan Season 2.

Bleach's incoming ending.

Among other anime talk like Berserk.
oh. then I guess I really don't have a say on the matter.

I barely watch any anime anymore and since there's already hundreds of them and counting I'm completely clueless as where I should start since I actually feel like watching a series myself.

Someone did a Bayonetta costume for DC Universe Online and she fly's like Superman! =D
And Bayonetta was in two Watch Mojo videos today. =D

Sorry I just love Bayonetta publicity =D.
