EOV demo downloaded
I recommend any of you interested in it playing it, the EO demos are all great because they never limit your optioms like other demos, just your progress. Also, save data can be transfered so that's good.
If I disappear, know it's the character creation's fault.

My brother is a big EO fan, I think he already got the game.

I saw the direct earlier but I was out

Xenoblade was a BORING trailer

Neither of the new Ultra Beasts look THAT great

at least for Xenoblade 2...
Sure, it took nearly 1/5 of the Direct, but the story and combat system is really amazing. Do I also need to mention some of the landmarks are gorgeous?
I don't really care much about Pokemon Ultra Sun & Moon though...

It was RPG mechanics explained by some old man. Not the most exciting presentation

Sorry. To busy playing this octopath demo

The problem on the Xenoblade trailer was the monotone narrator, however THE MUSIC IS ****ING SICK.

The trailer before that, was really epic...
Azurda's voice does sound dull, but I feel more like watching a Harry Potter trailer...
And when they showed more about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 gameplay, I already had a feeling that it won't be delayed.
And you know Azurda is not a "man", but a small sized titan, and a cat-like creature.

The problem on the Xenoblade trailer was the monotone narrator, however THE MUSIC IS ****ING SICK.

Also the artstyle, at least for me, that's why I got to buy that special edition, I want the CD and the artbook.

 

[Coricus]

Played a tiny bit of the Octopath Traveler demo.

I can tell this is a very solid title, though having very little RPG experience, I'm having some difficulties.

Currently stuck at Primrose's boss.

I just bought a ton of healing grapes and kept it going on a loop to solve my problem.

Remember to use magic, it hits harder than your normal stuff and the spell that hits everything is good for clearing out both lackeys and making progress at the same time. Although saving attack chains for an increased stun chance is good to mix in too, I used that on the boss because he hits like a truck. You can get a couple of free hits in dragging a townsperson along, too.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I wonder when Atlus is gonna talk about Persona Q 2 some more

 

[PLATINUM7]

I knew it. Olberic in Octopath is voiced by Patrick Seitz.

@Zebei
I don't see Silicon credited in Octopath Traveller. It's got produced by Square Enix and developed by Acquire.

 

[Yellowlord]

Hmm... Out of curiosity, guys, what would you say are the chances we might see a Smash teaser at the upcoming Nintendo World Championships in October? From what I remember hearing, I believe a game of some sorts was announced at that time.

I suppose the chances are rather unlikely and that I should go back on the view that I will have to wait until next year, but I think it's still an interesting question to ask.

It's possible but I'd caution people not to get too invested.

I'd say it's more likely to be in the next Direct than at the NWC, as that will presumably be the one to shed much more light on 2018.

 

[Arcanir]

It's so nice to finally be able to see this critical animation in 3D.

I just got back from work and was able to catch up with the direct.
-It's great to see new UBs, but the story seemingly being a retread of SM's with a few new tweaks killed any excitement they brought for me. I'm very disappointed in how things are turning out for USUM at this point, particularly since I enjoyed SM.
-I'm happy to see Lyn in Warriors, she was one of the characters I wanted to see playable in a Warriors game ever since the suggestion was made, but after the three game focus was announced I gave up on it until DLC came into the picture. Seeing her as a playable character now was a pleasant surprise and from what they've shown of her so far, she looks like a lot of fun to play. It's also good to see Caeda and Navarre in the game as a lot of people were doubting SD getting more characters, though Europe is surely getting another delay for spoiling things yet again.
-Never would've expected DOOM and Wolfenstein 2 to be on the Switch, Skyrim was one thing, but having all three of them coming to the system shows a lot of faith the company is placing on it. If I can, I'll pick up both of them since I haven't had the chance to experience either franchise and being able to play it whenever and wherever I want will allow me the flexibility to get into them.
-Odyssey looks amazing and it seems to keep getting better the more they reveal about it, it's really surprising how much they're managing to stuff into this game.
-Octopath Traveler looks pretty good, I love the concept of the game and I want to see more of it to see how they handle the branching paths element.
-While I can understand the overview for Xenoblade 2 being criticized, I did appreciate it for telling me more about the game. It's not at the top of my list, but it and the trailer did get me more interested.
-I'm looking forward to seeing more about the new Dillon game, it seems like it's a slightly different take from the previous two and it looks pretty decent for what they've shown.
-Sonic Forces' Story trailer was pretty good, I like that they're using the avatar for NPC characters so they don't feel out of place and the potential story with Infinite seems to be shaping up. Hopefully it delivers because I think they have a good idea here, it just depends on how it's implemented.

All in all, not a bad direct. Had some disappointments here and there, but a good showing for the games I expected and a few surprises in the ports we got. I would've liked to have seen some other games in the pipeline, but it was still worth the watch.

 

[Bestmand902]

So I started Fairy Tail today, against what everyone's told me, and against my better judgement, and honestly, I think I'm gonna stick with it. It seems to be really fun, and hell, even if it does get bad later, I'm a dumb enough ************ that I probably won't drop it (I don't like leaving things unfinished).

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Question regarding the thread's title: Did Navarre get revealed for or was hinted at in FE Warriors? There doesn't seem to be anything regarding him doing anything in Heroes so...

He's Navarre going to get in FE Warriors

 

[Swamp Sensei]

He and Caeda got accidentally revealed in the European version of the trailer.

They're still in the background, though Navarre is hard to see. Caeda is clear as day though.

FT doesn't get as bad as Naruto, so if you didn't hate Naruto by the end you'll be fine with FT.

 

[powerprotoman]

early morning thoughts
Ub burst is fairy fire because its theme is fireworks, Bb the wall is possibly ghost rock or psychic ground

and fire emblem warriors went from 0 to 60 by having navarre show up as it means the the art cards were for heroes
and not enemy recruits(which have always been a thing in fire emblem so it would have been weird with how much they want this muso game to be like traditional fire emblem if it wasnt here)

Ohhh Fire/Fairy makes so much sense! I'd like to cover off more types of UBs. Ghost/Rock isn't bad either.

 

[Mythra]

I feel UB Assembly will have 231 Defense points just to troll Mega Steelix and Mega Aggron.

----

Tried to sketch a screencap of a smug Pyra from today's trailer.

Spoiler

There's too many **** on that armor, at least some of the game script says she can remove it.

Here's hoping the official artbook includes armorless with decent pants Pyra.

But for now I'll draw her daily.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I have an early morning thought as well. We had a conversation about this sort of thing the other day.

I believe we have a problem with whitewashing and a lack of diversity in Hollywood, and entertainment in general, because of the fact that humans are creatures of habit. And for the longest time we had the habit of believing that only White men could be talented and brilliant. We may have ruined entertainment because of it. But this spreads farther than entertainment. Science, religion, politics, we believed all of it could only be done by a white man. In hindsight, how many brilliant minds did we lose in time because of that?

 

[Deleted member]

I'm probably gonna give Octopath a try later today

FT doesn't get as bad as Naruto, so if you didn't hate Naruto by the end you'll be fine with FT.

Oh wow, we all know this is bull****.
Honestly, looking back, the only things Naruto did really wrong were dragging the War Arc for two ****ing years and having Kaguya hijack Madara at the end(seriously, she contributes to nothing at all and only made the stakes lower).
Meanwhile, FT fell into a predictable and stale formula way too quickly

 

[N3ON]

Hold the F*CK on here-

So you know that LoL-looking MOBA heading to the Switch? Batman is in it. BATMAN. And The Joker. And Superman. And Wonder Woman.

Wha-
why-
huh?
WHY WOULDN'T THEY SAY THIS? IS HARLEY IN THIS GAME?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

He's Navarre going to get in FE Warriors

He and Caeda got accidentally revealed in the European version of the trailer.

They're still in the background, though Navarre is hard to see. Caeda is clear as day though.

Yeah, I just saw it on twitter. I'd be down for him to be playable.

 

[Deleted member]

Just to prove I'm not crazy, look at Severa's Merc sprite here
https://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/sheets/60/63516.png
Can't edit it on my phone and the pic is too big so I'll just link it
Now look at Celica's leaked sprite

Why? Why would they use the Female Merc sprite as a base for her? I'm not trying to discuss the legitimacy of the leak, I'm on team real now but I just want to show I didn't make that claim yesterday out of nowhere, the two are incredibly similar

my guess celica has an outfit that looks like the female merc

 

[Erureido]

The newest Fire Emblem Heroes banner has been revealed!

More Path of Radiance characters are coming, specifically Nephenee, Oscar, and Elincia.

We're also getting a new story chapter in this update. The Black Knight is confirmed to be a boss for one of the maps.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

The Black Knight is confirmed to be a boss for one of the maps.

Which basically means he'll have a Grand Hero Battle in the future, confirming him as playable too.

 

[Bestmand902]

FT fell into a predictable and stale formula way too quickly

Eh, I'm a Power Rangers fan, Stale and Formulaic isn't something that'll turn me off XD

 

[Curious Villager]

Yeah you can.
Layton games have been released on Phones and they can easily add in cursors to replace touch controls and the like.

I'm not sure if its as simple as adding a cursor to fix the touch screen problem, while the series would work just fine in undocked mode, there will be some problems arising when the system is docked. Even Level-5 themselves remarked on that as there are a huge variety of puzzles and mechanics that heavily rely on the touch screen that would be more awkward to control with a cursor or pointer controls. (such as puzzles that require you to draw certain shapes or paths for example)

I do agree that the dual screen isn't as much of an issue though, even the early DS games didn't really rely that much on a second screen other than scenery and text for the puzzles which can be swapped out.

That said, Level-5 stated that their working on a solution for this.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I found a subtitled version of the Japanese Sonic Forces trailer released yesterday.

And my suspicions were right.

Spoiler: It's so obvious

Eggman used the power of the Pahntom Ruby to make his own ORIGINAL CHARACTER.

 

[Deleted member]

I have to say that I love the title of the thread. I'm a fan of puns.

I will say that the sprite quality is poor. When I saw the leak, I thought it was fake because Celica's sprite is just a mercenary sprite... but now I am thinking it's real because of Lyn.

I hope that there will be other characters from other FE games besides Lyn and Celica. The character that I hope makes it in the most is Ike.

Which basically means he'll have a Grand Hero Battle in the future, confirming him as playable too.

Actually, according to a leak the Black Knight might be a Tempest Trials reward unit instead.

Never gave my opinion of the Direct, so here it is;

• Did not care about the 3DS stuff, but that's only because I don't play the console much these days.
• With that said, I'm still happy for 3DS users though. Enjoy Superstar Saga, you guys! I hope you get many chortles from it
• With that said, that Mario Party game looks meh, imo.
• I really wanna like Xenoblade 2, but it was presented in the most boring way possible and took a very long amount of time. Looks gorgeous though.
• New Spla2n stuff looks neat. Kelp Dome in particular seems to be really fun with the new layout.
• Lola Pop aka Inflation Fetish Lady is out. Neat, but custom controls is obviously the best part about the update.
• Bethesda fully backing the Switch is really cool. Especially since that means we got mothertrucking DOOM out of it!
• Wolfenstein II too? Damn, Bethesda!
• That new Kirby game looks really fun and unique. I already love it.
  
• DOOOOOOOOOM!
• Didn't mind much about the MOBA, then I learned that game has freaking BATMAN! That's cool.
• Lyn in Warriors? Cool. If only more characters were pulled from other games in the base roster...
  
• Nintendo is DOOMed again
• Project Octopath looks fun. Will try the demo eventually.
• Odyssey looks amazing. The costumes are amazing (Dr. Mario tho!), the screenshot feature is also really neat. I can see a lot of glorious things be done with that amount of freedom.
• Did I mention the Switch gets DOOM?

 

[Deleted member]

Ya'll should be playing the EOV demo right now.
****ing Octop****, NintenDoom and Nipples Odyssey can all wait when you have such a masterpiece being able to be tried out for free.
Pls play eo

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Either way, he's playable and I probably won't ever try to get him because I'm fine with my Ryoma with Vantage and my Lyn, also with Vantage

 

[Radical Bones]

So I think I found a new weapon I like in Splatoon, which is rare.

The Rapid Blaster. Still getting used to the range but it's quite nice. Really satisfying kills and double kills, but also good defensively to stop players coming off a ledge or through a narrow path.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

New Hmm... Out of curiosity, guys, what would you say are the chances we might see a Smash teaser at the upcoming Nintendo World Championships in October

very unlikely. Very very unlikely

Just be patient and focus on other things for now

 

[Michele]

Dear Smashers,

If you're reading this diary, you may have heard of the slight uproar, that happened because there was no new Smash thing. Yes that's correct, there was no mention of Smash game, other than during the Metroid: Samus Returns game presentation. There was just a slight mention, but after that, there are NO more mentions about a new Super Smash Bros.

I know many of you guys were hyped up for the Smash announcement, but after seeing the uproar, I wanted to address something directly to all users. I know many of you will be mad at me for that, so blame me if you're mad. I may also be banned, but I only want to give you a hint. Please. Promise me.

Still reading? Good. As many of you guys know, Smash 4 was released 3 years ago, but it was announced 3 years after Brawl's release. I'm mentioning the time because I want to give you a suggestion. The suggestion? When a new Nintendo direct (like today) comes, you can watch it after it get released, but please keep one thing in mind. Watch the Nintendo Direct, but please, DO not actually attempt to hope for a new Smash game right after you start watching it. In fact, you're giving some pressure to Nintendo, and if you try to hope, there's a bit less chance of the new game Smash being announced.

As many of you know, patience is virtue, and with patience, you can actually get to see the newly announced Smash game. Trying to promote yourself by hyping and asking right away a new Smash game, and/or trying to post a fake announced Smash game, will drastically reduce the chances of Smash being announced. Plus, Nintendo Switch has just been released, so give that console some time, will you please? Give it at least half a year (6 months) or a year, and a new Smash game will be announced for sure. There was a huge time gap between Melee and Brawl: in 2001, Melee was released. It took almost 7 years for Brawl to be released.

So... I think you may be mad after reading it, but please, try to cool off. Patience will surely lead your road to a new Smash game. I haven't been hyped so much about the new Smash game, but I have really been hyped up in Mario Odyssey, Kirby Battle Royale, and the SuperStar Saga remake.

TL;DR: Don't try hoping right away a new Smash Game, right after you watch a Nintendo Direct. Patience is the key to find a road to see the new Smash game, whenever it's a port or not.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Nephenee's B skill "Wrath 3"... I want all my units to have it. But I have a feeling she isn't going to be dropped down to four stars any time soon so that's never going to happen. Besides, if October has a festive banner, it's going to be pretty demanding of orbs. Just going to sit tight for a while.

[Aurane]

I'm very proud of my Gunzerker in Borderlands 2 right now. Normally I wouldn't play Gunzerker unless I was raid farming, but now I can enjoy my playtime with him a bit more now that I have solidified what head and skin he uses.

Spoiler

Sorry for the crap quality. I can't screencap on console. So I used my camera phone. He's use the Snow Problem head and Classiest Man Ever skin.

We need a name for this handsome ************.
