See, this is why I only buy the costumes I want with games like Persona, and never the bundles. Tales pulls this same kinda stuff too, so I'm used to it.

Also, seein' how Noipoi is here: You should go check back earlier in the thread today, I made two new GIMP monstrosities.

As someone who's never played an FF game before (but have watched let's plays), who here would recommend Final Fantasy 15 (not the Switch version).

My sister got it on PS4 a few years ago, and me, her and my brother played it, so I'll try and give an honest, spoiler-free review.

A lot of people describe it as one of the worse Final Fantasy games, but one of the main reasons for that is the different combat system. It veers off form the traditional turn-based style into real-time hack-and-slash-esque gameplay, becoming less like a traditional JRPG and more like some recent western RPGs. The game itself is not half-bad, with a compelling story and likable characters. Battling can be quite tedious though, as the health on some higher level enemies can be ridiculous to make up for the ability to dodge nearly everything. Unlike other Final Fantasy games, you lack the ability to directly command your entire party, and instead control only Noctis, the protagonist. You can occasionally use team-up attacks though. Some DLC that were released actually let you switch to some other characters though, so that's helpful. Almost the entire second half of the game is extremely linear, so you may want to prepare for lots of boss fights as you get later into the game. It has no world map, so you'll have to resort to either walking, using a chocobo or driving the car, which can take a while. You can use the car to fast travel, which cost a minimal amount of gil (seriously, it's nowhere near enough to make a difference) but you have to have visited that location before. Magic doesn't use an MP system, and instead relies on crafted, consumable spells which can be used by Noctis, or equipped by the others, in which case they will use them at whatever time they feel like it. Noctis is a unique character in that he can be equipped with any weapon type, 4 of which can be equipped at once. Magic counts as a weapon and has to be equipped to be used. FFXV also has hunts, like the ones from FFXII and FFXIV. Finishing hunts ranks you up, which will let you do more difficult hunts.

tl;dr: solid game, definitely unlike most FF games but still great. most noticable differences from other FF games are weapon wheel, magic system, character control, combat style and hunts. if you're a diehard FF fan, you might be put off by the combat system, but if not then you'll probably enjoy the game.

It was either that, or show video footage of Gooigi as FP5.

A little update on having no heat thing, I am currently breaking down an igloo that spawned in my bedroom. There was a strange man inside of the igloo, and he told me he was preparing to club baby seals, so I kicked him out of my house and started dismantling the igloo before more of them show up.

Was there name Simon keys?

Spoiler

Only true ace attorney fans know his backstory, which involves a igloo but not clubbing seals.

Pretty comprehensive and helpful! I figured FF 15 was not a traditional FF game in the slightest, so I don't think I'll be turned away in the difference of gameplay. Might pick it up this winter if I have the time.

if you play it, and want a more traditional FF game to play when you're done, you might pick up the original FF7 on an emulator or something. It's not the most famous FF game for nothing. if you don't care for emulators, or don't have an original PS1, there's a remake coming out in March, with an even more unique combat system than XV had, and a classic mode, which is the original combat system.

my non-gameplay based review is that the plot is an absolute mess that jumps all over the place and will never get finished because they cancelled the last wave of DLC mid development

 

[SneakyLink]

I just realized I might miss the start of TGA since I have a final at 6:15 and I have no idea how long it lasts.

I have a switch. Depending on how my winter goes, I'll either play FF 7 or 15 first, but I wanted to see peoples thoughts on 15 first.

I've heard its story sucks so that's something to look forward to.

It’s almost amazing the amount of personal growth one can go through in such short amounts of time.

I look back on things I did this year even, thinking “look at this ****in idiot”

I do that too. Really in the last six months alone i've come a long way since losing like 30 pounds and becoming way less anti social.

That was actually Steve Buscemi who made that quote. Known for his roles in The Sopranos, Oz, and Boardwalk Empire.

I gained several pounds and became less anti-social!

I read something about there being confirmed nothing Smash related would be revealed at the VGA. Is that true?

Oh, right! I was gonna mention that. I guess i'll watch, considering it's the last season and they're finally doing something with Jasper.

Obama’s campaign slogan should’ve been “Obama means family. Family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten.”

This is me when I cringe at pretty much any of the times I got shot at(particularly the whole “I don’t give a **** about women in smash” thing. Not saying I’ve changed, just don’t wanna open that can of worms again. Then again by mentioning it I already have, so idk)

Man, going over the lyrics to Symphogear songs, Kirika's side B songs on her albums is some moodwhiplash

Tegami: "I'm gonna leave a love letter for my girlfriend!"
Okitegami: "I'm got a response to my love letter from my girlfriend!"
Happy Smile Vacation: "I'm going on a date with my girlfriend!"
Happy Birthday Song: "Why was I born on this world? Why did my parents abandon me?"

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

the article was from 2015, back when it was heavily rumored that Sony would also be making a Mario movie

don't think it means anything now, assuming Universal/Illumination's currently the one with the Mario IP

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Well, i'm 18 today. It feels. It feels.


Exactly the same.

Happy birthday man!

We seriously need a Super Smash Bros./Nintendo Cinematic Universe though.

Why the **** has it not happened yet or at least an anime?

 

[Roguewolf]

So I just realized every time I’m cast in something When I’m acting I’m the villain

I’m not sure how I feel about this reality

Cuz getting all those game franchises for a game is one thing. For a movie??

I don’t know how a smash movie would even work. Certain properties fit better in animation like Mario and Kirby, but then you have properties like Zelda, F-Zero, and Fire Emblem which would be better live action. And Pokémon already was given a live action movie.

It’s one thing to see animated characters superimposed onto real world, but quite another to see live actors inserted into the cartoon world (the one part of Roger Rabbit I don’t think looks good today).

I mean, outside of third parties Nintendo already owns all of them.

 

[Gentlepanda]

let's be real, a smash bros movie's plot would be incoherent at best and a fanfiction at worst
