I am not considering Undertale characters a possibility currently as it doesn't seem like Toby Fox's style. Unlike other indie games that crossover here there and everywhere, Undertale has only appeared in one other place I'm aware of. I could be wrong though.

Did I miss any?

Bandai Namco: Lloyd Irving, Yuri Lowell, KOS-MOS, T-elos
Atlus (via Sega): Kasumi Yoshizawa
From Software (via Bandai Namco): Solaire of Astora
Indie: Gunvolt (IntiCreates)

ps I have a T-elos support thread in my sig if anyone’s interested

 

[Opossum]

All I ask for out of IS is that I can romance Dimitri and Claude as Male Byleth because I dont wanna play as the girl

Going by the E3 build Dimitri is a no go. Claude is still up in the air though, just like on the boxart.

I’d also add in SNK with Terry Bogard.

Also Nightmare (Soulcalibur) from Bandai Namco

Which mean Ill have to play as thr girl to even romance who I wanted to originally romance as the boy because of the fact they would rather pay more attention to the ****ing girl

 

[BlueMonk]

I think it's unlikely thanibomb had incomplete info on the number of gay supports, but hopefully the discrepancy isn't as extreme as it sounds. They mentioned that they threw in some lies too so their source wouldn't be found out... maybe that was one of them.

 

[Gyrom8]

I found it interesting at the end of the direct they were like 'we've working on other games, and we look forward to showing them to you in the future' (or something along those lines). On the one hand, that doesn't say a whole lot cos yeah, of course Nintendo is constantly making games - that's what it does. But I feel that it may have been a consolation to fans of certain series which were no shows in the direct

I hope thats one of them. Idk how they can go from having 1 equaly for each sex in fates to having one sex have more then the other

Briefly thought that the BotW 2 teaser was a Xenoblade game cos of the immediate fantasy/sci-fi aesthetic

And yeah, still no F-Zero is just depressing - it's not a good sign that if you see a direct "leak" containing an F-Zero reveal, that's an immediate red flag that it's probably fake

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Im curious about this. If a game has Same sex relationships but the chick gets 5+ options wherethe dudes gets 1, would you consider that fair or not?

I mean. I think it’s a little unfair. But being gay/bi can be a big part of a character and their story. Especially depending on the setting. And it shouldn’t be shoehorned into characters it doesn’t work with so there are X amount of gay character in the game.

Or Mother 3. Which is a shame cause I’d also love to see Mother 3 get a Link’s Awakening style remaster

As for F-Zero on leaks they’re often using blatantly fake names. A name like “F-Zero SX” would be more believable (GX having G for GameCube and AX with the A for Arcade). Hell, I’d even sooner believe a leak with “F-Zero GX HD” which is something I’ve wanted ever since Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD

I mean, we know Linhardt is an option, plus there are probably a couple in the Golden Deer. That's also not factoring in non-student characters you may get after the time skip.

I highly doubt sexuality matters in Fire emblem in terms of its story. all I want is for them to be equal in options

That is true, Treehouse did say its only available after the timeskip. Yeah, I know now Im being silly causing a fuss over thus but I cant stand when one thing gets more of something then the other.

Maybe I need to have a cup if coffee and chillax pff the game is coming out next month, maybe Ill be proven wrong

Anai is Tons annoying *** *** kisser, right?

Spoiler

Yup, AND he gets WAY too easily offended when Retsuko and Haida try to give him advice. He's keyboard warrior incarnate. And, while Ton loves Anai at first, in episode 5 he realizes that Anai is taking out his own insecurity on others by not working at all and becoming a slacker, which makes Ton call out Anai. It's nice to see him in a more positive light, similar to how he gave Retsuko blunt yet fair and caring advice at the end of season 1.

Couple the end of season 1 with how he's not as mean in season 2, and I'm starting to like him tbh.

I mean, it mattered for Leon. His love for Valbar was a big part of his character.

 

[Deleted member]

Petition to make this the anthem of the people who wanted both DQ and Banjo in:

 

[KMDP]

A few of the heroes have been playable in the Fortune Street games that weren't released outside of Japan.

Are you sure?

I've played Itadaki Street Portable (the PSP one) and Itadaki Street DS, neither of which contain main Heroes (I don't mean the Party Members, I mean the main Hero characters). Quick research tells me they weren't playable in Special (the PS2 one) or 30th (the most recent title) either.

I can't find any info about who was playable on Mobile, and it seems like Special (the second PS2 one) was the first that had actual Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest characters in it (IS 1 and 2 used original characters, though I can't find any info about Gorgeous King, the PS1 game or IS3, the PS2 game before IS Special). The Dragon Quest wiki, for some reason, doesn't catalogue all of the DQ/FF Itadaki Street games like the Final Fantasy wiki does, but the Final Fantasy wiki only covers the FF content.

I believe there was an Itadaki Street minigame in Dragon Quest 3, which Erdrick would have naturally been playable in, but that's still only a minigame within the main game itself.

 

[EarlTamm]

I think it's better to say romantic relationships are more of a character element.

Yeah, after season 1,Ton started to show that even he can be a good character. Lets hope he stays that way. Thank got he told off Anai, he is super annoying

I mean, it mattered for Leon. His love for Valbar was a big part of his character.

Oh yeah, it was a big part of Leon, I couldnr forget him, I kept him in my party the whole game lol

Professor Pumpkaboo

Spoiler

Once again, Retsuko's jerk boss ends up being the kindest one in the office when it comes to dating advice...who knew? Advice is tough but...very real and it shows that he wants Retsuko to be the best that she can be. Dang it, I like Ton full-on now idc lol

It's sad but Retsuko's getting closer to finding the one, I think. Her second ex was nicer and more considerate of her, but they weren't a match ofc.

I hope she continues to develop in character in season 3.

F-Zero NX would also be a cool title as it now only would it keep the "X" tradition, it would also be a reference to the Switch's original codename.

I just have to wonder why is it so hard for Nintendo to make one. It only needs three things:

1) New tracks with some new racers
2) Online Mode
3) Track Editor

BAM. New F-Zero right there.

Just please bring back PJ, Phoenix, and Lily Flyer at the bare minimum that’s all I ask

Deathborn too, though he shouldn’t be much of an issue as he was mentioned in GP Legend (which I still say isn’t canon)

the last 2 games weren't an X

they were ads for the damn anime but the first one is why the anime exists even so eh

God bless Ton. I feel they are trying to make him seem like a person that actually cares and it seems to be working.

And for gods sakes, Just give her Haida, he deseves some love

Clima"x". GP Legend was the only one without an "X" somewhere in the title besides the original.

Speaking of Climax, release that game over here. That game is beyond underrated and is one of the best games on the GBA.

>still no butler unmasked falcon skin
>still no biker outfit young falcon skin
>black shadow still isnt in smash

black shadow in the anime was ****ing bonkers, the literal only redeeming entity in that entire 51 episode run of jank

Clima"x".

and i thought leakers were stretching for credibility

I think the only other thing GP Legend is known for is the memetic FARUKON PAAAAANCHI scene in the final episode

WHICH WASNT EVEN DUBBED CAUSE THE ANIME FLOPPED HARD IN THE WEST SO DOUBLE OOF!

i doubt 4kids would have even shown it because "you cant punch people kids that's wrong, beat them with monsters and cards instead"

Unfortunately so. GP Legend did give us one of the more awesome interpretations of Samurai Goroh in my opinion. Black Shadow was awesome (voiced by Norio Wakamoto which is always a plus) and the fact that F-Zero got an anime makes me happy.

Honestly, Climax's "Boost Fire" concept would be really cool in a console F-Zero game.

EDIT: Black Shadow sounded like Patrick Seitz in that fandub. Not that I'm complaining because he's awesome.

yeah lets just forget the fact that the only reason boost fire works because you put a subatomic bomb that can nuke the universe as your engine

Spoiler

I think they will end up together. Retsuko x Haida reminds me a LOT of Pam x Jim from the Office...good friends at first, but they keep searching for love in other places...but all the signs are there that they will end up together in the future.

Retsuko has also improved in understanding what she wants and putting her nose to the grindstone, and Haida is handling is jealousy better. If they keep improving on their character, I think the feelings will eventually become mutual...but it will take a lot of work on both ends, and interest. Retsuko wasn't interested in the special, and Haida backed off and is slowly getting better with jealousy. Now, if both of them become their "best selves"...I think it's all the more likely romantic feelings do finally appear in BOTH parties.
