Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

"DLC for faster load times"
I'm officially sold.

Free DLC for faster load times.
We dont wanna give people the wrong impression.

 

[Solfiner]

The load packs for X do make a nice difference, but even without them the games loading times are miles better than the originals. Also, completely seamless world which means that loading screens aren't that common.

Oh yeah, we wanna sell people more o' dem X's!
(But seriously, I'm so hyped for it)

Running uses your ability points, so when you get to the boss you'll be low on AP and you'll need to recharge, or walk to the boss. Either way it slows the pace down.

What is the point of making running of all things use AP points?
And also

Also, most jobs/classes are unlocked midway through the game.

Oh, I know how this feels
I bet the coolest classes are the unlockable ones
Geez, I have never seen this before

 

[NintenZ]

The fact that we have the DLC load times though gives the impression of how big the game is, it's scale is really impressive (f)actually.

 

[Spazzy_D]

It seems that this article shows some of Japan's reaction to Cloud. A few of them say its to please us foreigners...weird.

HA! Bartz. Here we are in the West arguing over Cecil and Terra, and some gamer in Japan has to bring up Bartz.

Also funny how the most wanted Konami rep in Japan is invariably Goemon.

EDIT: Found a new favorite quote -

"As always, the Internet filth of Japan gives a coldhearted response.

You should at least accept that Cloud’s in the game mostly for foreign gamers. The fact he’s in the game shows that your opinions mean almost nothing anyway."

Sakurai only cares about Western gamers confirmed!

Actually, which classes need to be unlocked then?

Not over here actually. Remember, I'm from the US.

You guys didn't get it yet? lol

Are the loading times pretty long without the DLC stuff?

There's only one real loading screen which is at the game's boot up apparently.

The rest are short minor loading screen and I hear they're not too bad.

Still I wanna know how the digital version compares. My guess is this:

Digital >>Disc(DLC) >>>> Disc

I expect it to be slightly better than the disc(dlc), but obviously not to the same extent as disc vs disc(dlc).

Considering the size of the game, I'd say they are decent.

It makes a big difference for equipment switching, fast travel, and (I assume) cut scenes.

Actually, FFV is Japan's FFVI in terms of popularity iirc, they adore V. Luckily for me it's on Steam. Yet VI isn't for some reason fml

Disc with the DLC is basically the download version iirc. There might be some slight improvements but generally it's the same experience.

V is A LOT of fun, mostly due to the class system which is borderline broken. The story is pretty sub par, though.

 

[Chrono.]

Yeah, story took a backseat to the gameplay in V.

I don't think it was too bad though, I liked the sillier approach.

The villian was a tree. A tree made out of demons, but still, a tree.

Exdeath wants everything in the void and Gilgamesh is bae 10/10 best story

 

[Chrono.]

Oh yeah.

If Midgar actually gets non-FF7 songs, I hope Battle on the Big Bridge is one of them.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh yeah.

If Midgar actually gets non-FF7 songs, I hope Battle on the Big Bridge is one of them.

Don't worry, the fact it didn't play in Cloud's trailer must have been a glitch!...Please...Big Bridge is best FF track

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

Oh yeah.

If Midgar actually gets non-FF7 songs, I hope Battle on the Big Bridge is one of them.

If that happened, I'd hope The Last Battle (FF5) and The Decisive Battle (FF6) were songs for the stage.

Oohhh.... Yeah.... For a second there I thought we reached that point. Hey, you never know nowadays....

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I'd be nice if the Final Fantasy characters who were playable in the Mario Sports Mix games were given trophies.

 

[Deleted member]

>FF musoc talk
>No one mentions Battle to the Death(FFVI) or Battle with the Four Fiends(FFIV)
Feeling: disgust

 

[NintenZ]

So... Does anybody have a theory on why Twilight Princess HD exists?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I feel the characters who will be given trophies are the ones who have HD models on hand. And from Final Fnatasy 7 specifically, that leaves Tifa and Sephiroph from Dissidia 012's opening cutscene. Of course FF7 RM is in the works so all could be fair game.

[Bedoop]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Not sure if anyone was alerted to this or not but
ZSS Re-Re-Redos for Project M
The M stands for Metroid, I tells ya
We'll get Ridley any second now.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

She was but I don't think she was in the super-HD-probably-more-expensive-than-the-game opening sequence.

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

Money, well that's my reason anyway

Am I the only person that is getting the special edition of Xenoblade X for the art book and not the usb ,also I really like L's voice and personally in this game.

Giving Justin Bailey Samus Leg Warmers was a nice touch.

DOCTOR EGGMAN CONFIRMED FOR SMASH??!?!??!

Two men. Two mustaches. The #Movember battle has begun! @NintendoAmerica pic.twitter.com/WGi1WzQEVH

If Only.
C'mon Eggman. Second Sega Rep let's Go.
More Villains a-hoy.

Savage.

Oh look at that Jolly Good Banter.
If you would have told a 90's kid that Nintendo and Sega would be having this kind of conversations.
They would have looked at you and laughed.

 

[Curious Villager]

Just took a look at Toon Link's trailer in Hyrule Warriors Legends. Still very happy he's in the game. ^^

Did anyone else notice the little Smash Bros reference in the trailer? That attack he did at about 23 seconds in looks quite similar to his down taunt. ^^

This is honestly pretty funny.

As always, the Internet filth of Japan gives a coldhearted response.

Welp...today Shantae is officially out in japan.

It's time! Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, now in Japan! pic.twitter.com/cUXoFWr6NS

Really want a physical copy.

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

If Wolf doesn't come back, that would be really underwhelming.

Yeah it would. I really hope we get Wolf and Krool, since those are my only 2 most wanteds that have a good chance.
Though I'd be really really happy if Waluigi got in, but that's just a dream.

Trailer for Paper Jam (in JP)

Spoiler

I marked out seeing King Bom-omb and the Koopalings.

King Bob-omb and the Koopalings!? YES! This game just got so much better, now if only it had the Wario bros.

i meant to post this earlier, but i love that one comment that says they call etika "guile-kun"

 

[Neo Zero]

Can I just say this is the best remix.

I guess this just goes to show regardless of Nationality, using the Internet makes us the same salt monsters in the end.

Huh, didn't catch it the first time around.

Cute little nod I must say.

 

[Icedragonadam]

I'm glad the Molgera battle theme is in Hyrule Warriors now.
