I finally unlocked Moo Manchu's Tower which is pretty cool

Now time to suffer as I try to find 3 other people to help me do it a few times, because no way in hell am I going through a 10 fight gauntlet by myself

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I got to Dotenbori, i like how the first NPC you see here is Makoto and she's all like "Wait, i know those stores! They all look exactly the same!" She's a Yakuza fan and Dotenbori is a regular location you see in the series, so of course she would recognize them.

To anyone looking forward to Legends, look at this thread

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This game looks nuts, man.

This game looks hecking incredible.

How did they go from SwSh to this in such a short time? This gives me way more respect for GF as a studio.

Ginger has defeated me three times now. Curse that Pyukumuku.

It's probably been in dev for longer than SwSh, and they could potentially have Nintendo helping out with it since they moved.

How hard is it to 100% a pokemon game?

I think this must be the case, 'cause otherwise it just makes what happened with SwSh incredibly bizarre.

I mean, if the rumors of it originally being a 3DS game are true, then...

The fact that it's always just looked like more Sun and moon kinda backs this up.

I thought sword and shield would be the stepping stone to a game like Legends happening 5-10 years later.

Didn’t know it’d happen two and a half years later.

If joker comes back for the next Smash brothers i want this as an alt:

Spoiler: Persona 5 Strikers

...I'd rather feel safe with them wearing their dancing gear...less sexy and all that

 

[Noipoi]

Not really hard.

Complete the Pokedex, beat all the bosses (including possible rematches which aren’t always a thing) complete all the side quests (which aren’t always a thing) beat the post game and the battle frontier (which isn’t always a thing) and sometimes there are collectibles.

 

[TheMightyP]

Gotta be honest: it looked worse with some textures

I thought SwSh was what Legends was gonna be.

Legends is what I was envisioning when they said Pokémon would be in the switch in 2017.

 

[MooMew64]

Y'know, some of what I've seen from Legends kind of gives me slight Xenoblade vibes. I wonder if Monolith helped out with the game at all? GF being moved into Nintendo's main building would allow for them to receive more assistance from other devs.

In fairness, that was a 3DS game.

Nah, just stole it from the top results

I don’t have the dedication nor the hardware to do it anyway.

 

[Pokelego999]

Damn, Galvantula X is legitimately kinda creepy.

BOTW and Mario Odyssey really set us up for our disappointment.

 

[Mamboo07]

Found some cool concept of Epic Mickey's scrapped Beetleworx:

Spoiler: Concept Art

A cut enemy named the Lifter that would crawl around and grab you with its arm.

Some kind of Country Bear scorpion.

Herbie the Love Bug is ain't lovely anymore.

The Jumbler which is a Beetleworx made of different things.

The Splatter Bot, this horrific monstrosity with a disturbing human-like Mickey head

Shame those were removed, would loved to fight both Jumbler and Splatter Bot as bosses.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

In fairness, that was a 3DS game.

And just a GBA game in 3D on top of that.

 

[Noipoi]

BOTW and Mario Odyssey really set us up for our disappointment.

We can’t know if it’s great yet, but I’m glad there’s a Pokémon game on the switch that breaks the boundaries of Pokémon. Instead of nothing but standard Pokémon fare.

With credit to SwSh, they tried with the Wild Area.

The vast, open... barren ugly Wild Area.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

The thing about Pokemon is that the format of the handheld games it's never going to live up to what we always envision the series in our heads, because all the other games in the series were handheld based there were certain details we had to fill in with our imaginations, when the series is on a modern game console that luxury doesn't really exist.
So this Legends experiment is the next best thing.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Hardest bosses in any FF game 1-9:
FFI: Warmech (OG) Death Gaze (Remakes)
FFII: Dark Emperor (OG) Phrekyos (Remakes)
FFIII: Cloud of Darkness (OG) Iron Giant (Remakes)
FFIV: Zeromus (OG) ? {I don't know any FFIV superbosses}
FFV: Shinryu (OG) Enuo (Remakes)
FFVI: Kefka (OG) Kaiser Dragon (Remakes)
FFVII: Emerald Weapon
FFVIII: Omega
FFIX: Ozma
This about right?

FFIV superbosses are Zeromus EG, Brachioraidos, Geyron and Proto-Babil.

FFI you have Chronodia for the PSP version. Even before that Omega and Shinryu probably gave Death Gave a run for its money.

Is Ruby Weapon harder than Emerald Weapon?

Kaiser Dragon isn't even the final superboss in the FFVI remakes. Omega Weapon is.

TBH I didn't think it was a good idea to expect every Nintendo title was gonna be this huge, formula and genre defining shake-ups like BotW and Odyssey were. I think reactions to games like Star Allies and SwSh might've been a bit tamer if people didn't hold every single game Nintendo releases on the Switch up to BotW's standards. Some games are just more low-key: It can't always be high budget showstoppers.

Granted, Pokemon is huge, it didn't have many great excuses for not being a bigger push forward, but other smaller games on the Switch that got dumped on were just kind of sad things to see.

tbf I was like 10 when I played Omega Ruby, I didn’t exactly have the most logical view of the world lol

Yeah, I agree. Like, the series was perfect on a handheld, but then making a console game that's basically the exact same as a handheld game with less content for a steeper price really turned people off. People want to see that leap, which is why I hope Legends takes off, because I want this series to evolve

 

[Noipoi]

I think it will. This is honestly the most excited I’ve seen the Pokémon fanbase since 2016 when Sun and Moon were coming out.

Unless they try really hard to screw it up, I think it’ll do really well.

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly, looking back on Sword and Shield, it was pretty clear the team wanted to innovate but didn’t have the time(and maybe the budget?) to do so. The Wild Area and the DLC seems to imply that anyway.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I guess that's why the models of the DP remakes don't bug me, comparing those to the ones in legends make it clear that it's a small scale project so giving it the design of a handheld game makes a bit of sense.

Depends on if you have friends or money to buy multiple games.

It gets easier the more games your into, ironically.

Huh, apparently Godzilla vs. Kong is gonna be the shortest of the MonsterVerse films sitting at an hour and 53 minutes.

If not counting credits that'd probably be an hour and 43 minutes then.

That implies this is gonna certainly be a fast-paced film which I like.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Pokemon SwSh was also pretty much GF's first time working on Switch hardware. They've been handheld exclusive up until recently. I've been saying that since before the dexit controversy.

You can see something similar with Three Houses. A lot of the textures and enviroments are just...eh. People just forgive that game for it because it makes up for it in other ways and doesn't have some Dexit controvery attached.
