Oh boy, I wish an animal saying a curse word was the worst thing for me to think about

Nah I've seen worse. A lot worse.

 

[Zinith]

Nah I've seen worse. A lot worse.

Say no more...

Well they are fixing it so it shouldn’t take as much.

The problem is that it's the entire design philosophy of that part of MK11, and they did it in the first place. It legitimately blows my mind how, from what I hear, a stellar game is hampered by egregious monetization.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Well at least they have some things in common

They're both functionally immortal for completely different reasons and get super offended if you actually call them ma'am despite it.

I mean Bayo casually threatened to kill Palutena when she first rolled up to Smash Bros and Palutena's kind of a telephone game interpretation of a virgin goddess but hey in Uprising land neither of those things really matter all that much so uh

I guess what I'm saying is I don't ship it but better that than shoving Palutena with an emotionally stunted teenager because That One Pic One Time (TM)

I get that, but what I don't get is why is Simon being Zelda's dad now? I noticed that in fan art recently.

 

[KarneraMythos]

...Well, then. I can see why the user score for Mortal Kombat 11 is so low.

To get a taunt, a SINGLE TAUNT, it costs $7.50/7500 Time Crystals.

That costs more than Joker, his spirits, Mementos and the 11 Persona tracks all included in Challenger Pack 1.

I...I just...

There are so many wrongs with their handling of transactions that it's laughable. Jesus Christ, what a bunch of klowns... Makes me fear what DLC is going to be like.

Ha! I beat Chapter 3 and I get this joke. This game's a blast.

Oh yeah, speaking of beating Chapter 3.

Spoiler: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Spoilers Chapter 3

Two bombshells on the story.

1. I'm not too surprised Vandham kicked the bucket. He's the one thing I never hear about when it comes to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and he's this old mentor figure? Yeah this guy was gonna die from Day 1. That being said, still sad, and that boss fight at the end was actually really tense. Before Mythra, Malos and Akhos were completely capable at kicking my ass if I didn't let up and it was not like Morag or the first Malos fight in which the boss fight was easy but I still lost at the end for some reason. I felt their power through gameplay and that's very intelligent storytelling for a video game.
2. Mythra. Hey girl. Glad to see you're awake. I still don't know conceptually what the hell you are but I'll learn throughout the story, no doubt. It's nice they finally revealed Pyra's backstory because the whole "just trust her until it's relevant again" thing is annoying story-telling. Wonder where this will all go from here now that I know that Malos is really the bad guy right now.

Does anyone want to help me with my Project X Zone... projects? I don't know enough about the Namco franchises to make decisions. I'm doing a Fighting Game roster and a Warriors game concept.

 

[Idon]

The first trailer for SMT x FE:

Looks to be advertising a genuine crossover, perhaps a combination of the two gameplay styles somehow with iconic characters from both franchises starring

The true SMT x FE

Persona, except some Personas are named after Fire Emblem characters

It's not lookin' good for SMTV.

You joke, but that event's literally changed me.

I used to get so much more hyped and believe everything developers said. I used to always be looking forward to something, and see what lies over the horizon.

And this? This broke me.

I haven't been excited for most things since then, especially nothing made by Atlus.

Here's my only advice for this, make sure to add cartoony/non-humanoid mascots, when possible.

Bringing up a old conversation topic back for a quick second, I really don't care at all what Kasumi wears. I'd rather pay attention to her personality and character than whatever sexy outfit the artists give her. I don't think it's fair to hate a character all because of their design, I think it's important to take their other attributes into account as well!

If everyone got through Kamoshida's palace just fine, Kasumi's phantom design should really not be a topic for debate.

Backstory for Idon's cynicism? Never thought I'd see the day.

I know how you feel though. Even as someone who didn't know all that much about SMT back then, the crossover was still exciting, because it meant seeing characters from both franchises interact, and crossover interactions are something I live for.

Then we got THAT, and my hype died immediately.

It’s people who never played Persona who are complaining.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Endgame was kind of a celebration of the past eleven years, in a way.

That was cool.

To talk more about Endgame, go to the Endgame thread so you can express your newly found feels of depression like the rest of us

I just stumbled across Palutena x Bayonetta ship art.

Sure...

When it comes to ships, is the son, is a friend/wife/lover, and gets the porn...what the **** kinda logic does that make?

I guess what I'm saying is I don't ship it but better that than shoving Palutena with an emotionally stunted teenager because That One Pic One Time (TM)

tell that to Japanese Palutena (she wants the Pit while Superior English Pit wants the Zelda)

Yeah this guy was gonna die from Day 1. That being said, still sad, and that boss fight at the end was actually really tense.

I felt their power through gameplay and that's very intelligent storytelling for a video game.
2. Mythra. Hey girl. Glad to see you're awake. I still don't know conceptually what the hell you are but I'll learn throughout the story, no doubt.

The end of Chapter 3 is essentially the beginning of Rex's "Lucas Moments". There are SHOCKINGLY vast parallels between Mother 3's Lucas and XC2's Rex, which is probably why - combine with the masterfully timed music, writing amongst others - events like that are so ****ing good.

Now, about Mythra. In base XC2, you'll get a pretty good understanding about how Mythra comes about, but the real tease is all about Torna, which by the way, I wholeheartedly recommend Torna: The Golden Country. As much as I didn't like Mythra sometimes (mainly cause of the characteristics), after I beaten Torna, it REALLY changed my outlook on her.

Honestly, it's Nintendo's best DLC serving since Mario Kart 8's DLC, since it's essentially almost an entirely new game, and for people who might've not jived with the base game of Xenoblade 2, fixed a lot of things.

 

[Noipoi]

Mess with my Kasumi

You'll meet your doomi

 

[Mythra]

I never played a dang SMT/Persona games, but this **** is my mood now.

 

[Deleted member]

I gotta wonder how TMS even happened.

By all accounts, the game is technically guilty of false advertising with their first trailer. I gotta wonder what they were thinking.

The official answer is they "couldn't make it work."
The obvious answer is that they didn't think a game crossing over the niche game of Fire Emblem and even nicher game of SMT would yield any profits, so they went with people that had no standards.

Really, they should've called it Atlus x Intelligent Systems, because at least then there wouldn't be a sort of baseline expectation for them to fail.

It's not like it's a bad game or whatever, just a letdown.

I'll consider Torna, but I really want to move onto something else after base game. I got other games for the backlog and this game is pretty ****ing long as is. Right now, I'm pretty satisfied with what I'm learning so far and the character interactions are all endearing. Excited to see where this all goes because it's just entertaining to watch and play, even if some details don't mesh well with me.

The kicker is that the producer had claimed that it'd be the first of several SMT-inspired crossovers with various IPs. Not that anyone would be able to tell what this is unless you did enough research...

At least the director had fun making it challenging.

 

[praline]

F, I love TMS#FE

I agree. They need to put it on the Switch and have it have english voice acting.

And cast Matthew Mercer as somebody.

Shouldn’t even be called SMTxFE as they seemed to focus on the OCs and had some inspirations from FE but leave out SMT.

Similar to KH3, but unlike Sora and his decade long story that people grew to like, the main focus were on your standard anime characters or what not and no one was having it.

Why can't Konami make Red-Eyes a good deck

 

[Zinith]

Oh my god, my lack of sleep is catching up to me...

 

[Idon]

Here's how you can tell it's SMT x FE and not Persona x FE.

They use zan instead of garu.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Not to mention in Bayo x Palu ships, it seems like people twist Palutena's personality so it will work better with the ship.

At least with that Palutena changes her personality on certain occasions (though they all keep the same basis in caring for Pit and pretty much being lonely without him)

 

[Noipoi]

Oh my god, my lack of sleep is catching up to me...

go to sleep, sleepy skeleton

 

[Zinith]

go to sleep, sleepy skeleton

Gotta work though

 

[Pyra]

Pandoria is easily one of my most favorite designs for a blade in this game

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Gotta work though

Then go right to sleep after you work

easy as that

 

[Deleted member]

I just sleep during work

 

[Zinith]

Then go right to sleep after you work

easy as that

Okay then...

3 1/2 hours to go

 

[ZephyrZ]

....I think I shield too much.

 

[praline]

Okay then...

3 1/2 hours to go

Sleep and work at the same time.

 

[Idon]

Drink some cold water.

Ya can't fall asleep if you're cold, and you can't fall asleep if ya gotta pee.
