Guide Zelda Social: But also the FE Heroes Internet Cafe

[Ffamran]

I'm thinking of buying a PS4 for games like Darksouls 3, maybe when the price drops around xmas. Dou you guys know any good games in the genres of open world/fantasy/exploration, LoZ esk things? Anything I should know?

world/fantasy/

world/fantasy/

Gee, I wonder what I've been talking about a lot recently?

Spoiler: Totally unrelated image

To add on to r_greening1's suggestions, there's also The Witcher 3 which might be a bit weird since you probably wouldn't have played the previous games which are PC-only with the second game having an Xbox 360 release. Speaking of games that have prequels on older systems, Nier and Nier: Automata and Ni no Kuni and Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. Nier's been talked about in this thread, but to sum it up, it's made by the developers of Drakengard, continues off of one of the endings, and like Drakengard and anything Cavia touches, it's messed up in a Berserk sort of way. Ni no Kuni was a collaboration between Level-5, the developers of Dark Cloud, Layton, and Rogue Galaxy, and Studio Ghibli. I think the newer Tales games are open-world, but some of them are still available on PS3 like Tales of Zestria and the upcoming Tales of Berseria. Same dealio with stuff like Dragon Age: Inquisition and Shadow of Mordor which were on PS3 and Xbox 360. There's also Dragon Quest Builders if you want Dragon Quest: MineCraft Edition. Also, if you want a Dark Souls-style game that's out now -- so, not Nioh which is coming out next year --, check out Lords of the Fallen. Apparently, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness was released already... so there's that too. Since they're on PS4, please check out Bastion and Transistor. At the very least, you will hear amazing music. Heh, if you get a PS4, then that means you can play Overwatch.

Not sure about how you feel about "old-school", hack 'n' slash RPGs, but there's Diablo III and Divinity: Original Sin. People do say those games are more suited for PCs because of how they work, but you can still play them and the developers probably tuned them so they're not stupid -- I remember reading about how console Diablo III were given stuff that PCs don't or didn't have access to like a dodge button. They are pretty much open world; games like them and Zelda way back in the day were the open-world games. They might not have been third-person or first-person like recent open-world games, but they were open nevertheless.

Anyway, Final Fantasy X's A Fleeting Dream is haunting and sad. World of Final Fantasy's rendition of it manages to make it even more haunting and sadder. It's the strings that literally tug at your heart strings and it's a different feel than the woodwinds? used in the original and remaster versions. Thing is I don't think I ever got to the part where it plays in FFX; the furthest I got was Mt. Gagazet, so I don't remember where I heard it. Probably by watching Dissidia. It and Zanarkand, especially the orchestral version, gives me goosebumps whenever I hear them since they're melancholic and filled with emotion. Man... why did I sell FFX thinking that I would get the remaster soon and man do I want to play World of Final Fantasy.

On a brighter note, I think if and when I get KoF: XIV, I'd like to have Alice on my team. She's so goofy while being badass.

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Just had my breakfast right and going to proceed with more of my work. Also, my parents have just gone away for the week. Also did the final thing in the Sun & Moon Demo where I saw the girl off. Got a Comet Shard for my troubles. Ain't too bad.

Anyone looking forward to Smash The Record later today?

Yeah if the rest of the game is just painstakingly outlining where I can and cannot walk I'm going to love it.

Well, it's mostly doing so while also being hunted down by giant-ass monsters that can probably wipe out your time in a turn or two who all want to kill you.

I'm posting these for future reference; apparently these QR codes do...something in Sun and Moon.

Ya'll "girls" can pretend and rationalize Trump all you want - but all of that is irrelevant when this is how the people are reacting.

Anecdotal evidence posted on your facebook wall of some ****ty people is not indicative of the greater whole, perhaps?

Be please, continue to tell me how the people around me are reacting so we can use that narrative over looking at how the people physically around oneself is acting.

And personally, I'm just utterly disappointed in the apathy and head-in-the-sand reactions of some of you. Zelda might be a trash-tier character, but that doesn't mean we have to be trash-tier people who refuse to acknowledge the suffocating reality this all means for some of our players.

Or, or! Just maybe others in the social have lived through a politician losing an election before, seen the accompanying mass hysteria, and saw the promised apocalypse never come to pass? Maybe even multiple times? "Communist Regime and Death Panels" ringing any bells to the somewhat younger posters?

Like, seriously. Have none of you ever even taken an Intro to Civics course in High School at least? Isn't that legitimately supposed to be mandatory in this country? Does the phrase "Checks and Balances" mean nothing to you? "Supreme Court Ruling"? I'd want to continue on with "Impeachment" but that one has it's own can of worms. But no, spitting on the face of peaceful exchange of powers between political parties is definitely the way to go, can't be because people actually have some idea how government works or how laws get passed or how the Presidency works, gotta mean we're all apathetic and delusional and what I really ought be doing is setting everything on fire in Portland right now like all those other groups are, imirite?

*deep breath*

It's almost as if the US legal system has numerous contingencies in place specifically if the elected President goes off the deep end or something. Crazy how that works.

I for one wish and pray for everyone in the US to please, please be safe. Don't hurt anyone, don't violate anyone, just be a decent human being.

Part of doing that is not trying to incite blind panic, yeah? Also, for how harshly I responded and I do apologize for that, part of that is not assuming that anyone not feeling your degree of panic as being a delusional bigot. One does so by educating oneself of the reality of the situation with a cool head on you list of concerns.

Might as well throw me into the PM too, if nothing else I can probably destress some of the problems by simply explaining how "X, Y, and Z" aren't actually possible. If nothing else, you'll be stressed only about the stuff that is possible.

Don't worry. We can fix that with fanworks.

Litten is super cute and my opinions have changed. I am now a fan.

I still don't really care much for Incineroar, though

I think I would like Incineroar better if he didn't always look like he's pelvic thrusting the screen.

Besides that he seems like a nice enough pokemon going by the dex entries.

Case in point:

To be fair, it's probably not Bravely Third.

This is probably a successor to Bravely Archive: D's Report, the Bravely Default smartphone game released in January last year.

I don't know if this counts as political talk, but those images in @ElderLolz post don't suprise me. I have being seeing a lot more confederate flags and "Don't Tread on Me" memorabilia (popular symbols of alt right nationalists/extremists).

Granted this is The South, but now I see two or three everyday on my way to school, when before this election I'd see maybe one a week at best.

I genuinely hope that this wins the Comedy Category for this year's Saxxy Awards:

I kind of wish I did improve on my Kokonoe back in BBCP. She was so fun to use.

Plus, I found this old clip from I think it was Rachel's Gag Reel in BBCS. Her Gag Ending is messing with Ragna by forcing onto him a pair of glasses called "The Spectacle of Eros", which cause the opposing gender to fall in love with the wearer.

Also, Smash The Record is live gorls!

1 You're glossing over the KKK enforcing Trump and hate crimes directly inspired by him in the news, like they were nothing. That's how you're rationalizing it. Like Rion pointed out the Republican party discriminates against same sex couples. They claim to want to "uphold the constitution" and give "power to the people" but throw those philosophies away as soon as supreme court rulings like United States v. Windsor come up. Then it's "help we need more government to enforce inequality". Rion showed you the direct result of the core republican policy.
Do you not see the greater significance of Trump being elected? I've talked to people who said their reason for voting for him was 'they didn't like to be called racists and homophobes'. Do you know see what's been happening with civil rights involving police shootings of unarmed black kids like Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman who got away completely free? Do you ignore the pay equality gap for women? How Trump admitted and apologized for sexually assaulting women? In other countries he'd be in jail but in America WE MAKE HIM THE PRESIDENT! The fight to legalize same sex marriage? For Muslims to not be discriminated against in a country the promotes freedom of religion? Trump legitimized these kinds of hate. He mocks disabled reporters and harasses women. He makes racist remarks about Mexicans.

2 Rion didn't say anything about "Death panels" or even "impeaching him". Hillary technically won the popular vote. As mentioned above supreme court rulings don't mean much to republicans.

3 Blind panic? Rion showed news of hate crimes and told people to be safe and not cause violence!


Why do you think people are angry? It's because a fraud as a businessman, who filed for bankruptcy 4 times (Trump casinos), who doesn't believe in climate change, even though 99% of peer reviewed papers accept it, who is a racist, who has no political experience, who sexually assaults women, who wants to break up NATO, IS THE MOST POWERFUL MAN ON THE PLANET!

The world was full of racist and homophobes with or without Trump. It's not as if him becoming president just magically caused them to appear; on the contrary, he became president impart because they're already all over the place, and he knew how to appeal to them.

There's no reason to only go into hysterics now. Sometimes the world sucks. I'm not saying not to do anything about it, but making a scene about it in a thread for Zelda players doesn't help anything.

I think the problem is that this is a place for every player. This is a place where people from all corners of the Wii U version come to hang out instead of being with their own character because over there it's either all competitive, or just focused on that one character. The Zelda thread has been more focused on Pokémon than Zelda for a while. People come here to have actual conversations that seem, I don't know, fun. Maybe I'm just overthinking this.
