@Tyranexx They do, but, its pretty much normal for people to do that, But I understand where your coming from.
@Sunsy I might need to give it a watch then.

@Sunsy Yeah, I wouldn't play those DSiWare games until later. I remember being unimpressed with the DSi when it came out, and stuck with my DS Lite at the time. Pretty sure Starship Defense is still on the 3DS eShop if you wanna give that a shot. That's cool, I didn't get the original Fire Emblem, only because I was content with the ones I got on the 3DS and Switch. I did hear the original game is really hard too, and that it's one of those games where if any of your characters fall in battle, they're dead for the rest of the game. Pretty sure I'd make very little progress if I played it. lol

Uh, when did SE say that, @Tyranexx .....? They revealed before release that Remake (part 1) went up to the escape from Midgar & that's less than 20% of the original Now, if Yuffie is just going to join the party, that cuts out the annoying recruitment bit you had to do originally & perhaps they've explained more so that later parts won't have to?

On phone so forgive any typos. Early treadmill session at work thanks to weird schedule today.

@Anti-Matter Done right, I'm not against visual novel style games with some action thrown in. I definitely wanna look into the series now, even if I just find a premise.

As for Ni No Kuni, I don't know how close to the Pokemon series it is. Though I do know there are some monster catching elements. 451 familiars?!

@MarioLover92 That's not to say I haven't come across a neurotic or grumpy cat, but they're few and far between in my experience lol. I also highly encourage you to watch Encanto when you get the chance.

@Sunsy We actually have a popcorn machine in the office, but usually everyone is too busy to make any lol. Plus we sometimes run out. XD

@BruceCM My information may be from way before release. I just think I recall they originally wanted to do a trilogy? Or maybe that was earlier in development before they decided to expand on content further.

Hmm, I followed it all pretty closely, @Tyranexx .... More likely some article about it, especially before release, got a slightly exaggerated idea? SE were quite careful in what they said themselves, as you'd expect As for how many parts the remake ends up being, nobody really knows, so it could potentially be 3 but I don't think SE are even sure yet themselves, lol

@X-Slayer Yeah, that's a cool theme for sure. I really like chapter 3's haunted theme as well, with the Boo Mansion. I love the aesthetic of Shy Guy's Toy Box too.

Those other DK64 areas you mentioned are Gloomy Galleon and Fungi Forest - always liked the latter since I love nature in general. Yeah, I wish the minigames were replaced with something like the bonus areas from the DKC games. The game did have some of those however, like swinging from vine to vine to collect those coins.

@Tyranexx Yeah, I did come across a cat who didn't seem to like unfamiliar guests. I tried to pet her, but she would try to scratch me. Thanks for the encouragement, too.

@Snatcher Hope you enjoy it. I was surprised by the movie.

@MarioLover92 Weirdly enough, I felt the same way about DSi, I ended up with a DSi because my DS Lite touch screen stopped working properly. Will check next time I'm using my 3DS. Yeah, they do stay dead, I lost one unit I think in the third chapter.

@Tyranexx Aside from being out of popcorn, cool!

@JaxonH Of course man, sorry. My best wishes out to you all.

@MarioLover92 For sure dude, don't hesitate to hmu!

@Sunsy Yes, thank you I am! And awh that's sweet of them and I'm sure you're happy! Ahh ur not too too far behind me even, and I started what feels like ages ago already xD. Thanks yea, I'm even more hyped to watch it.

@Tyranexx Ah I hear that.. but yea I tell you, you are in for a treat with XC2!

Random but, I wanna livestream this game called "Valdis Story Abyssal City", I haven't played since I beat it around its release. I feel like this game would be awesome on Switch ><; If you like Metroidvanias and got a PC check it out, its a cool and underrated game imo!

@Tyranexx
First impression when i get more things from Ni no Kuni, i felt the game was like Classic Final Fantasy style with Random battle but you can see the enemies, basic parameter (HP, MP, Strength, Defense, Magic, Magic Defense, Evasion, Accuracy, Evasion) with Speed as the character movement speed and attack speed, similar negative status, etc.
The interesting part was the Pokemon style Familiars and they can evolve and learn new abilities by certain level + they can only use 8 skills by maximum, but i think they have basic looking monster, not as intriguing as Yokai Watch design.
When i watched the anime style cutscene, i was wondering why the Ghibli style animation was like 15 - 20 fps animation with not so smooth movements ?

Looking at my PS3 games collection so far, i only have two JRPG games (FF XIII and Ni no Kuni) as i try to get more rated Everyone or Everyone 10+ games than Teen games as most of rated Teen RPG games on PS3 are not appealing to me since i have different interest, don't really like to follow the mainstream gamers. So when most peoples get excited with RPG games like Xenoblade or Tales of series or Rune Factory or Atelier games, i felt very indifferent toward those games like zero appeal for me from every single aspects.

@Blackrosewaifu9000 I stopped somewhere in Wano... are we talking about manga or anime? cause i only read the manga. It has been some time so i am waiting for the arc to finish and then i guess i will read the whole arc again since i forgot quite some stuff by now

@Blackrosewaifu9000 Ohh, then i can't really contribute sadly

@Blackrosewaifu9000 well, i would say you still got the best arcs ahead of you though

I am about to anger so many people by saying this: the only anime I've ever watched is Pokemon. Does anyone here have any reccomendations? I've already decided to watch My Hero Acadamia at some point, Full-Metal Alchemist I'm 50/50 on and I'm not really interested in the long running ones like Dragon Ball or One Piece (I know, coming from someone who likes the Pokemon anime), so any more along those lines would be cool. Thanks everyone! (btw no spoilers, if it wasn't obvious, thx)

@Blackrosewaifu9000 I have my reservations but I'll give it a try.

@Fizza I am no anime fan but I will give you some that I think are good!

1. Ranma 1/2 it is hilarious and very lighthearted!

2. Berserk both the old and the new one!

3. Hellsing both the regular one and the OVAs.

4. Vampire Hunter D and its sequel Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust - probably my favorite anime movies!

5. Dominion Tank Police

6. Shaman King - I know that it is westernized but I still love it!

@Zuljaras I really need to get Crunchyroll now, huh?

@Sunsy Ah I just remembered something, my DS Lite had a dead pixel but I do remember the touch screen working fine. I no longer have it though. We had the original DS from all the way back in 2004 (which my younger brother plastered with Pokemon stickers, lol), and its touch screen eventually broke. I don't think it even works anymore, either.

@tekoii Will do. Hopefully I won't be too busy.

@tekoii Yeah, between the games I got and few Trolls things, I'm pretty happy with my gifts. It did remind me of the time I gave my brother Halo 4 for Christmas, surprised him with a special edition of the game. I was expecting the standard version of SMT V. No problem, it was a good video game movie.

@Fizza Nah, that doesn't anger me. If you like slice of life or want to try something from the "cute girls doing cute things" genre, I can recommend Is The Order A Rabbit and Kinmoza (or Kiniro Mosaic). If you want something a little more action packed, maybe A Certain Scientific Railgun and Girls und Panzer. I've enjoyed these, so recommending them.

@Fizza Haha I had to google that! I know I suggested some animes but the truth is that I dislike 95% of the anime stuff

I haven't watched any anime series, @Fizza .... So, you're doing better than me, lol How about films, though? The original Ghost in the Shell is the only 1 I remember other than FF ones
