Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

I’m back.
Will probably last 30 mins this time. That would be a new record.

@WaffleBoat I don't blame you. Things get wierd over here from time to time. I took a chit chat hiatus for a good while. Might come back for good, might not. Still pondering.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Honestly, I'm pretty sure XC2 has the best system among the rpgs. When you learn it all, it's such a juicy, satisfying experience I never had with any other game.

Some character designs are over the top but all of them are really good, imo.

@TeaCatherine about Japanese direct showing more games? Yeah I mean what's up with that even, One is so fricking mad.

@ComfyAko That always happens, it's kind of annoying but NL tends to report on those announcements so it's fine with me.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika That's some pretty neat luck.

@ComfyAko
One of Japanese upcoming Switch game from Nintendo Direct Japan I like was Natsumon.
From the trailer I watched, the game was like Boku no Natsuyasumi but with 3D exploration.
Looks interesting for me.

@TeaCatherine I missed out on Atelier Marie remake and I gotta tell you if they had shown it on the direct I would have jumped off the chair and start sommersaulting across the house.

@ComfyAko Sorry, is it getting a western release or not? Also, I'm sure that would have been a sight to see, who doesn't love a bit of gymnastics?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Square-Enix are a truly weird company. I mean, you've got stuff like Triangle Strategy (great name, am I right? ), Live A Live and a from what I've heard, a solid port of Nier Automata and then you've got the Kingdom Hearts fiasco, it's really odd.
On the second point, most are good but I don't like Dahlia's design. It's just ridiculous. Also, planning to do a second playthrough of 2 now I've got an OLED all to myself (my first playthrough was on a V1 Switch I shared with my brother and I didn't really get the battle system, I think it was my first JRPG that wasn't Pokémon as well.)

I was really hoping for a remake of Xenosaga at that last direct. I'm fine trying to get Xenogears on something else, though.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Dahlia has a good voice with a strong accent but I think my favourite is either Morag or Nia in terms of voices. From what I've heard the Drivers have British accents and the Blades have US/pseudo US accents.
I'm pretty sure I've picked up how to better with the battle system just by looking here, TVTropes and the Xenoblade wiki, also Torna helped as well' cause it gave me practice at the combos. I would probably enjoy it more the second time too.
Square-Enix does not have the best naming skills, and some divisions of it must be completely insane with some of their decisions, remember Balan Wonderworld, Babylon's Fall and the Cloud versions of Kingdom Hearts?

@Scooby-Doo Is your signature just going to keep getting longer 'til you reach the limit?

@TeaCatherine I have reached the limit, next time I want to add something, I'll just have to remove something else.

It was crazy.
I defeated Nemona from the Final Battle after I defeated Elite Four from Pokemon Violet and I defeated Skeledirge from Nemona without my Water starter Quaquaval since I put him in Boxes as I need to leveling up other type Pokemon to defeat Team Star leader Eri and Elite Four (that I defeated them without Water type Pokemons).
The battle with Nemona was kinda hard as I didn't bring any Water type Pokemons.
I have finished the Victory Road plot, only two plots I have to finish: Team Star and Legend Path.

@TeaCatherine I sure hope that they bring everything to the west, it's not 1980s anymore, we need to keep the industry rollin'!

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Blades are super quirky and they have tons of personality, it's like having 50 main characters in a game.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I kinda want to play XC 3 already but I'm too gulible for my own good, actually believing that they will someday release XC3 Deluxe Edition in Europe. But so far I have my hands full with FFV, Radiant Historia and Octopath Traveler II (demo)

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Which US regional accents does it have in? I know Dahlia has one from the deep south but I don't know many of the others.
@ComfyAko Yeah, there's nothing like knowing that you can't play a port of some installments of a franchise on Switch but people in Japan can, it's so annoying.

@TeaCatherine Yeah, the pain is unbearable. For instance, I'd love to play Threads of Fate on ps1 (on ps3 psn) but it's only for NA

@ComfyAko Honestly, as someone in the UK, I'll give you the same advice I gave someone else in Europe with a PS3, just make a US one, there's nothing stopping you. You will have to buy US store credit but that's easy enough.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I mean you're right, but she is one of the more memorable sidequest ones, she sort of reminded me of that Terra person from a different series set on a titans.
Also, that would have been awesome and that quest is great, probably not the dumbest thing in a game though, Metal Gear and Yakuza exist.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Exactly. It's a shame though. Kind of surprised you didn't mention the fact I was alluding to tOH, though. That quest was great and I felt the need to take a video of Kite falling in love at first site.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Nah, it wasn't anything to do with the special, just to do with the fact that both sort of refer to plants a lot.
Why Zeon vs Tatsu?
