Avol

Didn't Neopets also have a version of this game?

As always, I do realize that the strength of the dollar, and a whole other bunch of economic factors means that everyone is -generally- paying the same amount across the board, but as a Canadian, seeing the Switch 2 price tag for the game being $110 before tax absolutely hurts and means I'm definitely not going to be buy the vast majority of games new, if any. I honestly feel like the +$100 price tag sticker shock for S2 games in Canada means that the S2 isn't going to sell as well as it may elsewhere - even though yeah, I do know the S2 is going to sell like hotcakes overall

I don't neeeeeddd ittttt. One it's another JRPG that I just don't have time for (finishing up Baten Kaitos Origins, and then heading into Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and then Xenoblade Chronicles X), and then I also couldn't get into the game when I played it on PSP - basically couldn't wait to finish the game

But it looks so pretty and I was always itching to try the game again.

Except the black notebook quest - I missed the one that's only available for about 2 screens during a -very- intense part of the story and I got so mad about it I restarted the entire game

$650 CAD is going to hurt the wallet. Going to be delaying on buying this one for a while

Especially as I get older, and my free time shifts elsewhere, I've definitely cut down on grinding for things like weapons/armors/titles/etc. Usually what I do is since I know at this point in my life there's going to be very few games I'll end up replaying, I try to do as much as I can in one playthrough to maximize my time and fun with the game. Games in the Tales series I'll use a guide to make sure I do as much as I can in one playthrough, but I won't generally do grrindathons in those games for just one title or something like that. It's a decent balance that has worked well for me!

@saturn3 it's mostly that Arceus had starters from 3 different regions (Johto, Unova, Alola), while this game has 2 starters from the same region. People were just hoping for more region variation is all

@Aurumonado I have the same problem, ugh. I do understand it from one perspective, but like also, it annoys me that all my work doesn't count

I do! Only when I'm playing while running on the treadmill though

So glad I grabbed Mole Mania on the 3DS eshop when I had the chance!

I was still so pumped to be able to figure out how to drift continuously around the top track of the block battle map. Good way to never get hit by any shells

Chrono Trigger (SNES) just, ugh. That and Pokemon Red

@babel116 "There is no additional content added for this title. This is a remastered title that combines two games, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Baten Kaitos Origins into one title. Only Japanese voice over will be available for both games in this collection. Regarding details of language support, please refer to the next question on specification information.*"

Straight from the Bandai Namco Q&A section for the game unfortunately

@River3636 unfortunately not, this will be a Japanese language only release.

Which is sad, because as bad as the English dub was, it -made- the game for me. Honestly, the original has become a major part in my life, half of the characters I get to name in things are named "Kalas". And part of that impact was because of the English VAs and how they sounded on my crappy 20-some inch CRT TV I played the game on

@Nua we don't know what kind of Pokeball that is. Part of Roy's (the character) story is that he comes from Kanto and is in possession of a mysterious Pokeball!

@nukatha found it, it's the "Evolution Riff" course that "Killing Me" syncs up with perfectly. Default song for that course is "Fine Again" by Seether

1080 Avalanche is the game I credit with shaping my music taste. I still remember that if you play "Killing Me" by Cauterize, on the Treetop Trauma course (I believe), the song syncs up perfectly with a major jump on the course and it's just chef's kiss

@AlexanderDaniels there already is. Just not released in North America. But you can get a fully English version (box and everything) off PlayAsia

Final (hidden) boss on Cave story, and the area leading up to it. I kept giving up on it, but it was nagging at the back of my head that I didn't complete it, so I battled it for a few solid weeks until I was finally victorious

I mean, it's great and all, but as a colourblind person, the lack of shiny indicator means for me that unless a shiny is -incredibly- obvious, and I remember what the original colour is supposed to be, I'm very unlikely to find a shiny Pokemon this generation. That, and my abysmal luck in general hah

Chrono Trigger hands down as a different option, such an amazing soundtrack! If there's not enough content, throw in Chrono Cross too!

The first two enemies took way too many hits to defeat. Hit sponge enemies are annoying, especially if they are the main enemy

Hate to be that guy, but Basculegion isn't the Pokemon you fly on. That would be
H-Braviary. Although, I'd much rather fly around on a giant fish made up of the souls of other fish if we're being honest

@Crockin Rambi's face in that one panel made me VERY uncomfortable lol

My only complaint with the (MUCH NEEDED) card indicator system that they've implemented is that it doesn't go away after you've received the card from the enemy. So every time you kill a skeleton for example, the indication pops up from the side telling you that the skeleton can drop whichever DSS card it does. It's intrusive and gets annoying fast

@CharlieGirl I played the beta on mobile and it ran just perfectly!

Honestly this game gives me the vibe that it's going to become a cult classic a few years after its release, kind of like Tokyo Mirage ended up. Looks awesome and probably a release day buy for me! Did anyone else get the feeling that Shinya is actually a girl or something, especially going by his costume?

@WeilsR Metroid also means "Great Warrior" in Chozo, so even if the series doesn't have the Metroid creatures, the name still fits!

I played in the beta, and the game was very solid. Power balancing was an issue, but the game was a very accessible MOBA. The matches were nice and quick which was a real plus. I'm quite excited for the announcement tomorrow

@TechaNinja it's on my bucket list! One day!

Holy crap, some of those maps (ESPECIALLY the Shibuya 104) are near identical copies of the map from Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Not a complaint, because you can only do so much with a map based on a real location, but it will be a little disconcerting a times haha

@Noel360 I got mine! A living Pokedex where every Pokemon that is able to, has been caught by me and had my OT code! Took me a LONG time for that one

@ProfessorNess I'll only speak to the Trevor part. He wasn't cast into the I.C., he was pulled through it to the Danube River - using it as a "corridor" rather than a location to be explored. I'd say it's safe to assume that Saint Germain had a hand in that - a hail mary location toss as it may be

@OorWullie oh, and now I'm Chrono Crossed.

I see the word "Chrono": I get super hyped.

I read the rest of the article: now I'm sad

I do this to myself every time

@Antraxx777 unfortunately I have no clue what triggered them. I'm being vague as possible to avoid spoilers for this first glitch. At one point a character was supposed to appear and help me up a ledge. I decided to backtrack instread to do some exploring and when I got back to where the character was, they had despawned and I was locked out of progressing any further. A couple people had experienced this one. Some managed to fix it by restarting the mission, but it didn't work for me unfortunately.

Second glitch was when I used a warp point. When I loaded into the new area, my screen was super dark and I couldn't move or push or any buttons except for the Xbox home button. Nothing I could do but delete.

ZAMN is fantastic!! The one SNES game I own that I never was able to beat. I was actually going to try this weekend but maybe I'll wait now. Plus, the soundtrack is absolutely killer!

@Silly_G That would be lovely. I super enjoyed the aesthetics of the first LoS, enjoyed the 3DS one, and then after enountering game breaking glitches in two consecutive LoS2 runs, I would like the chance to try for a 3rd and final time

He kind of looks like Robin Shou (Liu Kang) from Mortal Kombat '95

@FlameRunnerFast I'm not dissing the game series as a whole - I've recommended the games to other people since I played who have ended up falling in love with the series. It's just that my personal opinion that despite the game checking off so many things that I should like in a game , I just don't like it. No harm, no foul.

It wasn't the story being "incomplete" or only half that got me - I can deal with that no problem. The plot hooks just never caught me.

As for why PSP? Well because when I bought the game that's all they were released on. Plus, I don't PC game - not my style. The only real useable PCs I have are my work desktop/laptop and IT kinda frowns upon downloading games onto them.

@crudfish on this one, make your own decisions. If you're enjoying what you're playing now, keep going with the series! In my case the series wasn't for me, but I've still recommended it to people looking for JRPG games and they've loved it. The games as a whole have so many things I like in a series that it should have been an instant love, but I found that wasn't the case. It far and away doesn't mean the series is bad - far from it.

@Drake Oh cool! I didn't know that! That's good for people who have that option!

@Daniel36 I love the idea of a super dense connected lore like the series has, it's unfortunate though in this case because the information is spread out not only different generations but over different consoles and publishers (handheld or otherwise), which makes it incredibly hard unless you're doing emulation or have access to those old games. It's not Falcom's fault per se, but it makes it things difficult

You know, I'm really disappointed. I had heard rave reviews about this series, so years ago I picked up "Trails in the Sky" on PSP. I found the entire game, characters and all, extremely boring. Which sucks, because I am a huge JRPG fan and this series looked like it should scratch every single itch that I had.

That's an absolutely genius subtitle to this article

@TheFullAndy I finally managed to unlock everything in RE4 last year - infinite handcannon was a massive pain to get - and wrecking ball runs are so much fun.

I have a save file that only has all the Infinite Weapons and another that is all normal weapons, and they're both great for running through the game when I have the urge

@Broosh I was weird on 6. I had it for 360, tried a few levels, and then put it down for years. Last year picked it up as part of the 3-in-1 packs for Switch, and powered through it on my way through my backlog. I was pretty neutral on it my entire playthrough, but oddly enough, after I finished it, all I wanted to do was replay it and get all the weapon upgrades and stuff that I could because I had come to find the game oddly enjoyable. But you are correct that it was a hard sell

I have tried multiple times over the years to get into (and understand) Super Robot Taisen for the GBA, but that game is super dense in information both story and mechanics that I have zero clue what's going on in the game. I even have the booklet and read over it and everything. It's a shame because it's giant robots and strategy. What's not to love about that?!

One day, ONE DAY, it will be Chrono Trigger and Cross.

Not that Trigger needs a remake or anything of the sort, but I would love to see it in a new way

@Skrijver I keep seeing it at my Walmart's $20 bargain bin! Could always check there if it's an option for you

@A_standard_idiot SMTxFE became one of my absolute favourite games, even without really having a background in either series. If they could do that with Pokemon, it'd be amazing
