Re: Talking Point: Which Video Game Song Could You Listen To For Ten Hours?

Manah

Hard to say as I don't have the focus to actually listen to anything for more than half an hour or so, so anything that isn't obnoxiously grating* fades into background music really fast.

*I have managed to "listen" to Hong Kong 97 for an hour because apparently I can even tune that out. Don't question me, it was a bet.

Re: Square Enix Says A Console Version Of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Depends On Demand

Manah

Obviously.

Though if demand means I have to buy them first on a platform I don't care about just so I can buy them again where I actually want them, not really. And either way this feels like those Atlus surveys pretending not to know what people want. Offer the product I want and I'll buy it, or don't and I won't, and get your kick out of of people begging elsewhere.

Imagine being this personally affected by how well a game sells, and one you don't even like at that.

I had fun with the game, I'd like a few more missions with actual battlefield management in the DLC, and I'm going to buy it either way because I want more content and I'm also a shameless Robbie fangirl.

Re: Talking Point: Are You A 'Complete-In-Box' Or 'Loose Cart' Retro Gamer?

Manah

My SNES carts are in their plastic bags (and two storage boxes) because a) my parents didn't keep the original boxes and b) I'm not a fan of cardboard anyway. But ever since the DS games got proper boxes, I won't buy or keep games without them.

I don't know why anyone would leave loose carts flying around, but it does explain why so many people act like losing them is a real concern...

For the most part, the Etrian Oyssey games are standalone games. There will be a few references and stuff, but nothing you need to enjoy the games or understand the story. Nexus is more of a "best of" game with returning dungeons and characters, and I personally enjoy how it plays with expectations when you've played the games its dungeons are based on, but again there's nothing that doesn't work without prior knowledge as far as I can tell.

Bravely Second is a direct sequel to Bravely Default.
