Yeee. Played really fun strategy game that's about it. Heh now that I'm done with huge series like Urusei Yatsura might as well go watch it too. It's certainly better to binge then Conan xD. Nah seen only Fate/Zero. I'm interested in the franchise but eh.

Finally finished it. Really fun most of the time but 195 eps for the first kiss is kinda long tho. Ran and Megane best charas and Ryuunosuke the worst one, they should have cut her eps entirely it would be shorter and better. They gave nothing to the plot and were always EXACTLY the same leading to nothing. Did it pioneer the harem genre tho. Only Lum was into Ataru, while in harem everyone is into MC. But the remake doesn't have the original actors and they were great.

Heh who's this Eren Yeager fellow xD.
Hoho a new Monogatari haven't seen one since 2019 with Nadeko but no Araragi eh even tho Shinobu is in the cast hmmm... And speaking of Nadeko seen this xD

I have a feeling you'd enjoy this UQ girl

Oh awesome, yeah that's a sick synergy. Seems like she has the highest base atk of all the Foreigners, so to get a beefy percentile buff on top of that is pretty substantial. Think its the first time I've heard of a CE having that kind of situational damage multiplier effect, pretty cool.
Yeah it's all very confusing. If anything, shouldn't the 3rd ascension actually be the one out of them all that shouldn't have her memories? lol Cus she never took that form, it was a different version of her at that point in the story when it appeared. Unless its just that she has knowledge of that other version of Castoria while not being her like how it was in the story.

Ah yeah I certainly understand and can relate to that mentality, when the game doesn't do a good enough job of convincing you that the character you're facing is on your level, after everything else you've been through. Heck in a similar vain, the disrespect that Kadoc showed us and him downplaying our abilities as a master when we were fresh-off of defeating Goetia is part of why I found him unlikeable.

Seems like thinking the blood could've been a stylistic choice was copium on my part, since it wasn't quite as blatantly obvious as with the outfit tweaks at first glance. But yeah it's certainly jarring for her to shower the landscape with an enemies blood but remain relatively clean lol I don't get why that splatter detail which was consistent with the visuals mattered so much, Japanese gore censorship can be weird and specific sometimes from what I've observed and heard.
True, it's almost always the braindead and loud Twittard minority who also typically don't even contribute to the games sales either way that get listened to, it's maddening.

Yep I beat Stellar Blade a few days ago. I found out that it has multiple endings and two different final bosses depending on a decision you make near the end, so I'll very likely replay it in the future to see the boss and other content that I missed, although it won't be anytime in the very near future I think. Easily one of the most difficult games I've played, the mechanics are pretty damn tough to get good at but it feels amazing when you execute stuff well, and gives you plenty of tools to be stylish af in combat similar to Devil May Cry. The ending also seems to strongly hint at a potential sequel. One of my only gripes is that the last 5 bosses were relatively close to one-another without too much in-between and the pacing felt pretty fast towards the end, it was as if there should've maybe been one last open-world area to explore for that final stretch of the game, but overall I'd give it an 8/10.

You're on the second Date A Live season, right? Well, it's pretty much the same thing - MC goes on dates with new girls and his harem is expanding further. There's usually some short-lived crisis involved, but nothing I'd call major. After girls are added to the harem their interactions with the MC become rather mild.

As far as I'm aware (might be mistaken) even in the West getting employed with a criminal history is problematic, but that's only if you don't have money and have to work "normal" jobs. In my country a guy who served real sentence managed to became a president... Probably wouldn't be possible in Japan.

All I know about OP's Yamato is weird people being obsessed with her gender. If it's something like Ruka from Stein's Gate, then my condolences to the One Piece community. But yes, 1000+ episodes is too large of a commitment.

Sony killed Senran Kagura some years ago, so if you don't mind getting into a dead franchise - then sure, why not? It has great characters and art, although the story itself is mediocre and gameplay isn't that amazing either.

So Shizune's alive, I see. Wonder why I've been thinking she wasn't... How's Boruto going, anyway? I saw that its first part apparently concluded and from what I can tell the original is still popular, although mostly among kids - it was weird discussing it with a 10 y.o. boy I was asked to babysit some time ago.

I'm planning to pull for Firefly too, she is one of the better HSR characters. Also, any interest I had in Robin died when I heard that all her official songs are in English.

Don't know if this information is reliable or not, but I've read somewhere that after Calvard's arc there should be at least other two arcs, so I suppose there's a potential for any character to appear again, although this is on a level of "trust me bro" gossip.

I think saberface refers to two things:
- Artoria's variants.
- Takeuchi's signature style.
And while Lakshmibai doesn't look anything like Artoria, her face is indeed similar due to artist's artstyle.

Yeah, I've played it, but I've been doing it in Japanese, so don't expect me to have an in-depth understanding of it. Also, I'm fine with spoilers since I've dropped the game and not planning to go back.

The pricing is honestly crazy. Take any Kiseki game for example. I have so much fun with it for so little money spent, and on the other hand games like HSR offer me much, much, much less value but expect much more money even though the base thing is free. I wish Falcom would make a Kickstarter or something for proper EN translations, I don't have that much money but even I wouldn't mind paying like $100 for each game if it meant getting good text instead of that barbaric garbage NISA spews.

Hmm, well students have an environment where they can easily interact with each other, make joint plans for pastime, etc. Even putting aside that I'm not really interesting in "meeting new people" to hang out with/date, where would I even go to find such people if I wanted to?

Ah yes they added that recently. Even tho I've been using script that added that for years before they finally implemented it. And it's still better than the one they implemented cuz it fitted better to the mal coloristic and it was just easier to look at xD


Yee I have style that sets it as it was in the past tho it's only visible to me.

Still I remember beating it back when I had no shmup/danmaku skills whatsoever. Don't know how, don't know how long but I beat it.

Yee but I'm more annoyed by how everything blends together in 17 and this combining with the tanky fairies makes it really annoying. And the same time Otter Master Spark can clear the enitre spell card and even more xD .At least it seems those tanky fairies are only excusive to 17. With the newer ones it seems like ZUN's really trying to find a gimmick that would catch on but fails at that. Tho it seems like cards are here to stay for good or bad...

More like the Darkest Dungeon if u ask me. Tho I prolly wasted even more on failed Shogun Attempts xD. Well it wouldn't be a rogue-like if u weren't to lose something. You can but overgrinding trivializes the game.

As far as romances are concerned, what SAO has is one of my least favorite situations. Essentially every girl is in love with the protagonist, but he only cares about the main heroine, so all the other girls are kind of going nowhere. In regards to Asuna, I like how she looks, but not a fan of her otherwise. Origami was nice (funny from the perspective of the viewer and has good traits from the perspective of the one she interacts with), although I'd prefer if she had longer hair on default.

I wonder how something like tax evasion is perceived by the Japanese people and businesses involved in publishing. Here there's so much corruption no one would really bat an eye on something like this.

How about Boa Hancock and Vivi? I liked them when I was watching One Piece, not sure if I would now though. Fairy Tail, on the other hand, has many girls I find great-looking and having attractive personalities to boot. Erza, Wendy, Lucy, Juvia, Mirajane, Ultear, Kagura (reminds me of Ikaruga from Senran Kagura), Virgo and some others. I don't think any other battle shounen can compete. In Naruto there's Hinata and Shizune, I guess. I remember liking her, but can't recall what her fate was. Did she die? Tsunade and Tayuya were nice too I suppose.

HSR's designs are bolder compared to Genshin, so maybe they're still testing how the people are going to react. Ironic how they were the first ones among big devs who tried making bunny skins and after their failure many other devs made a bank on the same thing. Even in case with Blue Archive, many people were initially drawn to Karin/Asuna bunnies. Are you still playing HSR, btw?

I feel like Claire and Alfin are going to end up being tied too Erebonia and unlikely to appear same how Chloe wasn't playable in any in any game past Sky and only appeared briefly, but you never know. Rixia honestly makes sense to appear regardless of the story development given her occupation and place in life... And Shizuna vs Rean rematch is something I'd love to see too.

I think it's OK to go by this page when discussing saber face. It appears they renamed it to "Artoria Face" for some reason, though.
Yeah, both Jeanne and Saber look stunning in their Shinjuku outfits. My top three would probably look like this: Jalter > Okita > Morgan, but I haven't read Okita's manga, so it's possible she'd snatch first place if I did. I don't like Nero and Mordred, others are OK (Saber is a bit boring, though). So in a way our preferences here are somewhat similar.

Well, with gacha you win some and you lose some. The last time I pulled in HSR, for example, I reached soft pity and failed 50/50, then got to 81th pull again. So I guess it evened out with Blue Archive this time. It's cool that in BA you can get alternative versions even off-banner. Railgun T was great, if you like Toaru, you should love this season too.

I think movie theaters are just dying. Too much effort going there considering most of the time you can just watch what is being shown there at home. It would be cool to go to with somebody else (e.g. a friend or a girlfriend), but do people even have those nowadays? Most of the people my age who I'm familiar with don't have partners or kids, and with friends it's mostly limited to online interactions.

Ah yeah I got some 5-star craft essences too but I also don't mention them unless they're particularly noteworthy. Congrats on pulling Yang, that craft essence art of her is great.

That's fair, Britomart would be a pretty sweet freebie to get as well.
Tyvm, annoyingly tho I'm totally out of Forbidden Pages so I haven't been able to max out her skills straight away like I would've wanted. Thankfully one of the daily materials they're offering this month are the Forbidden Pages so I'll have enough by the end of the month at least, but it'll be slow going. And yeah that's true, I've been very fortunate so far in that regard. Awesome to hear, glad I won't have to wait too long for another shot at her.
Great choice, she would've been the easy pick for me if I didn't already have her. Agreed, one of my fav outfits of the game, feels good to have her and Jalter in their matching outfits at long last. Feel like Artoria Alter Rider will be one I try for too depending on how my quartz look when she's available.

For sure, the Rin aspect of her materialization mellowed her out quite a bit, and highlighted Ishtar's more positive qualities while repressing her crueller side iirc. So I think true Ishtar would be quite a bit more antagonistic, and would also be a lot more prideful similarly to how Archer Gil carries himself I imagine.

Something about the black & white with highlights of red in the design and her cold looking eyes/gaze really does it for me. But yeah that's fair, makes sense you wouldn't concern yourself with how mechanically good a character might be if you're at a point in the game where the gameplay doesn't matter all that much anymore.

I wasn't aware of it at first but I found out a few days ago too. A couple of the outfits got changed so that they were less revealing in the bust region including the bunny girl outfit which also had the sides lowered on the hips. The decision to censor them is pretty baffling tbh, there's still other outfits in the game that show just as much bust and skin in general than the ones that got changed. There's a swimsuit outfit and another that's pretty much lingerie, and the outfits that got patched were the bunny girl one and a bondage-looking outfit so y'know, they're kinda revealing by design lol Apparently the developers have come out and said that the outfits post-patch is how they were intended to look or something like that which I don't buy, because they look pretty lazily edited post-patch.
I have less issue with the blood thing because that seems like it might actually be a genuine design tweak from the developers. The game still has the same level of blood & gore, which is plenty of it at that, it just splashes on Eve a lot less now. Although it does feel like they might've over-compensated in that regard tbf.
Someone else that I've spoken to about the patch changes suspects it may be a publicity stunt from Sony where they rollback the changes so they can pull the "We listen to the players, we're good guys!" look, which I would certainly far prefer to it simply being braindead censorship on Sony's part.

Oh that didn't take long, is it not a particularly long game then? Shame to hear it didn't live up to expectations.

btw two interesting multi-pulls from Misaki banner Both of them ended up being thematically similar (x2 Christmas units and then x2 swimsuit rabbits, and also it was rabbit-1 first and then the second).

How are you doing this event? That maintenance was super long.

One might say Tohka is a high-maintenance spirit. Ironically, her own value decreases every time another girl is added to the harem since they can bring to the table the same as she but without the downsides. Although, it's obviously subjective, I'm sure there are tons of Tohka fans who are totally fine with her and prefer her over the other girls from the same series. I probably wouldn't put her in the last place either.
Seems like Log Horizon is still being published, I wonder if its anime is going to receive continuation or not. I put it on-hold on the third season during all that semi-political talk that took place in the beginning. It's been 3 years since then.
I say Fairy Tail has a weaker story compared to Naruto, One Piece and Bleach and the same boring fillers, but the character design is better. Also, while typing this I just realized that the music of older battle shounen is much more memorable. There are tons of songs in all these four series I remember years after finishing watching them, but I don't remember a single track from something like Jujutsu Kaisen or Boku no Hero Academia.

HoYo could probably make millions per skin if they decided to sell them in Genshin/HSR on regular basis (even better if it came with a short story of some kind), but what they released for Genshin looks very bland. I know for sure I wouldn't pay for that. Maybe they're afraid of making anything less than "vanilla" due to censorship/outrage reasons. The good thing about skins (for them) is that you don't even need to create new abilities and animations.

At this point you might as well go for the next big milestone and amass 100000 pyro. When I decided to re-install Genshin I was actually a bit surprised Clorinde isn't playable yet considering how much of her fanart I have seen before.

Yeah, OG Class VII got the short end of the stick. Laura, for example, had a lot going on with her connection to the Steel Maiden and Le Guin, that whole situation with her father, friendly rivalry with Rean in regards to sword mastery and much more, but all this ended up leading to nowhere. And, well, at the very least if they didn't make Shizuna I wouldn't end up being unfaithful to Laura... Any characters in particular you want to see in the next game?
Yeah, I miss the times when games and anime were discussed in the context of being fun rather than whether they conform to some schizo political points or not.

Grats, I suppose (depends on how much you spent on her banner)? Hm-m, how would your Saberface ranking look like if you decided to make one?

Yep, you're the first one who mentioned this game to me. Did it end up being to your liking?
I'm currently trying to read Unionism Quartet in Japanese. It's been on my mind for a long time because I really like the art style and I liked this girl's design in particular .

Congrats on getting her, sucks you didn't get anything extra with that many quartz. Oh wow, I hadn't checked beforehand how ridiculous the drop-rate for that banner is. Well my good news is I'm also now a proud owner of Castoria, used all 24 tickets or so and then took 5 or 6 ten-pulls iirc. The bad news is that I've unfortunately been unable to get Shuten, used 303 quartz and all I have to show for it is Prince of Lan Ling. Think this might be the most quartz I've ever used on a servant without getting them. But well I suppose its something you have to be prepared for when you rely on luck instead of the pity system. At least I got the god tier support waifu, it was wholly possible that I could've gotten criminally unlucky and received neither of them. Think I'll be able to use the monthly summon tickets on it later as well before its gone but I'm not holding out much hope for it now.
How did your Yang rolls go btw? A lot better than my Shuten attempt I hope. And which of the 4-stars did you end up going with? I was between Gorgon, Zenobia and Hephaestion, but ended up going with Gorgon. Would've chose Hephaestion if I didn't already have a great Pretender.

Well we do sort of know how true Ishtar might look at least. PFALZ is the character/monster designer of Gugalanna and he first designed & used it in a 2012 doujin, which also showcased a design for true Ishtar. So since the artist has been a long-time contributor to Type-Moon and his Gugalanna design was later officially incorporated into Fate, people pretty much think of that as her legit original design. I certainly hope it ends up being used in FGO down the line because it's cool af:

I've certainly heard that it ends up getting quite messy narratively. From what I know, Jeanne and Sieg were written fairly badly with an unnecessary romance plot and it just generally seems like it had too many servants in too compact of a story for the author to handle them all well.

It was so odd that they put her back on another banner so soon, it did you so dirty with that lol
Yeah I have to agree with you on that, Daikokuten was interesting at least but I didn't get all that invested with this one. Think I recall hearing that Japanese players who had played this one in the past apologised to English players for getting this event while they had something a lot more interesting in the JP version at the same time lol

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if that was the reason why.
Funny you should mention it, I had actually seen it and was going to bring it up the last time I messaged you but it slipped my mind. Had some damn good animation and Arlecchino's design is so cool. She was likely already my fav Genshin girl design wise, but that animated short made me like her a good deal more on top of that. She would definitely be my main target if I was playing it.

It came out on Sunday if I'm not mistaken but I didn't get to play it till the day after on Monday. I'm really enjoying it so far, visually the game looks spectacular and the characters so far have been beautiful af, especially the protag Eve. The quality of the cosmetics has been a pleasant surprise as well, she has a bunch of really appealing and well-designed outfits that you can craft. Mechanically its pretty difficult, the timing on perfect parries and dodges is quite demanding and the enemies don't fuck around. Overall I'd say it definitely has Souls-like elements and difficulty to it but it also shares a lot of similarities with Automata and other PlatinumGames.
Ohhh yeah that's right, small world indeed. They did a damn good job for their first AAA game.

By main girl do you mean Tohka? I like her voice and appearance, but personality not so much. I don't remember this Kode guy even though I've watched Log Horizon, but what I find strange is that I never thought of Natsu when I've been hearing Lloyd. He was a protagonist of a 300+ episodes anime after all.

Is there even any commercial reason for HoYo to feature the characters they've already sold to the players in the new stuff? HSR has the same issue - the character has some screen time, then there's his or her banner, and then they're either completely forgotten or if you're lucky devs will throw you a bone from time to time. But yes, many characters in Kiseki don't have as much screen time as I'd like. I still remember feeling butthurt in CSIII when there was so little of the OG Class VII XD. To be honest I'm starting to think that Falcom needs to stop introducing new characters and focus on those which already exist.

That's exactly what annoys me about those crazies. Let's say it is depicted that Rean x Altina and Tita x Agate are in a happy relationship, they'd still screech at how disgusting it is because their brains can't comprehend anything past some political checkboxes in their mental notebook.
Yeah, exploring different "routes" is one of the fun parts of CS/Crossbell games, even if they don't provide much of content. For Shizuna it's easy - they could just add some new romantic scenes in the next game, she's already involved in Van's group life anyway. But again, I'd be fine even with some Rean development. They don't even properly know each other, but there is a solid foundation for that kind of thing given their backgrounds. It really only depends on what Falcom wants to do.

I wonder if the players will continue to play Pokemon GO despite the changes or stop playing it altogether. If it were me, I'd drop it instantly.

Apparently the president of the studio which makes Naruto and Bleach said that Japanese animation needs to reject western standards to stay relevant, so maybe there's some light and the end of the tunnel, although it could also be just lip service. Well, older Bleach fans used to discuss its story and some silly stuff like power scaling, but newcomers are more concerned with what race Yoruichi is or some other BS like that.

In Kuro 3D models look even better than 2D character art we see in the menu, so yeah... I have 1446 screenshots saved from my Kuro II playthough and at least a quarter of them is just me appreciating Shizuna lol.

So did you roll for Arlecchino after all?

It wouldn't be MAL if they made an useful update. They only make shitty one like forced horizontal favs instead of letting people choose so I have to have a script that restores the old favs...

ANd that makes much more sense

Yee it's usually that but in Pointdevice u can just keep trying over and over again until u somehow manage get through. U don't loose your progress so u can keep smashing your against the wall until u somehow get through. And yee Normal pointdevice was my first clear all those years ago.
Soo 15 - pointdevice (very long ago),7,8,10,6,4,13 smth like that.
Yee I know the patch tho I wanted to beat it as ZUN intended.
Played 17 for the first time recently. It feels sooo easy esp with otter types but at the same time theres just too much noise on screen compared to the older ones (even pc-98 ones), faires feels just a tiny bit too tanky to be fun to deal with. I do like the concept but it's just the worst one to play yet. Just soo annoying

Shogun Total War 2 is by far the most optimized total war in history (on the new Total War ending they still use). And the one with possibly the smartest ai. And legendary difficulty gives AI soo much money and other buffs that it's one of the hardest challenge of the series + it's ironman - ur unable to save.

I was thinking the same in regards to duo servants, the kind where its a main servant that's being accompanied by a mascot-type character tend to work a lot better than when its two full servants together. Artemis and Hokusai fall under that category also and they work pretty well too imo.
Yeah I understand the purpose of pseudo-servants and I'm not against it as a concept, there's quite a few that I like as well and I get that its an excuse to incorporate already established characters that wouldn't ordinarily be servants. I guess its just that I'm sometimes curious what certain servants really look like, so I find it a shame at times when we don't get to see.

Well I realised something that will probably leave you even more baffled in regards to how Jack was handled in that singularity, the person that wrote it is the same person that wrote Apocrypha lol So they really had no excuse with how poorly she was handled.
Ah yeah I do recall, that really sucks. But hey, you can't plan for things you aren't aware of.
Been getting up to date with the new event and I don't know if they always do this for the Riyo/Learning with Manga events but I like that they play the Learning with Manga FGO ending tune on the victory screen.

Ahh gotcha, yeah that's a pretty odd and unnecessary change, have there been any other name changes in Honkai or is Hanabi a weird one-off case? It's not like Hanabi is a difficult/unusual name or anything. Lol yeah Hanabi to Sparkle definitely gives off 4Kids vibes from back in the day.
Oh yeah I totally see the similarities now that you mention it, kinda surprised I didn't notice that myself.

Nah I didn't get chance to play the demo. I've actually only seen the first full-length trailer and then another short-trailer introducing another one of the characters but that's about it. Decided I already wanted to play the game from what I've seen so I've been keeping any further exposure to it to a minimum.
Ah cool. Yeah I hadn't heard of it likely in-part due to it being a PS3 exclusive. Can't fault ya for it lol cute design. Oh interesting it's by Nippon Ichi, is the gameplay similar to Disgaea? I haven't played Disgaea but I know someone who has, so I'm a lil familiar with the gameplay.
Speaking of PS3 exclusives, I'm prob gonna have to use an emulator in the future too to play the original Demon's Souls, since I've been told its pretty hard to find an affordable copy of it these days. It got a remake on PS5 but I really wanna play the original first before I touch it, since the remake was handled by a different studio and I've heard that they've made some questionable design changes. Demon's Souls is the predecessor to Dark Souls btw, basically the first game they made in that style.

I'm pretty sure I did everything I could do in BS2. Miranda and Hein both go out of their way to help you in the end. I also did know about the Victoria lore regarding her sister and I did end up getting all three allies. The last guy is Carnacki, fyi. I'm too pooped and depressed to continue BS for a while but thanks for the link. It looks like I need to register in order to download it.
