My favorite JRPGs actually never did get grindy. I know it happens rather frequently in the genre, but the ones that do force you to grind to proceed are not my thing (unless said game was Phantasy Star Online, but that’s a different case for obvious reasons).
I actually cant wait haha

I fully expect him to just be a walking version of that Capcom double joystick thing from a couple of months back with arms and legs.

Oh god, I bet that if that stick had a single player version he would be bringing that to the tourney
Ni No Kuni 2 is hella grindy once you try to get beyond level 100. And NOT in a fun way. Recently I’ve been playing Breath of Fire 4 on my phone, and that game seems hella fun.
Shit I’d believe he would bring that behemoth and just play the 1p side. Cover the 2p side with his Capcom Funko Pop figures and the things he has been able to squirrel out of Ono’s garbage.
Gotta rep dat lyfe.

I will second the opinions on Octopath. Its not great.
Its pretty much a JRPG that only has combat, the story and progression are boring as hell, so the only thing the game has is combat.
And that combat is aggressively slow, and the game frequently requires lots of grinding to get through. I dropped it about half way through because at that point I no longer enjoyed anything about it.
Basically the game specializes in everything that is bad about JRPG’s. Bravely default was much better.
I don’t mind grindy jrpgs but octopath has a really boring story. It was only hyped to hell because it was a switch exclusive.
I have a few friends who are massive Nintendo fanboys and even they couldn’t bring themselves to complete the game.
They were extremely hyped and were trying to find an early copy of the game from mom and pop stores.
Have a feeling he’ll be wearing a Uniqlo SF5 shirt during Combo Breaker.
Octopath was good, unless you gave into the hype.
The story was weak unless you actually finished the hidden end game dungeon. The way they did the stories were interesting.
Best thing about the game was everything besides the story.
Overall its a 8 out of 10. A good cohesive story would have made it a 9 easy
So he quit SRK to make more vids?

So he’s still salty that I called him a 09er?
Poor guy, must have heard his feelings really badly.
You know trying to sell me SFIV “rules” as old school FG “rules” was a quick way to not get rid of me.

Nah he’s always been plugging away, he just posts vids really occasionally. I keep an eye on his channel for new stuff because even though I don’t play Gat or a zoner his discussions are usually pretty illuminating.
Plus I know some folks here are still trying to live that Kingly life so they may find it helpful.
To be clear, I just like making callbacks. He’s just talking about SFV stats and Gat stuff, like usual.
You’ve yet to meet one of my friend who is a real 09er. In a span of 24 hours since yesterday, he’s been calling it a dead game, shit game, and talks about how much he hates SF5 and how he wants the game to die.
All Highland did was give fair criticisms of SF5 and he didn’t blindly bash it like my 09er friend is doing.
You can tell he loves Street Fighter and wants it to be a better game.
I was gonna do a reply vid looking at my own stats. His idea is cute.
Dont worry about it. Eventually Cipher wll get hot and bothered over some mechanic capcom did first but not know about it.
He stll hasnt realized that Guile had 4 normals in one button.
