Video Game General 7.0: Day Juan Ys: MoC June 9th & Wonderful 101 June 30th!

Colorless makes so many builds cheesy.

Colorless owl wrecks shit hard.

Edit: question…why is narmaya’s hilt so god damn long? I saw it in videos earlier and it didn’t quite register at first because I thought her intro was just exageratting it but know the hilt is almost as long as the fuckin blade. Looks weird as shit to me.

It’s a Nodachi (or looks like one anyway, there are a ton of Katana variations). It’s a power weapon. The long handle generates a lot more force at the tip of the blade when you swing it. It’s physics and leverage. The long handle also makes it easier to control the long blade because you can have a wider grip.

Granblue is up on the NA PlayStation store now, for those wondering.

You can unloock Beelzebub for free by beating RPG mode. Good fuckin luck, it’s around 8 hours long. Maybe 3 if you skip every single piece of dialog and cutscene.

Granblue’s visuals are just gorgeous, man… it would be great if more games with a 2d “look” whether it’s cel-shaded polys or actual sprites could be on or at least close to that level. Imagine Azure Striker Gunvolt games with that level of graphics …during actual gameplay. sheeeittttttt :flushed: *instantly aroused

Ten days bro… Ten days.

I hopped back into Nioh 1 last night for the first time in probably at least 10 months. Holy shit, I forgot how much there actually was to that game. I was so overwhelmed by the number of stats, skills and mechanics. I spent an hour just looking at my gear and rearranging stats lmfao. It’s so hard to hop back into this kind of game when you have no idea what your build was going for all that time ago.

I respecced more towards melee and swords, since my previous build was kind of going 30/70 in terms of melee/magic. It still doesn’t seem like I’m doing enough damage to normal ass enemies in Way of The Demon. I think I just need to work towards getting a complete set of armor for those juicy set bonuses.

Yeah, dat grand blue fantasy game is fuckin’ gorgeous. I mean, it blows me away how pretty that shit is. Course I wont ever play it.

@Million-X, you should check that Hades game out even though its in that Early Access shit (aka beta version). Its fuckin’ fun to play and the story and character shits is cool. All that old mythology shits and gods and stuffs is real cool.

Ima give this game that Abids been tellin’ me about for a while called Maximum Action a try today. I played the tutorial a week or so ago. Seems fun.

Only Barret? Just about everyone sounds like a FouGheyZhee from what I’ve heard. Square Enix has had almost universally shite VA’s since FFX(Auron and Jecht sound pretty cool, but then you have monotone Yuna and a ton of annoying VA’s on top.)

It’s weird because they obviously have the money to hire great voice actors but they don’t bother, and it takes me out of the experience quite a bit when it comes to modern FF.

Was about to post that. This is clearly a galaxy brain design choice, as it forces the player to protect the character’s most powerful assets.

I mean, you know it’s not only on VAs themselves right. It’s not like they’re choosing to make unnatural grunts. That shit is on directing too. In Japanese all that stuff is fine cause it’s just a natural aspect of their style of VA work but if they direct the English VAs in a certain way, that’s how it’s going to be done. Not that VAs can’t be shit themselves but it’s just rarely that simple

VAs sound fine to me, cloud is a 1000% better that who ever the fuck they had in KH.
Barrett is what you think he should sound like.
And Jesse is never hotter

Compare the Souls series to any modern FF game. Modern FF games sound like they’re being dubbed over the JP VA’s with zero effort, like they hired whoever was around and were like “here ya go, read this line however you want. go4it go4it.”

Souls VA’s across the board in every single game is amazing. It’s right up there with Diabro 1 & 2 and the Legacy of Kain series. It’s fantastic stuff and it helps with the immersion. Modern FF does the opposite. The VA’s are so goddamn terrible that it takes me right out of the experience.

Right but a big part of that is the directing, not just the VAs. That’s my point. VA works isn’t solely up to the VAs own skill.

Edit: I’m also not saying that the VAs skill is a non-issue, I’m saying it’s not as simple as that

Yes, which is why I said:

I’m agreeing with you dude. It’s a combo of shite VA+complete lack of any direction.

It’s horrible. I’ve heard Indie games with better VA’s.
