Thanks guys I don’t feel I’ve missed a great deal, I have a dilemma though I’m playing through P4G on steam right now but I sorta wanna grab TMS for switch..I know SMTV is coming this year as well so I don’t know if I should grab Tokyo?? Should I just stick with P4G
imo TMS#FE is worth playing, i just don't know how it compares to Persona, i heard the Switch version streamlines the combat a bit to make the attack sequences shorter.
its pretty cool RPG spin off, specially dungeons and combat, watch a few videos to see if you can stand the pop presentation though 🤭

Try out the SMT games on the 3DS.

Seconded. SMT4 and 4A were both great. They've got a couple issues, but they're great games overall. The soundtracks are killer.

Soul Hackers is alright. Fun, but pretty archaic. I've only played the first Devil Survivor, but that was a really good SRPG. Pretty tough, though.

I would not recommend SH to Persona only people because of how your demons can't level and many of them have issues with MAG. The 3DS Devuru Survivor was pretty great as well they should try that out over TMS.

We really need Nintendo to make some announcements for the year. The news is barren and we're all going mad.
Ye. World will hold me for about 3 weeks but other than that I'll work on work and backlog myself cause of the water drought in Cali. I mean Nintendo. SMT5 is way too far away. Thank god for gacha.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Man, I am really trying to find something to play. I'm taking another break from P5 Royal, because the game is like a kajillion hours, but I dunno what to play in its stead. Only thing I can find at the moment is arcade games. Gotta be something I can play on the Switch that's not another long-ass game.

Can I interest you in Fortnite? Play or replay Xenoblade 2.

Yeah I mean without sounding like a dick the whole idol thing sort of cringes me out but it’s all about that gameplay I can probably let it slide but I even find some stuff in persona a little cringe doesn’t I’ll have to see..

I had a lot of fun with it, but its about as Japanese as you can get, and that's not going to be for everyone. I ended up liking the characters quite a bit though, and the combat is a real highlight.

I’ve spent a shit load of time playing JRPG’s mainly FF and DQ and I must admit P5 blew me away it’s such a radical shift from the formula I was used to it sunk its hooks into me fast, However I do often feel like I’m stepping into a sub-genre of games that aren’t specifically made for me and that everytime I cringe at something I have to remind myself of the good things about the game to balance it out.

I find that’s with nearly every JRPG I play these days there’s always some cringe I played through Xeno 2 on the switch loved it great gameplay fair story nothing groundbreaking great world design fantastic music but a whole lot of cringe stuff I suppose it’s part and parcel with those types of games.

Sometimes you have to take the whole pill dude, im normally immune to most Animu stuff on videogames (except Tales of, Other M and some parts of FFXIII made me cringe, the only exception from what i ever played) but i feel if you are constantly looking for things that make you cringe or problematize, maybe consider that a game isn't for you, no matter the gameplay.

For TMS i thought that the music scenes/songs were charming, writting was typical anime stuff, a few characters did made me cringe/🙄 but not enough to make me dislike the whole game, presentation is colorful and eye popping

To be honest, Nintendo discussions on Era were much better than here imo and I miss that... All I see here is people talking about old / irrelevant games while on the other side insiders teasing exciting stuff, everyone gets on the hype train and users speculate about new exciting nintendo games, upcoming events or consoles. And sometimes after a disappointing show from Nintendo, the thread turns into a mess . It's funny and exciting.

This thread in comparison is just... boring or its too much about members joking about themselves. Cmon GAF, where is the spirit? I remember all the hype around here before the exodus. It was great.

We need to get that back!

Dampf Dampf Yeah, it would be great to have more insider information. With that said, there’s nothing forcing you to stay here if you find it boring and miss Era.
Well I got permabanned there so I don't have much choice left.

I get over it because right now Nintendo in general is pretty boring, so there's not much to discuss. But what if they drop the megatons? Then I will surely miss Era...

Negativity is important though. Nintendo fucked so many things up in 2020, it's important to voice as much criticism as possible so they can improve. This is why we went from Skyward Sword to BOTW.

Think about what you did to get permd from era, and ask yourself why you want this place to be more like that.

We get hyped here just fine, and we find stuff to talk about when news is slow. Any sweet insider info that gets posted over there is here moments later, because this is the internet and that’s how it works.

Don’t come into my house and tell me your drug dealer has nicer carpet.

Embrace it, imo nothing is cringier than getting constantly cringed by these cringy stuff.
 
I’m starting Ys Origin and I have a question. Is the whole game full of these cutscenes and dialog, or is it just setup for the rest of the story? I don’t normally mind, but I’m not feeling it at the moment.

Can you still not skip cut scenes?

I think that was some weird localization idea because I remember reading that she doesn't rhyme in Japanese.

it was some weird idea alright I’m sure my girlfriend had some ideas about me around the time I was playing it I’m glad she kept them to herself 😂 truth be told when all is said and done DQXI and P5 were the finest JRPG’s id played in probably around 10 years.

I never said the other place was generally better than GAF, I do like GAF more. I just think the Nintendo discussions are better there.

Anyway, maybe I can start by setting an example. When do you guys think the next direct is going to be?
I think general Directs are done tbh, I can see a Pokemon presentation happening in February or March and maybe we'll get a partner showcase in March as well. The main Directs seem kind of unnecessary and unlikely to me.

Hope I'm wrong but yeah I dont think it's looking too good for Directs.

I'm confident they will return in time. All a Direct really is is a Partner Showcase with first party titles added in.

Could it literally just be this last year fucked everything up to the point where Nintendo had to dynamically shift gears to get news out because of Covid? I don’t see where this whole directs are done for narrative has come from to be honest.

Hi Animal Crossing Friends. I'm in desperate need of white-hyacinth seeds. Can anyone check their stores?
