  1. I really wish I could find a really good guide for emulating No Mercy with these mods. There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive, step-by-step process for everything you need to download, where to download it from, and then what you need to do. I remember trying to emulate it a few years ago and it was just a mess. I couldn't get it working and didn't know what I was doing.
  2. Yeah, as mentioned above, I had them mixed up to some degree, but I absolutely HATE Blitzball. 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 7 Remake, and 7 Rebirth are the ones I like. X is kinda just...there for me. It's fine. I don't remember much of the first few, I really didn't like 8 even though it was gorgeous at the time, 13, 15, and 16 I don't care for.
  3. Oh my God. All of this. I still haven’t seen the couple episodes Disney+ didn’t add because of the content in the episode. I should try to seek those out. But yeah, some of those episodes are really heavy. There’s the one with the couple that’s growing apart too, I think it’s one of the Heeler’s brothers or sisters.
  4. I thought the same thing. My friend who was hardcore into PoE for years until Last Epoch came out swears though that what they showed of PoE 2 is pretty exciting and different. Still looks like a game you need an advanced degree in skill trees to play.
  5. Last Epoch is what you’d get from the good parts of the best ARPGs and a story heavily inspired by Chrono Trigger.
  6. Regarding PoE 2, I know they’re aiming for a 2025 release, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes even longer.
  7. Yes. My keyboard changed Last to Lost. Last Epoch is excellent.
  8. One other opinion to make…I don’t see the use in killing that character if they decide to go in that direction. I honestly have no idea if they do or not because I’ve managed to avoid all spoilers for the game. You don’t need this to be 1:1 with the original. I’m sure some hardcore fans will disagree and say that their death is what makes that game, but I never saw that as much in my couple playthrough of FF7. I keep thinking of the LotR books and trilogy. You didn’t need or have to kill off any of the gang in that. And I don’t really count Sean Bean as being part of that gang. Even Gandolf basically died and was reborn. If you want to keep everyone alive, keep everyone alive. This isn’t a game where I think you need to kill someone off for it to have actual stakes. So if everyone lives, it’s not going to bother me and I sort of hope that happens even though I’m pretty sure that at some point in Rebirth, someone is going to die. It would be fucking hilarious if it was Sephiroth that dies just to really fuck with everyone. If they killed Sephiroth then I would have no idea where this game was going. Shit, figure out a way to pull in Kefka or something wacky like that. It’s their story. Do whatever you want. I doubt you’re going to alienate anyone. More than 1/3 of FF games are not great and yet we all keep coming back. They did an entire trilogy for X, which I think is maybe one of the worst FF games, but I’m pretty sure I’m close to being alone in thinking that.
  9. Yuffie is absurdly fast and possibly OP. I think she kind of breaks the game with how powerful she is. You’d think for how fast she is and how hard she hits that she would be a glass cannon and take damage easily, but nope, she eats a lot of damage too. I remember playing Remake and figuring out how to play Tifa and thinking something similar, that she’s damn near broken. Yuffie is waaaaay stronger than that. Everything is moving so fast with her that I can barely tell what’s happening. Meanwhile, I dedicated a lot of time to figuring out what a solid build would be for my group and slotted everyone’s materia, which was then followed by back to back sequences where I’m forced to use specific characters so I had to change things up and then remember how I had it set. In any event, without YouTube or anything, I decided I would try to figure out how to play Aerith since most YouTube videos I see have titles about her being absolutely nuts with regards to damage. I think I have it figured out. As of wherever I’m at in chapter 7, I finally unlocked her weapon ability for all 4 of the weapons I have for her. I started running around, placing wards, switching back to someone else to pull aggro off of Aerith, then switching back to her. With my wards down, I started doing the thing where I would teleport around, doing double spell damage, letting enemies come up to attack me only for them to be frozen and then teleport away to keep doing all kinds of crazy shit. It’s not…fast. And I don’t think there’s a way to speed it up. With Yuffie, her ATB meter is nearly full after a few seconds. Aerith’s fills up much slower than that. So while I can do some powerful stuff with her, it’s still a little too slow. Still having a blast with the game and I did get that one cutscene…
  10. I’m…45!!! hours in and I’m only on chapter 7. I think I’m at the midway point of chapter 7 though. A friend of mine is playing it too and he’s on chapter 9, but with only 30 hours in. I just keep hunting and hunting for materials and shit to do. It’s very Horizon Zero Dawn in that sense where in that game I spent so much time farming materials and wandering around.
  11. Speaking of ARPGs, I know you’re both talking about some older ones, but I have to say that Lost Epoch does damn near everything right in an ARPG. It’s worlds better than D4, I think the multiplayer system and easier to understand upgrade system improves on what Path of Exile does, and the combat is fun and engaging in a way similar to Lost Ark. It’s really fantastic. My hope is that they continue making enough money to improve on cinematics and other presentation stuff so people maybe give it more of a consideration.
  12. BTW, I’m also watching the Gentlemen. I’m baffled. How in the he’ll did Guy Ritchie make this as a movie that pretty much stunk, then he gets to redo it as a tv show and it’s so much better. Freddy (Daniel Ings) complete meltdown at the will reading in the first episode is so fucking hilarious. I first saw Ings in Lovesick and loved him in that. I just read the profile the NYT did on him and I’m glad he’s getting more exposure now. He’s super talented. And they somehow figured out a way to make Theo James’ boringness work.
  13. Bluey is one the best children’s animated shows ever. Even as an adult I love it, especially the episode where mom and dad are clearly hungover from New Years Eve and just want to lounge about and Bluey and Bingo want to play whale watching. That and the episode where mom and dad are chilling, but dad is focused on how the kids are never walking normally and mom then catches on as well. And the Bingo centric episode where she’s going to bed and she’s in space and it’s very dreamy makes me tear up every other time.
  14. “That living embodiment of cringe, Seth Rollins.” Damn. The Rock says some nasty stuff about Cody, but it’s kinda couched in pro wrestling stuff. With Seth though, the Rock goes in on him so fucking hard every time. Like, damn dude, he’s already dead. I will never forget the living embodiment of cringe though. I don’t know if anything tops that. It’s also how he says it, with just total disgust, like @Brian Fowler was the one saying it.
  15. I'm afraid to even try Elden Ring again. Unlike Celeste, which is one of the hardest platformers I've ever played but also one of the best games I've played, I don't know if I would have the patience or skill to do it all over again in Elden Ring or play the DLC. If the DLC were released closer to when I was still playing it, then sure, but since then my muscle memory has switched over to so many other games. And honestly, I'm ok leaving things as they were. I did it all, kinda brute forcing it half the time, I got the, uh, bad, uh, fire eyes ending, I killed Malenia, I thought the game was amazing, and yeah...It's almost like reading a really good book that was also really long. Happy to have had the journey, not really interested in reliving it. Well, unless the DLC is that huge where it's almost like a sequel. I would definitely go back for an Elden Ring 2 though just because you'd be starting over fresh.
