Clearly the bots think the forums are thriving if they're going to this much trouble to be a part of them.

We will not go quietly into the night…

Their offensive has been shattered. They’re now making posts in two places at once, but their numbers are diminished. This… this could be their last hurrah.

…ah, who am I kidding? We’ll get more slop in the future, no doubt about it.

Great preview, i'm excited! Just finishing up Remake after finishing up the original PSX version. I took myself back in time and I can clearly see why the original took the gaming world by storm.

Thank you! I keep having to resist the urge to either pick up the first two games on Switch 2, or go back to my PS5 save files for both and do more trophy clean-up!

WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!

The brave offensive continues on the morning of September 24th! A much diminished effort, sure, but an effort nonetheless!

This is a thread dedicated to the bot topics we lost in the purge of September 23rd. Valiantly, they attempted to stake their claim on the General Gaming subforum, breaching into the second page with sheer gambling casino slop. But alas, they could not penetrate further, and were smote by the mighty mods.

Never forget… how safe and secure those gambling sites were and how they definitely would treat you and your money right.

We’ll be holding a candlelight vigil tomorrow for those lost. This is also a thread for generating further ideas for charity events and the like. Maybe even a communal pachinko parlor trip.

I don’t know if I’d hazard to say I can do a better job at explaining Romancing SaGa 2’s appeal, but… one thing that is very enticing about it is that you have plenty of opportunities to make choices that really do matter. One example is early on in the campaign where you help a nearby kingdom select its successive ruler, which you can influence directly or refuse (which leads to particular dialogue choices), but your decision can also then impact how the assassination plot plays out. If you decide not to bother with the entire affair, you then have to bring peace to the region by helping out the resistance forces and bringing peace to the ghosts of the successors by installing a rightful ruler once you’ve time-jumped. This is far from the only example of dialogue like this and choices echo down the timeline as you gather new retinue members.

In short, there are things that the player might want to prioritize because the game puts them directly in your path, but it’s also designed to handle the variety of approaches you might take- while having meaningful consequences for said choices. It’s not a grand, yet linear adventure in the vein of Final Fantasy, but it does feel timeless in the way it presents characters and narrative beats, never really lingering too long on specific regional conflicts in lieu of the greater threat- though there is nuance to be uncovered.

And Gui, hoping that you come across one of the “backstory tablets” that humanizes the Seven Heroes literally and figuratively.

They probably don't want to release $40 Switch 2 games while also don't want to get hammered for selling $60 re-releases of $40 games.

Just make my adapter that lets me connect my Switch 1 to my Switch 2 for regular DS and 3DS games.

For the life of me, I don't understand why Nintendo isn't milking their 3DS software lineup more on Switch/Switch 2 if they're that desperate for easy games to just throw out to fill a calendar. I mean, Kid Icarus Uprising and Metroid 2: Return of Samus are right there.

I understand that. I recall the days of Fire Emblem x SMT, Code Name STEAM, and even ARMS quite fondly, so I do feel the Switch 2 is mostly treading in safe territory.

At the same time, I wonder how drastic games like Kirby and even Xenoblade are going to be in terms of new ideas. I am hoping that the draw distance in the Xenoblade backgrounds means we’re in open-world territory again, but then again, draw distance vistas has always been a Monolith staple. But yes, I am waiting for the Platinum Games Captain Falcon Action Game…
