The Anime cutscenes are nice, but I was always put off by the fact that they duplicate events shown in-game as well, which kind of steals the impact when eg. Crono sacrifices himself the second time. It would have been nice if perhaps there had been a menu option to toggle showing anime scenes, in-game, or both.

Yeah, it can, but it’s ridiculously tight.

If on a new game+, starting with the increased social stats, definitely. On a regular new game, barely, but you’ll almost certainly have to follow a guide.

If you even have a capture card. Sure, they say you can do it before 7/7 (now 11/19), but it’s still disabled throughout the whole game. Very generous. /snark

I think most people who say they’ve done it without a guide still have some knowledge. Just knowing that Temperance and Fortune can help you get extra time, and then prioritizing them, goes a long way to getting everything done in time.

Just maxing all confidants won’t show you all of the story, as that includes hang-out events that don’t rank you up. Even the 100% guide says you’ll have to make some trade-offs, and most people are going to play far below optimal (which requires good knowledge ahead of time of roughly how much to focus on social…

Can we drop the use of “Mary Sue” as a way to insult a character we don’t like? It’s really jumped the shark at this point if Makoto can be called a Mary Sue.

It’s not all, or even close to it. I actually ended up getting it without trying. I think the biggest trick is that you need to play reasonably often with all party members, so she’ll comment on them. If you stuck to just a few characters, then you’ll be missing out on a lot.

If you can manage the difficulty of the original P3 (FES), then you can emulate that on most modern computers (using the original disk, so no need to break any laws).

Including Aigis and Elizabeth, who they forgot to remove the romantic/sexual subtext from. It’s kinda sad that accidental gay is the only gay we get, but at least it’s better than what P5 has to offer in that realm.

Not always, no. Generally what people swatting do is use some type of service (being vague here because I’m not going to give anyone tips) that masks their real number. Police have to take this type of thing seriously even if the caller is hiding their identity (and there are legitimate reasons to call through these…

That’s law specific to trademarks, not copyright, so it only applies to games which use one of Nintendo’s trademarks in the title (such as Pokemon Uranium). The IP itself is covered by copyright, so if a game is made that eg. uses the Zelda IP but none of the trademarks in the title or branding, then Nintendo wouldn’t…

“You can’t trust people to look up the sources of quotes to confirm, though.”

So does this mean we can finally stop hearing about how she scammed people out of their money for this project?

Well, his previous goal was to be an e-sports pro, so he’s got experience with “ambitious bordering on impractical.”

Except... this post wasn’t written by Jason. The conspiracy must go deeper than we thought!

Quite interesting. I actually did a bit of ROM hacking myself, a few years after this, though it was just playing around to see how things work. By that time, tools were available that helped immensely with translation. You could load a ROM into a file and view the hex* code alongside what it meant (if someone else…

I suppose a lot of dark clouds means a lot of silver linings.

Hmm... you know, it occurs to me that a lot of territory in North America was stolen from the natives. What would you say to a kind request from them that all the European invaders and their descendants kindly clear out?

Well... she didn’t consciously choose the costume even in-universe. It just magically appears on her, and the first time it does, she’s notable put off by how much cleavage it bares.
