I really enjoyed her performance as Lailah.

Ah yes, that’s true. They are far apart enough though that you don’t really need any knowledge of Phantasia to enjoy Symphonia. I’d think Xillia 2 definitely should be played only after Xillia 1 though, for instance.

Since I am in Europe, where Eternia was left as Eternia, I always talk of the japanese Destiny 2 when saying Destiny 2 (not to mention, Eternia USA was actually numerized in roman numbers, i.e. Destiny II).

Awww, too bad, it was kinda nice to look at.

This is also rock.

No, unless they are openly sequels (like Xillia 2, or Destiny 2), they are not related, but there often are some amusing cameos.

At least here and in Abyss they used the same music. In the Gamecube Symphonia release, Hearts R, and pretty much all the times where they did not use the original song, they had some extremely generic orchestral track instead that wasn’t even timed to the scenes in the movie.

No, but we don’t know anything about the resolution of the mobile part yet. Maybe it’s lower resolution, which means that it wouldn’t need as powerful GPU.

Android games are not limited because of the operating system, but because most of them try to run on as many smartphones and tablets as possible, and there are some really crappy devices out there.

That depends on the country really. No matter what any company says, laws are made by a country’s legislative, not corporate lawyers.

In photography, you could use make-up to hide blemishes, and perspective tricks (longer focal length) to hide assymmetries.

Strange that you say “hyper-liberal”, when liberal means exactly that, that you are free (that’s what “liberal” means) to have a boner and freedom to express your own sexuality.

Well, who did NOT expect this after the glorious erotic Castlevania Pachinko?

Correct me if I’m wrong (and if I’m right, some people in the comments also got it wrong), but isn’t is completely useless anyway to try to extinguish a fire based on burning oil with water anyway?

If you are male, you always live with your parents, no matter if you are unmarried or not. If you get married, the wife usually moves in with you, and when your parents are old, you and your wife take care of them. It’s based on the Confucian principle of caring for and respecting your elders.

Does water even work with oil fires? Usually, like in kitchen fires, you do NOT want to pour any water on a fire based on oil. You need to smother it, or use a fire extinguisher.

In Asia, that is normal if you are male. You live with your parents, even when you get married (and the wife usually moves in then). When the parents are old, you take care of them, it’s kind of the confucian ethos of caring for your ancestors, and respect for your parents.

In many parts of Asia, I think living with your parents is totally normal (as a male). Even when you’re married, you usually live with your parents if you are male (females move to their husband’s home and also take care of their husband’s parents when they are old).

Nobody deserves this (as in, I don’t wish this for anyone), but man, that guy really screams incompetence, so he deserves it in the meaning that he really has nobody to blame but himself.

And I to yours, sir!
