That’s pretty slick. While on the subject of tail lights, why do some auto makers still insist on keeping reverse lights on even while parked? This is awful.

Just beat the game but had no idea about this. That’s seriously cool.

I think they rushed PSO2 to make the SEGA anniversary timing.

But yeah, if this was a paid game to get it, fans would rightfully be irate. There is absolutely no challenge, no carrot to chase, no variety in the day to day play. I’m optimistic because I think the bones of it are good, but it’s definitely not there yet.

Sadly, this was one of the most disappointing games I’ve been hyped for in some time. Been eager for it since media came out on it, got it the hour it went live, beat it about an hour later.

I would be fine with it being a shorter game but there just isn’t much variety within the levels themselves. A -few- secrets…

Man, I feel like such a downer but I can’t help but agree. I went from being enamored with the game initially to thinking ‘This isn’t actually that fun...’ about halfway through. Getting platinum almost made me dislike the game tbh.

I think it’s gorgeous, I think it had some great ideas, but I would agree with that…

A lot of these are correct for sure.

Honorable mentions could include: Every horror movie ever made.

I was waiting for him to end with ‘booyaka, booyaka, errr’ to make me feel better about it all. But that didn’t happen. :’(

The Xbox 360 version had Achievements. But if this is strictly PSN related then well, fair.

If they also got the achievements for XI, then and only then would I be remotely impressed.

(That is insane all around, very cool)

Well that’s terrifying.

But scientists should just build a huge exhaust pipe from the permafrost to outer space and vent the methane, duh.

I’m real curious about this healing system. It -sounds- better than previous Tales games. But healing in Tales has always been one of my gripes/complaints about the series.

While still very cool I was really hoping it was going to be blood. And Blood Car could be that much closer to being real.

I’ve been excited for sure, everything we’ve seen and heard has seemed great. But man, putting together one of these really got me excited. Almost forgot how many characters and locations I love in this damn series. Can’t wait.

Yeah that’s the real thing. Both Blighted Rounds and Twisted rounds can basically be maintained indefinitely. Certainly long enough for an entire checkpoint.

It’s a fun mini game to keep your buffed ammo active but the -real- problem is it pretty much makes all other builds obsolete right now.

I always, always focus them first. With my current build I drop ice on everyone and rush them pronto, for all the reasons you listed above lol. Once they’re gone you can breath and focus.

Pretty stoked for this. Been wanting to revisit it for nostalgia sake and to have something to watch with my son. Both have been MIA on streaming platforms for years now. Thanks for the writeup!

To me these are valid questions. Ones I wish we had answers to ; - ;.

XII and Vagrant Story are my “comfort food” for sure. 

Came in to check if Elizabeth Winters was mentioned. Good job.

Great list and convo haha.

Yeah I was gonna say, more than most games I’d argue the concept art REALLY resembles how it turned out in game. Especially the environments.
