Yeah, I think that while World generally fails to live up to its predecessors in unique weapon designs, all of the classic armor designs have translated into the high-def world fabulously. The Nargacuga armor that I’ve used in every game since FU looks fantastic here, and I also rock the Glavenus armor. The new Master…

This is a problem with World’s weapons overall. They all either look too homogeneous and generic (basically the same weapon design, with only minor changes to the hilts or sheathes), or have some truly boring/ugly bone designs. It’s a disappointing departure from the rest of the franchise, which had some wild and…

“I think when you start finding success and landing things, you just kind of fall in love with it,” Cormier said.

Have you played NG+? A gender-swapped Byleth makes a mysterious cameo in a certain location after some time passes... 

Regarding the question about why Byleth would have tea with him/herself: In NG+, the Amiibo Gazebo includes an additional option to enter the Holy Tomb. Spoilers ahead.

I'd buy that PPV. 

I’ve definitely been hankering to play it again. My PS3's a little past its prime (an OG fatty from 2006), so I fear that it’ll explode while I’m fighting Tower Knight or something. Being able to play it on PC will be amazing.

Also, I wouldn’t hold out for a remaster or remake; too many publishing-rights owners in too…

Which is fair; I probably wasn’t clear, but I wasn’t arguing about whether or not SonicFox was to blame for anything, I was arguing against the notion that the confusion was akin to a “time-out” in team sports. Now I actually feel bad for comparing SonicFox to Yoel Romero.

There’s a huge difference between calling a time-out in a game where time-outs are normal and expected, and arbitrarily delaying a match in a fashion that confuses everyone present, especially when someone has a ton of momentum going into it. Also, this is a one-on-one fight. It would be more akin to Yoel Romero vs…

Marriage is convoluted in Lordran... errr Lothric... err Anor Londo? 

Well, since we’re going to spoiler town, I’ll leave my warning here. Ending details follow. 

I think that was the case prior to 2014, but pretty much every FF release after FFXHD has had dual-audio options at a minimum. FFXII: Zodiac Age and FFXV had multiple language options on consoles, and the PC versions of the FFX and XIII sub-series all have dual audio. AFAIK, FFXHD on console/Vita was the last time…

I’m certain that FFVII-R will have a Japanese voice option (among others). Square has been pretty good about that ever since they started releasing/re-releasing stuff on PC. The FFX remasters, FFXII:ZA, all of the FFXIII titles, and FFXV have multiple spoken language options on PC, and even the console versions of…

I started with World, absolutely loved it, and went back to the older games (alllll the way to the very first game on PS2). After experiencing the entire series essentially backwards, I found myself less impressed by World and more engrossed by the previous generations. Now, it’s not due to any fatal flaw with World,…

Aside of MHW (which has, by far, the driest writing/localization of any of the later gen MonHuns), 3rd and 4th gen Monster Hunter had some very quirky writing and characterizations for most of its NPCs. I think Capcom recognized that they’d have a relatively limited English-speaking audience, so they weren’t…

This is why I play Generations Ultimate now. Even though it’s obviously a less technically smooth and impressive game, there’s just SOOOO much more content to dig into. I just finished up my 500+ hour LS/GS/DB run to G4 (which I carried over from vanilla Generations), and now am starting from scratch as a Gunner (Bow…

I’m always torn about Souls/Miyazaki sequels. I will happily play them given the opportunity, but From’s really at their best when they get to rock a new IP. The evolution from Demon’s Souls to Dark Souls to Bloodborne was so much better than the subsequent iterations of Dark Souls. For that reason, I have very high…

I still jump back and forth between everything from MH:FU to MHW, just to get a palate cleanser and tighten up fundamentals, and I totally get what you mean when it comes to “down-to-earth” gameplay. Can’t always be spoiled by the sheer cheesiness of Aerial Style Greatswords.

Lagia found her way into Generations without any underwater mechanics (just gave her a lot of new land-based attacks), so said mechanics aren’t entirely mandatory for a return. That said, I wasn’t the biggest fan of underwater combat (the sluggishness and the lack of precise camera control in true 3D space killed it…

I didn’t see it at first, but now that you mentioned it, I can’t unsee it.
