A few of these are hackneyed, overdone cliches, so I wouldn't want to see them. Kind of for the same reason Ubisoft refrains from visiting Feudal Japan because they feel the experience would be ''too familiar''. Yeah, your Spaghetti Western would feel familiar alright.

If I recall correctly, there was an article where…

I honestly, genuinely believe that if Stephen is to enjoy any VN-based games it would be either Persona 3 or ..

I should note: nobody said anything about the implication of birthplace denoting the nationality, Himiko Hime.

Hikari was referred to as ''American'' by Brian because she was both born and raised there until the age of 14. She became a Japanese sensation two years later at age 16. But it was at 10 years of age that…

Yes it does :D

If your parents take a vacation away from the US and all the way to Africa, and happen to give birth to you while in Kenya, people do not therefore then say two decades later, after you have been raised in America that you're actually ''African''. Just because you were born there.

When people say Utada's…

Persona music, too!

Let's break your paragraph down, unpack it bit by bit. Reveal your sophistry, so to speak. Shall we?

''People are praising spending $200 (at least) for a new 3DS that has exclusive games from the previous models just to spend more on faceplates? [insert shock and awe with obligatory] Wow''

That's a question; not an…

Well, no. These new 3DS's have improved processors. I believe the whole reason one upgrades their console/handhelds to begin with is because of improved graphical fidelity to meet with the demand of the times.

The practice is called obsolescence, and it happens with everything in technology.


We had the Gameboy, the…

Didn't Richard already do a review of this game? xD

Edit: Just realised this said I sent my comment to PrinceofTheUniverse. Sorry, I was trying to make my own, separate comment.

My point really was designed to run anti-clockwise to Patricia's portrayal of events — It wasn't to say she was strictly or inherently wrong, but the entire basis of this school of thought is balancing precariously on conjecture by trying to overly humanise and adulterate the fantasy foundation of a fictitious world —…

It seems you don't understand (or misread) I'm not sure which. I made note of Slowpoke being an exception, so I'm not sure why you're refuting against an argument that was never made?.. But I also then elaborated on the potential of an alternative intended explanation addressing how one could ascertain Slowpoke tails…

I don't agree, Patricia — All of these items listed (aside from Slowpoke's tail) could be ascertained without ''killing'' the Pokemon as these external objects do not necessitate the Pokemon's life.

I always used my imagination to a degree, since, to my knowledge, the Slowpoke's tail has always been somewhat of a…

Steins;Gate English VN is available. It released earlier this year around March, if memory serves me correctly. In addition to this, one of the people who fronted the localisation also spent their free time translating the drama CDs of Steins;Gate making them available for free.

Good idea. I think I might have that ominous tune that plays in Danganronpa 1 when you get to know each character a little better. The melancholic one that plays when they usually confide in something dark or personal to you.

What did you mean by ''two books to be read twice''? Is that an allusion to its in-depth and nuanced subtext that can be interpreted differently, assuming it's standalone as opposed to part of a bigger lore? Or is it actually a two book light novel series?

And how long is the light novel?

Oh, mine. Definitely the MC of P3. But I'm a little biased in my reasoning; I prefer the ambitious and grandiose scope of P3 and it's enigmatically silent protagonist. All the characters —despite being around the same age as the cast of P4 during their own respective debut— were depicted as more mature, older people…

Probably became more about the game and less about his own insights & genius. The lyrics, that is. Which is why it feels so empty and cheesy, as it wasn't personal or from the heart .

My rationalisation of it was that they were all living in their own 'reality marble' that mirrored the surroundings of everyone else's (hence why each character played at the school). So, everyone won their 'own' way through their reality before being condensed into the shadow world all together, at the very end of…

Exactly like BlazBlue. It's made by the same developers too. But the fights aren't as hard as Blazblue.

Yeah, it did. But from what I heard the localisation for the text translation was not complete, hence the delay in the west. I could be wrong.

Richard, who's your preference? MC of P3 or MC of P4?
