Nice nipples. 80s really didn't give a damn about nudity huh. 

@Silver-I-Chariot The Spanish developers didn't care, haha.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. The presentation is great all around, and it clearly has the highest production value the series has ever seen. Combat was very good as well, Alphen being the first of the series' aerial-focused characters that I managed to find success with (I didn't get on well with Emil in Dawn of the New World). The story and cast are both hit-or-miss, generally more hits than misses, but much like Vesperia everything just sort of veers off a cliff in the third act.

For context my top 3 are Xillia 2, Graces f, and Symphonia, and I'd say overall Arise falls just short of those for a respectable fourth.

one of the better ones.. way better than Symphonia and Vespera, Zestiria.

top 3

Xillia 1

Berseria

Arise

only thing i hated is Alphen being a glass cannon.

Decent entry. Fun for a while. Not outstanding in the end. Strongest fidelity yet, and I do like the environments a lot. Nice, flowing combat, if a tad...unvaried. The skits lost character shifting from 2D to 3D, but more so the script's fairly horrible overall - a few bright spots (Lord 3 in particular) couldn't scrub away the awfulness of the villains and side NPCs. Dohalim and Rinwell became my runaway faves from the playables. Not too hot on Shionne or Alphen.

For context, my top 3:

Berseria
Abyss
Xillia 1

I did everything in that game except the seeds. I did enough to get inventory slots then that was more than enough lol.

I loved doing the armor sets though. I literally grinded every one of them up to max.

@KingGuy420 That's really good.

After I complete the game, I most likely will leave the remaining side quests and minigames alone. I have other games I wish to try out.

I think I did 1 actual dungeon, before I spent the next 50+ hours clearing shrines and collecting armor sets.

I usually like to stick to the story in games but that one definitely pulled me another way lol.

Happy New Year! 

@MidnightDragon It's brilliant thus far.

I also gave an old NES game "Crystalis" a go. I need to finish that one, as well.

Shall I purchase the oldest DQ games sometime next year?

You should. III is one of the best games in the series. Hoping that we hear about the remake soon.

@MidnightDragon Are there any current Switch discounts at all?

@Dry Tate became a target of the media because he's low hanging fruit. He courted controversy to go viral and he's said so much toxic shit that it's easy for anyone to come out looking like a better person for dunking on his misogynist ass.

He's got no one to blame but himself. 

And what exactly are we supposed to question? Are you saying he staged his arrest? 

@Darling Baphomet Alright then.

@Abby_TheLastofUs Not this, no. Plus I don’t have any evidence to prove it.

I can’t say I observe the whole A.T. shebang, honestly. I just dislike his critics, more specially the ones who beg for his downfall because they really don’t like him or the things he’s said and done, not because his actions or spoken beliefs are genuinely problematic. Human trafficking is real bad shit but I stand by the rule of innocence until proven guilty. As for his comments on women? If he’s being dead serious and there’s not one sign of an attempt at edgy/shock humour (in my eyes, this kind of comedy is totally fine so long as the exact same “smack a hoe” joke is done ten times in a row, only then could entertainment end up becoming true thoughts) well then yeah, screw the guy.

Once again, I reserve no right to give detailed commentary on current thing because I really don’t follow it all that much. I’m only here to make the point some people are overly dependent on the knowledge they receive and as a grave consequence cannot separate fact from bullshit, engaging in or believing in something to support self-interests, not because taking action is necessary. Andrew Tate could very well be among the biggest scum of the universe factually but that’s not an excuse for all who despise him to do so without good reason. I cannot stress enough calling out all who rely on misinformation or jump to premature conclusions in order to cancel somebody, even if that somebody deserves punishment.

Don’t question. Don’t doubt. Only compliance.

@Dry So by your admission you don't know much about what's going on with Tate but your natural inclination to assume that what's been reported on him is bullshit and that people that despite him are doing so without good reason and jumping to premature conclusions?

Again, what is there to question? What is there to doubt? The only thing that sort of comes to mind is the video Peaguy mentioned, but the reporting I've read about him note that both he and the woman in the video have said it was consensual roleplaying.
