I think it's the perfect time for it coming. Capcom now has a working engine with insane potential. Insane enough to where Monster Hunter Rise, Devil May Cry 5, the entire Resident Evil series since 7, and Street Fighter 6 are all sharing it with Dragon's Dogma 2.

You are probably right then if they are sharing the same engine. It is visually mind blowing to the point I have to wonder if Capcom had help from aliens. lol

I wonder what the criteria is for locking threads. You'd think it would've been locked WEEKS ago when it was popping off every single day

Probably when a CM or mod gets enough report notifications and is like.. "I don't want to see this anymore".

So I moved to Balmung a couple days ago and I've not been assaulted by a Female Au Ra with a huge weapon yet. Frankly I'm disappointed. I thought it was the degeneate capital of FFXIV? I even waited around the Quicksand and everything.

Try Limsa. If you're not brave enough to venture to deep in just stay next to the two Rog Moogles doing the Moondrop Dance. They ward away all evil.


And all this FF7 love and as a FF6 fan still waiting for the falcon mount to get "Searching For Friends" theme.

Four Job Fiesta for FF5 is definitely a challenge. Started it last week, and holy crap have I been learning how to survive here, with no aoe heals in the group and just a Time Mage for Rod breaking and healing with Healing Staff. Made it to the final 1/3rd of the game, but what a trip man...

Well, this is officially the most I've spent on a single model kit. The HMM Gojulas has finally been dethroned.

I hope they keep the cheesy sides of Dragons Dogma, that pop song at the start is awesome lol.
It added a lot of charm to the game.

They originally took it out with the Dark Arisen version of the game. But what replaced it was pretty good and fit the themes of the game.

Trying to get my good friend from XIV and sort of XI to do a co-op playthrough of Elden Ring with me. Not that mod. Just the base game co-op. He's kind of in a weird funk mentally though, so he keeps saying, "Maybe tomorrow." *sigh* We had a blast back in 2017 co-oping through Scholar of the First Sin. It was actually the final rung of the ladder I used to get out of my 6 year depression. I hope he gets to feeling OK soon. I wanna make him laugh when we get killed by the harder bosses.

In the interim I had the sudden urge to replay Pokemon Yellow. I thought I was gonna stick it through and through with Pikachu like when I was a kid, but his statistical deficiencies eventually had me replace him with the Eevee from Celadon City(who has higher stats at the same level with no training AND can be evolved into one of the base Eeveelutions in this case Jolteon for a 1 to 1 straight up better rep). I never had the strongest connection to Pikachu, though I did LOVE the anime growing up. As a kid, Yellow gave me significant difficulty, because I'd been introduced to the Rare Candy glitch early on, so I only really had a process for the first 5 cities in the game, after which, it was time to dupe the hell outta Rare Candy and make my team level 100.

I still remember my first Yellow playthrough, as it was my only Yellow playthrough as a kid. I had an overly leveled Pikachu the whole game, who always had Quick Attack, thanks Anime. Then I had the three OG starters that the game gives you for training Pikachu well / beating Lt. Surge. Fully evolved, but I had never trained for real, so they were all in the low 40s by the time I got through Victory Road. I also had a Fearow that I caught to replace something, iirc on the way to Victory Road (or at least before the cave section?).

Through copious amounts of resets, and the potions you find all throughout the game that I had never used, sold, or thrown away, I managed to beat the Elite Four. Then immediately went back to Red and Blue until I got Silver.
