    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    Based on what we've seen, It looks like Ajna can recruit people who were villainous in their past lives, and they don't even necessarily have to agree with her quest. So, Eliza could probably be hijacked into helping Ajna without needing to become a good guy. Dhar seems like he's proof of that...

    ARMS

    This stage has finalized my opinion that this game is basically Custom Robo mixed with Punchout. And I am more than okay with that.

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    Seems a bit hasty of them. I vastly prefer Vasco's older design as well, but we haven't seen him in motion, haven't seen his dialogue, his play-style, his personality or character arc. A weaker design doesn't compromise the entire game and for all we know Vasco may end up being one of the most...

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    Some of the reused design decisions do get a little grating. But if you pretend that Persona 5 is a sequel to Persona 4, then a lot of these things become forgivable!

    I am wounded by this unfashionable comment.

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    Whether or not this new girl fits in with the established aesthetic of the cast is up to debate (for the record I don't think she does). But let's not be too hasty when we say it's illogical that she isn't wearing a demonica, or that they're "hand-waving" lore and realism. We really don't know...

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    To be fair, you can be fuckin' gay in Persona 3 Portable in 2009. I interpret that less as Atlus being regressive and more as Tatsuya being bisexual whereas Yu is heterosexual. Either way, it is bullshit that you just so happen to be able to romance any female in your age group but you dont...

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    I totally agree there. Oddly this bugged me in Persona 2 more than in Persona 3 and Persona 4. In Persona 2 you start off as being one of the most popular guys in your school who's a loner, great in a fight, adored by women and envied by men. But since the protagonist is silent he never get to...

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    Persona 2 seems like it has the most ambitious story of any of the Persona franchise. I suppose that may be because it feels alot more like a Shin Megami Tensei game. Once the plot gets moving the characters are in perpetual motion, with the next antagonist/dungeon being revealed one after the...

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    I feel like this was a deliberate bait to get us shitting on Persona 4/newer Megami Tensei... Only a matter of time until someone makes the wholly original observation that Kaneko should take charge again and return SMT to it's former glory. (P.S I'm just saying guys, Kaneko should take...

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    So I recently started replaying Persona 2: Innocent Sin and, holy shit, I'd forgotten how absolutely awful Tatsuya is. I never noticed it when I first played through but this might be my least favorite Megaten Protag. On the other hand, I'd also forgotten how godlike Eikichi and Maya are.

    SG2 Ideas/Speculation (Lab Zero Please Ignore)

    Sexualizing a character does not undo their characterization, nor does it objectify them outright. Objectification literally means reducing a person to the status of an object, and sexualization is often coupled with that because it threatens to reduce a character to a sexual object. If a...

    I think you're right about that second point. In this case the people that want a dub (myself included) are screwed either way. Either it doesn't effect sales and Arc takes that to mean that the dub was ultimately unnecessary, or the sales drop and Arc takes it that their cost saving measure was...

    Nippon Ichi Software General

    With how often they mention Gig in Disgaea I'm still surprised they haven't tried to make a full fledged sequel, even for handhelds, yet. Its a shame because it's tough to find games that are similar to that style. You basically only have Soul Nomad and Ogre Battle 64 to turn to in that regard...

    Cheese, while you're 100% correct that losing artistic integrity and creating solely for money is a pretty sad thing, you're really making a huge assumption that they aren't having fun making the games and that they don't want to. We shouldn't confuse our fatigue with the series for the...

    Ever had any Skullgirls/Indivisible/lab 0 dreams?

    I've been following SG's development since the "Hot 2d Fighting" trailer (back when the game was just Filia and Bella) all that time ago. I remember looking forward to the Friday Night Fights and WhiteBoard Wednesdays to see more of the game and setting. On the week before the game's release I...
