The best part is the even the DS game ends on a cliffhanger because they thought the series would keep going so the story never gets a resolution.

But yeah no one in the entire series has a lick of personality

You can definitely get through on button mashing, I never bothered with the weak point system (it's honestly not worth the hassle of setting it up) and got through hard mode with minimal resets.

Btw man my suggestion is try everyone in combat at some point, this is a rare game where all the characters are fun to use, even the mages don't suck to play with. Velvet is by far the easiest though, R2 so OP

Hope you like a lot of cutscenes, but at least you dodged the 30 minute intro of original SM.

Alola Grimer / Muk is really good for how dumb it looks and how early you can get it.

You can also Z- move non attacking moves, I felt like the game didn't make that super clear.

Yeah this was a while back. I was a bit sad about it since I never thought it was as bad as the time when teams were:

Garchomp
Garchomp Counter 1
Garchomp Counter 2
Counter to Garchomp Counter
etc.

or maybe that was also ubers and I don't rememer as much of Gen IV as I thought.

No you remember correctly, that's exactly how it was until Garchomp was sent to ubers.

Then gen 4 became the best competitive gen.

Hg/SS Were great and my favorite, but original GSC is rough now.

Alola games had WAY too many cutscenes

X/Y had a great idea with the variety but the game was so easy it didn't matter.

Platinum is top tier but D/P Were painfully slow

ORAS had great features like dex nav but for whatever I just didn't find it very fun

You absolutely can, the difficulty depends on willingness to cheese. You can grind up thievery to 9999 and trivialize the entire game. Of course the strategy will vary depending on how you're looking to do the run exactly.

The damage output isn't the issue, it's the survivability which you basically get around by reloading until you get a favorable attacks. Pretty much all status effects are completely avoidable between abilities and equipment, it's just that he's a little squishy especially if he's the only target. A combination of Auto potion and auto regen mostly take care of you but there are some battles where you just have to reroll a few times

How's the commute on the 15? Every time I have to drive back this way from San Diego it takes me like 30 minutes to get through Temecula, couldn't imagine driving that everyday.

Powers generally nerfed, except lol Tabitha.

this kind of statement is always the easy way to identify people who don't actually know what they're doing in this game

co zones are powerful, tactical, and fun as hell to use
expanding your radius to cover the entire map is enough reason for co powers to being really strong

i think that "varying degrees of powerful" is much better design than "this character sucks with half the units in the game so they're borderline unusable"

I was trying really hard to be concise but powers specifically (not d2d) went from stuff like Samurai Spirit / 2 star Gold Rush / tower of power with towers to Sonic Boom and Supply Chain. I did forget Deep Strike being pretty ridiculous too.

Also I know I typed a lot but I specifically said DoR was trying to fix the chaotic un-balance of DS so I'm not sure what you're trying to correct.

It's a very easy game and there aren't really any truly important missables other than Alexander materia (which I never managed to get).

Alexander isn't missable, you can go back for it, it's just a different path but the same actions.

Game is easy so just sit back and enjoy it. Explore the map when you have the capabilities to do so, going straight through the story misses a lot of content.

Day 2, the last entry in this series was 2008.

Original: Very minimalist compared to the others. One power per CO, 3 COs per color. All the countries fight each other in the story. Maps on the smaller side. Arguably the hardest game of the series.

AW2: Added a lot; super CO powers, each color got a new CO, a few new units. Black hole is now exclusively the enemy, and has 4 of its own COs added. Story missions now allow you to select COs within the color of the country you were at.

AWDS: Each color got another new CO, with 3 new black hole COs. Added skills that you can equip for boosts. Among other units added stealths and black bombs which heavily influence strategies in war room. Reduced charge time for powers, POWERS EVERYWHERE. Included mini games where you drive a unit around and survival maps with time/ turn/ money limitations. Sturm removed in favor of Darth Vader.

Days of Ruin: Full series reboot, all new characters + story. Grimdark edgy world now. Complete balance revamp of units, added bikes and anti tank units to counter old cheese strats (mech / tank swarm). COs now enter units and effect a limited area, power now only grows when things are damaged in said area. Powers generally nerfed, except lol Tabitha. REMOVAL OF WAR ROOM.

I've actually been replaying this series recently. Personally, I thought dual strike was the most fun despite largely being a broken mess. I liked days of ruin and they really needed a reset after gong overboard with DS, but war room being gone, the inability to pick COs in missions, and not getting powers until over halfway through all really held it back.

I'd love a new one, what say you guys?

Original: Medieval setting, (almost) all characters can access all jobs, gender affects stats. Abilities learned through job levels, jobs unlocked by combinations of job levels. A lot of characters have unique classes. Monsters are recruitable. Story is basically game of thrones.

FFTA: Fantasy setting, would call it standard fantasy setting. Abilities learned through equipment and gaining AP. Sidequests are largely now combat missions instead of pure dispatch, with over 100 missions. Jobs are locked to races. Unique classes removed (some enemies have some). Law system penalizes you for taking certain actions. Story has you trying to return to the real world despite everyone else wanting to stay.

FFTA2: Same setting as above, same basic gameplay. MP now starts at 0 and recovers per turn. Law system removed. Some classes require story progression / completion of sidequests to unlock. Heavy emphasis on sidequests, expanded postgame. Story may have been written by a 6 year old (I can't even pretend to be impartial to how bad it is).

Thought I could make a topic a day with a couple different series that have died and gauge people's interest. Let me know if you have any ideas, was thinking of advance wars too, has to be a series though.

And that's seven straight round of 16 losses for Mexico at world cups. Such a promising start over the world champs sees the same end result as the past 6 world cups.

As frustrating as it is, I think it's probably accurate. Over the entire course of that time I would say they've been a top 20 team in the world, but certainly not a top 10 team. And they have always lacked the true superstar that will put them over the top, which unfortunately I don't think is changing anytime soon.

Was it bad RNG though or was it more I'm gonna not save and then not pay attention to my HP values?

Man that yellow bar lag disappeared when the bar turned blank though.

Pokemon runs are RNG when you're running just one game (heart gold didn't even get finished when they last ran it), let alone two games.

Add to that the fact that yellow was de-syncing almost instantly every time he tried to line them up and it's they even got as far as they did.
