It's supposed to be some fan project.

She just posted her apology. Hope she gets through this without her mental state being affected.

How do you feel now that it's ended TC? "Did you find...fulfillment?"

I literally shouted out at this part at 2am when I did this all those years ago lol. So fucking hype.

Such a cool moment.

Its best to do all the role quests in Shadowbringers then the questline after that. There's important context there that should be done before a certain story questline in Endwalker that I won't spoil.

She had lived far too long, taking on all that pain for the world. It was about time she rested.

One of the most heartwrenching scenes in gaming for me.

Also how about instead of the weaksauce she signed a contract, we dont allow people to be exploited, and being treated like crap because they did a normal thing.

How about we call out her managers and the boyfriend for disrespecting the privacy of a human, and for dehumanizing her.

Trust me. I've had this convo with many fans both Japanese and foreign.

Most of us agree with you completely. There is a subsect of a group, wotas, who pour in massive amounts of money into the industry. The corporate bigwigs care about that too much to change much.

But it has gotten better over the years. Recently some idols have just gone on short hiatuses instead of outright being blacklisted.

Then you have idols themselves who actually support the love ban rule due to how the industry works. They believe that because they put in the work themselves and kept to the rules, other idols should too. This leads to bullying in some groups.

I'm not into this weeb shit, but is TC actually victim blaming a woman because her romantic relationship upset a legion of losers who fantasize about a potential relationship with her?

Where did I victim blame?

Murphiroth posted...

Or maybe idol culture should stop being complete shit.

There's no both sides here. The fans are wrong. End of.

It should. But revealing her face like that surely isn't gonna change a thing tbh. All he did was hurt her.

Arcanine2009 posted...

Bf is an asshole because he posted the pics? hmm

Yeah I mean he's dating one of the most well known idols in Asia. He knew the fallout she would receive if that ever went public, to the point it would ruin her livelihood. Should have just kept it private till she graduated >_>

VeggetaX posted...

As long as I could remember this place used to be referred to as NintendoFAQs because there were so many loyal fanboys both from regular users and from the mods from everywhere on these boards. Crazy to see this amount of people now isn't so loyal.

You don't need to be loyal to a company or brand >_>

Lmao

Idol culture is so toxic. I really wish Japan would move beyond it.

It is but Korean idol culture is ten times worse.

Iwamoto Renka from Nogizaka46 had leaked photos of her with a boyfriend all over social media.

She's been put on a forced hiatus in the group.

Apparently the asshole boyfriend posted their pictures on an Instagram story last year and an obsessed fan saved it to leak it for the new year.

Now one of the older graduated members (Ikoma Rina, one of their aces) is throwing shade(?) At her on Twitter, since Nogizaka, the biggest Japanese idol group in the world, is kinda being dragged through the dirt with all these controversies due to the reckless actions of the newer members.

I don't really give a shit about idols being in love. But they signed up knowing the love ban rule, and knowing that a lot of their fans are single men, preying on that allure as idols.

I can see both sides but she really fucked herself by taking those pictures. The other members are probably pissed too. Also the boyfriend is an asshole. So is the leaker.

By the time I finished Endwalker, I was drained entirely, emotionally and physically.

I couldn't really absorb any type of media for at least two weeks.

So basically the same thing but with money?

I didn't really like Osaka, it was like Tokyo but a bit blander, and Tokyo is already pretty bland. Dotonbori is cool but very small. Osaka Castle is cool but it's a replica.

Kyoto is way cooler and more interesting but yeah there can be lots of tourists. Definitely go to Nara too.

Kyoto was dead for me >_>

Tokyo is amazing and Osaka is basically a calmer version of that.

I live in Osaka. Check out Umeda, there is a huge shopping mall there. Underground in buildings 1-4 is a haven for Izakaya's and restaurants which are cheap as fuck.

Visit Shinsaibashi for the crab restaurant, Glico sign and then next to that is Dotenbori bridges, Its crowded as fuck though.

In Namba, visit Namba parks. huge shopping mall and restaurant complexes as well as Tower Records. Near that is Nipponbashi which is basically Osaka's own Akihabara. Tons of crane games, arcades, idol shops, anime and manga stores, and more.

Final boss are multiple naked giant world-ending female statues singing all at once while you have to press on the beat, ultimately the screen fading to black with several beats hidden in a cutscene in which if you miss, you start all the way from the beginning.

It's got different & better extended content.

Oh, this just got confusing. Better go look it up >_>

Tyranthraxus posted...

PSP version is the best "New school" FF1. PS1 is the best "old school" version. No reason to play other versions.

Does the PSP version have the extended content?

Winterking posted...

I would either play the original or Dawn of Souls. My preference is for the latter unless you like playing around with mods.

Didn't even know mods existed on the older FF games >_>

ffmasterjose posted...

Dawn of Souls has extra content like bosses and dungeons, I say go for that if you um, have access to it. Last I checked an actual physical copy was steep.

Thanks I'll do that.

Winterking posted...

Something else you could do, if you're on the fence, is compare the character sprites. I think Advance's are superior, but by all means look and see which you vibe best with.

Dawn of Souls is the one on the GBA right? I remember it being bundled with FF2.

I originally played it on the PS1. But the GBA version has wider range of content?

Thanks guys. I'll check some of these out, played half of these already lol

PowerOats posted...

In most Tales of Games, there are hidden endgame weapons with stats matching how many kills that character achieved.

Does that count?

I'd like to create items and customize them.

Like Disgaea where you can feed innocents into items and boost their stats constantly.

I want one where you can make something like a Materia and give it abilities and stats, and if you work really hard, you can go over the top and overpowered, giving your characters crazy moves and abilities/stats.

Start with 0 and go in chronological order.

The old games are very jank.

This

Lmao @ "I am the storm that is disappating"

Since a lot of people on the right has turned on him on that issue he's trying to shift attention onto the UK.

Not to mention idolising that Zionist thug Tommy Robinson.

I killed a few, then went around exploring. You can't open doors >_>

Maybe try to talk to him. People say shit they don't mean all the time, if its just a one off and this person really is close to you, try to talk it out.

Dating updates? :)

Im gonna see one of them on the 3rd. Already saw another girl and went to Kyoto with her day before yesterday. She keeps asking when I'm gonna move to Tokyo now lol (Where she lives >_>).

ai123 posted...

Are they like trading cards?

Happy New Year! Have a good one.

Kinda except you put them in an album. Some of them go up in value, like Hirate Yurina. Some of her photos cost hundreds of dollars now.

Shiraishi Mai, Nishino Nanase, Saito Asuka, each of their photos cost 2000 yen a piece and thats the cheapest I could find right now which is insane. Kind of to be expected from legendary ex-Nogizaka idols.

Sayoria posted...

Yamasaki Ten has a pretty smile. Stands out to me more than the others.

Another Sakamichi fan??? Who is your Oshi?

Edit: Also you're perfectly correct. She's becoming more and more beautiful as time passes.

Spent my day with a friend, then went to Umeda, Shinsaibashi, Dotenbori, Namba and Nipponbashi.

Also bought tons of idol bromides >_>

Anyway, Happy New Year!

The Gogmagog come after the war between the Mahdi and the Dajjal right? After Isa's descent from heaven?

I remember my mother telling me the events but I forgot the order of them >_>

Jagus posted...

also for those of you that dont know, the devil is named Iblis and is a race of being called jinn that was serving as an Angel before he rebelled.

And there are good and bad Jinn. The act of revealing themselves to human is a sin of itself. They are a people from another world with freewill just like humans. >_>

Rai_Jin posted...

you must actually live in Japan to say that.

I do >_>

Rai_Jin posted...

is she just the same as the one in your sig?

She looks nothing like the girls in my sig >_>

kind9 posted...

This. And what's strange about finding her beautiful anyway? She's not bad looking, just not remarkable imo.

I dunno, its not strange that I find her beautiful, I just find her "Strangely beautiful". As in she has the looks and facial features I don't see very often.

Actually seems familiar for some reason.

Are the mods asleep?

This isn't horny posting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKREXxh_1Nw

Also the amount of donations she's getting in the comments >_>

Now I'm going to Kyoto tomorrow with another girl.

NeonPhoenix posted...

How did it go? >_>

Totally forgot about this topic.

It went well! She was shocked I bought her a present. We're gonna see each other again in a few days, going to a special place. I'm gonna invite her over soon as well.

I wouldn't want to raise someone else's kids either.

This is standard for most men. How are people asking this? lol.

Edit: TC also go for younger women if you can.

AceMos posted...

and this just sounds like you have not watched many english works lately

Probably not.

AceMos posted...

also it now sounds like your not even being exclusive to dubs but talking ALL english voice actors even for american made stuff

I mean English and US are different since I'm classifying English as British >_>

Maybe I'm being too confusing with my words.

_____Cait posted...

There are tons of good American VAs.

You are just biased . There are a ton of bad sounding Japanese VA out there, and even worse music. I live in Japan and love J-music and I can say with confidence that Japan harbors a ton of garbage media.

I also live in Japan dude. I'm hugely into the entertainment industry here (Idol culture, music, movies, dramas...don't get me started on my favourite Japanese actors) and I know there are garbage media here just like anywhere else >_>

That doesn't really apply to my point though. Most female US Va's are kind of cringe to hear. And I'm not just attacking the west because like I said, I think English voice actors are good, even Male US Va's are pretty good.
