Social The Social Thread 3.2.1

[Cutie Gwen]

I’m working on a concept for the warriors of light from the first final fantasy.

Basically before the match you pick four of the six classes from that game to be your party. And you can switch between them, but only after landing a successful counter. I got the idea after remembering what Sakurai said about the fire emblem counter attacks being meant to represent turn based combat. So in this case, after you defend it’s the next characters turn. And the order and party composition being in the hands of the player would allow for all these crazy combinations and setups with payoff later.

I know they would never do it this way but I’m taking an idea and running with it for fun.

I guess I could look at Dissidia but only one if the ff1 party members is even in that game and from what I’ve seen he really doesn’t fight like his in game counterpart at all aside from using a sword and shield.

I’ll definitely look at Dissidia later when I do Terra and Kefka though.

Having 6 in 1 is naturally gonna make things so much harder if you want them to feel umique yet unified, do you have playstyles set for all the classes? Ideas on how to differentiate them in terms of both attacks and personality to help make them stand out more from eachother like a mage being on the clumsy side physically compared to the rest or the thief being more confident with 'cool' attacks in comparison to the more practical fighter? Is it truly worth all 6 classes or is there gonna be too much overlap?

I'm trying to design a mascot racing game based on indie games, and I've been having trouble with something.

I want to include some lesser-known indie games I played or think to look neat but they can feel out of place compared to big shots like Shovel Knight. Vice versa if the former group is the majority.

Though choice.

I mean, the only overlap would potentially be the red mage. But I still think it’s worth exploring the idea all the way to the end.

That is a good idea though. I’ll try to set a playstyle for each of them and then build the kit from there.

I went and got Pizza Tower since it was on sale but it'll be a while before I get to play it.

"Ok"
slaps on terrifs, Makes games cost more

oh cool I got your attention.

Next on my agenda is Monster Hunter. Since your a big fan, I was thinking of getting Rise since that was the most recently updated one. Should I get it on PC or Switch?

Gdi you baited me

Well both games are good, of couse if you care about 60fps and have buddies to play with on PC, then PC, if you dont mind 30fps and wanna play with switch players (raises hand "me me meee mee memememe"), then Switch.

Fpr some reason, Capcom reeeeally doesnt wanna make MH crossplay but im selfish and wanna play with friends, so imma pick you buy it on switch

[CrusherMania1592]

I'm thinking about my idea for a Pokemon Love Type again. Y'know, the one that's strong against cruelty and darkness but weak against insects.

For a while, I considered making Love weak to Fire, cuz, y'know, heartburn. But then I realized...part of my wishes when it comes to the Love type was to nerf Steel, which DOMINATED Gen 9 and has been one of the best types for years. But Fire is not only strong against Steel itself, but also just one of the best types in general, with a lot of resistances (including Fairy, one of the OTHER best types) and being the most reliable counter to Steel in general. Plus it has Incineroar, so, yeah, y'know...

I feel like if Love was added and was weak to Fire, Fire would supplant Steel as the new Best Type in the Game - which is ridiculous given that it's a STARTING TYPE. I don't want the main Starter Type Trio to be that hideously weighted, and Love being weak to Fire would also probably cripple the Love type overall (nobody likes being weak to the best type in the game, as Hydreigon can attest), so I kicked out that idea.

And as a summary, here is the type matchup I made for Love.
View attachment 397217
I like this cuz not only does it nerf Steel and give a nice boost to Bug, but it's also a huge boon for Psychic, which has suffered HORRIBLY since its initial fall from grace and has just fallen by the wayside overall. A new type like this would let Psychic become more of a mainstay again.

That is very unique and I like this.

So from any of the Gen 1-9 Pokemon, who would you change the typing to Love?

Mario has collabed with Sonic the Resturaunt (they did a Paper Jam collab). Meanwhile, Sonic the Hedgehog has never collabed with Sonic the Resturaunt.

Again, try to think of the party's personalities too, you can do generic archetypes , that alongside the playstyles will be a massive help in terms of inspiration. Out of curiosity though, what would you make the white mage do?

I haven’t gotten Sonic in over a decade because they gave me the most wack ass grilled cheese in all creation. That **** was atrociously bland.

And no it wasn’t their real food, it was from the doofy kid’s menu. But I actually was a kid at the time so

I'll play Okami and Okamiden when the sequel is closer to release.

And I learned that Capcom said in 2010 that Okamiden isn't a sequel but rather considers it a spiritual successor.

She has a few damaging spells but overall I'm actually gonna make her deliberatley under powered as far as attacks go. Her primary role will be to give the other three party members you picked temporary buffs and healing. With the downside being that you have to, you know, actually be her to cast them and she folds like a deck of cards if you hit her too hard. So you gotta switch to her, do what you need to, and then switch back quick. And since you can only switch after successfully executing a down special counter, it won't be as easy to spam her stuff.

I haven't been to one in years myself, but for different reasons. I usually liked their slushies, hot dogs and especially their tater tots. But I mostly went to them because my friends liked it and it was a convenient place for all of us to stop, hang out and get some decent food after spending the morning playing bowling.

I don't think I've been a Sonic since I was a teenager, nor have I ever gotten food from there without my friends or their families. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't say I liked it enough to get food from there over McDonald's, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell or KFC.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

That is very unique and I like this.

So from any of the Gen 1-9 Pokemon, who would you change the typing to Love?

Here's just a few:

• Kangaskhan (representing familial/parental love)
• Ditto (it IS the breeding Pokemon)
• Plusle and Minun (they show a deep love for each other and for the people/Pokemon they cheer for)
• Roselia and Roserade (roses are commonly seen as the flower of romance)
• Mega Gardevoir (I'm hesitant to change its type considering how it legit just got the Fairy type, but I can see it getting the Love type over Psychic when it Mega Evolves)
• LUVDISC (I've wanted a Luvdisc buff and/or evolution for so long. IT'S A LITERAL HEART-SHAPED POKEMON THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH ROMANTIC COUPLES. It could really benefit from a new type.)
• Alolamola (An incredibly caring and kind Pokemon in general that exhibits love to all those it can help)
• Enamorus (well yeah)
• Happiny, Chansey and Blissey (The Happiness Pokemon. Pokemon that represent joy in their purest form and display compassion for others - heck, they're even the classic Nurse Joy companions - are a shoe-in for the Love type.)
• Audino (Similar reasons to Chansey)
• Meganium and Comfey (When you look at their Pokedexes, it's stated that their flowers give off a scent that makes people and Pokemon feel relaxed, healed and comfortable. Pokemon that are capable of soothing and calming their companions or healing them in ways like this are something I can easily see in a Love type.)

Chibiterasu is Ammys son, yeah
Maybe Okami 2 is the story of Chibiterasu all grown up because they do look alike

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Isn't Chibiatsu Amaterasu's son?

I'm very new to the Okami franchise, but as far as I'm aware, Chibiatsu is Amaterasu's son, but virtually none of the developers from the original Okami worked on Okamiden, and the majority of them don't think particularly fondly of it.

Hey, IRL has been busy, but I wanted to say that I hope you guys are good! Also, I got my 2024 collage finished!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Also I got the Mega Man Battle Network Collection. Started the first game and these titles are already pretty dope. I REALLY like the combat! I still get cooked when I get cocky, but it's alright. I'll get better at it.

Ninja Gaiden and Virtua Fighter look badass.

I started up X-Men 97 and I really like that too. And when Dragon Ball Daima starts its dub, I'll watch that too.
