  • RE: The "Shueisha" Thread II

    For 1 month only, there's a special forum handled by Shueisha that uses AI to translate posts to remove the language barrier between fan discussions. Seems like an interesting concept?

    I suggest you and anyone who is very unhappy about it to stop paying for the service if you think they do a bad job and don't deserve your cash. Somewhere I think you only wish they did a better job as the official media, but if it's upsetting people I think it'd make sense to stop paying* considering you have access to read TCB for free anyway. You've obtained the "real knowledge and experience" from the TCB version, nothing from the JJK lore was missed.

    *edit - and peruse MangaPlus

    Out of curiosity, can you explain? It's all JJK fans keep saying weekly without examples. Vocal readers seem more focused about being a QA or editor about the translations instead of talking about the actual chapter, which I think is a little ironic? Okay, people are expressing dissatisfaction, but to go spam Viz to get the translator fired over it when there's a whole team involved, that's the WTF part for me.

    I'm a casual reader and I'm not going to pretend I know Gojo to the hip to realize something was off in his 2-page exposition to the reader about why he can't use Black Flash.

  • RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

    I heard about that one, but thought the newest patch addressed it. I’m glad I didn’t run into the issue at all. I hope people decided to move on with the story and come back to it via chapter select for completion's sake.

  • RE: Detective Conan (Case Closed)

    Thanks for posting what that was. I saw the series was recently updated but as usual I couldn’t tell what was the new update.

    @Nobodyman said in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth:

    Gears and Gambits is the worst mini-game. Even the developers were like, "Yeah, we know this mini-game sucks, so here's an optimization option you can use and we won't penalize you for it."

    It wasn't my favorite either but I wondered if it tickled the people who adored the FF12 gambit system way more than I ever did.

    The Avalanche story behind it was a real bittersweet treat though yeah.

    I'm shocked and was pumped at the thought of being able to see M27 relatively soon, but did they really skip over Bride of Halloween and Black Iron Submarine? I think it's going to be a thing where it'll be in theaters everywhere except North America, haha

  • RE: New Forum Bug Thread

    @access-timeco said in New Forum Bug Thread:

    Not a bug, but was there any change in the “something technical I don’t really understand” of the forum? Since yesterday I can’t access it anymore using my wireless internet

    There has been routine IP bans for aggressive IPs (most confirmed to be bots) that have been pounding the server and causing it to run slow, even now. Could you DM me your public IP while wireless so I can see if it got caught?

  • RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

    So I need to preface all this with my background with things:

    • I never played a DMC game before so FF16 didn't bother me (I also like the CB3 crew because of FF14)
    • I never played an Ubisoft game before so botw/totk/Rebirth towers didn't bother me
    • I never saw a Marvel movie when it was doing the multiverse stuff

    I absolutely loved my time with this game. I guess compared to a lot of others I don't really play a lot of games so I got the chance to be in complete awe about things that a lot of other people might already be tired of. I also never finished Remake on PS4, but it's not like I hated the game. The idea of a FF7 remake was a dream come true and the combat was a breath of fresh air after FF15. I basically went on break right before going to Shinra HQ, and I didn't really believe all these murmurs of the game actually being a "stealth sequel" yet because it didn't make sense for it to be where I stopped. I've had people hinting there was something weird at the end and wanted to know my thoughts on it, but I never got to it...

    I had Rebirth preordered when it was possible to but I never imagined the effect the game would have on me, to break me out of a depressed mindset that I thought was my normal and rekindle the FF7 love. I got end credits in 76 hours after spending whatever time I wanted to spend with sidequests. I was impressed to see so many minigames (which became a surprise to see as a "major" complaint online) and the amount of work that was put into the whole game made me appreciate the fanservice. I immediately went back to Remake, this time on the PS5 because of the twin pack, and finished the game where I left off. I looked for clues to connect the dots, while also noticing how unoptimized my party was because Rebirth made me better at combat, so it's like I got blasted with 2 waves of awe in reverse order.

    Since then I've been checking out other people going through the story beats while I casually go through hard mode. I went to check out Advent Children again. So yeah it's been really fun, I'm happy the game exists and I really look forward to part 3.
