What game are you playing/looking towards?

Oh, and here are two things...

FFVI remake using pastels on smart phones... yaaaaaaaay...
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/03/final-fantasy-vi-coming-ios-android-winter-heres-looks-vs-snes-game/

Call me when there are sprites of the Barb-E, Alluring Rider, Siren, Chadarnook(Goddess form), and Goddess, then maybe we'll be on speaking terms...  But still probably not SE...

Now for something I hope you'll really enjoy
A sexy lady who binds you in fabric and has a kiss attack!

Alright, new trailer for FFXIV 2.1:



Two things of note in this trailer for this forum:
1) New Dungeon: Pharos Sirius (5:07)
Siren's back! And this time you're fighting her directly. The music sounded rather epic. I wonder if that's just the dungeon theme, which always stops playing early on, or if she gets her own boss theme. Honestly, I'd love it if it played like the theme of The Praetorium: continuous through the dungeon until you get to boss fights, no standard dungeon battle music interrupting.
2) Hard Mode Dungeons (Haukke Manor, directly after Pharos Sirius in the trailer)
Return to Haukke Manor. More Succubus types!

That's a great opening shot of the Siren, hehehe, and such nice lips too.  But yeah, the themes nice, and they need to at least have the Siren singing in the dungeon.  A pity I didn't see any sexy thralls to her voice fighting on her behalf(I saw cloaked mages and some hobbled figures I think).  But yeah, beautiful and alluring, nice outfit too.

New Succubi are cool too, though it really makes me think that FFXIV should have a cult devoted to giant women, which is not a bad thing...  Imagine being a  Miqo'te thrall to a Succubi, Siren, or even Garuda, and watching, mesmerized by the view as they float past you...

Yeah, Siren's slaves seem to just be male Hyur workers that now appear to have corrupted crystal growing from their bodies. It is a shame that they decided to only use male NPCs for her horde. In fact, the only generic female enemies I really recall finding throughout the game are pirates and poachers, and they're always Mi'qote, never Hyur, nor any other race. No Imperial soldiers, no Tempered slaves to the primals...

2.2, they really need to introduce the Lamiae into the universe, and have them as the tribe that worships Shiva.
But they probably won't, in favor of a different type that's more beast-like in appearance that enemies would be assumed all male if not specified (I saw a Kobold boss that looks like all the others, but is labeled a Matriarch).

I'm looking forward to Persona 5, nuff said....

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/06/hyperdimension-neptunia-spinoff-best-solid-snake-impression/
So the next game of the Neptunia franchise that takes place on the Vita staring Noire(A.K.A Black Heart A.K.A. Sexy Playstation), and it's going to be a TBS similar to Disgaea.   I'm okay with this.  It also has a character that is a super hot genderswapped parody of Snake called Rid who uses a box a lot, I am VERY okay with this.
http://www.compileheart.com/noire/#/top
From the gallery, their is going to be  at least some yuri(Noire was the most likely candidate with her tsundere crush on Neptune...).  I AM SUPER OKAY WITH THIS!  There's also going to be a parody of Enix(Or at least Dragon Quest), the other 3 I am not sure of... But still, everything's good

And then I see the hero slot...  With the bathroom silhouette for a guy


Also, yay Persona 5~.  Not too happy about waiting a year...  But it will be worth it.  In the meantime we got the 3ds game(non-canon but has the characters from 3&4) and the Vita game.  The Vita game is something I actually look forward to... For a few reasons...
A) It's canon
B ) It deals with Rise, her idol career, she's older, she has a cute rival
C) It's a rhythm game that based on PERSONA MUSIC!
D) There's some midnight channel-like thing that involves idols, interesting.

Also...
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/05/skull-kid-zelda-majoras-mask-assist-trophy-new-smash-bros/
Oooooh...  Skull Kid/Majora is a assist trophy in new smash but not a character...  Missed opportunity... I know I for one would like to play as a creepy masked possessed kid with the power to cause moons to fall... *sigh*
*goes back to hoping for Marx from Kirby making a appearance*

So... meet the newest character in the Tekken roster-

And here's the word on Siren-

Charm is indeed a status affliction against her. If you aren't at full health when she targets you with a certain song, you're charmed. She can hit a single person with that, or she could fly toward the center and do a wide range song everywhere except below her.

But as I thought, all her minions are male zombies with corrupted crystal growing out of them.

Interesting, pity about her current slaves, but a newbie all female team would be interesting.

Ok, news time.
Like Dr. Mario, well here's Luigi's take
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/18/dr-luigi-brings-competitive-edge-classic-puzzler/

Some gameplay on the new Donkey Kong game on the 3DS(Tropical Freeze), we got Diddy, Trixie, and Cranky as partner character, duel attacks, and Cranky being a boss and actually showing why he's so bad ass by bouncing off instant death spikes and enemies WITH JUST HIS CANE!

Dynasty Warriors X Zelda
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/18/dynasty-warriors-meets-zelda-hyrule-warriors-wii-u/ 
This is pretty interesting, but I am left wondering if there will be other playable characters aside from Link. No offense meant, just Dynasty Warriors games usually have lots of playable characters, which is why I love Gundam Musou so much, I get to play as Katjina, Lunamaria, Haman, and Lacus.

New Kirby Game will have a versus mode, I like this =)
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/18/kirby-triple-deluxe-versus-mode-battle-players/

Mario Kart 8, also introducing Rosalina(I really need to play Galaxies 1&2)

Bravely Default to have a demo side story that has hours of content and will not be in the full game...  Huh?
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/18/bravely-default-getting-side-story-demo-north-america/
Also, Bravely Second has been announced with a new protagonist, a demon slaver from the moon.  Takes place a few years after the last game.  You get a video of it at the end of the game, but incase you want to cheat
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/10/bravely-default-contains-trailer-bravely-second/
Lasty for BD news, they are throwing in all the 7 sin Bosses from Final Fantasy: Warriors of Light into BD:FS

Cause everybody loves Yoshi Island(except for me due to freaking out every time I lost Baby Mario and the freaking difficulty) http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/18/yoshis-new-island-coming-3ds-spring-2014/

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be coming to the PC January 9th http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/19/metal-gear-rising-revengeance-coming-pc-january-9th/

Attack on Titan game doing reasonably well, that's nice to hear. http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/19/attack-titan-game-appears-well/

Deposit pokemon in the pokebank and you get rewards like Pokemiles as well as BP, also, a free Celebi http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/19/info-celebi-comes-pokemon-bank/ (keep in mind the trail time is free for a while, so you can either do a quick swap, or you can play $5 for a years worth of service, pretty nice...)

Also, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is out with free character Hitomi?  I just saw this and downloaded it, cause A) Hitomi <3 and B) DOA love  
Here's some other DOAU info http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/19/dead-alive-5-ultimate-says-marie-christmas/

Drakengard 3 continues to get me hyped http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/19/dont-worry-square-enix-usa-havent-forgotten-drakengard-3/

New Senran Kagura title with teaser website that has a unknown character, 2 scrolls, and bouncing boobies http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/19/marvelous-aql-opens-senran-kagura-teaser-site/ More info January 8th.

That's it for now.

You really should play the Galaxies sometime; the first game justified my purchasing a Wii, and the second is brilliant despite an infuriating postgame.

As for the new Yoshi game, I want to look forward to it, because I loved the SNES game and because I've been enjoying the new Zelda despite first finding it just as bland back on E3... but the game looks just as blah as back when it was first announced. At least ALBW had the wall-merging mechanic as a promise that it wouldn't just be a retread of a 22 year-old game, and later on they revealed the rental system to spice up the old formula. So far there's nothing that might give people hope that the new Yoshi won't be any better than the DS game.

Also, re: Tropical Freeze, more games need to have Scrooge McDuck in them.

Hey Rainday, I've got good news and bad news.

The Good News: XSEED appears to be talking about hinting at localizing Senran Kagura: Shinovi Vs.

The Bad News: I'm pretty sure that was only developed for Vita. You don't have that, right?

I've been planning on getting a Vita a lot recently, because it's starting to get some really nice stuff like Dangan Ronpa 1&2, and it has all the NIS/GUST remakes on it with more content.  There are a few other niche things like that lesbian prison game and other things I'm looking into as well.

But yeah, that quite the good news dood.  It makes me wonder if they are going to do the DOA Volleyball thing with the ages(Ayane is ?? in it) to get past any troubles.

Speaking of Senran Kagura, I'm downloading Bust right now(after days of the freaking eshop being down).  I'm also getting Project X Zone which was on sale, and possibly finishing it out with Liberation Maiden...  Then I'll get another gift card and get some of the old GB Zelda games(Awakening DX and Oracles)...  Then of course there are the Shantae games and then some potential searching for Kirby SuperStar(the remake for the GBA), and possibly some others still.

Started Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon this morning, feels good man.  Also got Donkey Kong Country Returns, so yeah, my DS finally has a library instead of just Pokemon Y.

age-Soft is doing something with Mobage... of course, most of their good stuff has not been officially seen on this side of the Pacific. I'm guessing it'll be another microtransaction card game, but with age-soft art... and MuvLuv goodness.




DAMMIT!!! WANT!!!

Damnit...  I missed a awesome 20% off sale on Nintendo eshop gift card at Bestbuy...  I am sad now...  It might still be going online though, but I have no online money...  So here you go

Seems like there will be some "humiliation" traps and stripping, interesting.

Also, the Call that we all knew it would be, but this time with emotive ribbons like Call B's hair!  I am totally okay with this

Oh, and BRAVELY DEFAULT DEMO NAILS IT WITH THE FIRST BOSS!  If you have a 3DS, PLAY IT!  Yeah, you have to go through that system link crap, but you're gonna have to do it eventually anyways so get it done now.

Man I love the Deception games...

that reminds me I never played Trapt, i should get around to it at some point.

Rainday wrote:Oh, and BRAVELY DEFAULT DEMO NAILS IT WITH THE FIRST BOSS!

also look at the Blu...er I mean Vampire class in Bravely Default, you can finaly learn Fascination  

Okay, after taking some time with Bravely Default, I have this to say.  The game's job system is very similar to FF5, but feels more improved. Each job has 3 levels and comes with skills, as well as passive and active abilities, most can carry over to other jobs, and once a job is mastered, it powers up the freelancer class. The battle system is turn based, with the addition of the "Brave" and "Default" systems.  Default is basically the best guard ever.  You guard and store up a action point(or turn if you prefer) , while Brave allows you to spend accumulated points in a single turn.  So basically, if you have 3 points, you could Brave 3 times, and launch 3 basic attacks or spells, or use a powerful skill.  You can Brave more than 3 times, but if you do you risk going into the negatives, which means you can't take any action.  You get one free point per turn that at least allows you to attack(Unless you Braved too much and went to -2), and the max points you can get using Default in the Demo is 3.  The demo doesn't go into story or characters much, so it's basically a "try our battle system out" kinda of thing.  That being said, the second "Boss" you run into will kick your ass if you don't learn his general pattern and have some mages on your team.  Phoenix Downs help too.  Also, START WORK ON YOUR TOWN IMMEDIATELY!  Cause the weapons and armor and stuff begin to become outclassed as you go on.  Make sure to leave your 3DS on standby too, because it can take real life hours to get anything done(upwards to 10), but getting friends helps out considerably(+1 friends= time/2).

Now, all this being said...
https://youtu.be/khT08yeLveo?t=2m29s

Now, aging up the characters I can understand and deal with, but then even after that you censor outfits and tone down text!  THAT'S JUST FUCKING WRONG!  God damnit god damnit stop censoring my Square stuff Square-Enix's US Branch(I assume)!

I had downloaded the Bravely Default demo since the 2nd, but between family and EO:Untold, I only found time to try it out today. Very nicely addictive, yeah, and I can see the game's Melusine giving some material for this forum.

Honestly, I'm fine with their toning down those outfits. Squenix knows there's an audience for this game that might still buy it with no changes, but there's a larger audience of people who would want to play what amounts to an old school FF but who would stay away unless the costumes aren't so trashy.

Censorship has always been one of my pet peeves for many reasons...  It's just, ugh, we can't have nice adult things and sometimes the censoring is so pointless.  The Goddess Portrait in FF6 is a great example
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Chadarnook
It's like ruining a piece of art for no reason, her unedited sprite shows less skin then most swimsuits.  Add ontop of that that the actual Goddess( http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Goddess_(Final_Fantasy_VI) ) leaves more revealed than the Portrait in later releases and it just makes you go why?   To me, it is illogical, and something that should of been left in the pass.  Just the cross the board edits on the SNES version irritates me.  I understand that she's "naked" under the mist, but she would be naked under a swimsuit too, ugh.

...  However, I will admit part of me likes this because of the Bodysuit nature...  Damn them for playing to my weakness!

Okay, I'm gonna cover the good...  and then I'm going to go crazy.
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/07/senran-kagura-2-deep-crimson-announced-nintendo-3ds/
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/07/senran-kagura-2-deep-crimson-tag-team-co-op-modes/

Senran Kagura 2 is coming out for the Nintendo 3DS.  Yay.  

There will be a co-op feature. Yay.

There will also be paired battles(certain characters paired together), so hopefully they'll make those yuri-tastic.

Boss fights will be on a 3D Field.  Interesting.

There is also going to be a squeal to the Vita game at some point in the future called Senran Kagura EV.  OKAY.

There will also be a cooking rhythm game that involves striping... ...  Why are they cooking... ...  Why... 
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/07/senran-kagura-cooking-rhythm-game-announced-senran-kagura-ev-teased/

There is a video for it, which is well done at least...


[WARNING, DECENT INTO MADNESS INCOMING]

Now, back to the 3ds squeal...  

They will be adding two male characters...

*takes break... then comes back after a while*

...  We know one of them is Ikaruga's older brother...  This can go two different ways.   A)  He can be a worthless joke character, B) He can be super creepy angry overconfident guy.

Either way...  *twitch*  ...

Next up, with have two new characters named Kagura and Naraku...

Just please don't throw in something like maledom villain or harem hero...  Please...  I will lose my shit.

UPDATE:
We have footage of the Senran Kagura 2 http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/07/senran-kagura-2-deep-crimson-looks-big-jump-quality/

Also, Senran Kagura EV(now known as Estival Versus) will be on multiple PlayStation systems
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/07/senran-kagura-ev-will-available-multiple-playstation-consoles/

EDIT:
It looks like there are arachne!

Fixed Senran Kagura cooking rhythm game intro link.  Seems it was too explicit for some on youtube.  Pity, it's grown on me... and Suzune(aka busty bad ninja teacher) and Daidouji(male cheering uniform, bandage boobs) doing the little kick dance at the end is just hilarious.

At the very least it has been confirmed that Ikaruga's brother is gonna be weak and thus more joke charactery. 
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/10/senran-kagura-2-deep-crimson-producer-wanted-return-3d/
The new characters have been announced, and at least one is clearly female, with the second one most likely also being female or Bridget.  Now this possibly means that the male character is going to be someone known, in which case it most likely with either be the girls' teacher(which I am strangely okay with if only because he was used to lampoon female fanservice in the tv show), or Asuka's horny grandfather(yeah, after seeing the 6th ova extra for the anime I don't have any hopes of him being a kindly sage, more Master Roshi, except including his grand daughter in the fanservice predicaments he invents...).

Also, some Persona Q stuff http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/10/persona-q-shadow-labyrinth-shows-mitsuru-yosuke/

New Yoshi's Island is apparently coming in March.

Still need to play War of the Lions...
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/14/final-fantasy-tactics-creators-next-rpg-unsung-story-kickstarter/

Also, some of the job classes, if you'ved played FF5(or X-2, or FFT...), most of these should be familiar to you.
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/14/jobs-youll-get-use-bravely-default/

It's good to hear Red is back, because she was super lovely dovey with Iffy
http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/14/tekken-marvelous-aql-neptunia-v-mascots-neptunia-rebirth-2/  I think her thing was a all female harem, though I can't really recall, I only watched her stuff.

A review/preview of Dangan Ronpa for the US http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/13/danganronpa-let-murder-games-begin/

Also, more Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson screens, one shows the arachne, but her head is tilted.  Looks like it will be a lip only deal with her face mask, not that that's a bad thing http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/13/senran-kagura-2-deep-crimson-screenshots-gawk/

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Bravely Default Demo done!

Now, to pounce on Senran Kagura, or to speed dash though DKC Returns...

But yeah, both great.
