Re: Redfall: Can You Play It on PS5, PS4?

Ashina

Never heard of Redfall until recently so all I can say is, I really don't care if this game is playable in Ps5/PS4. I've checked the gameplay and looks like another generic shooter to me

Re: Mini Review: Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster (PS4) - One of the Greatest 2D RPGs of All Time

Ashina

As someone who grew up with FF7, FF8 and FF9 onwards, I missed out on any of the SNES FF games, particularly FFVI. I finally gave this game a shot recently and I can finally understand why so many fans loved this game. The characters are so endearing and are quite unique with Locke and Celes being my favorites so far. I only knew what Kefka was like thanks to Dissidia and I got to say that he is exactly how I imagine him in this game, he's pure chaos and I love him for that. But really, each characters so far are so endearing and likeable.

The soundtrack is so good and again, Locke and Celes' themes are by far, my favorites alongside Terra's theme.

Sadly, I've never had the chance to finish the game (not yet at least) but with the pixel remasters, I'm willing to finish this because it's so good.

Re: Final Fantasy 12 Director Quashes That Long-Standing Basch Rumour

Ashina

I love XII and Basch is a badass. That said, I was never under the impression that he was supposed to be the main character. The journey is mostly about Ashe and her quest for power to save Dalmasca. Basch is just there to protect her (much like what Steiner does for Garnet) so him being the supposed main character wouldn't make sense either.

Re: Poll: How Was Final Fantasy 16's State of Play Showcase?

Ashina

It was excellent though I feel like there's so much that they've shown in this presentation, particularly the Eikon battles. I feel that those could have been more epic if we experience them 1st time. I know I should've just avoided this but was tempted to check this presentation and it's still going to be epic once I get there though. My only disappointment is that no demo was announced but that's just a personal gripe.

Re: Resident Evil 4's Ada Wong Responds to Social Media Abuse

Ashina

I played the remake without noticing any difference in Ada's voice. I guess the VA just fits naturally for me. RE games aren't really known for having over the top voice acting in the 1st place anyway and harassing the VA is so stupid and unnecessary. Capcom hired them and they did their job. That's all there is to it. No reason to take this personally.

Re: Persona 3 Remake Is Reportedly Real and In Development

Ashina

Persona 3 still to this day is my all time favorite game in the SMT franchise. For how good it is, the gameplay does feel outdated compared to P5 and was hoping one day, the game will get that P5 treatment. I guess now's that time. C'mon Atlus, announce the remake already.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Care About a PS5 Remote Play Handheld?

Ashina

Assuming that this is true, I understand if PS5 and maybe some PS4 will require remote play but give us the option to play older titles natively. No excuse to not allow us to play older games, especially PS1 titles without having to stay online/stream via remote play only. Give us the option to play games offline

Re: Capcom Fans Split Over What Classic Game Should Be Remade Next

Ashina

Capcom should take a break from remaking RE games. As great as the previous entries were, having to release RE games every year will just feel like milking the franchise too much (like Assassin's Creed). Dino Crisis would be the better option to remake at this time since there's been a big demand for it from fans recently, especially after the Exoprimal reveal that led people to believe it's a Dino Crisis game

Re: Surprise! Forspoken and Other Square Enix Games Didn't Meet Sales Expectations

Ashina

As a fan of JRPGs that were mostly made by SE (no matter how niche they are), it's sad to see them in an all time low. I'm really hoping that once the current CEO steps down and gets replaced, things will get a little better.

They should drop any ideas of entering the NFT market, stop with live-services game and focus on single-player narratives and stop making any tie-in mobile games that are mostly focused on Gacha

Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Witcher 3's PS5 Upgrade?

Ashina

Played it on PS4, got burnt by the amount of side-quests, framerate was a bit janky, I don't know why but the controls and combat feels weird, decided to stop playing for a while until it became part of the backlog of games that I may or may not finish. Downloaded the free upgrade and will give it a shot. So far, the 60fps makes the game a whole lot better

Re: Preview: Forspoken PS5 Feels Like a More Magical inFAMOUS

Ashina

Using magics in this game feels nice but needs time to get used to. One thing I'm not a fan of is the lead character talking a lot and even cussing, like I get that she's your typical new yorker but is it really necessary for her to cuss very often? They really need to lessen the in-game dialogues because the game gets rather annoying the more you hear her talk and it's cringe

Re: Armored Core 6 Won't Adopt Elden Ring, Bloodborne Style Gameplay

Ashina

They don't need to add the Souls formula with AC but I do wonder how they will approach the world and how open will it feel. AC games tends to be mission based and players are often limited to building mechs on the garage, selecting missions, going to arenas, etc. but there's really no open world or open areas to explore.

Regardless of what they do, as a fan of the series for years now, I'm still hyped and will look forward to this new AC game
