Re: Some UK Schools are Cracking Down on Children Playing More Mature Games

NicolaHayden

This is a tough topic seems as I have a little one myself, but I don't have a problem with the school stepping in, in extreme cases. My seven year old has only just been allowed to see Dynasty Warriors level of violence yet I've seen eight year olds playing GTA Vice City in public, with their parents consent. You could argue about what is alright for children to play or not till the cows come home, but some stuff is clearly not ok yet the parents let them.

Re: An All-Male Party Makes Final Fantasy XV 'More Approachable', Says Director

NicolaHayden

Final Fantasy X-2 had a completely different feel because it was just girls together. There is things you can only achieve narratively with one gender. All you have to do is look at your own daily lives and think about how you act differently around different people.

The fanservice is a bonus. As was said, there are plenty of JRPGs running around with full female casts so having a full male cast is a breath of fresh air.

Re: Review: Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea (PlayStation 3)

NicolaHayden

@belmont xD Well I obviously cannot reveal any spoilers, but the world starting to dry up is pretty grim. Things like water are near impossible to find, monsters barely drop anything because they are skin and bones and fresh resources -normally your bread and butter- are rare as hell. So yeah, if they don't address it, the world is pretty much screwed. You are correct that Shallie is the final release is the Dusk trilogy so this is the end for our beloved characters. ;_;
As for grand returns, many of the characters make a return, if not brought up in person, are mentioned a lot. Such characters returning/being mentioned include Wilbell, Linca, Reyfer, Escha, Solle, Harry, Katla, Heathcliff, Ordelia, Logy and Ayesha.

Re: What Do You Mean You've Never Played... Breath of Fire IV?

NicolaHayden

I've played Breath of Fire IV once but have never dared too again. I loved it so much I would get up at 5am before school to play it just to squeeze those extra few hours in. Sadly during the two weeks it took to complete it, both my cat and grandfather passed away. I'm not one to be superstitious, but I'm sure the game is cursed to me. But Robert is alive and well so hopefully everyone else will play safe playing too.
