    OBD Convo #11: Assemble, You Brave Achaeans!

    So there was me yesterday spending the whole day waiting on a Ghost Reaper Girl chapter, only to find there was never a chapter due to come out yesterday. If I had checked Viz after reading the previous chapter I'd have seen that it was due to come out May 2nd. 🤦‍♂️ Well that one's on me, I don't read the chapters on Viz so I never saw that. Though it suggests to me that Ikeda might be changing this to a monthly release. Given that he has obviously struggled to maintain the bi-weekly release (with the .1 bonus chapters generally being his apology for that) I'd say it's more a positive than a negative. Bi-Weekly or Monthly doesn't matter to me as long as I get the chapters consistently.

    You'd think if they were going to have a woman get Thor's powers, they'd just give it to Valkyrie since she's more popular and they already gave her the throne because "fuck every single core element of Thor's character we need someone with breasts in charge." :kobeha

    Kinda cool how while ton of people are digging through Elden Ring, we still got people going through Final Fantasy X 21 years after it's release. :maybe It's also just interesting to see the differences between the English and Japanese scripts for the game. Hopefully he continues it and hopefully he eventually gives the XIII trilogy the same treatment as I'm given to understand it's translation was particularly bad. He also has a few parts of a Final Fantasy VIII series done if anyone's interested in that.

    Max giving any credit to a watchmojo video because it shows the "casual take" on it. 🤣 When said casual take and developers trying to appeal to them is largely the reason a lot of people say fighting games are getting worse and worse, at least from what I've seen. :maybe

    Damn this shit gives me chills! I can only imagine what his army would have felt if this is remotely close to what he actually said. I mean other than the fact Alexander made them look bitch-made as fuck. :maybe

    Pretty much all of those classic Disney and Dreamwork's movies are still great movies but yeah, Shrek 2's up there even among those.

    Fair enough, I actually forgot about that Kyrie scene, she also was able to reassure Nero in DMC5 without pressuring him either way into a specific decision. when he was conflicted about his family revelation. Yeah I take it back, Kat isn't even better than Kyrie. 🤣

    I mean yeah she's pretty generic but at least she actually does something to help in the game besides just be a damsel. Nah she just sat meekly while they fought and then she begged Donte not to kill Vorgil.

    Yes shooting pregnant women in the back (at her unborn baby) letting her realize this and THEN killing her is VERY complex. 🙄 Even Nelo Angelo in the first game had more depth of character than Vorgil, never mind comparing him to DMC 3 Vergil (even ignoring further development in DMC 5). And Kat is literal shit compared to any DMC female except Kyrie.

    That makes his criticism of Lord of the Rings even dumber. Given Tolkien was english and Jackson was from New Zealand, hell even a good chunk of the cast isn't American. 🤣

    The fuck does killing man-eating orcs (in an adaptation of a series written way before the war he's complaining about, and which also has heavy anti-war themes) have to do with killing Africans and Asians? And apparently Japanese people are not allowed to like it or Indiana Jones because "in reality you're the ones being shot, idiots." :hestonpls

    I still remember how the Director said he re-designed Dante because "the original would get laughed out of a bar". :maybe Yes because a 6 foot+ man built like a tank is going to get laughed out of a bar...because he has white hair I suppose. As opposed to your childish little shit whose best comeback is "Fuck You" and to give a middle finger. :mjpls Not to mention all that hype about the story and it ended up being complete shit compared to even the first game's story in all honesty. 🤣

    Yeah I can believe that. Probably thought "it's just a dumb shooter, people wont care if we change the story" without realising this particular franchise has a lot of expanded lore and people who are heavily invested in the story.

    Don't the Covenant view the humans as an inferior race and they're complete supremacists, why the fuck would this EVER be a thing?

    WHAT THE FUCK? :tiredpepe Can I just remind everyone that the Covenant were the instigators of the war? THEY ATTACKED EARTH, not the other way around. The humans were just desperately fighting for their lives. But nah the Covenant are totally the good guys here. 🤦‍♂️

    Wait THEY were trying to make me feel bad for the Covenant? I thought it was just a bad attempt at comedy. :breh And yeah that's fucking dumb, the Covenant are literally one of the most indisputable "THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS" enemies in a shooter franchise. They should not be trying to make us feel sorry for them. I mean what's next "Oooh look at those EVIL humans slaughtering all those poor Locusts, they obviously deserve to have their cities destroyed by a giant worm". 🤦‍♂️

    Pretty good list, I see only one significant problem with it. WHERE THE FUCK IS SHUYIN? 😠 It's a list of sympathetic villains and Shuyin is by far one of the more sympathetic villains in Final Fantasy. Especially given that UNLIKE several people on this list, even at his worst we still saw traces of the good man he'd once been. Such as when he hugs Yuna (thinking she's Lenne) showing his love for her had not diminished at all. It may even be why he couldn't bring himself to possess her the way he did everyone else in the Den of Woe. Now looking at the comments it does seem like Shuyin's exclusion was a legitimate oversight/mistake on the guy's part so I can't hold it against him too much. At the very least (purely in terms of being sympathetic but still inferior as a villain overall) he should beat out Kuja and Seymour IMO anyway.

    That's why I specifically look up GLITCHLESS speedruns when I'm in the mood, even though the out of bounds skips are interesting to know that they're there, I'd rather see them actually have to play the game as it was intended for the most part.
