The UI is informative without being cluttered at all. That's really hard to do!
That's something I noticed (from watching a stream of the demo) as well. A good, clean UI is something I give a lot of credit to.
With only a few exceptions off the top of my head, that's something Square-Enix has been pretty consistently good with. I really appreciate being able to actually see what I'm doing and watch my character doing cool things.
The section where you play as Joshua, absolutely NAILED a very specific vibe: this kid is very frail, but also INCREDIBLY powerful. They did a lot of telling you how frail he was, but that short stint where you play as him did more to convey it than all the words or coughing fits.
I just don't get why they didn't copy and paste that combat system instead. Who complained about FF7R combat? It was the best of both worlds.
Me. FF7R fights were literal dog ***. Half the important ***has super armor so you can't swing at it or combo or anything. It's the reason I refuse to buy any more ff7R games due to the combat system itself
The West Coast sucks, any of you who live here: I am so, so sorry that you have to live like this.
I always get so amused that the entire Western Coastline of North America gets compressed into about a 70 mile stretch being representative of the entire stretch....because we all know how similar the people living on Boston Harbor are to the residents of Wilmington, NC.
Quit with the easy route when in reality the reference of "West Coast Sucks" boils down to some people's opinions of about 1/10th of one city and at best 1/3rd of another. Visit Cannon Beach sometime and say with a straight face "West Coast Sucks".
Armored Core fans seem a little split on this one. I've been open to the possibility of the game not being specifically for me right from the get-go, and there are some things revealed that I'm not super-duper keen on. For example, it sounds like there are check-points and means to repair in the middle of missions, which implies each mission is going to be longer. It also implies that there are no ways to really accept failure and move onto an easier mission, as other Armored Cores had. There's also a hard lock-on feature as per FromSoftware's more modern games, and even a stagger mechanic per Sekiro.
That said, it still looks like an Armored Core game. It's a little bit faster than Armored Cores 1 thru 3, but at least it's slower than 4. Visually, the animations are really nice and I appreciate the lighting, yet they've still captured the gritty dystopian future that should be present. The combat doesn't look overwhelming, and it looks like there's a lot of ways to approach every encounter.
I went into the video with forced low expectations and came out of it pleasantly surprised. They've gone in the direction that I was expecting them to, and I've seen nothing so far that's made me not want the game.
New figures, I don't know why the concept arts for the breath of fire characters are different color in game compared to their concept/promotional art... I wonder if thats intentional when they had a more muted color scheme.
I have a multi-box question. I currently have access to 3 different accounts that have 3 different SE account logins and Play Online IDs because they are 3 different people's actual accounts. This is what I'm familiar with as far as login and billing.
When you're in the SE account management system they can let you register another Play Online ID to the same SE account? The reason for this is so you can consolidate billing for 2 different PO IDs and be able to play characters from both PO accounts with each other simultaneously. This is different from just adding an additional mule character to your first PO ID since they can't be played at the same time. Please correct me if I'm reading this incorrectly.
As far as billing goes, the difference between those two scenarios is that on the 2nd PO account, you pay for another basic service charge for the 2nd PO account and a character fee for $12.95. There is no bundling or anything for having the same SE account for both PO IDs, correct? So basically it's much more expensive (relatively) than adding another mule character to your main PO account for storage purposes that only costs $1.
I went for the first time this year.
At least they did Ragnarok, Alexander.
Did they have the chick that does 11 and 14's "answers?" I was hoping for the 11 version memora de la stona
They did Ragnarok in Nashville but this show was different. Difference, I think, is that the other one was for the 35th anniversary (Coral) and this one was a standard Distant Worlds show. Susan wasn't there no, but they had a chorus so they did lots of songs that utilize one such as Liberi Fatali/OWA.

A friend of mine saw Distant Worlds Live (not sure if it was that exact show) and reported that to me. They said that even though they were unfamiliar with XI and never heard that song before, they really liked it.
I'm a little disappointed that they wouldn't play even one song from XI :(

Correct, there is no difference in price or functionality between having two(or more) SE accounts with a single POL ID each vs. 1 SE account with multiple POL ID's.
Charges for basic service, character slots, and wardrobes are all per POL ID, no discounts.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
