This series bodies has been interesting. But God damn British accents, I have to turn subtitles, what the hell are they saying
saying "British Accent" is like saying "American Accent"- there's literally dozens of regional accents that get lumped into "British" because its a damn island- when in reality Scots can't understand Welsh any better than Americans, and try telling someone from Belfast they sound like someone from Yorkshire!
A Master Level 7 DRK joined me. Name was Jimboslice.
Then a ML BRD who was confused and thought it was ROV, but once he realized his mistake became a ML SCH.
Then a ML35 or so RUN with Epeo joined too.
We really rocked its ***. I was the trust nucleus and repopped Qultada/Joachim several times for Chaos Roll reapplication. Landed the kill hits in both fights too! I was on BLU providing Mighty Guard. A man among giants, I tells ya
It's really kind of all over the place. Sometimes it's very charming and telling me things about characters I didn't know I wanted to know. Other times it's practically slinging irrelevant hash browns at me, like the entire Yagudo Reisenjima arc.
Of course, having been to the final battle, where the souls of the departed are swept into the fight against Chaos, I think all these seemingly non-sequitur storylines got a nice bow tying them in again to keep them relevant to the overarching plot.
I feel TVR's strongest moments were in the mid-late portions of its story where you fight Uran-Mafran, get the whole Shadowlord team reveal, Valaineral called into the story, and move towards the Dvergr who makes your prime weapons.
The beginning of TVR had a lot of comedy, which landed alright. The fashion show was especially funny, but I think I've already forgotten most of the dialogue from all of the first half of TVR.
It's not really a super quotable story. I think the dialogue that blew me away the most was Shantotto in the epilogue. She literally doesn't even try to rhyme while expressing frustration that she's not as powerful a mage as Goreizu Horazu. I was speechless. Couldn't even do my running joke about her sometimes not-rhyming.
In the end, I had a realization that it was actually a really simple RPG story. Make the special sword. Kill the dark sorcerer and his dragon. AKA Shining Force 1.
Storywise, maybe the weakest story of all expansions. It really didnt justify the 3 or 4 years it took to be completed.
Not only weak story, but also i couldnt relate to it because, for the first time in game, they didnt asd a waifu character in story.
Maybe its the signsnof the new time and they wanted to be more democratic, but damn... stories are about people. People can relate to people. If there isnt a person there, obviously the player wont easily connect to the story.
Considering that our char is like the silent hero, the story normally depend more on the story main character than the player to develop.
I doubt many people were holding onto their subs solely to wait for TVR to be finished. I'm glad we got some of the items we did out of it, the neckpieces, rings, and food in particular, but the story content was bleh.
I haven't finished The Voracious Resurgence. Lol my friends have primes and im like. "Yoooo The man who erased his name is so *** good."
Honestly. I don't like it. I tend to do a mission or two a night but I walk away from the game while the cutscene goes because it's mega *** boring. I just want the ring. Primes don't excite me. I would make them all if they were 2 months to make 1. 6 months too long. would fire the *** who thought that was a good idea.

You asked why it took so long to release, I answered.
Do you have any other reason why it would take nearly four years?

I greatly dislike TVR and think it was a waste of resources, but there is a lot of development effort required to do that sort of thing. It's really not that trivial. Judging by how multiple times they came down to the wire and had to delay things because they were broken, even simple quests, it was probably a matter of resources.
No doubt they tapered it out like they always do content like that, but it's not really a surprise it took years given what was required for the content (writing, animations, quests, BCNMs, adding items, testing, etc).
What is remarkable to me is that they had those resources and that's the direction they went with it.
Kinda common ocurrence with one of the few persons willing to solve problems with innovative solutions.
Our infrastructure is basically wrong. Created over a wrong premise. Sustained only through managers agreements, not technical one. Weak infrastructure that never failed to give us more work than 99.9% of other companies.
I propose a solution to change those premises and start anew. Then my idea is shoot down because I should invest in another failed manager agreement, so we can perpetuate our suffering.
Im ok. I always says to my colleagues we are constantly fighting against other. We gonna be critized if we comply with status quo, if we try to change the status quo, if we dont do nothing, if we do everything we can.
Im fine, I stopped caring with being on the "wrong" side of the discussion.
One more year and Im out. If the problem was me, I bet everyone will be glad that Im leaving, and possibly the many years problem will be solved by itself.
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.
