So is anyone else suspicious of how Nadia said she didn't HAVE to eat anyone? Nadia, are you just a casual cannibal for pleasure?

I could stand to hear a little more baseball talk :D

Final fantasy 9 or perhaps Majora's Mask. Or Code Veronica

@ReptilianSamurai I'm sure it'll happen

Time to put on our tin foil hats! Is the Switch version not announced announced to give it a chance to sell on other platforms? Are switch owners expected to wait so we don't absolutely steamroll the other versions?!? Conspiracy! Conspiracy I say!

@Gamer-Law I'm pleased you're digging it! I'm gonna jump back into this weekend. The battles really are fun.

@slimehunter84 yeah, I think all your contingencies are plausable.

Nintendo shouldn't have to do the legwork for SE every time they bring a DQ to 3DS though, right? It's SE. They're not a tiny indie studio or mid-tier developer. Geez, throw your fans who have 3DS's a friggin bone. Atlus can handle it but a Juggernaut like SE can't?

Anyway, that's my Hawt Take. DQ has never been my jam (unless we're talking Dairy Queen) so I don't have a horse in this race. But I feel for people who wanted to play the 3DS version.

Ok, The Alliance Alive. I'm striving for succinctness but bear with me.

I'll start by saying I really liked Legend of Legacy. I'm surprised to hear they were trying to recapture the nostalgia of 90s RPGs because what they ended up with was an intriguing game that was in many ways antithetical to the pillars of RPGs - being completely bereft of narrative, an unpredictable character progression system reminiscent of SaGa games or FF2, and an exploration system that confined you to certain locations until you've searched all the books until you've discovered the one secret you need to move on. All these elements wove together a game unlike any other on 3DS: a game that knew what it wanted to be and did not give a fuck if you liked it or not.

In the Alliance Alive, FuRyu lost their nerve. They've readopted the familiar RPG tropes and piled more systems on. They're trying to be more crowd pleasing. This game has so little resistance or ideas or vision that there won't be anything to remember it by. I'll always remember Legend of Legacy because that game had vision. I'll remember Alliance Alive as Legend of Legacy's toothless follow up.

That said, I enjoy the battles and the little dungeons I've encountered so far. And one quick correction - battles are not random. Perhaps they will be once I get further into it. But that would be weird.

Quick correction: Ted Williams is the best baseball player of all time. Easy mistake to make. Carry on. ;D

@Nuclear-Vomit I don't miss it. Frankly I'm glad it's over. I also graduated quite some time ago. 2008 or 2009
