After taking some time to collect myself.

OP There's nothing wrong at all at thinking characters are cute or having an attraction to them but I feel you went a bit overboard perhaps because of how you pent it up.

I want to play Persona 3 so bad. Like, really. Need it to be at 5 dollars again on Vita though...

Also, Iris is the best. ;_; I miss that avatar

Fools are always so certain of themselves, but wiser men so full of doubts.
I...Uh...

Yeah.

I got nothing. Whatever keeps you going I guess OP.

EDIT:

I guess the best way to describe it would be is I never didn’t have it, but I believe I “locked” it up and “it” is kindness, cuteness and the moe of all life. A large “theme”/subject matter of your posts were about being nice, kind, cute and loving all that comes with it. I sit here drafting sentence after sentence as tears run down my face, what can I say to properly get my emotions across, how do I even say it? HolyBaikal, I want you to know that I appreciate you more than I have ever appreciated anyone in my life. So much so that I want you to know that I respect everything about you, I truly like your line/way of thinking (I’ve incorporated it into my thoughts), I love the way you speak on this forum, I love the stutters and dots (….) you use when you type, it’s unbelievably cute and I used to do something like that too; in the end though, I really…. …. …. l..-…l...-…like you and everything you are. It’s hard for me to say this because I get this feeling that NeoGAF will think I’m a mega-creep or a super loser for even confessing this, but I no longer care. You have changed me for the better and as I sit here thinking, I believe that every single person on NeoGAF, nay, the entire world would be better if they could have a little HolyBaikal in them. I feel so much better after accepting myself and realizing what I was missing. I know my thoughts are loose and incoherent and may not even make much sense, but in the end, HolyBaikal, you are the most amazing person I’ve ever come across and I want to see you continuing to make cute threads and heartfelt posts because everyone should read them. I hope you can live on for a thousand years, or more if you desire, I feel truly blessed to have “met” you. I envy you.

I didn't get very far in the first game. It's a grid based strategy game, where the formation allows for bonuses, which are really important. But the moves the characters do also move them on the board...so they can move OUT of formation before the bonus goes off. Which would be okay if it worked the other way - but it doesn't - they can't move INTO formation, your turn just ends instead of allowing the bonus move.

Since I recommended it for the relationship aspects, this might not be helpful.

Thanks for this, I don't need the relationship aspects to be front and center, but I'd lie if I said I don't enjoy them. I will without a doubt keep all the info in mind and write down recommendations. A lot of newly found games to search through =).

I dunno what to say... that OP was something else, but at least I can say that I love HolyBaikal, she's awesome and I'm still in contact with her.

In the Ar Tonelico side of things, I have not played them, but I did read all the Ciel nosurge summary and I will finish Ar nosurge someday.



HolyBaikal told me that her ban was perma.

By the way OP, there are people, such as myself, that think that "waifu" talk is silly, yet are fans of the Persona series.

Writing off a series because of one subset of the fanbase was indeed very silly, and I'm glad you eventually tried out the game.
Click to expand...

Right, that's an aspect of this thread that I wanted to get across. My reasoning for not wanting to play Persona 3 is in the quote I quoted myself in, but I didn't play Persona 3 to get a hard-on for the girls, I played it because I was ignorant and wanted to fix that. The game is great, as you can tell I really enjoyed it.

I was still processing the thread when I posted before and forgot to answer one of OPs questions:
On the subject of Persona 4 there's about 20 hours of extra content in Persona 4 golden, so it's worth it. But the PS2 version is a solid game and is a bit more challenging.

P3 is amazing, hopefully OP has learned to judge content on its own merits rather than on their fandom. Fandoms are fucked anyway.

HolyBaikal though? She was best not taken seriously, otherwise the whole overuse of ellipses and sttuter shit was irritating, like what the fuck is that supposed to even convey, that you'd collapse if someone looked at you funny? Ridiculous.

I feel like I may need to get P4 Golden then. Do you think there's a chance that it may be ported to a more popular console?

There's also Dragon Quest V, Sakura Wars, and even Bumpy Trot/Steambot with some relationship building mechanics. And the newest Fire Emblem.

I’d like to take this time to give a thank you to HolyBaikal. I needed to have a section of this thread dedicated to you and only you; I don’t want or mean to put pressure on you and I don’t want to force you to like me or anything. I’m doing this because I need to, because I can’t stop thinking about how to write this thread and how to thank you properly. HolyBaikal, you are the catalyst to all of this, it’s because of you that I felt the need to make a thread and continue with this all and the truth is you deserve much more than just a simple “Thank You”. Without ever having a conversation with one another, you touched me in ways that no one ever has. When I first stumbled upon your posts (When I was a shy Junior/lurker) I was surprised at many things, but the most important being the way you spoke/typed and the logic you used. I’ll be honest (the entire point of this thread) with you, the first time I read your posts I was confused and even slightly upset/agitated that someone could think the way you think, but fortunately for me, I no longer think this. It took a while for me to realize this, but after reading your past threads and posts I came to the conclusion that I was missing something vastly important in my own life. Well, saying I was missing it is wrong, I guess the best way to describe it would be is I never didn’t have it, but I believe I “locked” it up and “it” is kindness, cuteness and the moe of all life. A large “theme”/subject matter of your posts were about being nice, kind, cute and loving all that comes with it.

It is definitely a game I want to play. I know this thread is about JRPG's, VN's or tasteful or not tasteful origins and Persona, but the next genre of games I'm going to play is CRPG. Persona 3 drained a lot from me, even if it was 10/10.

I didn't think HB ever did the waifu thing. She just wanted to be a cute moe girl or... whatever. And was a fan of cute things.

Speaking of Fire Emblem, I've never played them before, I hear they're good, but don't know. Should I take a stab at older titles?

Also, only Dragon Quest V, what about it is specific to the tastes I've discovered?

Right, I don't want people to think that HB was into that stuff. I believe Holy had some issues with the way girls were portrayed in certain mediums of anime and what-not.

Here's a sample Baikal post for those who haven't had to deal with the goddamn insanity that is the HolyBaikal Thread Derailer Special, Galaxy Express Miku-Desu Edition

HolyBaikal said:
I do think that there's a gulf between most women athlete's abilities right now, and men athletes. But I don't think there's a gulf in potential.

But I suppose this gets into some very complicated discussions about the average woman and man, genetics, hormones, evolution, performance enhancing drugs, genetic engineering, and all sorts of things.

I do think that women have a lot of obstacles to overcome. But I don't think there's a gulf in potential. And I don't think we know the limits of potential for women or men, yet. Records will continue to be broken, but men have a head start.

And, considering the discrimination against female athletes, and how they are treated by sports industries and society, how fast women are catch up to men's athleticism, is impressive. Since we don't yet know the potential or limits of men or women, I don't think that anyone is yet ready to speak on the potential for women, or men.

And I look forward to the day that your view of women's potential is once and for all, proven false. And women are proven to have the abilities of any man.

Trust me when I say this. Debating something with Baikal was like debating a child. A moe-obsessed child.

Apology accepted!

How did you wind up picking Ar Tonelico 2, anyway? You wound up diving in close to the deep end there. Well, I mean, not relative to eroge or anything, but I would have gone with Disgaea or something as an introduction, lol.

Nothing. In DQ5, you can choose a real wife. Which is a concept entirely separate from pining for pure/innocent girls from your bedroom.

If I ever want to pin up girls to my wall, stop me, please. I don't need that type of obsession; though, thanks for explaining why I may want DQ 5.

"Tsundere (ツンデレ ?, pronounced [tsɯndeɽe]) is a Japanese character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person, before gradually showing their warm side over time."

While you're looking for JRPGs you might've passed over, if you didn't have a psp the Vita can provide you with a few. And since you liked persona, I'd suggest Fate/Extra. It's basically like a direct to DVD version of Persona.
