Im in the mood for an old school rpg like secret of mana, breath of fire, final fantasy (before it got the KPop treatment). What are my options?
I'm playing Breath of Fire 3 on Vita now. 3DS is best for new JRPGs, Vita is best for the greatest hits of the PS1 and SNES eras.

I'd recommend Phantasy Star IV. It's on steam for a couple of bucks. I played it the first time this summer and had a blast. Took me about 15-20 hours to beat, so it's not too long either. Just right for me at least. It's very well paced, has great music, nice humour (!) and neat story presentation.
Sixfortyfive made a great thread about it a few years back. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342023
Phantasy Star IV>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Every FF game ever made.
Mm yeah there's always scenarios like that. The risk is always there.
But I don't know if I can afford PrEP. I've heard it's expensive. And I'm worried about UTIs because I've had c diff infection before so I have to be more judicious and conservative about antibiotics use against gut bacteria, so I'm inclined to avoid situations that may give me infection. Maybe it's not worth it. Maybe I'll wait until I'm married or living with this person to reconsider that risk. He is absolutely obsessed with me and can't imagine cheating on me but then again, it's just promises, and people break promises all the time.
Idk.
But anyway, thanks guys for helping me through considering issues like this.
It`s dangerous yes, but at least get it clear that if no matter what end up cheating, at least wear a fucking condom. Other than that, if you are together long enough and are clear about the consequences, I think that there`s no point to in keeping the facade, just do it and live with the risk if you are comfortable enough.
That`s just my opinion though, unfortunatelly having sex is always a risk, specially casual sex...

Get out of my head!!!!
Between this and WC lol. Shame the series went downhill after it though.Well after over a month of binge watching, finally finished marathoning Cheers. Still one of the best sitcoms ever made.
I actually really like Phantasy Star Online. Most of the story has to be pieced together, but it's pretty solid... and honestly pretty fucked up. The game was careful to pay full homage to the original series and even fits into the original timeline (takes place 800 years on the dot after Phantasy Star IV). The initial notes of the opening movie's music is straight up from Phantasy Star 2's title screen music. The artbook even had sketches of Wren whom was originally planned to be in the game, but a bunch of stuff got scrapped in the end. The game seemed like it was being rushed to release due to the Dreamcast being slated to be canned, sadly. I played the Japanese launch version and it was buggy as hell.
After PSO though, the series ends up shitting itself, choosing to ape Monster Hunter and D-tier anime instead of retaining its own sense of identity. There's a reason the series is dead in the US. It was never all that large to begin with, but the loyal fanbase that it once did have is long gone.

I found PSO2 to be ok but lacks the charm the first one had. Also its going harder into the fan service and modernized anime look kinda removes the appealing aesthetic. If it looked more like the concept art of PSO1 it would have been so much better. Also Sega with the localization saying its coming but then go silent just do nothing. Also doesnt help they are mostly focusing on Sonic, Yakuza and Football Manager. I find it funny there is still people hoping for a localization at this point. Its almost as funny as Tales of Vesperia PS3 port hopes still to this day.
Ohhh I forgot Universe, Zero and Portable games. Those were definitely monster hunter clones for most of the part indeed. PSO2 simply does PSO but with modern anime fan service.

One of the first games my bro & I got for the Gen (after Sonic ofc) was PSII and then PSIII. Stopped there at the time because SNES had come out and pretty much stopped playing Gen after that. Didn't play PSIV until about ten-ish years ago.
I wouldn't mind a Tales of Vesperia port to PC/PS4. May as well throw Symphonia on there too, I'll buy 'em both.
As for Phantasy Star III, it was the game in the series that needs a remake more than the rest. The concept was fantastic with the ability to play through three different generations of heroes and your final main characters being one of four possibilities depending on who you chose as your bride for each generation. The dialogue was certainly lacking and the combat system was utter shit, but with a bit of polish and maybe a proper upgrading of the soundtrack (the combat music has to fucking go), it could be a solid RPG.

Well everything related to combat in the game was mishandled.
Just looking at PSO art or listening to PSO music fills me with a warm nostalgia. I adored those games, even episode 3, despite only ever playing them offline. The various versions of PSU didn't do anything for me.
I vaguely remember PS0 being somewhat more similar to PSO, but I didn't like the aesthetic or the tone of the game. Though I barely remember anything about it.

I haven't played enough Fire Emblem but Shining Force is great. Direct movement rather than selecting a square then moving to it is a big deal.
Aarglefact: I was playing Shining Force 2 when I heard my mum (with my permission from earlier in the day) in another room tell my dad that I'm bi.
At first I hated PSO and left it collect dust for some months because the combat required rhythm and I wasnt getting it at first. When I went back into it all just clicked and spent like 700 hours and maybe more fucking around. PSO has a soft spot in my heart.
Goaty you gotta game like nobody's watching! Vita and Wii U are my most played systems this gen lol
Oh are we praising PSO, one of the GOAT RPGs? Shame on sega for not localizing 2 for Vita.

On second thought I see a lot of rpgs in the PS store that Id play.
Shame is unhealthy - you should proudly adopt an anime avatar and embrace the Vita for all its eccentricities if you want to live with a clear conscience. Omega Labyrinth is waiting for you.

I had so much fun with the short time I spent on NeoPSO. All the other MMOs I've tried so far feel so boring by comparison.

When you fall down a rabbit hole and wonderful why Showtime hasn't made a tv series based off https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vita_Sackville-West or most of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomsbury_Group and call it "The B word" or some shit
Where seemly everyone you slept with has a Wikipedia page
Where seemly everyone you slept with has a Wikipedia page
Wrong that game is Freecell
idk why you think Showtime are especially suited to make a series about a group of English artists and intellectuals.
Especially when the BBC already has made a rather good series about them. Trailer.

A Twitch streamer was showing a public domain zombie movie. One of the shittiest movies I've seen. Found out at the end it was Night of the Living Dead by George Romero. Surprised.

Never again Coven, never again.
I was happy a hot Brazilian gymnast won a medal (Arthur Nory), he's half Japanese too so <3 <3
Then Facebook told me he's a racist and that sucks. And he's gay too (not out though, it looks like he's "dating" a female gymnast from America)... depressing to see racist gay people. What a stupid human being.
His rumoured ex-boyfriend is hot too (Federico Devitto).

So I've been actively dating for a while now. One of the strangest parts is the new world of being considered attractive by anybody
Background: Girls never found me attractive growing up, and since society doesn't police the looks of men like they do for women, i had no personal evidence of if I was attractive or not. Of course I know what society values in men, but since society has a wide range of acceptable male bodies, it was hard to use that info to discern my own attractiveness. Because of this, "being unattractive" was a cornerstone of my self-image
Fast forward to now, and it's jarring to actually be seen as attractive it. Part of me wonders if it's just guys being thirsty. Did anyone else experience something like this when you began dating?
