I can't imagine that belt barrage would be very comfortable but comfort isn't king here.

QQ drunk on the haterade.
And Nomura's Kingdom Hearts designs are far worse.

Don't know... it's reasonable to hate a company for making those walruses

Man, only like 12 days until the SonicGAF |OT| anniversary. And we've almost gone 300 pages!
wait, what?? It's been that long already?!

You can still hate on them for making cruddy stuff every now and then.
Like Tales of the Tempest.
They would've still had to do it anyway because I assume that he would've been irritated to the max.

Tales of the Tempest?

Yup. It was formed shortly after my Junior account was approved (January 6th for that; January 29th, according to the first post, for this thread), so I remember it pretty clearly.
Yep! And all that with nothing more than Sonic 4 and leftover Generations discussion in terms of new material.
With all the Rift talk in Gaming lately, I've been wondering what VR would do for the sense of speed in a 3D Sonic game.

One of the worst Tales games next to Tales of VS.
Dimps pretty much did much of it.
No, he's been a director, a creative producer, he's come up with various concepts for the games, monster designer (before becoming the character designer), etc. He's been doing a ton of stuff there.
A lot of it was tangental, but it's cuz we all get along.
I'm still a little surprised this was one of the three Community Threads that didn't hit rock bottom, though.
That explains the Versus fiasco then.

What're the other two? I mean, HaloGAF is on, like, |OT10393989483947947| now... MinecraftGAF is slow but steady... TF2/JankGAF did pretty well in a Highlander tournament... UMvC3GAF is still talking about things...

Never even knew about this Tales game...but again, I've never tried one out so it's appropriate I don't know jack about it.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about those.
I mean the community threads that came up as part of the experiment that the mods put in place in late 2011. So PokeGAF, FF community thread (though sometimes it gets dropped), and this one.
The SMT one died, Zelda one got a small resurgence but for the most part it's kinda dead, the SRW thread died, the Lunar thread died. The Suikoden one looks like it's going to get dropped if no one really supports it, etc.
WoWGAF chugs along, even if half of it is people griping about how terrible all the design decisions are.

Those aren't Community threads, technically.
I never really minded Lulu's belt skirt mostly because she's a magey character, so it's not like she'd be zooming or flipping around in the air. She's mostly static and the most complicated action she does is walk, as she's mostly standing in place.
Now when you have a character with a Gundam-sized shield or very constrictive-looking armor that's still supposed to be super agile and can pretty much fly around, that's when I shake my head.
Edit: This thread being so active is part of why I decided to peek my head in. I'd posted in the FF one before, but that one dies all the time and has some... "characters" that I'd rather not partake with if possible. FFGAF can get really creepy.

Yeah, I suppose.
I know MegaManGAF has been pretty much dead in the water for a while... Beyond that, I'm mostly familiar with Off-Topic communities, of which I can confirm PonyGAF (despite me paying almost no attention to it since April 2012) and PoliGAF are still going strong. Plus all the various SportsGAFs, WrestleGAF, AnimeGAF...

Lulu's belts are stupid, but everything else is pretty great, so I can't complain.
Really? I know FF threads (particularly XIII related ones) on Gaming side can get a little weird, but I've never actually stuck my head in the Community topic much.
No kidding.

The creepy stuff is more on Gaming than the Community thread yeah, but it's technically still the same group. And even then you still have stuff like that little... back and forth between Negius and that other guy in the Community thread.

Gosh, I wonder what you're referring to.
That design is fucking stupid. I dislike everything about it, and don't get me started on the gothic-loli character.
what are they thinking?
I'm a little happy that people who blame the fans themselves don't post in the community thread that much.
But FF threads have gotten really creepy lately, and it's getting to be a turnoff to post in the threads sometimes. And they say that Sonic fans are bad.
I think the only OT community threads I'm aware of are the FootballGAF, AnimeGAF, and WrassleGAF threads. I just read them rather than post in them.
A lot the reason why these threads tend to die so fast is because they're community threads intended for discussion... in the community tab! You'll never get people to start posting in them if they aren't aware of them. You know, "out of sight, out of mind". That's why no one ever posts in the Zelda or FF threads even though they were intended to get tangental discussions out of main gaming threads.

Sonic 4 episode 2 is about as mainline as it gets, well in name at least.

Eloquent Princess
Just because it has some sort of narrative significance doesn't mean that everyone cares a lot about it!
My goty list doesn't include Sonic 4: Ep 2. >.>

Yes, a lot of the FF threads in Gaming get creepy in a hurry. Sad cycle it is.

Now they have some sense of how to give people what they want.
SE's kind of at the Heroes/Shadow point where you're wondering why they're doing what they're doing and then you realize that they're trying to clean up a huge mess that they've made themselves (FF14/or Sega getting out of making consoles), and are trying to do it while keeping a profit (ie: they made their bed and now they have to lie in it).
Well, at least Sega took one of the Square-Enix composers (Eguchi).
what
but you posted in the OT. Once, mind you, but it totally did come out in 2012.
Not to defend them (creepy is creepy), but Square Enix seems to be courting the creepy crowd rather aggressively lately. Didn't they put out bikini DLC for Serah in FFXIII-2?
Edit: The "Awesome" fan art thread also serves as a useful dumping ground for all of the awful Sonic fan art, helping to keep this thread clean

Yeah.
They are catering to the creepy crowd because the guy who's doing these games IS creepy.

It has the greatest narrative significance, now I know what Eggman was searching for in the ruins and why he built mad gear.
No ones GotY list has Episode 2 I wager and with good cause.

Worse is that Serah is rail thin and looks pretty young. Which makes the relationship between her and the biggest idiot of FF more than creepy.
Considering even the bikini DLC is better than Serah's default costume...
Hell, I bought that DLC but you don't see me non-sarcastically making a support group for an FF character "because there's too much hate being flung her way".

What was also terrible is how huge her tits got in the sequel.
Also someone in the dev team of XIII-2 cared enough to model a droplets of rains sliding down her cleavage when she stands in the rain.
There's a gif of it out there.
I am actually impressed.
tiggerkiddo

How did anyone notice that with the crummy framerate? I swear the place where you fought Titan was a choppy hellion sort of mess.
Meccanical

It's not hard to notice when you spend time trying to get good angles of her cleavage and under her skirt.
Which is probably what they were doing.

Noel is pretty enjoyable.
Which makes me think he was a fluke.
I hope he wins in the end like Caius did, that was the greatest shit ever until they revealed that everyone in fact did NOT die.

A new Brave Fencer game would be great. Too bad the team behind those games have been stuck with KH for the last half decade or so.

And then Sonic Heroes's story happened and as loath as I am to admit it, at least it did something with Metal Sonic. Episode Metal was incredibly boring and unbalanced. It wasn't much of a lock-on game at all as advertised, and I don't know where they were going with that.
The Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Knuckles in Sonic 2 lock-on features just showed more depth with regards to the level designs or different pathways you can take with all three characters. The level design, in the cases of those games, was just demonstrative of how versatile it was.
Episode Metal by contrast is just a retread of levels from Episode 1 in an unbalanced fashion.
And, someone does have Sonic 4: Ep 2 on their GotY list.
Well, even if that thread didn't exist, if someone started going overboard with it in here, I would follow through on putting a stop to it because this isn't the thread for that. Gaming side Sonic threads usually seem to go in that direction for some weird reason and I really wish they wouldn't.Not to defend them (creepy is creepy), but Square Enix seems to be courting the creepy crowd rather aggressively lately.

As for SE, I think they're desperate. That level of pandering isn't needed in the slightest.
This is truly one of my favourite threads on GAF. I do the same thing. Usually after E3, GAF gets a little crazy, so posting in here for a few weeks for the most part isn't too bad.

Hey, did we ever find out what Hunnid-P was talking about when he said he was working on a "new project" with SEGA? A lot of people thought it would be remixes for AllStars Transformed, but I don't remember any SA2 tracks from the game...
