There's so much i want to fix on the OT.. like the banners.. and maybe get christmas sbf pictures.. i probably won't do it soon, but oh well.

I'd be happy to help with whatever.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I wonder if they know THQ is dead. Feels weird to see their logo in something that aired just a couple weeks ago.

 

[Xiraiya]

That's what i'm thinking too. You could get super in depth and change who you can recruit if you're being a bad person, such as delinquents etc.

Sounds about right, but would it be limated to special days, which you have a certain time to recruit people or just they're always going to be there and you just need to go and get him or her? Would it be possible to recruit everyone that is possibly recruitable? Yeah.. i have tons of questions...

The special days/limited time things sounds interesting but I think mainly I'd want to keep it a bit more of an old RPG vibe in the sense that you would come across people that are recruitable.

In Arcanum for example, the amount of people you could have in your party was dependent on your charisma, I think it started at 2 and with Maximum Charisma you could have 8 people, my idea in the JRP sense though was just a part of like 4, 3 followers + You, but that was just an initial thought.

But in Arcanum you would come across people in different towns, like you could recruit this drunk in a tavern in the first town, he didn't look particularly special, but he would join you, then there were things like a goddamn Skeleton at the bottom of a crumbling temple who looked exactly like every enemy skeleton in that area, yet if you spoke to him, he'd tell you his story and you'd get a quest to restore his flesh where he ends up being this thousand year old badass warrior who wants to see how the world changed.

So they were all over the place, some of them having quests, others just kind of living their life, which is what I really liked as a concept for finding followers.

I wonder if they even know what THQ is

 

[Archgan]

For which? Link for the sbf facebook page?

Yeah, it is referenced in the Twitter description, but doesn't have a link to it.

Guys..my waifu tastes are changing..hair is growing in places it never grew before..my voice is growing more moe...I..I'm so scared I don't know what's happening..maybe I need a cheezy 1980's film to explain it to me.

New Avatar..cautiously lewd edition.

She'd violently rip you in two if she ever saw that.

By "they" I'm not talking about Pat & Vanna, of course. :lol I meant Sony Pictures, who produces the show.

Sony pictures has a ton of problems right now.

An AP fixing the teletype is the least Of Their worries.

THQ studio is gone, but their assets are still alive, aren't they?

Haha, of course. Still, it's weird to see.

Thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in mind if i make another OT.

So they were all over the place, some of them having quests, others just kind of living their life, which is what I really liked as a concept for finding followers.

you could have mix of both, like special events of saving someone from drowning which only happens on a specifc day or else they'd be dead forever.

That sounds cool, just recruitable people all over. You'd also have to think of story reasons why everything works the way it does, the game can't just run on an interesting game mechanic.

 

[JooseBawcks]

Oh seriously? For some reason I just think of the wheel of fortune as being run by a bunch of old people

THQ studio is gone, but their assets are still alive, aren't they?

I have no clue. Seeing as how some games got a reprint taking the logo out I'm not sure how is being handled

Nah, just be a bunch of cool people fighting all over the land and doing dumb shit

I'm kidding, of course there would be a story.

Speaking of that, I wonder who's going to replace Sajak/Vanna/Trebek when they retire. Sajak's nearly 70, so he doesn't have too many years on the show left unless he goes all Bob Barker and stays on until he's basically a walking skeleton (with all due respect to Barker, who is the greatest). Trebek's 74, so he's even closer to retirement, and Vanna's nearly 60, so I guess she can still go for a while longer (especially considering how damn good she looks for her age).

So many of the late night/game show hosts I grew up watching are either gone or going to be gone within a few years. Carson, Leno, Letterman (in May), Barker, and soon most likely Sajak and Trebek.

 

[Zenfalcia]

Actually it'd be hilarious if you were just doing all the fighting just because, with no deep story reasons. Or the story would depend on the quests the player chooses. Have multiple endings including no ending.

Vanna is 60?!

She looks incredible for her age.

I keep fighting to find that answer.

Yeah I had actually contemplated the possibility of your actions maybe triggering how involved you are with the story, like maybe you'll become the focus point of the story with a direct antagonist, or the world at large would have to find other means and you can be more of an outside 3rd party aid or something, there's a lot of really interesting ways it could be done.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Vanna is 60?!

I know. She looks damn amazing for 57.

She's clearly had work done, but not the kind of work that makes you look like some kind of horrible Frankenstein's Monster. She knew when to stop and came out looking all the better for it.

 

[CthulhuSushi]

She'd violently rip you in two if she ever saw that.

I suppose I would die a happy man then..

 

[Banana Aeon]

I keep fighting to find that answer.

And at the end of your journey, someone will ask you why you were fighting.

And you'll be all like, "Ayy lmao."

 

[Zenfalcia]

I keep fighting to find that answer.

Part 2 of game is called the answer and it'll be all dungeoning.

It sounds like a good idea, but i wonder how it effort it would take to actually impliment them. Multiple "main" quests and side quests specific to each "main" quest.. too many possilities of what you can do.

 

[demidar]

I much prefer "I fight for my friends."

I think that's the only time where I didn't like the combat in P3:FES

Apparently the Answer makes the direct connection from P2:Eternal Punishment to P3, but I haven't played either yet.

 

[Alfebit]

What is the connection between that and aliens? It's one of the most bizarre memes I've ever seen.

The answer lies... In the heart of battle.

Sora, is that you?!

someday you will. Maybe years from now.

A vague Idea I had was that since the ideal good ending would be that you're the hero guy with all his friends being this amazing team saving the world with their skills and everything they accumulated throughout the game and rad stuff like that.

That the real "bad" (Depending on your perspective) ending would be that you would eventually realize that you are the antagonist facing off against the world and also the people who would have been by your side in another life if you had been different.
As kind of a point where in the end, you're fighting a difference in ideals more so than a pure evil or some such thing.

 

[demidar]

Sora, is that you?!

Eww Sora. Riku is the superior Keyblade wielder.

 

[Ultimate_Trainer]

Can't you just like a dumb thing for being a dumb thing? I think its just a dumb thing. Maybe its contrasting how serious the pic is from what's actually said such as "Ayyy Lmao"

I haven't played it yet.. i want to but don't want to at the same time.

I got through 3/4 of the cutscenes online and just stopped for some reason. The dungeons and the story aren't fun or interesting at all. I'll still play it to continue the old Persona story.

 

[Mathaou]

I never finished P3 for 2 reasons.

1. I played it after P4, and you can't go from controlling all your party members to controlling only one. It infuriated me.
2. I started playing it on PSP first, and then I broke it, loosing all my saves. I am not replaying 40+ hours of that. Maybe in like 10 years.

A little vague but seems like a good idea if you flesh it out more.

That's a shame. What does it even answer besides the first cutscene answering one big question.

It might be in the rules/Terms page/post? It's not like they send you any emails.. i don't think.

Edit: nothing in the terms of service about it.
