Don’t you even sit here and try to say Velvet’s not hot, Rich, you know it be true

Are you going to buy it?
Nah...or at least not yet.
The thing with Surugaya is that if you spend over ¥1,500 on a single order you get free (domestic) shipping, so I’ve kinda reached the conclusion that it’s better for me to buy in bulk. I did a bulk buy just last week, so my ‘I want this enough to spend money on it and it’s also available on Surugaya’ list is kinda lean right now.
But if it’s still there on my next go-round (whenever that happens), I might pick it up!
panbanrich replied to your post: There’s a Narikiri Dungeon 3 mug. It looks so...
Ah, ‘twas Club Nintendo related from what I’ve heard. Been on the fence with this one too.
Looks like it.
If what I’ve seen is correct, it seems like each copy of Narikiri Dungeon 3 had a serial number that you could submit to Club Nintendo. You would then be entered into a raffle in which 2,000 mugs and 100 wall clocks were given away, although I could not for the life of me find anything on the clock except for the fact that it existed.
And if you’re thinking about this one, I say go for it since there’s only one left! ‘Cause if you don’t I might snatch it up soon. c:

Zelos for the meme~
Why they are the best: Because he is the master of deflection and man if that doesn’t make him exceedingly interesting to re-examine on later playthroughs. It’s also interesting how he exists as a kind of parallel to Colette in how their positions are similar and yet completely different. Really, he comes off as such a shallow character when you first meet him (and he makes concentrated efforts to keep the party thinking this way), but there’s such depth to him and I really love that. Also, because of all this, he’s one of the few Tales characters that I feel has a purpose for having the pervy angle.
Why they are the worst: Weeeeell, he does betray us and he does spy on the girls in the hot spring and let Lloyd take the fall for it.
a canon fact (that shouldn’t be): He’s another one where I want to protect him from everything he experienced in his childhood, but it plays such a pivotal role in defining his character that I can’t. I desperately want to, but I can’t.
a non-canon fact (that should be): I would love if Zelos had his wings for more than just the one battle we fight him. They’re very pretty. Also, more cute sibling things with him and Seles! I know the game had some…but I want even more!
a piece of advice I would give them: It’s okay to let your guard down around them Zelos. They genuinely care about you.

Ah cool, thought I struck a nerve there haha. I had to listen to my video again cause Zesty is pretty much a blur to me, but yeah the points still stand. A lot of people felt that way for Alisha and while she never really connected with me personally, I can kinda see the attachment by others. Unfortunately Zesty became that Tales game that's a struggle to come back to both gameplay-wise and plotwise for me. At the very least, it looks like Berseria is on the right track.
I mean, I wrote an entire rant about Zestiria, it’s in my rant tag if you want to go see it, but Alisha was easily the most interesting character in the game, because she had so much potential and backstory that wasn’t explored, and then the part of her armatizing (Which really should have been a thing), just was totally destroyed. Which sucks. Her coming to the fact with how Seraph are seen, and getting to the spiritual side of the world was an adventure -- it showed character development, and gave us some conflict (that problem with Sorey in the beginning).
Instead, we’ve given a cardboard cutout of a story with Rose, who doesn’t affect Sorey because of what’s happened to her her entire life, and that’s just... that’s just boring. It’s that type of plot armor that you expect and hope you never see, but you HAVE to, and as much as I love Rose, I hate her for that same reason.
Zesty lost a lot of points for me in that department, but truthfully, I’d be able to overlook it if it wasn’t so ridiculously confusing to play to me. Zestiria’s equipment system just makes me want to pull each of my hairs out one by one, because it’s just so confusing and convoluted to use. It’s not simple, and the fact that they need to use SKITS to explain it to you shows you it’s ridiculous (and even then, it’s STILL confusing). That single handedly made me not want to play it ever again, to be honest (and personally, that sucks, because I want to Platinum it, because I do it with all the Tales Games at this point). But I don’t even want to touch this game again.
I didn’t even play the Alisha DLC (I needed a break before going back into that hell; the final boss of Zesty is the biggest load of bull I’ve EVER seen with it’s cheap ass mechanic to kill you, because it’s not even hard; it’s just cheap and annoying.) before handing it off to my friend in November when I beat it. It’s April. He still hasn’t beat it, because he’s not too thrilled with the game, either.
panbanrich replied to your post: “*rants about Zesty* -> *proceeds to post waifu pic from said game*...”:
Didn't mean to come off as offensive if I did, I was kinda going tongue & cheek, sorry. Very well aware of your opinion of the game. Keep doing you, don't ever change~
I wasn’t offended, I was just stating what my opinion was is all, haha.
I know I come off very blunt about them, so I might feel angry, my bad.
But yeah, Zesty just feels undercooked to me. Characters and music were the only thing good for me, and even then, the characters felt lacking.
Alisha sold me on her character as the only one I cared for, but they just... tossed her aside.

… Damn, Destiny does that to people? Glad I got off that train after I got to level 9, haha.
Destiny has gotten better, and to be fair, the game is still playable WITHOUT those weapons/armors. In certain cases it may be HARDER, but it’s not impossible.
In ToLink, the problem I have is not being able to make a good party, and without a good party, I can’t get stones, but i can’t get stones without a good party.
and i’m not paying for no stones.
nah.

Welcome to Tales of RNG Mobile in a nutshell. It's fun for a couple of months, but you'll grow tired of it when you get to the top.
I already have a game that abuses me like this: Destiny.
At least in that one I won’t get absolutely walled in a catch 22. If I ever feel myself to be on in Tales of Link, I’m done with it.
I almost felt like I was about 2 days ago.
