I just picked up used copies of Final Fantasy Type 0 and Tales of Berseria. When I'll actually get to them, I'm not sure.  ;D

I thought some of the games have a built in screenshot thing, too? I remember taking pics from Animal Crossing every now and then when I got a new outfit or a villager said something funny. It saved it to the memory card and you had to look it up on a computer but the quality was fine.

I've just gotten used to using Google, although they have a new policy on images that is annoying (I think you can't download pictures) so if I really need something like that I might use Bing instead.

Ali Hillis is super nice! I met her at a local convention (Anime Weekend Atlanta). Most anime and game conventions now have signings like that. Usually you have to pay a fee, but that's fairly common now. She's very down to earth though. I mentioned that I had just finished playing World of Final Fantasy and how I loved chibi Lightning and we talked about that for a minute while she signed the artwork.

The next day she had an early panel, like 11 am, and it was the last day of the con so not that many people were there, and instead of sitting up on the stage, she brought the microphone down and sat close to the small group of us that was there in a more personal setting.

I got another autograph actually because that same day I waited to get one from Laura Bailey (she did Serah's voice in the FFXIII games) and once I got that, Ali's line was almost gone so I went back and had her sign the same artwork that Laura signed, and we talked about how there was a Final Fantasy concert at the con that day and how good the music was in the FFXIII series. Ali also mentioned that more Lightning was on the way, and at her earlier panel she had talked about Dissidia and the mobile games so I'm hoping she was referring to yet another new game.

I probably spent at least $70 just to see her but it was totally worth it.



Somewhat related but I have a video (http://sword0fstorms.tumblr.com/post/166022192761/voice-actor-panel-awa-2017-featuring-feodor-chin) of Ali, Laura, Jennifer Hale, and Feodor Chin (the voice of Zenyatta from Overwatch) from a panel they did, too.

This year at Momocon there's a lot of voice actors I'm going to try and meet: Lucie Pohl (Mercy from Overwatch), Jen Cohn (Pharah from Overwatch), Crispin Freeman (Regal from Tales of Symphonia/Winston from Overwatch), and Kari Wahlgren (Raine from Tales of Symphonia).

For Pokemon Sun and Moon specifically, you trade in the Festival Plaza. I think you can also do global trading if you're linked up to wifi, but that's random so you don't know which Pokemon you'll get. I had my friend's Friend Code though so I was able to trade with them specifically by finding them in the Festival Plaza.

I wouldn't mind having titles. They were pretty cool!

For the most part I try to keep the cables that actually come with the system, so I still have the Microsoft one for the Xbox One and the Sony one for my PS4. That's why I was concerned with it not working, but fortunately it was just the switcher and not the HDMI cable.
#98
Oh! Well I guess we'll have to coordinate, or I'll just keep checking! My character name is Senah Kha if you want to try on your end.

Currently my FC is mostly spamming Eureka (I really want the t-rex mount).
#99
Another Golden Sun game might be cool. I really enjoyed all of the ones that are already out.

ESO = Elder Scrolls Online. It's a free to play MMO once you purchase the game.

It feels like an Elder Scrolls game, but the way inventory is handled is awful (because they want you to pay for more space).
#101
I have a red 3DS XL but I hardly play it now. I'm still working on Pokemon Sun. I had a Pokemon that needed to be traded to evolve and it took forever to find someone to trade with. So now I have my full party ready, I'll try to finish it.

I got monk to 70 in FFXIV so now I have the title of "Goddess of War"  8) Only need to get black mage to 70 and I'll have all the combat classes maxed.

Oh and Mai my characters name on FFXIV is Kini Otonashi if you want to friend add me.  :3

I tried to add you but it said that name didn't exist. I'm not sure how to add friends from other servers.

I use a 24" Vizio for my pc, my PS4, and Xbone and it only has one HDMI port. Unfortunately every HDMI switcher I've tried has been awful, so I end up just switching the actual cable.

But now I mostly only use the PS4 and I have a laptop now so I haven't looked into better switchers.

Sony consoles tend to have issues with switchers. For some reason, it has handshaking issues with TVs. PS3s were notorious for this and I still believe it broke the HDMI input on my old TV that I no longer have. Had to switch to Component since I didn't have another HDMI input.

My first guess would be the PS4 is the culprit but could also be the switcher or the cable. My roku did not like the ultra thin HDMI cables I got from Monoprice but worked fine with a normal sized one.

Yeah, my PS4 was the biggest problem. It worked fine at first but eventually stopped working with the switcher at all. But after that happened I realized the switcher was an issue because even with my PC the screen would flicker a lot! I thought at first it was just the tv (because it fell over once) but once I hooked the PC HDMI right up to the tv instead of through the switcher, all the issues went away.

I just saw it today and it was awesome. I really want to see it again tbh.

I'll start this by being cheesy and saying that I remember when there wasn't even voice acting in games, but now I have no idea what it would be like without it.

Personally my #1 favorite voice actress is Ali Hillis, who does Lightning from any FFXIII related stuff, and was also the voice of Liara T'soni from the original Mass Effect trilogy. Last year I actually got to meet her in person and got her autograph.


I also love:
Jennifer Hale (femShep)
Matthew Mercer (McCree from Overwatch)
Kari Wahlgren (does a lot of stuff but my favorite is still Raine Sage from Tales of Symphonia)

That being said, who are some of your favorites?

My roommate recently just ordered Rock Band 4 along with the guitars for XBox One. I think since we already have XBL that some of the songs from Rock Band 3 should carry over. They're looking forward to that more than I am but I haven't looked at the song list yet.
#108
There's still exclusives, but most of the good ones have been on the PS4 rather than the Xbox One. The X1 I think really got hurt by the initial poor sales caused by the Kinect controversy when it first came out.
#109
I just had some macaroni and cheese that had Chipotle sauce mixed in. It was ok but I definitely prefer the salsa one instead.
#110
Are there any good jrpgs on the Xbox One? I haven't noticed any but I haven't really been paying attention honestly. I mean I already have an Xbox One but good jrpgs are always a point of interest.
#111
Yeah same. My FC is very active but we mostly use Discord to talk so the in-game chat is not as active, except for the one guy who can't get his mic to ever work properly so he replies in the game. And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and sometimes Saturday nights are when most of us are online.

I got Dragoon and Red Mage to level 70 in FFXIV.

What server do you play on?  I used to play and have a like lvl 55 Bard but the few people I used to play with all quit on me and the server Zidart is on is always closed for new people.  >.>

I'm on Balmung, which they had recently just opened again after being closed since the release of Stormblood. I'm not sure if it's still open now, at least for new character creation, but I think transfers can still be made if you already have a character on another server (although you do have to pay to transfer).

I have a level 35 alt on the Jenova server but the people I was playing with there stopped playing.

Nintendo's just really gun shy about online gaming because there's a lot of potential for harassment and other stuff that's not very family friendly. If you've ever played games online on XBL or PSN I'm sure you know what I mean. Trash talking taken to the extreme and you can't police that very well.

Personally I don't have a Switch yet, and right now I really only want it for Breath of the Wild, but I can just play that on my Wii U if it comes down to it. I'll probably wait until it at least drops to the $200 range to pick it up, and by then more games should be available.
#114
I don't think I have five, but here's three. Definitely got my money's worth out of these.

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
FFXIV
Horizon Zero Dawn

I actually have a lot of the old EGA avatars (the ones I made) still on a flash drive if there's a way to upload them.

It's so hard to go back to retro stuff. I'm currently trying to play through FFVIII because I never played it and I want to learn about Squall, but between the graphics and the clunky battle system I'm just barely past the first dungeon.
#118
My battlenet is
PhoenixChase#1932

I only have Overwatch.
#119
I got the Xbox One for Halo and Gears of War but Halo 5 and Gears of War 4 were disappointing, and outside of that I can't think of anything that I can't just get on PC or PS4 so I don't really use it much.
#120
They could have a chance but they really have to work on battery life. Personally that was always my #1 issue with Sony handhelds.
