    Anyone watching Made in the Abyss? It's very like EtrIan Odyssey so I'm loving it. Last episode though was a hard watch.

    Watched the first two episode but fell off it since the only streaming service that has it for ireland doesn't have apps yet. Looks amazing but from what I've seen doesn't hold back from the implications of its world at all.

    It's not gratuitous or anything, they did a great job of making it not nice to watch. The actor as well was a little too good in the role :)

    I was thinking the same but if there's one thing I've learnt from watching anime its never judge an anime from gifs :D.

    I always watch the first episode of every show for a new season, with the majority and taking the studio into account I can tell in the first few minutes if its going to be dropped.

    Trails of Cold Steel 1 & 2 and Dragons Crown are getting PS4 ports

    I'll definitely rebuy Cold Steel 1 & 2 as my PS3's fans are pretty loud these days and the soundtrack deserves better :D

    Dragons Crown, I would have liked to have seen a new version, maybe at least add a couple of new classes and dungeons

    That Octopath Traveller game on switch looks amazing and the battle system sounds like loads of fun.

    Was really surprised to hear so much hype around a demo and was pretty sceptical, but it's the real deal, I played through it twice yesterday and it's an insta-buy for me already. It's like someone took the best aspects of Bravely Default and the SaGa games and mashed them together in a really striking looking game.

    I was interested in it when it was first supposed to come out but after all the delays I'll wait a bit to see if it's ok first, the delays pushed it behind Utawaerumono for me

    I really liked the GBA game though there in a completely diferent style to mainline entries. I fond SRPGS a bit of a slog depending on the game so I'll wait for impressions.

    I just beat Trails in the Sky SC. It took me forever to get into the first one but once this series gets its teeth into you its really engaging. I'm struggling not to buy the 3rd straight away.

    No way harder, "skip 1000 time without falling" "complete the game in 12hrs"

    I hope they fixed the issues with the PC version. It's converted from the mobile version so the backgrounds are way too bright.

    :mad: and from memory (guide back in the day) the reward is poo for the jump rope one.

    Real time sink for 100% in this. Looking at the numbers on steam 4.3% have killed 1000 enemies, 0.5% have killed 10k


    Still itching to replay it, one of my all time favourites. I'd say I wish it was backward compatible but I lost one of the discs.

    I'll wait until it's half of what they are looking for it though and see what the port is like I think.

    Went from using the FF7 PlayStation theme to the FF9 and it's mostly just for the music in each.

    What's the story with VIII? Is there any talk of a remaster or are they keeping quiet/possible remake in the works?
