      I wouldn't mind, but I can understand why they never changed it. Since the games are primarily aimed at a younger demographic, the red-green-blue triangle very quickly explains the concept of type weaknesses in a intuitive way. A kid won't have to ask why water is strong against fire. But if you have uhh psychic-dark-ghosts starters or whatever, the concept becomes more abstract from get-go instead of later on in the game.

And even if i haven't been a fan of the Breath of the Wild era of Zelda (open world fatigue is real) i could not even pretend to make the argument that the game is "shit" in the same way as the recent pokemon games, everything the game tries to do it does well and functions without any troubles. The Kirby games have been great, Animal Crossing still goes hard, Metroid Dread is easily one of my favorites in the franchise, etc etc etc.
      Nintendo does milk nostalgia but with most of the franchises they at least have the decency to make sure that the product is still good, Pokemon is exceptionally poorly made compared to the other games they put out.

    Throwing my hat in to support Garnt and Joey starting the Trails series. I always heard of Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel as cult classic RPGs in the past, but I properly gave the series a shot a few years ago and, and it's a wonderful journey. This is the perfect time to jump in as well with them finally pushing out English localizations of the 4th and 5th games (though Joey has the luxury of going through the games in Japanese, which are way further ahead).
    It scratches a particular niche for RPG lovers. Definitely not for everybody (Connor definitely won't like them), but the series deserves all the praise it gets.

    As another Trails fan voicing in for the franchize, I absolutely agree that it's an amazing JRPG and that the pay-off is definitely here. Garnt explained the premise quite well and it's definitely true that it has some of, if not, the best world-building I've come to know in any JRPG series ever. Literally almost every NPC has a name, its own story, 2 new dialogue options after every major plot point event, is capable of sorting out their own problems and some even reappear across multiple game arcs. You can still meet old NPCs you were used to seeing in the older games in the newer ones on the same spot too!
    That being said yeah, as you could probably imagine, the games are very text-heavy, apart from doing fights, some main quests, etc, it consist of a lot of running around cities and actually talking to NPCs (I mean you can skip it and not do it, but I feel like it's such a huge part of the game that if you were to do that, the game is simply not for you). On top of that, with a lot of games to the series and with how the games are designed, I personally find myself having over 100 hours on every single one of these games (some of them even over 200). Now granted I do tend to play my games rather slowly and I'm more of a completionist, it's still definitely a considerable time-investment that you need to account for when you get into it. Pair that up with how the game is and that it has a turn-based combat system (which I absolutely love, but I fully understand its not for everyone), I do get why it may be a hard series to get into.
    At the end of the day though, I still believe those absolutely epic moments where various characters get mentions from others you have only heard of up until that moment, when they actually meet and unite across different arcs, interact together, and fight together are absolutely amazing and you will grin from ear to ear after experiencing that awesome adventure.

    Knowing Garnt's tastes in games. I really think he would enjoy the "Trails" series of games. For those who would like to play these games, the structure of games is simpler than what Garnt said. It's really chronological, divided into successives games about (successives) stories arc. For example, the first 3 games are about Liberl arc and the names are trails in the sky 1,2,3.
    So the only rule to follow is to pick any of the first game of an arc. You could start with Trails in the sky 1 or you could start with trails of cold steel 1 based on Erebonia empire arc. If you pick the latter, you will be spoiled about Sky arc at some point.
    The earlier you pick, the more you will taste world building and enjoy the story but you really can start with any of the 1st game of a story arc. Its really depend how much time you want to spend (Starting from the first game its hundreds of hours)

I love the story and gameplay for the death end request games. I'm hoping if they get a third game made it'll combine the best parts of both. Utawarerumono is a game series that's a slow burn story interspersed with bits of turn based strategy battles with fun combo gameplay. The emotional payoff of both mask of deception and mask of truth are great! I'm currently playing prelude to the fallen( the actual first game in the series that the U.S. got late') I imagine I'll feel the same even after having fully watched it's super condensed anime counterpart years ago.

    I was fist pumping so hard from Garnt just mentioning Trails. To the maybe 2 or 3 people that read this, don't let the mention of the 20 minute video intimidate you (there was a bit of trouble in the past where 2 earlier games didn't have English localization, BUT this problem has been fixed.). The series is long, but it tells a linear story across all its games (Japanese release order matches the order of events. It's not hard to follow). For those who don't want to Google anything, the order is Sky games, Crossbell (Zero/Azure), and Cold Steel (and most of them have the decency to be subtitled 1, 2, 3). Every single one of the games are on Steam (and a majority are on nearly every console).
    You can play the first game Trails in the Sky FC on a 20 year old laptop. Also, it's dirt cheap. It goes on sale all the time for as little as 10 bucks. Yes, there's an intended (and ideal) order to the games, but it's really not that complicated.
    Also, if you're not into JRPGs PLEASE at least listen to the soundtrack. It is one of the best soundtracks out there. Every game in the series has dozens of absolute bangers.

    the trails series doesn’t have a complicated order to get into.
    You start chronologically but the first game is from 2004 and that’s how the high barrier of entry comes from. There are 12 games, but the problem plaguing the series for western players is the localisation taking ages. As of right now all Games 5, 11 and 12 aren’t available in an official english translation. Although Game 5 does get one early next year…
    anyways it’s worth getting into, imo the best story and most memorable characters i’ve experienced in any jrpg.

      I can never agree with starting Trails are CS because the biggest twist from the end of the first game is just brought up casually in conversation in CS1 and there is just no gravity to it if you don't know what they're talking about. And then there is how closely the end of CS1 ties into the end of Ao/Azure. But more importantly then any of that so many people are in such a rush to get to Cold Steel 1 when I just don't think its worth it as a game, they introduce so many new characters at once they aren't able to spend enough time fleshing each one out, and then there is how repetitive and formulaic it is too that I can easily see people get turned off by it. I had a friend that started at CS1 and fell off because of how formulaic it was, and said friend had no problem getting into Sky FC.

      @@makii4772 The first game its a very slow burn and is a ton of set up until what feels like 60-70% in, that's something you gotta be ready to put up with. It's still fun the whole way through but its but its more slow paced and relaxed with no major stake until later. With all the set up being all payoff in the next game. There are also fan patches that add voice acting from the vita version if you want those.

    trails series is worth it, seriously, there's a lot of detail in the writing even after it goes as far as the cold steel arc. the romance aspect of the cold steel goes a bit too far that it becomes a parody but it's still really good

    The directors of “Game of Thrones” were rushing for a Star Wars series with Disney. That’s why they rushed GOT and finished it 2 seasons early. The problem was that they botched it so badly that Disney didn’t want them make a Star Wars show for them anymore. The directors of the show claimed that they left Disney on their own terms. Insisting that they weren’t kicked out. However Disney very much did drop them.

    I recently started HRT about 2 months ago and during it I developed a sesame allergy. Hives just start appearing all over my arms which for me was the first time I've ever experienced an allergic reaction. HUGE L because my family is Laotian so I have to tell my parents I can't eat most homecooking like I used to. 💀

      Are you on estrogen? I recently learned that women are more likely to have autoimmune diseases and an increase in estrogen either through puberty or HRT can manifest latent genetic autoimmune issues. Apparently scientists don't really know why yet. Sorry that's happening for you!!

    I flipped the fuck out when Garnt casually brought up the Trails series. I feel like it's still so niche in the west I hardly ever hear people talk about it randomly. It's also really not that hard to get into in 2022/2023 as long as you have a PC/Laptop.
    Start with the Trails in the Sky games and just follow the chronological order from there (Sky, Zero/Azure games, then the four Cold Steel games). They're fairly long JRPGs sure, but there's no need to rush through. Play at your own pace and you'll eventually just catch up to the newest release. Especially since they take so long to localize. Also yes, they are as good as people say. The fanbase is so hardcore for a reason lol
    Edit: Just a bit of context, I started with Cold Steel 1+2 and went back to the Sky games from there, which was honestly fine as well. I just wouldn't start in the middle of an arc or with the latest release. You'll definitely miss out on a lot if you do.

    Garnt's explanation of what he liked about the later seasons of Game of Thrones and why he's interested in Trails tells me he would be absolutely obsessed with Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere novels if he read them. Get this man on some Mistborn and Stormlight Archive, Sanderlanches would drive him insane.
