Coco: You're just hearing what you want to hear... *folds arms*

I'm not sure how it is on the 3DS, but I enjoyed Tales of the Abyss when I played it on PS2. A lot of people don't like Luke as a character but I liked how he grew up as the game went on. Tear is awesome and I liked a lot of the villains too. I guess the 3D effects are more intense on some games than others, but it would probably give me a headache either way.

Even if Ultimate were a new difficulty, it would probably just be stat boosts and not different/more aggressive enemy behavior like it should be. I liked how PSO at least bothered to make enemies way more aggressive and change up boss attack patterns, and PSU S-rank was really lame in comparison. You're probably right though, I can easily see Ult being hidden behind some dumb restriction like AQs and such, anything to get you to put money into the game I guess. But yeah, just sounds like more of the same, which would have me bored pretty fast even on different characters. PSO2 has a ton of potential, but it feels like a lot of MMOs are that way these days.

Coco is NOT for sharing! All she wants to "handle" is her airboard...

Coco: I think you're confusing soft moans for growls, you big dork... >:l

Soulcalibur is a lot of fun from the character-making aspect. While SC5 isn't a very good game content-wise, it does have a really great character creator and that's half the fun of the game. I kinda wish more fighting games did that. And yeah, I would imagine the 3D effect would very easily give me a migraine, my eyes are extremely sensitive to both light and strain so I can't imagine it would be very good for me. Plus my glasses would probably mess it all up anyway.

That's what makes me bored with all the new content announcements for PSO2, if I still played I'd run the new stuff once or twice and be right back where I was before--bored. That and every new group mission is just another opportunity for the elitists to be assholes and ruin the fun anyway, and personally I play games to wind down and have fun, so that sorta thing isn't for me. If PSU is anything to go by, I'd eventually just spend all my time in the dumb casino anyway, haha.

Oh god, not Faina too >_<; Coco can't handle all of you!

Coco: Grrrr... I-I'm not tsun, y-you're just a perv D:

Nintendo could entice me with Smash Bros games until the end of time because I've always found them a lot of fun. Even though I prefer more technical fighters like Dead or Alive, Smash makes for a really fun party game. I've always preferred Captain Falcon/Fox/Link/Marth (or other Fire Emblem characters) in those games. If I got it it would be on Wii U though, I can't imagine playing a controller-abusive game like that on a handheld and 3D or not, my tendency for migraines and seizures would probably drive me nuts too >_<

Seriously, PSO2 needs airboard racing or something like that, I'd totally play again XD Coco needs to bust out some sick air yo. I always felt like PSO2 (and MMOs in general) needed a lot more to do than just kill stuff over and over, it needs some minigames or something like that. Faina would be shreddin' tricks with the best of them after some time under Cocona's instruction :3

Coco: O~O;;; *gasps and shoves her away* D-DAMMIT NEDRAAAA >_<*

I'm really looking forward to Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors, open-world Zelda, and hopefully some new Mario and Metroid games. It would be cool to see some more JRPGs come to it, and I thought Tales of Graces originally being a Wii game would be the start of that, but not so much. Sophie should be in Smash Bros :O

I'm sure jet boot racing could be a thing, maybe Cocona could give it a shot when she's bored of airboards :P (never!) If she doesn't drive herself bonkers trying to teach Faina how to balance, that is...

Coco: ;______; Nooooonononono stoppiiiitttt >///<;;; I-I didn't s-say you could do thiiis!! *squirms and tries to fend her off*

I've been wanting to get a Wii U, so many games on it that just look really fun. I played Mario Kart 8 and it was insanely fun, and I like how they generally stay away from press-square-to-win games trying to be movies. These days I'd rather just play something silly and fun or with a good story.

Oof, accessories are still that expensive huh >_< I'm sure Cocona could help her with her balance with her airboard mastery :P Glad you liked my posts too, I may have one more to do if I ever stop being lazy and update my client to see if I can get some screenshots for my next fanfic. If I can connect without too much trouble anyway.

Coco: O___O;; H-heeeyyy!! *flails* S-staaaahp >_<;;

I'm gonna wait a bit on a PS4 myself, but there's lots of good games on the horizon for it. I'm really stoked about the next Ys game being on it :O

Always nice to see people noticing :P Your Halloween idea sounds cool too, and purple definitely fits her. I love the little added clumsy touch with her bandaids too, don't see a lot of people doing that. It sounds like someone wants to be your waifu in the fashion thread anyway XD Always thought you and Ezo had some of the better posts in that thread, despite what others may think.

Coco: >//>;; W-well at least the outfit is comfy... *sits and sulks*

I keep flipping between PC and console gaming, haha. Been spending a lot of time on my PS3 as of late and I'd like to get a PS4 at some point for some upcoming games. I used to game a lot on PC but nowadays it's just random Steam things and Civ5 and the occasional Minecraft. I had fun with my PSP, but handhelds just don't really grip me that well.

Bah, this place is just full of negativity and haters, I think a lot of people like your stuff and don't bother to comment. She's really cute and had a good selection of outfits, I thought Tiger Pierce / Thousand Rim / Alph Lyla / Bouncer outfit looked the best on her.

Coco: *sighs* F-fine, here...n-no funny business though...!

Trails originally came out in Japan in 05 or 06, been a pretty long-running RPG series. First chapter (the one Ezo and I are playing) starts out slow, but really ramps up in plot toward the end and closes on a massive cliffhanger, so it's really entertaining if given a chance. It's not too hard of a game until the end, where you need a really solid strategy for the end bosses. Do you prefer handhelds over PC?

Also your fashion post was great, she looks very cute in a lot of outfits

Coco: Well at least ONE of us is happy... *folds arms* H-hey, if I have to wear it, you should too >:l

T&E looks really pretty, I definitely like the art direction. Glad to hear it's fun too. I'm replaying The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky on Steam off and on, beat it twice on PSP and it's one of my favorite RPGs ever. Second chapter should be out later this year or early next and I'm excited :3 Gameplay isn't as fun as Graces (I MISS MY SOPHIE ;_; ) but it's a great game. And it got cool over here so it's a good time to stay in with a nice video game :P I hates cold!

Coco: ._.; Th-this is so boo...I-I mean, isn't there any kind of like, payment for this? Why me ;_;

sdfhkljhsdlgjkhsdkjg those ultimate weapon spheres, those were the worst >_< I got most of them but they were too annoying to care that much about. And yeah, if I play an RPG it's for the story and the characters, and I like to do as much of the customization options as I can. I like getting all skills and anything else that affects gameplay, but I don't get too bent out of shape if I don't have every single piece of equipment. Trophies just don't really feel rewarding to me.

Coco: Tch...f-fine, whatever >_>; I-it's amazing I even wear this around you...

Zhonecage was really boring to me, I'm kinda tired of bonus dungeons that either recycle a bunch of old things (Xillia's) or make ten floors of mostly the same thing over and over. I did a decent amount of it, but I never felt the motivation to finish it. I can't get into Trophies and such either, so I didn't have much desire to finish things like that outside of the challenge. I just wanted to beat things up with Sophie the whole time

Coco: *sighs* You're hopeless... a-and just lucky that I like this outfit >_>;;

Zero Dissolver is great for all the crazy streams of light and the "goodbye" at the end XD Expiation needs to be a freaking Double Saber PA, I love how it's literally Hubert raging on everything. Also a big fan of Ruby Inferno, Fever Dream (how can you not be?), Lunar Requiem, and Punishing Blossom. Can't forget THUNDEROUS CELESTIAL ETC either XD

Coco: S-stop looking at my chest >///>; And th-they're probably all skimpy...

Fire Dragon Rampage is awesome XD "BURN!!" I think Shadow Moment is my favorite of her Mystic Artes, she's so badass. Hubert's Expiation and No Quarter are amazing too. I haven't done Lambda Theos yet but I'm sure that's a fun fight.

Coco: Ehhh?! L-like what >_>;; (a-at least it looked good on me...)

Sophie's one of the most well-rounded Tales characters ever, definitely my favorite to play as. Deadly Force is pretty amazing XD She also makes soloing the Warrior's Peak bosses pretty easy too. Fire dragon is such a pain because his range is so unfair and I found him a bit harder to predict than the other two. I never found Rockgagong too difficult other than his big numbarz, but it's an entertaining fight at least.

Handhelds are the bane of sleep @_@ It used to be my PSP playing PSPo2 and such, now it's just my phone :P

Coco: o__________o;; H-hey, I-I was just trying it on...! D-don't be pervin' on me D:

Sophie is pretty much the best, super-fast with awesome moves and healing to boot. Fortunately I didn't find the regular bosses too hard outside of Kurt/Emeraude/Fodra Queen, but some of the extra bosses were a pretty good challenge. The red dragon was a real bastard x_x

That's quite a backlog :P I can speak for Xillia, Abyss, and Breath of Fire, they're all awesome.

Coco: I-it's because you latched onto me when I put on the Alph Lyla, j-jerk...! >///>

Graces f is one of my favorite RPGs now, was a really fun game and the characters were great. Get on dat backloooog! I've got a decent one myself though, with finishing Resonance of Fate, Valkyria Chronicles, and Atelier Ayesha. Need moar trophies in DoA5 too o_o

Coco: "I-I'm not tsun...! Wh-why would you even th-think that... >_>;;"

I do regret you and I didn't get to play more together when I was active. I've taken more of a single-player game approach these days, I most recently cleared Tales of Graces f and I'm working on a Trails in the Sky HD replay on Steam. Need to get Xillia 2 sometime too :O

I'm online here, i-is that not good enough ;________;

Honestly I haven't even updated my PSO2 client in a long time, I don't know if I can even log in without a VPN. Only reason I don't have it uninstalled is because I'll need it to get some screenshots when I do my sequel story. By the way, your Bouncer char's design is really great :3

Are you still wanting to do some PSO2 fan fiction sometime? I'd like to see some modern work from you :O I thinking writing over-the-top OP scenes and characters can be a lot of fun for readers, but only if you have the right setting. I personally prefer it either has to be done for comedic effect or the whole thing has to be completely outrageous and fun, where everyone is OP (think Kill La Kill). Ce'Nedra might be lightning-quick on the battlefield, but I think it'd be a great contrast to have her adversary be equally powerful. I think that would be really fun to write.

In any case, I'll probably keep her the same for the sequel. Obviously a lot will have changed given how I ended my first story, but I'm sure I can come up with more scenes for her :P I knew I had to throw her perverted little self into a side story, haha.

Cocona: "Pssh, I-I won't lose to her!! Wh-what kinda stupid boo bet is this..."
