no, your argument was that the neogaf thread for x/x-2 hd is bigger than the neogaf thread for lightning returns, therefore its sales are probably higher. which is silly. by that logic, shin megami tensei iv should have outsold the fuck out of call of duty ghosts. just wait for facts. don't contribute to misinformation.

exactly, didn't the BF4 gaf thread outnumber cod ghost thread to like 5 to 1? Yet Cod Ghost is easily outperforming BF4 sales.

I remember working on this game and our translator was totally tortured over what to do with that line. In Japanese they call themselves YuRiPa, but YRP is the sound you make when you have indigestion. I -still- don't like that.

Also: how did fake Yuna manage to schedule, book, and choreograph a concert without the real Yuna stopping her before the day of the concert itself, I'd imagine that would be real bad PR for yourself

What was wrong with YuRiPa? It sounds nicer and people could easily figure out the origin.

Them weeaboos were controlling real-time, wardrobe-changing J-Popstars. I'm sure they would have been okay lol.

Himu · « **Reply #549 on:** April 14, 2014, 12:52:33 PM »

Problem with with YuRiPa is probably Paine. In Japanese version her name is pronounced like Pine with a PA in front of ine. In English, it's Pain. So YuRiPa is an inconsistency in the English translated text since we don't pronounce Pain with a Pa but with a Pe.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #550 on:** April 14, 2014, 02:48:38 PM »

I don't understand why they didn't just call her Pine, then. Most American cities have a Pine Street so it would have been very relatable to the American urban youth.

Himu · « **Reply #551 on:** April 14, 2014, 02:53:41 PM »

パイン is Pain in romaji. But it doesn't mean Pain as we know it in English. ペイン does.

However, Pain fits the character of Paine, who has a dark sense of humor and a bad past (tm). She also dresses in black. So Pain works whereas Pine is lame.

The English equivalent is probably YuRiPe which doesn't have as much kick as YuRiPa.

At least, that's how I'm seeing the logic. Sho probably has different reasoning and I'm interested in reading them and I can't imagine the headache that was your job.

Himu · « **Reply #558 on:** April 14, 2014, 06:44:16 PM »

The real ending is not the best ending.

And it's not required to get 100% to get the mascot dress. It's near perfect completion, though. But it mostly requires an Episode Complete in every location, which isn't too bad.

So you're all the better off just enjoying the game and not being ocd.

nachobro · « **Reply #559 on:** April 14, 2014, 07:02:36 PM »

Wasn't there some kind of special order you have to do everything to get the mascot dressphere? I remember something about that.

bonus ending is on youtube; special class is useless if youre using a guide to 100% it on the first go as all levels will already be completed.

i dont think you have to do the levels in a certain order.

Himu · « **Reply #563 on:** April 14, 2014, 10:06:17 PM »

Tip. In the first half make sure that They don't score. Turn it to manual A and right side when the guy with 13 shot gets the ball. In half time equip jecht shot. Cheese it. Set half the team to mark the guy with 13 shot. When he gets the ball set it to mark mode.

Or you could cheese it by standing inside the goal while the Goers have the ball. Sit in your goal and everyone will spin in circles and no one will be able to score. You have to stand a specific way though in order for it to work.

i fucking got it. scored with Tidus in the first half cuz the setup was open enough. Second half, they got a score, but thats ok, cause I got a Jecht Shot in. Then I just sat at the Goal and glitched it.

I posted a pathing guide earlier in the thread but there's not much to it. The positions are super confusing looking but with some trial and error you'll get it.

I've never gotten a perfect run though lol

But I've always gotten Kimahri's weapon.

nachobro · « **Reply #570 on:** April 24, 2014, 01:41:16 PM »

Finishing up Chapter 1 and stuff is starting to click again. There's an annoying period for me with this game where battles just seem more random than anything. But now that I've got the girls into leveling up different roles it's finally starting to make some sense. Festivalist sphere is really damn good too. I don't have Paine working on much but Warrior and Festivalist at the moment though. Got Rikku with Thief and Black Mage and Festivalist. Got Yuna doing White Mage, Gunner, Dancer, and Festivalist. Yuna's probably gonna be heavy as a utility player.

It also helps that I took everyone's advice and said fuck 100%. I'll worry about that in NG+

Best thing to do with Khimari is have him learn bomb then blow him up in random battles where you're fine with two party members.

10,000 isn't necessary. He just drops his price on weapons, and even then, they're pretty shit weapons. This is one of the few games where weapons mean shit. Just equip the item that has the perks you want.

Himu · « **Reply #585 on:** May 02, 2014, 04:23:07 PM »

While Demi has a point, consider that his brother sells those weapons with the four empty slots at Macalania Forest at a huge discount later on, so giving the 10k has its uses.

demi · « **Reply #586 on:** May 02, 2014, 04:52:03 PM »

10,000 (isnt it actually 10,001) is a drop in the bucket, as well.

Plus you get at least a few instances where you can pony up the 10 grand.

The first time to Kilika, then I believe the next is immediately after when heading to Luca.

Himu · « **Reply #587 on:** May 02, 2014, 04:55:51 PM »

There are four opportunities. If you don't buy anything, you'll have more than enough. You even get like 6k or 8k in a treasure chest at the highroad - which is your last opportunity to give him money.

And it is 10,001.

Blitzball quickly becomes "Score once and hide behind your own goaltender until the match is over" with a decent team.

The nice thing is you can watch TV or something while doing it without much concern. Behind your tender you'll either be ignored or need to break through one attacker to be ignored.

demi · « **Reply #597 on:** May 06, 2014, 08:50:44 PM »

Do you need to be the highest scorer? Or is that for different prizes.

Freyj · « **Reply #598 on:** May 06, 2014, 09:48:39 PM »

If Tidus gets a goal in 60-80% of the games (Jecht Shot wastes a lot of time and is pretty much guaranteed) you'll get top scorer, but the Reels and Sigil are always 1st Team.

demi · « **Reply #599 on:** May 06, 2014, 09:51:57 PM »

I got Attack Reels, had to reset data for the Status Reels, though. Eek.
