Thanks Freddy! For some reason this got flagged, but I pulled it out of the spam filter. I've marked you as an approved user so it won't happen again. :)

[@FreddyKen]

@@SuperDerek Yeah I thought it was something like that. I deleted the repost which oddly enough didn't get flagged.🤣 So my best guess would be, because I posted multiple long Comments in short succession.

[@FreddyKen]

And You're welcome.

[@ptourt]

Freddy you are a king amongst men

[@razielvaleth]

Circle base non-grid combat and nobody out here mentioning the CLASSIC Quest 64!? In all seriousness the pods keep getting better, y’all have become my #1 podcast for sure, keep up the good work and have fun in Philly!

[@VanitasSentiment13]

Edge of Eternity used the hexagon grid system

[@thecouchpotato88]

it''ll be nice for you to do a collab video while in Pennsylvania. An hour of game chat will be cool

[@Dave_Machine]

Welcome to The Legend of Link

[@dan_kotsu]

I think the only game that comes to mind with circle based non grid combat was arc the lad 4.

[@sarkastikwizard2204]

How nice of you to read my comment. I'm here for every episode, keep up the good work. It's appreciated! Also i wanna say how excited i am for the HD-2D Dragon Quest titles

[@laylaalder2251]

IT'S ZELDA FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

[@sarkastikwizard2204]

Tri-Rod outta nowhere!

[@ModelJames13]

Capcom, you earned my money! 💰

[@PengWinDood]

On the topic of Sea of Stars, it felt better to just run around the world and do whatever than progressing through the story. I don't know how to explain it but the story (and some of the characters) just doesn't feel interesting enough to interact with. The world design is 10/10 tho.

[@clatonstevenson]

Played it right through and I do agree with this. Beautiful game if not slightly shallow.

[@Xebusc]

Speaking of trails and one piece, if I didn’t start one piece like I did in 2020, I wouldn’t have been able to start my trails journey, told myself if I could start a 1100+ episode anime I can play it’s jrpg equivalent of trails lol

[@Xebusc]

Currently on cs4, started from sky fc little over a year ago

[@SuperDerek]

Reminds me of the old phrase: "How do you eat an elephant?" "One bite at a time." :)

[@fydiousmckormick]

Marvel was trying to ignore xmen and give it no support way before disney bought marvel.

[@Xebusc]

@@fydiousmckormick what? Lol

[@ryanlevack9361]

Chu ni literally 中二　is short for 中学校　2年生。 like Baku said it literally means middle school 2nd year

[@Some_Random_Guy]

All I have to say regarding Baku touching Cold Steel or not is that there is a reason why the subtitle for CS4 in Japan is called "End of Saga" Do with that information what you will.

[@Detsaw14]

Cool!!!!

[@ShadowKing1982]

Baku confusing the names Gray and Gary

[@WeebSauce]

It's actually a long running inside joke lol -Baku

[@FreddyKen]

*Mario & Luigi: Brothership:* My highlight from the direct was Mario & Luigi: Brothership. I already said it under the Weekly News video. I love Superstar Saga, the first game in the Series on the GBA. I never play Dream team(4) or Paper Jam(5) because I didn't have a 3DS. And after AlphaDream died I thought maybe Nintendo let's the Series die as well. So I'm happy so see it back, so far it looked great. I hope it will be a great game. *The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom:* Looked cute. While I think it's fine how the gameplay looks, but I wish the fighting was a bit more active. Currently is looked more passiv, like you sit more on a back and watch the fight. I will probably get it. *Ace Attorney Investigations Collection:* I'm always for more Ace Attorney, but I'm didn't even close to finish 4-6 NotLikeThis. *DRAGON QUEST HD-2D and Romancing SaGa 2:* These Looked nice I never played the original but I my play the remakes. But I don't now when I will have time for it, so many games in october/november NotLikeThis

[@BigCowProductions]

Capcom will never fully break the shackles of Crapcom until we get a proper Breath of Fire 5. But imagine 3, or even better 1-3, in Ni No Kuni/DQ 11 graphics. 4 in like Astral Chain/Okami etc. I would throw money at them

[@mechaotakugamer]

You gonna hangout with Wood hawker?

[@SuperDerek]

Yep! Staying at his place over the trip. :)

[@mechaotakugamer]

@SuperDerek hell yeah so that's means Beatem ups and super Derek collabs. Jk

[@SuperDerek]

@@mechaotakugamer let's make it happen!

[@emmanueljosephvalenzuela147]

Yey a collab would be good. How bout join him on his Nontendo Podcast~

[@mechaotakugamer]

Fairy tail caught me off guard, and now I'm hyping unresponsibly

[@mechaotakugamer]

BAKUSAN!!!!! What the heck dude his name is Gray fullbuster not Gary lmaooo

[@WeebSauce]

Sorry that is a long running inside joke lol -Baku

[@mechaotakugamer]

@@WeebSauce lol you Gabe me a good laugh

[@ChronicSensei]

Que The Mighty Bosstones!!!

[@SuperDerek]

It's Erek Ladd actually, but I definitely asked him to borrow some inspiration from the Bosstones when I commissioned the song! :)

[@FreddyKen]

I would say 162h for Cold steel 4 is already a slow run. I'm guessing Eagleknight was talking to every NPC after every major event, with the 162h time. When I look at HowLogToBeat the average is 107h. The Main Story average time is at 63. So I don't think that the Cold steel games are really that much longer than other longer RPGs like ff7 Rebirth, Dragon Quest 11, Fire Emblem: Three Houses when you play them normally. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth also took me 117h doing most of the side quest. So don't let such long playtimes scare you from playing it. A lot of it comes from skippable activities and you even have a fast forward mode if something is to slow. My Cold steel 4 run took me 329h, which is the ultra slow mode. But you need to take my Trails play times with a whole planet of salt. Most of the time is self inflicted because I played the intentionally ultra slow. I never used highspeed mode. I didn't use the run button. I didn't use fast travel. I walked in towns. etc.
