This FFVI fan and Terra fan shall be crying salty tears into his pillow tonight.
Really, it may be hype backlash to a degree on my part, but I never found Cloud all that remarkable. He's one of FF's better protagonists, ( I consider him better then Luneth/Onion Knight, Cecil, Bartz, Zidane, Tidus, Vaan, and Lightning, but worse then Warrior of Light, Firion, Terra, and Squall.) but not the one I'd get hyped for. I'll grant that he's a blast in Smash and has become my off-main (Robin is my overall main), just not my FF pick.
I'd have done cartwheels of joy if we got Terra or Squall.

What a morning I had.
I get woken up by a call from my dad. He tells me to drive out to the trailer he lives at to watch his dogs. He can't go out there, because my sister got involved in an auto-wreck.
Some motorcyclist jerk cut through a parking lot and into traffic and crashed into my sister's car. Fortunately, my sister only got a mild arm injury. (The motorcycle guy who was at fault, however, is looking to have both a shattered leg and shattered foot.)
My family is breathing easy. Though when my dad woke me up to get me driving out to his trailer, the only thing I was told was that there was an accident, my sister's car was destroyed, and some people were hurt. As I was driving out, I was filled with anxiety over what could have happened. (Was my sister's life in serious danger? And she was a mother, was my nephew and niece possibly hurt as well? And it would have been perfectly in-character for my dad to be hospitalized, call me from the hospital, and just act like he himself wasn't hurt.)
Still, everything's cool now. I can't help but worry when stuff like this happens, though. I inherited a bit of my mother's worry-wart character, especially when loved ones are in possible danger.

Hmm? Hold on a second.
In the broadcast, Sakurai said we'd be playing as Corrin before his game releases, and Fates releases on the 19th of February. Yet the wording Nintendo gave on Twitter regarding Bayonetta would imply that she'll still be unreleased for Smash by the time Fire Emblem Fates gets released.
I had assumed that Corrin and Bayonetta would be released at the same time, but this suggests that Bayonetta won't be available for download until after Fates' release, thus meaning they'll be released at two separate points in time. Either that or they had to push back the release date for the DLC a bit.
Man, and I had been hoping for a February 2nd release for both characters. It would mean that Bayonetta gets into Smash on Platinum's 10th anniversary, and Corrin would convinently also be released at the same time.

I'm finding Xenoblade Chronicles X to be an all consuming game. The plot is... not fundamentally bad. The presentation is pretty lame, though. It took until Chapter 8 for me to really get interested in what's going on. I find myself liking the writing of non-plot important quests more then the main story. I like the 'Fashion Gear' concept. I can dress my character as I please and not worry about sacrificing stats to do it. In games like this, I always give my character face concealing headgear. Some people think that a character needs a visible face for the audience to come to like the character, I like to challenge that concept. Before I knew it, I had developed a strong fondness for a masked, faceless protagonist. I rather like how my character looks, but I suppose some might feel that he looks like a generic foot soldier from some hopelessly bland evil empire.

Honestly, I probably would have never noticed this if other people didn't bring it up.
I feel no inclination to vote. I'm sure that in the game, there may be a few cutscenes that gives dramatic closeups of Miriam, but for the most part the camera will be zoomed out for regular gameplay and you wouldn't even be able to make meaningful note of her bust anyway.

Some want to change existing established characters into something they're not (i.e. the "movement" which claims Samus Aran is transgendered. She's not, for the record.) I'm sorry but what. Off-topic, but I'll explain. A question that someone working on Metroid was given was run through Google Translate, and it seemed to peg Samus Aran as a transsexual. This led to a transsexual feminist named Brianna Wu trumpeting "Samus is transsexual, get over it". However, in actuality, the question the Metroid developer was asked? He was asked if Metroid might appear on non-Nintendo systems, to which the developer responded "That's about as likely as Samus being a tranny". So, yeah, the whole 'Samus is transgender' is a result of a mistranslation.

...Right then, this topic kinda exploded in posts since I was last here last night.
Welp, let's petition that IGA give her a cow-themed alt costume to reference her cup size.

So long as the game doesn't dwell on this matter (like Maria did in Judgment, as I've seen a few people bring up here) I'm not bothered by a seemingly larger breast size.
So for the moment I've no strong feelings one way or the other.
EDIT: Actually, suddenly I'm reminded, in Portrait of Ruin there was this one enemy who would attack you if you were playing as a male character, but he'd offer you flowers if you were playing as a female character. Perhaps we could make a similar concept, somewhere in the castle there's this male pervert monster who notes Miriam's bust size. Make a little gag out of it, but not spent an unnecessary amount of time on the subject. (Like, again, how Maria was almost completely fixated on the subject in Castlevania Judgment.)

For my hobby of gaming, 2015 was a glorious year for game announcements. Not to mention Kickstarters like Shenmue 3, Yooka-Laylee, and... this one gothic-based game. Hmm. The name seems to escape me.
Unfortunately, due to personal reasons I won't go into, 2015 was not all that good of a year for me. (A shame, since 2012-14 were all largely good years for me.) Here's to hoping that 2016 is better for personal life matters. And hope real life at least treated you guys nicely this year.

It's a wondrous return to older RPGs, but it doesn't ride entirely on old school gameplay either.
I should warn you that the game gets very repetitive after chapter 4. I won't tell you how it gets repetitive, I will say that how it gets repetitive is justified in the game's plot, but it's a highly irksome way to make a game longer.

Playing games I got for Christmas, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, and LBX Little Battlers Experience.
But for today, I'm amiibo training in Smash Bros.. I got a grand total of 15 new Smash amiibos for Christmas. So much that I won't personally train the amiibos as I've always done, I'll just have the amiibos bash each other while I'm doing computer stuff.

For all my championing of complete artistic freedom I am hoping for something falling a little short of let's say Mortal Kombat Fatalities. I wouldn't worry about that. I highly doubt we'd go anywhere near the level of gore in modern Mortal Kombat games. (And, this is a bit off-topic, but I feel the current creators of MK have a completely different view of the fatalities then past creators did. In the past there was frequently a goofy element to the fatalities, like uppercutting three heads off of someone, or Sektor having a human compactor hidden in his chest. MK9 and MKX have genuinely horrific fatalities.) For Inti-Creates' games, I've really only played the four Mega Man Zero games and the two Mega Man ZX games. I recall that all enemies in those 6 games had a 'sliced in half' animation, even bosses. Provided it was a regular Z-Saber slash and not a charged Saber attack. (Though specific, plot relevant boss characters, like Harpuia, did not have those animations.) And ZX Advent had a new 'shot through' death animations for enemies and bosses (but again, plot relevant bosses excluded) if you finished them with a charge shot. Some various death animations for enemies depending upon what sort of attack you used to kill them in Bloodstained could be fun. A few various player death animations could be fun as well, though I hope they don't get gruesome with what can happen to Miriam.

I wouldn't recommend making a hostile gesture at someone like that. It can get you killed.
I've never had business with road ragers, though I've had countless occasions where I'm obeying the speed limit, but the speed limit is apparently 30 MPH too slow for the people behind me. Also, 18-wheelers have a tendency to be road bullies. Been a fair few moments where one of those vehicles were pretty much riding my bumper, and were pretty clearly trying to frighten me into the other lane.

I feel that my stance on nudity is irrelevant.
My belief is, seeing as IGA is the creator, he should have the freedom to create the product he has set out to make, and not have censors get in the way of what he's trying to create.

It's funny to see that the Direct seems to have generated more un-hype then hype.
I guess I understand where people are coming from when complaining about the amount of FE characters there are. (I think that with Corrin added, it's the second most represented franchise in Smash.) But at the very least, Corrin isn't a clone like Lucina and Roy are. Honestly, in the next Smash game, I'd vote we keep Marth, Ike, Robin, and Corrin, but drop the two clone FE characters.
To be honest, Roy's claim to fame is entirely due to him being in Melee. His FE game is typically regarded as one of the worst entries in the series, and his overall character is flat and cookie cutter. The only thing that makes him stand out amongst other FE protagonists is that he actually understands how politics work. It doesn't help that he's one of the worst FE Lords, game stat-wise.

I'm very excited for Corrin. He'll be the last DLC character I'll be buying. Also plan to get his amiibo as well.
During the lead up to Fire Emblem Fates, I was eagle-eyed enough to notice that they eventually updated the boxart to have the amiibo icon. I was all ready to hunt down amiibos for Corrin and the Nohr and Hoshido royal siblings, but it turned out that FE:F only has functionality with the Smash FE amiibos. Dang.
Just hope that his amiibo is released closer to his Smash release then it was for Mewtwo. (Mewtwo came out in April, we had to wait until November to get his amiibo.)
Also, been playing Cloud. R.O.B. may have some competition on the subject of who is my main main now. Though I do wish they had gotten Steve Burton to voice Cloud, he just continues with his Japanese voice clips in the English Smash.

It was brought to my attention on a different forum that Cloud has been released now.
I just finished the buying process, and he and the Midgar stage are downloading for me now.
eShop is moving a bit sluggishly for me, probably due to high traffic, but at least I can navigate it.

Weren't there also people who wanted Kamiya himself to be a character in the game?
I also recall that shortly after Smash 4 was announced, there was a little fuss over a petition to get Reggie into the game.
Though I believe Sakurai has a 'the character must have originated as a video game character' rule. Though R.O.B. is a sorta violation of that rule.

Basic human empathy kicks in and I'm happy for the people who are happy that Bayonetta got in, I guess. But for me, she's un-hype. So, she and Lucas will be the two DLC characters I don't buy.
Corrin and Cloud at least look real fun to play.
Cloud will be released on the eShop "later today", but he's not up just yet. I'll check back around 8 or 9 PM. Hopefully by then some of the crowd furiously checking and rechecking the eShop for him will have thinned out a little.
