Watched through the invitational footage and while it looks neat my hype certainly cooled down a notch. A handfull playable characters, unbalanced supports and most likely hella expensive. Prolly gonna wait for a used copy unless they increase the available roster without forcing it upon the customer through DLC.

Looks fun, and great to finally have confirmation that it's getting localized. I'll definitely have to pick this up, and switch between it and Smash 4 when I play multiplayer.

Let's not forget the 'amiibo Support' but hopefully it's just like in Smash.

Hopefully it's not like in smash. Hopefully its like in Mario Kart 8.
If that was the case then Nintendo would've made the suits available in MK8/YWW. So, yeah, don't get too excited about this physical DLC bs.

Amiiqo is the only way to unlock them all without spending ridiculous amounts of money.

Or you are being like a regular person and don't give a sh*t about optional cosmetics.
Hiding the best fighter AI behind a paywall on the other hand is something different.

if they add a Magikarp to the roster I'd be shitting my pants laughing I mean the only two moves Magikarp knows in the main games (til it evovles) are splash and tackle

I took Amiibos into consideration but unlocking characters aside which would be highly unlikely to begin with, i didn't see anything major. The smash route is the most valible option and as such pretty worthless.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
