Death's door is cool. I have a very long weekend this week and I hope I can find time between drinking and visiting Granada to finish it
 
So, uh, Ozzie
I just finished Erased, and honestly, I do have to agree with some folks in the prior ST that said that the latter half/third didn't hold up compared to the first half/two thirds of the show.
I'm actually rather unsatisfied with how things turned out, lol.
I think it was oese0 who mentioned being let down after ep. 10 and following? I think I largely agree, especially ep. 11 and 12 were not what I would've liked to see at all. Especially ep. 12/the ending, which left me hanging a bit there. Maybe it's just that up to ep. 6 it was phenomenal, truly, but the rest was "just" pretty good comparatively.

Nonetheless a very good show overall! I'd easily recommend it. It's just too bad they couldn't really stick the landing for me.

Feel free to write me about what you didn't like about the show, because I sure as hell have my own issues with the overall story now, haha.

I have a weirdly doubt on why in the world The Sims is not yet on Nintendo Switch?
What is blocking EA from bring the game to the platform?!

Dunno if any insider can provide any information regarding but... lol

Maybe it's due to the fact that they gave up on making unique The Sims games for consoles and the console ports of The Sims 4 are straight up ports of the PC version. Which is lame and awesome at the same time.

You mean the company who states their customer prefer games on different platforms and only release games for the Switch due to pressure from investors/stakeholders?

To be fair... half the end of the anime is completely different from the manga lol.

To put it bluntly I genuinely believe EA wants Nintendo out of the console business so that they have a larger audience on fewer platforms.

In my experience, the PS4 version runs poorly and the controls are a clusterfuck. I couldn't get a single house built.

look, I have to come clean, I cheated via fortuitous timing

My work / parents* recently pitched in for a new laptop – my first since 2009 – and it finally showed up. That also meant, begrudgingly, new Adobe CC licenses for work. I've gone from my ever-crashing but long-paid-for Adobe CS5 suite to fresh new state-of-the-art software! ...that has very few useful new features, a serious memory leak, and charges rent. but golly fuckin' gee does it feel smooth!

all the old 3D rendering tools are broken or do weird shit now, so the thread logo took a lot of love and faking it

A delayed game is eventually good... etc .. etc..

2022 is the year of strategy games. Triangle Strategy, Advance Wars, Mario + Rabbids 2, Digimon Survive and possible Fire Emblem, if I'm not forgetting anything.

and the year of open world games, Elden ring, botw2, dyling light 2, starfield, etc..

There is also the metal slug tactics game. And rumors of potential FF Tactics and Tactics Ogre games I remember seeing. Could be insane for strategy fans.

Anybody interested in helping me out by voting in a poll of what jrpg in my backlog I should work on next?

Also a rumored Final Fantasy Tactics remaster could happen in 2022.

Tbf Midnight Suns looks much more like a standard turn based system than a tactical one, since movement doesn't play as big of a role

Well, not on Switch. Kingdom Come is probably only open world game slated for release on Switch in 2022.

But all of these turn based tactics game, every single of them are coming to Switch!

I've started Final Fantasy VII, my first foray into the series. So how about those PS1 graphics, eh? The textures are actually okay given they were made for CRTs. It's the low poly Animal Crossing characters in front of them that makes it look weird.

Yeah, you hear/read statements like that all too often, sadly. But I've got to say, as someone who's not really into reading manga anymore, that these ... hm, relativizations of anime in the context of their source material (be it manga or novels) don't really satisfy me anymore. I have to assume that making an anime adaptation of a manga is really hard given the different circumstances (length of the show, animation and VA work; budget generally), but I don't really want them to make a half-cooked imitation of the manga's ending to begin with, if production, time and/or money are an issue. I'd rather they'd do something with it that fits the format and presentation of the anime up to that point and wraps things up in a satisfying way in and of itself, even if it doesn't entirely align with what the manga/source was doing.

That being said, I'm pretty ignorant on the whole process of manga/novel adaptations, so I can only assume that there are valid reasons for why they handled things the way they did, and I ultimately don't feel too comfortable being too hard on the studio or the show itself. I'm a bit bummed out by the fact that it often feels like anime adaptations still get the short end of the stick more often than not, though. And it's especially underwhelming in the context of a show as good as parts of Erased were.

FF VII wasn't a looker even when it came out.

It's not very good either.

If my memory serves correctly, the manga was actually still ongoing when the anime started. The manga was at the final arc but the anime just decided to take it's own ending since I assume they didn't want to end on a cliffhanger.
