TONFA'S PROFILE

I just sort of think that it's sad that Japan just cannot let go of the whole sissy aesthetic to the point where the main character in NIER, the exact same game by by S-E, are pretty much two different people in the Japanese and Western versions.

There's a reason for that besides aesthetics. Spoiler zone.

For the record Craze is cool for being honest about this!

If I had found it while mechanics diving in scripts I probably would have gone all WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING CRAZE

On-topic: games which have eclectic ways of vaporizing the difficulty are one of my pet peeves. Though, I realize that getting rid of all such ways requires an amount of testing that RPG Maker games cannot afford to undertake.

Would you consider an optional character that joins the party with a blatant disclaimer that they are superior to everyone else and basically an Easy Mode/gameplay skip option to lower the difficulty of the game? Just curious.

Okay, might as well expand a little. An objective downside to lying in skill descriptions is obfuscating the player's ability to make an intelligent decision. By the information given by the game, the 4MP and 25MP skill do the same damage...except they don't, actually. And if the player doesn't know the 25MP skill does more damage, they just might dismiss it as a viable tool. Similar principle applies for status rates that the game tells the player to be lower than they actually are - the player will not use the seemingly unreliable status move when it is in fact more reliable than the game lets on and could potentially make the player's experience a lot easier.

I cannot tell whether you're serious or not.

In case you are, I am seriously put off by it. Game straight up lying to me is Not Cool.
