Ryza is great!! I only played the first one though so take all of this with a grain of salt.
The combat is not at all like Genshin or BOTW. It's "real time" but actually turn based. Characters will have basic attacks/skills/items, think Pokemon style combat, but each time they use one it starts a real-time cooldown before they can attack again.
The combat is actually quite simple IMO and not too engaging. But that's good, because what it's meant to be is a stat check for the items you make.
Speaking of which, the main gemaplay loop isn't like your average RPG. You go out and gather resources, then you make items with them, then you go defeat enemies with those items to get their drops or unlock areas with better resources, rinse and repeat. But the most fun part of that loop, and the one you'll spend the most time on, is the crafting aspect.
You know how in the anime Ryza uses the cauldron? That'll be 70% of your time spent in the game. The anime doesn't showcase it but the synthesis system is really complex, and very fun when you get into it. Though I personally prefer Atelier Sophie's over Atelier Ryza's haha.
If you're worried about leveling mechanics, grind, etc. - there are levels but they're largely irrelevant.
Even weirder is how some people(looking at you NCD) just focused on "haha dumb discord leaker" while conveniently ignoring the actual contents of the leaks.

Angela: I think I know what you mean. The determination to work for the good of others can be a dreadful and loathsome weapon. They're blinded by self-righteousness, and have no regards for their surroundings. They don't care what happens to others. They justify themselves for pressing forward pursuing their justice, crushing everything in their way...

Surprised it's not more tbh. As a PC gamer, can someone explain what benefits are there to buying physical games? The only one I can think of is saving storage space on your console, but the disadvantages paying extra for shipping/waiting for shipping outweigh that for me. Or is it just people who collect physical games or buy them as presents?

In case you haven't heard about it yet, VLC is both a media player and a video re-encoder in one app. Basically essential for Macs.
Homebrew is a terminal utility that allows you to download many apps that otherwise have difficult setup processes.
Speaking of things that can be installed through homebrew, Wineskin Winery is a tool that allows you to run Windows apps on a Mac. Very very janky at times and requires hours of googling and digging through stuff sometimes, but runs amazingly once you do that.
Ryujinx is a Nintendo Switch emulator available on Mac. Not too good for games like BoTW or ToTK, but runs basic visual novels just fine. Oh and if you don't have a Switch already be willing to do some sailing on the high seas.
Hey guys, So I know I’m being a little picky here but I’m looking for suggestions. I wanna watch some more shows that don’t, or barely use (looking at you Berserk with Puck), super deformed art style.

Check out stuff by studio orange, they make insanely good 3D animation. I can vouch for Land of the Lustrous personally, but heard good things about Trigun Stampede and Beastars as well.
I agree with you on Demon Slayer having a lot of these moments, but Mugen Train specifically is the worst example you could give. They're meant to be hints that it's happening inside Rengoku's dream.
Wikis don't really need too much SEO though. If there's one good wiki, chances are it'll pop up on the first page somewhere when you google "minecraft [game-specific term]". And from then on you know to use that wiki, and just go directly to their website instead of googling.
Terraria's wiki has been running independently of Famdom for a while now, so has Paradox's, Guild Wars 2's, etc etc.
Okay okay I know this isn't grammatically correct but hear me out here. I think it would be useful to have a way to say "despite the context of X", to complement "la" which means "in the context of X"....

Idk about Linux, but on Mac I can run most Windows games through Wine no problem. IIRC Linux has Proton, which is a better version of Wine that's built into Steam so you can launch Windows games directly from your native Linux Steam client. Unless you play a lot of AAA games I'd suggest giving it a go.
My instance has downvoting enabled, but I've learned that some other instances do not. Do the vote totals look different to users on different instances? It seems like some users on instances that don't allow downvoting are unaware that it's not the same lemmy-wide. It would be pretty confusing for them to see their vote go...
I respectfully disagree. Downvotes add a way of gauging the percent of people who support/don't support a comment. Let's say I'm asking for advice about which product to buy. With an upvotes-only system the upvote count is biased towards the earliest comment, whereas with an up/down vote system, the ratio helps you detect comments with heavy bias or blatantly wrong facts. So an upvote/downvote system makes it easier to tell the credibility of a comment, basically allowing you to indirectly gauge the opinion of the community rather than the one person who commented.
If I can still access all of that content from kbin or lemmy, what's the problem? I get their content, but they can't serve me ads, change kbin's feed algorithm, or have control over anything outside their one instance.
Yes, go Putin! Deliver those nuclear warheads to Ukraine just like you did to Belarus! Like, ship them in on a train or something and hand them over to the UAF! That'll show 'em!

Of course a platform in its infancy will have...
Despite the devs' behavior, Lemmy's Russia community actually seems pretty chill and pro-Ukraine. For example as of now the 3rd thread from the top is linking to a Western article about protesters being arrested in Russia. It's kinda hard to tell though because there's not much content in the community yet.
Sorry if this is a silly question but. Let's say I have an account on kbin, and kbin hasn't been federated with instance B yet. I would need to subscribe to a community from instance B and from that point on they would be federated right? But how would I even subscribe if kbin can't see any communities from instance B before they are federated?
Weird, it doesn't work for me for some reason, I have to manually go into the "subscribed" tab each time. Also my point about not being able to subscribe to entire instances still stands. For instance(heh) bookwormstory.social is an instance dedicated to discussing a specific book series and currently has like 5 communities, and I'd have no way of knowing when they started a new community unless I manually checked.
