Never played JFG. Defo giving that a go.

No. The DLC does though!

Credits rolled.

Stock format tonight at 8pm.

Holy crap! Mallow might be the big winner here with the chain mechanic! Thanks to him, Mario just did over 500 damage to a mid game boss! Yeah, I two shotted it. May have to rethink the Mario, Bowser, Peach setup...

Right, @BowserBasher. 8pm good for you? Gonna mention @S.C.G in case he wants to spectate.

I have three stars now.

When I first got there, he wasn't there, so I got really worried that chest was still missable forever. Still did it the old fashioned way.

Probably wanna use Peach near the endgame though. Especially with the item rework this game has.

The music gets more bombastic as you chain action commands. That's very cool! Geno's still gonna be overrated and resource wasteful, though. (Especially with Mario's Jump working like it does in the original game) Mallow's more useful.

OK, so I probably won't be able to make it on Thursday, so @Dcubed and @S.C.G should go ahead and have their duel after Mario Kart, as originally planned. Don't forget to get an image of the results. @BowserBasher and I will have to have ours on Friday.

@BowserBasher, I'm afraid it's looking likely that I won't be able to make it for Mario Kart on Thursday, so you'll have to host.

Oh, really? It took you more then one attempt, therefore, it didn't go as smoothly. I estimated your power precisely! Kudos though! It's not an easy fight even at a high level. I should know.

It won't.

I never would have guessed it was a Metroidvania style game. Gonna have to put that on my wishlist now.

Most of the time, I'm well haps when Random gives me Pichu. ...This was not one of those times.

So a hint of Xenoblade 3 as well. That's even better! Once I finish Digimon Survive, give Chrono Cross another chance, and Mario RPG, naturally. Then I'll likely move on to this.

Ah, so it's a Final Fantasy 5 Freelancer thing going on? Ta for the info. Getting to the end of my Switch backlog, so I'm eyeing this up.

Actually, this is as good an opportunity as ever. Unlike @Julius there, I have played a job-based RPG. You clearly wouldn't know, Mr. Imposter, being new here, don't worry, I'll drop that joke now but I looooooove job-based RPG's. Is Yakuza 7 a kind of Final Fantasy 3 deal, where the jobs are entirely seperate and have no real benefit if you level up a job and then use a different job? Or is it more like Bravely Default, where leveling up a job gets you passive benefits that you can equip and use on other jobs?

Hold up, hold up! I can't help but notice this, and a massively burning question is now going to keep me up at night if I don't act. You had a "strategy"? And it wasn't just "be 20 levels higher then expected"? I knew there was something fishy. You're an imposter!

To be fair, it's been a long time. I find it interesting that the final group photo shows every character except the non-Mario/DK ones. Clearly deliberate, I hope it's not a sign that they're gonna drop that idea in the next entry. I'd like to see more tracks set in other Ninty IP's.

It's a nice touch, but the standard credits did this as well.

It fluctuates and dips a lot more then the Gamecube version.

Arrowhead It's a board with loads of junctions. What!? You expect a more in-depth explanation? That's it! There really isn't anything more to this! I know those cone things look distinct, but they don't do anything! These will be the match-ups this week. @Glen-i VS @BowserBasher @Dcubed VS @S.C.G Dcubed should be free after Mario Kart on Thursday, so we'll likely play at 9pm then.
