Love Shadow Hearts, and Yuri always cracks me up when he gets all pervy in the game. You can even win Alices black silk panties from the guy at the London Fight Pit (never gotten that item myself, you need a certain percentage of all the monsters in the game beaten and I missed an area)
Still disappointed that the series got traded to another company though, always bugs me when games get handed off, since they always seem to lose something of their character when that happens. Haven't bought New World and haven't planned to since it seems ot have nothing in common with the first two (that I've heard of)
Anyways, the idea of Naruto and the Fourth being Harmonixers is interesting and certainly something I've never heard of (or thought of, though I love Anime/Game crossovers and fusions) The idea that the Fourth tried fusing with the Kyuubi and got overwhelmed like Yuri did the first time with the Seraphic Radiance makes alot of sense. Perhaps some of his more remarkable and uncopyable techniques were actually the results of fusions, only he had such control that he gained the monster abilities without changing form. I'd be first in line to read this if you wrote it.
My favorite example of pervy Yuri is my signature right now, if I could figure out how Yuri, Alice, or both would be my Sig pic.
It was also funny when you hand over the dirty magazine over to Roger and their dirty little dialogue there. Or in Covenant when Anastatia gets pissed at Yuri for trying to corrupt Kurando to the pervy side.
As for New World, it's not a direct sequal like Covenant was, but it does have some tie ins to the original. The Peach bat is back as Hilda, like Joachim was brought into covenant after his apperance as the Gold bat in the original. The big guy Lenny from Sapientes Gladio has a support role in the game. Roger is back and so is the Emigre Manuscript. Fusion is in the game, but not in the form of a Harmonxier like it was in the past. Overall it's still a good game just not absolutely fucking awesome likethe first two were.
I think I'll run with this idea and post it in Naruto fanfiction section soon, for now though which game did you like better Shadow Hearts or Shadow Hearts Covenant?
I prefered the first I liked the characters more and the ending to covenant had me feeling a bit green and wanting to vomit a bit. I also disliked it taking place down the bad ending of the original. However i absolutly loved the back story on the greater demons that covenant brought. And bringing Kato back and the convoluted plot there was grabbing and IMHO kicked ass.
