I remember trying the DS ver. years ago & it didn't click back then. If I've learned anything, it's the games I initially bounce off of that end up leaving a stronger impression in the future. I'm glad I took the time to try again with SNES ver.👍

I recently finished Chrono Trigger. Definitely feels like one of those "required reading" games for people interested in RPGs & mechanical lineage in Final Fantasy games that came after it.

Thinking again about this illustration near Atelier Judie's end. Great capstone to hours of wandering & lighthearted synthesis. Contrasts everything in the game from Judie's expression to the dampened lighting. She wants to get this last creation right more than anything else. Insanely memorable.

The new Resleriana Red Alchemist patch also cranks things up a notch; Legendary difficulty (beyond Very Hard & Charismatic), nerfs critical damage max cap & changes how Item Mix damage is calculated. I guess they didn't want ice cream crit stacks & Sun Ring + Moon Ring item mix to run amok anymore.

New Atelier Red Alchemist paid dlc dropped and let me tell you, for that price Resna & Valeria better kiss and have a great boss battle to close out their story chapters.

Tales of Zestiria has very important points of interest, such as Crabs on the Bridge.

Tekken's legacy skill has its pros & cons, but I think the way it's reflected in Kazuya's movelist is nice characterization for him. Doesn't ignore the changing landscape, but keeps a firm grip on what he does well, sometimes to a fault. A boomer painfully informed by his vicious family cycle.

I got hit by a back turned flip combo and you know what, that's pretty funny. I had no idea he could do that in this game

Today I learned that T8's quick ki charge counter hits can still be done in training mode. Hold touchpad / view button to apply a counter hit state to the training dummy without setting it in the menu every time. 👍

The game may promote active play from both sides, but it's still fun to play more patiently as well.

Tales remasters can't seem to escape audio balancing issues, though that's usually for newly recorded lines...
I heard that the stick sensitivity is also a problem. I would guess that applies to both left stick movement and shortcut artes?

Running past a cyclopz and friend asks if I don't want a new sword drop from them. The pause that ensued got me real good 😂

When the camera works, it works. But the game's insistence on incorporating nearby world geometry and props really has it out for the camera. It's ambitious to use overworld as the canvas for restricted battle areas, but I understand why this wouldn't be iterated on in the future.

I said this game has a stronger 2-player focus, but that's mostly because of armatization; It's uniform for both players, and doesn't lock players out of metered mechanics even if they don't use it. It iterates on Xillias' link system, which tied party members to a player to fill an overlimit gauge.

The one thing that arguably makes most players' experience worse in combat is the camera though. It only follows player 1's target and is only concerned with keeping that in frame. Battle areas also aren't separated from overworld / dungeons, which causes blinding, claustrophobic views like this:
