Hi!

I love JRPGs with all of my being!

I talk about them here, as well as other Video Games and occasionally other bits of media, and probably repost lots of things I like!
Favorite RPG series that aren't Final Fantasy

Breath of Fire
SaGa
Atelier
Suikoden

I really wanted to include Chrono, but it has three games, one is a visual novel, and as much as I love Cross it also makes upset in equal measure.

Post 4 games that have captivated you-

Holy crap, only 4?!

Right then, there's a whole lot of choices on my end, but here are some of the big ones for me.

If you see this, quote this post with the last 4 games you played!

I've been in a very particular mood...

Weirdly, I like most things- just a lot of the specific choices were of some of the few things I don't like. I suspect most of these would be more filled out normally.

I don't care how 'classy' lobster or caviar is, I hate how it tastes.

My PlayStation nerd shows really hard here.

I'd argue that Ehrgeiz might deserve it but is still fun, and Koudelka is flawed but stands above its own shortcomings with some of the best character writing I've seen in any JRPG.

The other two are just stellar to me.

I mainly play video games, but truthfully I dabble in most forms of media to some degree...

That said, there's several that aren't selected I just didn't get far in. A lot of Anime bounces right off of me. The ones I enjoy, I love, but most of those are too old to be here.

Day 7: Favorite Multi-player or MMO

*takes a deep breath*

Did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes-

Really though, it might not feel like Final Fantasy to me, but it still feels really good.

Day 6: Best World Building

JRPGs are my favorite genre, this one isn't fair.

...Suikoden though, after careful consideration. No -Setting- in a game has enthralled me in the deeper history and political connections of the world quite like this series.

Eiyuden did not come close in that regard.

You know, I've heard a lot of arguments for and against modern Final Fantasy not being turn-based.

What I want to know is, with Square so in on Action RPGs, where the fuck is our Brave Fencer Musashi remaster?

Day 5: Game that Deserves a Remake

Romancing SaGa 3. This one is a bit of an oddity- it's easily my least favorite SaGa title, barring maybe the original SaGa 3, which I haven't finished and was made by different people anyway.

I feel like a Remake in the style RS2 got received might help.

Whoops missed a few days. Time to catch up

Day 4: Currently Playing

Mega Man Battle Network 2. I'm firmly more a fan of...almost any other part of the franchise, but this unhinged game was very fun until it wasn't.

This end game is suffering.

Day 3: Hardest Boss Fight

Atelier Superbosses take the cake. There's a lot of well designed, challenging boss fights out there.

The Superbosses in the Atelier Games are not that. Pictured image is my worst experience in that regard, despite being my favorite in the series.

Day 2: Most Hours in a Game

It's almost certainly Chrono Trigger for the SNES. I don't have an exact count but the number of times I've played it to completion before my 20s is in the dozens at least.

Not *as* insane as it sounds- it's a very short RPG.

Whoops forgot the Alt Text.

Day 1 is "Your First Video Game"

I would never recommend it now but seeing those characters move really was magical to me.
April 21, 2025 at 12:24 PM
Been seeing this going around, and thought I'd give it a go.

Day 1: Battle Arena Toshinden for the Playstation 1.

It was a mediocre fighting game, but the colorful characters captured my imagination and got me hooked. One of the first fully 3D fighters, it definitely set the stage for better games
