Im not consistent with anything i like except videogames. Expect video game posts. And probably some screaming my opinion into the void.
Wait, what did i even buy that shovel for?

At least it was cute. Actually very cute. Personally i didnt even encounter roadblocks except that one miniboss, so my playthrough was relatively smooth. But i imagine with some bad luck this turns into one hell of an experience.

Definitely a game.
Why TADA. It would have been fine if it was just an undercooked RPG System like in 4.1 and 4.2 (vibes are similar anyway). Instead you have this piece of something. Im sorry for whoever tried to get all the Kurupiston Lore without losing their mind.

I thought i played the game, but the game played me instead

I have now lost this fight 15 times straight with minimal options to prepare and no way of avoiding it.
January 22, 2026 at 10:55 AM
I used the skip button to roll through a battle that i already lost 4 times, just to see it skip the conversation afterwards.

So i quickly closed the game and reloaded

just to see that the game autosaved AFTER the dialogue i missed

Im starting to get pissed off

Bill Gates freezes more the higher he upgrades

And gave alex Kenny Omegas signature finisher. I was screaming so loud when i saw this. I dont wanna play sf6, but this trailer pushes so many of my buttons

Ok
this battle system is atrocious, holy moly
watching a 5 minute newgrounds game autoplay into game over is not very exciting

I think ive finished 5 or 6 FE games now and Hard Mode scares me to this day. I already have to reset a fair amount on normal

When moot recommends account for alicesoft trivia and its the manager of a vtuber group you follow. The world is small.

And maybe how they handled the success. The EN translator put some more info into the alice mansion section and they mentioned lifetime sales of around 100.000. Which seem absolutely insane for a japanese only PC eroge in the mid 90s.

Are there interviews from that time? Now that i think about it, i havent looked into the dev commentary as this time around you gotta visit alicesoft ingame which takes city actions away from your turns. But the makings of kichikuou seem really interesting. When it shifted from 5, what happens after
January 12, 2026 at 7:30 PM
Next up is 5D....guess i gotta stock up on alcohol for that one
January 12, 2026 at 7:28 PM
Im particularly intrigued by 6 for more focus on zeth as it seemed like the most original concept for the continents nations and 7 for its gameplay. Kichikuou seems like a taste for whats to come and ive thoroughly enjoyed its gameplay component for what it was.
January 12, 2026 at 7:27 PM
I could go for so much alternative stuff, but ill let it rest for now. Maybe i will go back to it sometime in the future to try out something different (i wanna see the mech fight between freak and redeye) but first i wanna continue through the other games.

With mostly textboxes and portraits, the OST is doing the heavy lifting here. Every empire got its on theme with 3 different versions that are used for different situations when their respective nation comes up in scenes. The big hitters for me are Slaver ~Pathos~ and Ontology ~Wailing~.

Be it the empire of helman, being solely upheld by its military might since its lands are barren, with corrution spreading through every part of its system. Zeth with its slave system thats integral to its function, some great concepts all around...and japan with the sengoku jidai...

Alot of drama this time around. So, so, so many conflicts in so many parts of the world are getting introduced, most of the time from one second to the next and within just a few textboxes. But those conflicts and drama gives these characters the memorability that they desperately need.
January 12, 2026 at 7:18 PM
The portraits are the main thing you see in conversations thoughout. Sadly no different facial expressions, the amount of characters probably didnt allow for it, but they are all great to look at.
My favourite design of rance to date. I will miss this artstyle...
