Persona is so good, fond memories of playing 3 and 4 are coming back. I hope Kasumi is playable at some point! Makoto's persona is so cool 
Royal is a treat if this is your first time through P5. Royal expanded the game a LOT.I finished 3rd temple in zelda and I had to take a break for something that really interests me. I sunk over 30hrs in a week in persona 5, while I couldn't do the same for zelda in two months
Yeah, It's my first time with p5. I hate those atlus shady tactics with rereleases. Im afraid they'll do the same with Metaphor, so I'll probably won't get it day one.Royal is a treat if this is your first time through P5. Royal expanded the game a LOT.
Speaking of, I hit 105 hours on the dot... and I still haven't started the next dungeon. Eep.
I personally think you’ll get burned out. I love Final Fantasy and it took me a few years to play them all. The only super important one to clear is VII. Maybe try to knock out the games lower than it and maybe XVI? That seems reasonable.
Very possible! I can probably knock out 3, 4, and 5 in the next month and then see how I'm feeling at that point. 8 and beyond are pretty low on my priority list from what I've played of them, in any case. Very excited about 5, though -- it's the one I know least about, other than its supposed tone and general system(s) appealing to me.
Dirty secret about Mystic Quest: it’s mostly the same team that did Final Fantasy Legend 3. Which makes it a spiritual successor to a SaGa game that also wasn’t really like a SaGa game.
I know that section gets some flak sometimes, but I honestly love it, especially the entire last bit before the (used to be) final boss. I really think things come together extremely well and that has to be one of my favorite game climaxes of all time.
I knew I triggered the third semester properly when fucking Akechi popped out of nowhere on Christmas Eve lol

38 hours in according to the in game clock and having a blast. Still gotta play Octopath 2 haha. Hoping to squeeze it in November or December if I can.
I still really want to play Gungnir. I finished Yggdra Union but KitN made me feel so stupid, even as an SRPG veteran- I felt like I barely understood any of the stats or mechanics that were going on!
I did yeah, the music is amazing. I never did finish it though. I do plan on getting it sometime this year and want to finish it this time.
Gungnir is actually pretty close to Tactics Ogre in terms of feel, it's a drab and gloomy atmosphere is definitely evocative of Ogre Saga and the mechanics are very much your standard grid based SRPG, so you needn't worry it will be like KitN, or anything. The game is hard though. Or at least I found it hard at the time, maybe I'd be better at it now? Hopefully it also gets re-released, would be great for more people to get to play it since it's a great SRPG.

Yes, one of the best tracks! Also this version allows you to use the original (GBA) or the newer one ( I guess the psp/mobile)
IT's really good and a different way to play SRPG. The fact you can only attack union once per turn, that you have to consider your cards and movement and how to manage morale, makes FE looks like "my first srpg"
/s.
Glad to hear you're enjoying Reverie that much ;-)
New informations and gameplay for Rear Sekai and a around 4 minute gameplay trailer
Bushiroad Games shares first trailer for Rear Sekai | RPG Site
This action RPG looks like isekai + Rune Factory.
I've been checking the NISA twitter page and I have not seen an update to the switch version lol.
Yes. I expected it sadly. Patches take time for certification but even with the issues fixed, the port is just disappointing. Crossing all my fingers that they get PH3 to handle Kuro no Kiseki or else it might be the first Falcom release I skip physically on Switch.

I have! I just get too comfortable with the lurker life and end up posting way less than I could ever manage to in a busier "Octopath period". Hope you're doing well too!
I actually thought this was very thematic and what makes the game having a better pacing and more unique. Unlike the other games they clearly state you really don't have time to do anything else and need to find the godesses / reach the top ASAP, and the music, action an floor design complement this. It's really why it's my favorite Ys game, it goes to the point and with only one sidequest, you can really feel the tension of the situation
Oh it does compliment the story. I just don't find dungeon crawling always all the time to be as enticing as what the other titles in the series gave me. I also don't think they managed to spice up the various environments quuuuite as much as they should have. The music is not jumping out at me, and the upgrade system as well, feels like 75% of the stuff on it is useless or... boring? Though I guess the Ys titles have more of an arcade-y feel to them so you can't really expect massive gameplay shake-ups from their RPG elements. I'm focusing on the negatives but the game as a whole is enjoyable no doubt.
I bought this immediately once the eShop updated and it couldn't have happened at a better time. When this game appeared on the upcoming section I decided to power up the Vita for old time's sake and check out my YU save but once I clicked on the icon the system froze up and my save was corrupted. Damn shitty Vita memory cards, at least most of my favorite PSP/Vita games are being ported to the Switch.Starway to (Dept.) Heaven. Kiyzuki art in the big screen is glorious
I remember the first time I saw Riviera in the pages of Nintendo Power; it was tiny preview with a single screenshot the size of a postage stamp, but I was instantly captivated and bought the game as soon as I found a copy. Now that YU is out my hopes that Riviera (and KitN) will also be released here have risen greatly.Just wanna say everybody should play Riviera. Ein lives in my head rent free as one of the most lovable RPG characters ever
I expect Gungnir to be next on the remaster list now that YU and KitN are out and Riviera is coming soon; then once that's done maybe we'll get a new entry in the series.
Personally I think the DS version is easier to play due to the touchscreen and stylus, but the PSP version is the definitive version (or was) with all the little improvements and extras.
Did you ever play Oath in Felghana? That was a good blend of what you would like I think.
Yep, earlier this year actually. I'm slowly but steadily making my way through the series game by game.
. Also fuck that snowy mountain, dungeon and boss.
As long as you are having fun, that's all that matters. I've played Ys 8 so many times across difficulty modes and platforms, but I played it first on easy because I heard the game was too long and I didn't have much time back then.Yep, earlier this year actually. I'm slowly but steadily making my way through the series game by game.
I enjoyed Felghana, some things more than VI, others less. I'm glad I played it on easy though
While I'm definitely more of a casual RPG player (story and ambiance over systems), truthfully, I must admit that these solo Adol-era Ys games sort of live and die by their dungeon design, though alas I can't confidently rank them against each other on that front, I'd have to play them back to back to even consider doing that, and even then I don't know if I'd be capable of digging into the nuances of that conversation.
P3P is not the worse one, that’s vanilla. In fact FeMC is considered the best way to play the game(and isn’t on the remake). There is the tradeoff of it being more direct with less menu fluff and less anime cutscenes but it’s a fine way to play. Basically the game has 2 opposing standards(P vs FES) but neither was the worst… and remake seems to be adding a third choice instead of replacing either.
P3P is perfectly enjoyable on its own terms. It's how I played it.
Same here, despite owning P3FES and P4 when I was borrowing my cousins PS2 it was P3P that became my first foray into modern Persona. Sure it lacked the anime cutscenes and character model skits of the home console versions but I really enjoyed the more streamlined focus. These days P4G and P5R have succeeded in bringing the entire Persona experience to handhelds, but P3P still holds its ground with the FeMC route and the unique way it was developed for handhelds.
I would say go for it as long as you remember that the first Persona (and the Persona 2 duology) are very different from the modern Persona. They lack the social elements modern titles have and instead are pure dungeon crawlers. The combat also requires you to take positioning into account since most attacks will only strike certain areas on the battlefield. I think the game is still worth a playthrough though just to see how Persona first got started.
Play Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, it’s a sequel to both 3 and 4!
Ah yes, accomplishing something out of pure spite; I know that feeling well.And now with just one year left, philosopher stone is done!
I like the descriptions are based on Marie's experience and not what the item is actually about. Liek the Philosopher's stone entry in the item guide is "the grand goal of alchemy.... or something like that"
