The last few hours of Remake are a pretty big diversion from where the PS1 game goes at that part, I really didn't like having the rug pulled from under me to be honest, which at the time put me in a minority opinion, but once that cat was out of the bag it made me a lot more fine with what it was doing, I still wish it didn't do that but it is what it is.
Rebirth is one of the best RPGs on the PS5 but it is VERY big, much bigger than Remake. People wondered if they were going to make the open world simplified or menu based or something and it turns out, they were just going to give us all of it (well, Disk 2 at least) and fill it with Yakuza levels of minigames. I think it's (mostly) GOOD content, more character development and stuff, but it definitely burned me out. I really hope Part 3 scales things back a bit.
I didn't realise characters could die (like, properly die) in Fire Emblem games, and I lost my first mage on his second move. Literally 45 seconds after the tutorial, and before he'd fired a shot.
I also saved over the file, so he gone. Still, at least he was…
*googles…
The best mage in the game. Cool.
Best mage but not the only usable one, if it helps
GBA Fire Emblem can also swing massively both ways, Sacred Stones is probably the easiest game in the series, it has infinite grinding, The Binding Blade (Roy's game) is really hard in my opinion, has no grinding and Roy is one of the weakest Lords in the series.
Then you have the SNES games 😅
I've played it twice and am considering a third time through NSO, this is probably a good FE game to attempt an Ironman run, with it having a pretty big cast. Beating it three times before I've started Radiant Dawn (The direct sequel to PoR on Wii) would feel a bit bad though…
Speaking of Dragon Quest…I have continued playing and 16 hours into DQ6 I have unlocked that game's job system, 16 hours! That's not me being slow, maybe a few hours but no, for the most part they really did that. I hear DQ7, at least on PS1 did something similar with Monster Catching and some people not realising it was even a thing, these are substantial games when they want to be.
While I'm here, I'm convinced the Android ports of 4, 5 and 6 are at least slightly better than their DS versions, these games really suit the form factor of playing one handed in portrait mode a lot, although you'll have to like the touchscreen analog, which I do. Makes you wonder why the Android port of 8 was such a mess, that would have been an absolutely insane game to have on your phone.
Absolutely hooked on a Thai GL drama right now called ClaireBell, a romance drama set in a girl's prison. What really gets me the most is that the production values are way higher than I thought for a somewhat minimalist setup but the way the show had more going to it, corrupt warden, his nepo baby son actually trying to do right by the inmates unlike his dad, the side characters to the two girls having their own arc, a lot of moving parts.
But I think the the main performances of the two leads really sell it for me, Bell's actress portrays the innocent high school graduate who gets framed for handling Drugs well enough, she has the 'minding my own business' expression down and she's basically the heart of the show, but it's Claire's actress in portraying the 'rabid dog' and Top Dog of the Prison that absolutely steals the show, how she's both absolutely volatile and also clearly has a caring heart for those she cares about.
It does move a little too fast at times, even at hourly episodes it still has only 8 episodes to tell the story, but it's way less shallow than I was expecting. Relationship between the leads moves a bit fast too but tbh, I get it.
I doubt this is or will be anyone's cup of tea in here but I was just so surprised at how well this grabbed me I had to get it out there, the Sektori of Thai GL dramas
