What have you been playing lately?
I've been extremely obsessed with Final fantasy 14 since about 2020, but whenever I can drag myself away from my computer I've also been enjoying Shin megami tensei V as of late. I'd always been interested in the series and I decided to just jump right in now that it's conveniently on switch and MC is my preferred type of boy.

I would recommend watching one of the fan made Days movie edits with gameplay from the DS game edited in because the movie they give you cuts out a lot of context and gives you, at best, a wiki summary that trims all of the Disney. You'll get the basics of the story enough to understand why what happened, happened.

If you want to try playing it, there's an HD emulated version that fixes all the fucked up sprites. It is not a good looking game on large screens. Another of Nomura's gimmick games that he intended to be played on the way to work or in short play sessions so playing it completely through is extremely hit or miss. Not trying to put you off, it's more or less to soften the blow as many fans didn't exactly enjoy its format. Personally, I got halfway in before dropping it, but it has its charms.

I wish male miis could get together on Tomodachi Life on the 3ds. I started a new island but knowing there won't be any crazy BL happening is kind of a let down.

It's kinda funny how despite having mixed feelings on gen 9 pokemon I still find myself defending it when I come across people who pretend like new pokemon are mostly bad. Sure I think some of the newer designs are abominations but there's pokemon in the original 151 that I also find abominations and in the more recent games they've done some interesting things when translating real animal traits and biology into this modern fantasy setting.

There are newer Pokemon creatures and characters I like, but I just had to accept that I haven't really enjoyed a game past Gen III and the series especially really struggled to jump to 3D. Haven't bought any since SWSH even though I still consider myself a fan. It's just a fun world I want to keep up with.

That's valid. I do think pokemon lost something when the series moved away from 2D sprites even if I can't really articulate what.

Feels bad when I like certain pokemon cause they're pretty and/or cute like Gardevoir and Lopunny but it's the pokemon that are now associated with coomer men. I can relate to whomever liked Ankha animal crossing before that one animation went viral.

I feel that way about Braixen, though Gard and Lop have always been a bit too "girly" for my tastes.

What's funny is I think the newer gens are trying to capture the same appeal for a female market with Pokemon like Intellion but it just doesn't have nearly the same success. I guess the female furry/kemo market isn't there. Lol, it's fine though they are succeeding with the humans.

I loved Gardevoir back when I was like 13 and still innocent to the world and thought it was one of the prettiest pokemons ever, furries absolutely ruined it for me and I'll never forgive them for it.

Finally on KHII! I was not expecting a second game after Chain of Memories but I'm glad Reverse/Rebirth was so short since I don't know how many more card shenanigans I could take.

In the opening of KHII at the moment, on the 5th day of what I assume is a week-long prologue. Not exactly sure what's going on with Roxas if he's like a parallel world version of Sora or a memory given life but I'll be curious to see how long you actually get to play as him.

I am currently obsessed with 911 Operator. It's an emergency services dispatch simulator - and one of the most relaxing games ever. Feels like watching the city lights late at night (or maybe it's just my autism speaking).
Can't recommend it enough, especially if you use headphones. There is a sequel, and I'm going to play it next.

I actually started a new playthrough of monster girl quest after thinking about it again recently. I originally played it many years ago and never finished it so this time I'm intending to finish it. Like I mentioned in that other thread, I'm not really interested in hetero anymore unless the guy is some degree of weak and submissive. While BL is my main interest I do like it when a guy is being bullied and dominated by a woman. I remember the writing being pretty decent for a porn game but I had forgotten how much of Alice's dialogue is just some variation of "I want food" or "You're stupid, Luka."

Finally decided to force myself to play through Fire Emblem Engage after dropping it mid-way last time.

The combat is actually pretty fun in a flipped way (very player-turn focused), but everything about the designs makes me want to turn the sword on myself.

At least Ike and Soren are back. I'm surprised Nintendo acknowledged both of them outside of FE Heroes stuff.

I droppped it around chapter 16 and nothing can convince me to pick it back up. In the first place the only reason I even bother to clear FE maps is to know what happens next and advance the story of my favourite units. If I don't care then I'm not having fun. Also I might have been filtered by the mechanics, I don't like Emblems at all. I'd sooner replay Tellius with animations on.

The funny thing is, I actually like the Engage(ed) designs too. Just not for this series …

The actual ring mechanics is kinda fun as a thought, but it takes away too much from the core of the series imo, and like you said– the characters and story aren't good.

I think Diamant is the best of the lot, and he does basically nothing after being recruited.

Yeah while probably not suitable for FE I suspect a good story could have carried those designs. In a vaccuum they're not bad, just a bit hit and miss. Not the artist's fault though, it's absolutely a direction issue.
And yeah Diamant is pretty much just vibes. I still think they asked for a mix of Sylvain and boarmitri then slapped that design onto a main Lord. Lazy shit.
But what I'm really mad about is that they had a great opportunity to have characters from past games talk shit out and befriend other characters from different games in a game that isn't a gatcha for people with adhd and they just don't give a fuck. This is like, the one thing I find fun about crossovers and they don't even exploit it. What is the point, why do they even bother

You'd think they would want a celebration of everything that makes the series what it is, but nah. Take a few flavor lines from each emblem character, and enjoy them being backseated to colgate-kun.
On the bright side, this has inspired me to go back to FE9 after I finish my run. It has some of my favorite ships in the series, and and Tellius' lore is much more fun.

 No.9616

>>9610
They mistook celebrating FE with filling up an average, generic mold of all FE sadly. Sure, let's blend all the best dishes in the word and hope something good comes out instead of a complete mess.
I still feel a little too burnt out to play Tellius again personally. I played it 10 years ago and there are maps there I restarted 30 times. Then again the game was also hard as fuck because I missed a few key recruitments (Marcia…) Maybe some day though.

I skipped out on the game cause I've seen comparisons that make it seem like the localisation for supports was borderline fanfic level and I heard negative opinions on the writing in general but even so it's unfortunate to hear the crossover aspect was handled so badly.

The localization is the least of your worries playing this game, believe me. Localization fixes won't fix the protagonist's mother delivering a 10 minutes speech while she's dying on the floor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucgxlzd8buk , or the supports being complete horse shit not even worth a single comma in the worst 3H route.

Whole game is like that, it's just getting your ass kicked by dumb bosses and then awkwardly stumbling around. Final boss is pretty neat though with the disappearing floor, vid related. I'm playing them because I wanted to play the one on Switch, but I hope it switches to more Zelda-like gameplay later I just never felt like I got used to the movement and it was hard to gauge when I'd take damage trying to attack an enemy.

I want to play kiseki because of all the gayship fanart I see but I am so intimidated by its length. In other long-running JRPGs like FF or DQ all the games tell a different story so I can pick whichever interests me most and play it but having to go through ten 40-hour long games of one continuing story is so daunting…..
