I beat it too.

I have no idea why, it's janky as gently caress, but the fact that it just lets you turn off QTEs made me like it for whatever reason.

I beat Actraiser back in the day on cart, but IIRC the boss rush required all the 1-ups and the highest level I could muster (which wasn't the max, I think you could screw up your town expansions somehow and make it so they would peak pre-max level, even if you wiped the town with earthquake) to squeak by.

You can lock yourself out of max level exactly once, in Northwall. To maximize population, a city needs to be upgraded to wheat. Filmore and Northwall are the two cities that don't have farms for their max level building, so if you get to maximum civilizaton level without introducing wheat to one of their farms, and then destroy all the farms with an earthquake to make room for high-level buildings, you won't be able to drop wheat onto a farm tile to increase the population cap.

Filmore can get Wheat introduced by building a connecting route between it and Bloodpool (be warned that doing this converts its max level large building to wheat over the castles permanently), but if you nuke all the farms in Northwall, you can't get it to them by any other means. If at least one wheat farm zone exists, the city's population cap is raised high enough that you can hit maximum :eng101:

In the Japanese version, the action stages were harder and everything did damage as if it was on Professional!!, but the sim mode was much less strict. The population required for max level was way lower, and you could hit the level cap simply by reaching the max civilization level and then filling in every tile on the map. If you min-maxed with earthquakes, you could even reach it by Aitos. In the US release, they raised the tnl for max level to be nearly at the population cap in every single region.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Yay! Beat another boss in Nioh without too much trouble. I was actually kind of surprised how easy he was, with the only deaths I have down to me loving up more than him being hard.

It did make me find out that the game was nice enough to make it so in the boss fight taking place in an on fire room, they made it so when you win the fire no longer hurts you, which was good because the boss died in the fire and dropped all his loot in there.

I think the only longish series I've played every single game in is Fire Emblem so I'm gonna do my hot take rankings of it

Thracia 776
Blazing Blade (i.e. Fire Emblem no subtitle)
Awakening
Sacred Stones
Heroes
New Mystery of the Emblem
Path of Radiance
Genealogy of the Holy War
Tokyo Mirage Session #FE
Conquest
Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Mystery of the Emblem
Radiant Dawn
Birthright
Binding Blade
Gaiden
Shadow Dragon
Revelation
Akaneia Chronicles (i.e. BSFE)
Shadow Dragon and the Sword of Light (i.e. FE1)

It was tricky ranking games when they often have huge problems and good parts that don't overlap at all (like, Genealogy and Conquest are almost mutually exclusive in where their good parts are) but this is my hot take and I'm standing by it

Thracia
Path of Radiance
Blazing Blade
New Mystery of the Emblem
Sacred Stones
Binding Blade
Radiant Dawn
Genealogy
Mystery of the Emblem
Echoes
#FE
Shadow Dragon
The Last Promise
Awakening
Birthright
Conquest
Akaneia Chronicles
Sword of Light
Gaiden
Heroes
Revelation

If someone made a hack of Path of Radiance that replaced the map combat animations with instant damage like the Radiant Dawn ones I'd put that hack as high as you put Path of Radiance
e: FE1 over anything is kind of ambitious too but I guess I can see the argument

idk if anyone had Minit on their radar but it's an incredibly good game. It's a game where you die and go back to the last house you were in every 60sec, and you solve puzzles and stuff. I'm totally stuck right now and just trying out random poo poo but it's still an extremely good feel.

games aimed at girls where you play as a female protagonist and get with cute guys. they're usually more story/drama focused than a typical dating sim. examples include hakuoki and playing as a female character in dragon age. the peak of the genre is the one where you play as keiji inafune's granddaughter and get captured by pig-themed terrorists
