It's kinda funny that the first Atelier is far and away the one with the most revealing main chara design.

there's a few steam guides for general move combos, though I remember early on it feeling really sluggish and Bad because you simply don't have those moves yet. playing some smash here with the b button moves coming in once a hour.
It's unfortunately the worst part of the game, but on the flipside getting a guide to set yourself up it becomes pretty rad.

Thanks. I found a Steam combo guide as well as a weapon-enhancement guide, so I'll mess with those tomorrow.

Lydie had to wait until her swimsuit costume was released to have something completely cover her midsection since Marie's costume was her alternate.

Two years of age and Troy Baker are pretty much the only things that set Yuri apart from being the most generic swept-up-in-a-magical-princess-saving-quest JRPG hero template.

"But he murdered those people" if those nobles had turned into giant monsters or robots or dark wizards or something and had a boss fight no one would bat an eye that Yuri killed them.

I kinda feel like it's a real weak take to say if those people were instead just monsters no one would care.

Like ' Oh man, if Chris and Leon were killing people instead of zombies they'd be on death row!' Like, yeah? That's kinda obvious, imo.

they should make a resident evil gaiden game where chris and jill and leon &c are just rear end in a top hat raccoon city cops (or world police idk) going on a rampage

everything is tank controls on fixed camera angles because the game is told through the lens of an action news report

also let's not forget that the main recurring boss makes himself more and more monstrous with every fight until yuri finally has enough and gives him the patented "stab in gut + kick down very long drop" treatment

Yeah, I don't know what to say about Zagi though. Because on the one hand, huge murderboner and kinda unhinged but I can't say anyone would hold that against him because again, dude just loved murderin' and probably has attacked random people because its been a whole six hours without having killed someone.

I feel like it’s fair in the context of Zesty/Bersy being a thing, where literal monsters are actual people you kill in the former and emphasize with in the latter.

it kind of rips off earthbound a lot. you can get passive abilities for your characters by linking the chakras (and access to both sets of spells) at a certain point in the game, which is more innovative than most snes rpgs. the music is composed in part by demon kakka and is forgettable to terrible. all enemies are animated to some extent.

It has come to my attention that Phantom Dust Remastered is free for Windows 10. Is it worth checking out?

From what I know, it's a cult XBox Action RPG hit where you create decks of cards that spawn in the arena which you collect and then use to combat enemies. Watching videos, it looks a bit stilted, definitely more RPG than Action, and the vids I saw didn't seem to have any movement options, or maybe the players just didn't use them. Looks a little janky, and not sure how it holds up today. I tried looking up video reviews on YouTube but not much was out there.

Decks of cards is a lie because it's actually just you pick up powerups in the arena. It's got a tacked on singleplayer mode which you could try I guess but the multiplayer is dead.

i heard the windows 10 port was also kind of bad

it's epic cause microsoft hired people to remake the multiplayer, and then killed their entire studio by suddenly asking them to make a full singleplayer campaign without giving them any of the resources to manage it

I'm emulating the PSP Growlanser so that I have a fast-forward button and I think the main character might have one of the roughest 6 months I've ever seen in an RPG

- Dad disbands the mercenary company you've been with as long as you can remember
- Dad and Sister get killed by angels and/or bad guys
- Captured by bad guy army
- Blackmailed into joining army
- Implicated in the annihilation of a city
- Drugged by own army and taken to torture dungeon for months
- Escape on ship, get into violent storm, become deathly ill

though I guess the next thing he does is save a city and become a landowner with an art gallery sooo...

Yeah, something to be aware of in the first TitS game is your only core party members are Estelle and Joshua. Anyone else is a guest for the Chapter as they travel around Liberl. TitS: Second Chapter will let you select your party members though.

On the plus side, however, they'll leave their gear and Quartz behind for use in Estelle or Joshua's Orbments when they leave.
