Making fun of Yuri for what he did in an earlier sidequest and getting a lever-action shotgun as her ultimate weapon does improve my opinion of Margarete significantly.

Most of the more forgettable characters in Shadow Hearts would have been the star of the party in a more normal JRPG.

The European party members are in fact present, but there wouldn't be much more to say about them if Halley weren't connected to Koudelka.

That's the only game in the series that hasn't had any LP and very little attention is paid to it.(on YT I could only find 1 LP) While kethryveris already did SA LPs for SH and Covenant,they never did FtNW for some reason.

You can think I'm joking, but DarkId's LP is what motivated my dumb rear end to finally 100% Drakengard 1. Drove me nuts but I did it. Did the same with Nier 1, not realizing for the longest time they were at all related. Then his LP came out and i devoured it. I very much not regret being in the D3 thread when Automata was announced. DarkId is the portent of sad/mad games to come. Or if he's not, he's at least drat good at what he does. Shadowhearts getting an addition to the series is no less likely than Drakengard or Nier imo

Then again I think I personally know every huge fan of that game and WA4, like the 30 person target audience for XSeed's first releases were one weird internet forum I was on. The trouble with FtNW as an LP is that the main appeal is "it's Covenant's battle system but actually kinda hard", so the LPer has to put in effort or really know the game well, but the plotty bits are... a step back shall we say. The music is easily the best in the series though!

It’s also been dead for basically two full generations. Also every Drakenier sequel was a surprise until Automata hit gold and Square says it was an important franchise going forward.

FTNW wasn't so hard so long as you fought most random encounters and abused the hell out of the changes Covenant made to the battle system. Because running to the same extent that would be considered normal in this one or Covenant means you won't get nearly enough Soul Energy.

Oh, god yeah. All the SH games are super broken if you start using all the crap the games give you, FtNW having easily the most of it. It requires knowing the game's little systems well and getting real good at your judgement rings, but you can totally do complete nonsense like combo buff your main attacker then straight up OHKO most bosses with a physical. SH1 isn't THAT broken, but that Mind's Eye that's not getting used is real dumb under the right setups.

Finally at present day after binging this thread. Glad to finally catch one of Id's LP's live after reading them on the LP archives for years. I'm especially glad to catch Id playing one of favorite series of all time; it's been a blast to see Id's take on this quirky little series. Also, Id, I remember at the end of the I am Setsuna thread where you said that it was unlikely that would do another LP just because of life. Well, here we are 3 LP's later. I guess what they say is true... No one stops. Ever. Man, I'm going to feel like a clown if someone else already thought of that one

The sad truth is that Konami really has no incentive to stop doing it. Superbunnyhop did a video on Konami(a little after the horrible work conditions they put their employees under was found out) going into more detail. The short version is this:Konami's entire video game developing department makes a pittance compared to the real money that's found in investing in spas and... you guessed it pachinko machines. Konami shutting down their entire game division wouldn't hurt them in any way because they have that safety net so they can do that and abuse their franchises brand with no real cost to their bottom line. A lot of Japanese companies that make video games are the same. It's kind of like no matter how much an EA game bombs,they can fall back on FIFA.Although, considering the controversy around lootboxes/MTXs and people slowly getting sick of EA, that may or may not be true for much longer.

They've been fairly generous in licensing stuff like Castlevania recently- I think they're going the Capcom route in that searing hatred of one developer made them smash up their own business for a little while.

Yeah, Inafune was kind of a dick about people leveling some well-deserved criticism about Mighty No. 9. I hope IGA doesn't go the same route with Bloodstained, but it seems so far his team is listening to the comments from the demo and beta plays.

Yeah, the release of Might No. 9 was garbage, and Inafune handled it poorly. But all I was saying was Mighty No. 9 was after Inafune left Capcom, and therefore probably wasn't the reason Capcom was trashing its own business.
