I looked it up and the ending I got is Canon which is weird. I can go back and beat the boss and now I'm curious why they made the "good" ending the fail state one. Interesting approach to a final boss

Yeah. Like in the failure scenario James, who was in love with the final boss, sacrifices himself to protect Koudelka/Edward, they have a conversation and then ascend into the afterlife together, Koudelka/Edward have a scene later of them camping out, hanging out on a horse, theyve clearly become a couple. In the "good" ending you kick the boss into a lava cauldron and get a 10 second scene of James looking at the sunrise crying and koudelka and edward never say a word to each other after. I really like that approach. There's also a third ending where if you dont have a Pendant in your inventory the final boss kills you right you enter her arena lol. Anyway. For real now, let's kick off 2019 with:

1. Koudelka

1a. DQXI post game

I still like this game, but I got kind of bored of it at the end. I'm glad I played it, but I don't think I'm going to play anything else that takes 60+ hours to beat for a long time. I really hated how status effects work and I kind of resent having to spend an hour and half gathering the mats to make two copies of the Catholicon Ring for each of my guys just so I could beat some hard fights without going insane. The art is great and Sylvando and Hendrick are badass.

What's the lore behind the guy in the armor at the end with your sword? Is that a character from another DQ game?

I'm over 60 hours in and I haven't even seen credits...sounds like you need to learn how to chew your food before you swallow it.

That guy spent 40 hours crafting 8 catholicon rings instead of reading spell descriptions since you can heal basically every status effect lol.

Also easily the dumbest final cutscene question I've ever seen. Did you pay attention to the game at all?

You can't heal them if all your guys that can heal it are effected by the status effect, bitch.

I don't find the gameplay in these that amazing, but the amount of effort they put into everything surrounding the fake MMO is really neat. I wish they'd been better games but I'm glad they got a remake.

8. Lilian Fourhand ~Nuclear soeur Fighters~ (Hard 1cc)

Old doujin game by French Bread, best known for Melty Blood and UNIEL. It's a fun little autoscrolling platformer/shooter based on the popular Maria-sama ga Miteru series. You control two characters at once who mostly move in sync, you can shoot to the left or the right as well as lock on to targets in the background, you have a dash with iframes and you can press down and jump in the air to goomba stomp enemies. The jumping is a little unusual, if you're holding to either side when you hit the button your characters will do a somersault and their shots will swing around in a circle. As doujin games go it's pretty high quality, I found it randomly thanks to a youtube suggestion and had a great time with it.
