Playing the crosscode dlc and boy im not good at the combat in this or I need to get good again

I also feel like the combat has been way stepped up in difficulty, the pvp fight vs apollo is completely insane, I can barely touch him

lodoss wars looks like a cool offbrand castlevania. man i vaguely remember this anime from my teen anime phase just browsing screenshots of random animes I couldn't acquire. I thought it was about alien elfs doing a big fantasy war or something.

p.s. is the game only available in polite island language or is there a vulgar colonial option?

Apparently Record of Lodoss War is a franchise extending all the way back to 1988 :psyduck:

Lodoss started as a Japanese guy’s DnD campaign or something like that, iirc

lodoss war is cool because it started out as just some people's D&D game that they published replays of, that they then rewrote into fantasy novels and became japans equivalent of lord of the rings

at some point they looped back around and made their own lodoss war ttrpg system, so they could remove all references to actual D&D

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Yeah, there's an ancient OVA as well.

The metroidvania game is supposed to be really good, so I'm looking forward to that.

this one also came out here for some inexplicable reason. its not bad though, especially by lodoss war standards. a lot of them are real questionable knockoffs of other rpgs

Researching it for the first time, and it doesn't seem to be really known in the west at all, it's primarily a Japanese thing from what I can see from limited research so far.

Loduss War was in one of those "japanimation" vhs mail order commericals I used to see on TV back in the mid-90s.

Same, I remember learning about it during my anime phase but never getting around to watching it. This was also about 20 years ago, when anime was having a moment in general

some observations about sonic chronicles: the dark brotherhood, in no particular order:

-there are about 15-20 seconds of silence between loops in the background music. i knew going in that there'd been issues with the music but not to that extent
-lots of stock sound effects evocative of humongous entertainment pc games
-this is the second sonic game on the ds to crib gameplay from elite beat agents/ouendan
-your healing moves can miss if you flub the qte
-the game tells you turn order for your party but not for the enemies
-the stats named Attack and Defense are actually for accuracy and evasion. relatedly, attacks miss frequently
-enemies will sometimes try to run away and you then play an auto-runner minigame. if they do escape then you don't get anything, even from enemies you defeated
-enemies scale with your level but their rewards do not appear to
-dialogue options let you decide whether to be polite goodboy sonic or snarky rudeboy sonic
-
-Visit our community website at https://sonic.bioware.com!

my only goal is to be as nice to amy rose as possible

I bought Sonic Chronicles because I was thinking "Oh boy, I love both Sonic and RPGs! This is gonna be great!"

(It was not, in fact, great)

At least you can use Cream to completely break the game in two

you're not wrong, it's basically some people's not-DnD not-campaign exploded into a anime/game/novel franchise. also i thin ki did download or buy one of the OVAs for it eventually because i remember those bigass elf ears and thinking of them again once WoW came out and they were leaning hard into big rear end elf ears + eyebrows.
