Still thinking about it. It was the best. So many times an ending can make or break something. It is always lovely to see an ending enhance the daylights out of something.

After the stream finished last night I was thinking about how when Zidane and Dagger meet he's just a thief and she's a princess who's never seen the world and he teaches her how to express herself without the trappings of monarchy and he shows her the world and she starts to stand up for herself and claims her own agency and then they split up but he comes back for her and rescues her and they explore new worlds and even get married and she discovers her true origins and the family she never knew while he is confronted with his own purpose and almost breaks down but she rescues him and shows him how much he has to live for and then they save all of existence together but he goes away to provide their enemy companionship while he dies and it looks he sacrifices himself and she goes on to rule but then he comes back to her because they're a team and they will always be together FOREVER :cry::cry::cry:

And then I watched the end of the stream again cause I was too emosh

Trying to hold it together at the end of incredibly emotional games on stream is always the toughest thing for me :unsmith: Have yet to succeed.

i managed to snag an alpha code for Multiversus (off of a very drunk twitch streamer who gave his last code out by having the 15 or so people in chat guess a number 1-10) and im a reindog main now

he's very cute and very fun but it is also the only character in the game who doesn't actually talk so im kinda torn

maybe i'll switch to the iron giant when he's available

I have been playing this as well and it's surprisingly good

VG I have a few questions for your playthrough.

1. Did you do the coffee quest
2. Did you get and keep the hammer
3. Did you find all the stellazios
4. Did you get Ark
5. Did you fight Tantarian
6. This isn't a question, I just wanted you to know that in the pre-main-menu cg Lindblum is spelled Lindbulm

Also I have not played a game seriously in quite a while now. With all this current talk of FF IX maybe I'll load it up on the Switch...
Work is really busy lately so I haven't had much time but hopefully things will calm down a bit and I can get into something more substantial than the occasional Piccross.

I got the airship in FFIX last week and have been slowly working thru some side Q’s before jumping back in the story. I’ve never been this far in the game in the many times I’ve tried playing through it since it was released way long ago when I was an 8th grader.

I’m trying to settle on a party while futzing thru side Q’s and I like everyone so much (except Eiko).

oh that explains a lot about the LP I watched earlier. the jumping noise they used every single time she made any hop, which was constantly, also really was out of place for an anime. it's the cartoon jump sound effect i remember from kid pix and other old mac vaguely educational games.

I believe they literally did that because "Every game has a rocket on it, let's do something that'll grab attention at the store."

And considering banjo man is the game's enduring legacy, maybe there was a point.

I wouldn't have anywhere near as much memory of the various Kirby covers if people weren't posting about angry American Kirby every 6 hours in 2007 so they technically qualify too

Just in case anyone other than me needs to know: the last angry Kirby game was 2017's forgettable Kirby Battle Royale.
The 3DS Kirby games had angry Kirby on them in Japan too.
Thanks for reading this informative post.

What the characters actually look like:



As hilarious as those interpretations of the Phantasy Star characters are, at least the westernized cover art is actually really good art in its own right, and not the hilariously amateur crap the western Cosmic Fantasy box art is.

Same goes for the SNES Breath of Fire covers which went to EXTREME 90s Comic Book art, but it was pretty well done comic book art.

The original Phantasy Star II art is really good, weird heel boots aside:



The original Cosmic Fantasy 2 art is generic anime:
