Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
To be clear, the joke is that she doesn't know how to type well. She's rather well-spoken in person.

Jusis has one boyfriend already and he wears glasses and is a huge nerd.

No game, I don't care how often Millium tells Jusis he is going to totally be thrilled by her giant breasts when she grows up and that they are on a date, I refuse to accept another Tita and Agate.

the jusis/millium thing really doesnt feel like tita and agate tbh, they're only a couple years apart. millium's 15 in cs2, jusis is 18, that isnt that weird really

nah, as one example if anything ffta encourages MORE just random walking around between map points because the mission system isnt too different from fft errands but now theres also laws meaning how you choose to walk around lets you game combats. kinda annoying in that respect

I think the only ones I ever waited out was poo poo like banned: melee

Everything else I just reshuffled my party like a masterful tactician for (or used the anti law cards)

i mean if you're looking at the series like homework instead of a thing you play to have fun then you can skip all of them if you want. thats not a 'get out scrub' thing i just mean you shouldnt really be looking at stuff like that imo

sky 3 isnt that long and i like it a fair bit so id recommend playing it if you liked sky 1 and 2

Look. I want to play them. But I also want to be caught up. I've played Sky 1 before to completion, enjoyed it, then haven't gone back for long enough I'm barely remembering most of the cast, so it's just a lot and it'd be nice to make it more manageable. While also assuaging my dumb completionist brain that has also guaranteed I cannot play Yakuza: Like a Dragon yet because I have not finished the Kiryu games.

"Hi Everybody!"
One thing I really like with Laura too is she makes the first move on Rean. (Well if you progress the romance path of course). It's just a neat change compared to most JRPG romance interests only receiving the protagonist's confession.

Also just to briefly circle back to Tales of Berseria hats, Eizen with the Top Hat on is canon and I refuse to accept otherwise :colbert:. It just completes his outfit perfectly.

I was a Rean/Gaius guy back in Cold Steel 1 but Gaius never got anything afterwards so that one sort of fell off.

I think I was like half way through CS4? I just got tired of having like 30 different characters, it felt so padded. I might get back to it at some point just to say I finished that arc off.

I always avoided Copycat and any attacking adjacent enemies because there was something that kept tripping me up. It might've been trying to do AOE spells or something.

Besides Etrian Odyssey remasters, are there other dungeon crawling rpgs for switch or PS5 that are worth playing?

The Mary Skelters are supposed to be OK. If memory serves the first game is built into MS2.

Saviors of Sapphire Wings/Stranger of Sword City: Revisited is another 2 in 1 worth a look. I didn't like them as much as EO

Its a bit more than that. OG game had huge maps, that version brings it down to the much more manageable MS2 size. Also also other changes where the devs say the play order is to play two before the new version of one.

honestly have nothing but respect for the fact that cbu3's first idea when getting to make a singleplayer final fantasy game was to combine the basic tone and narrative structural ideas of tactics with asura's wrath

There seems to be both a Touhou Genso Wanderer Reloaded and a Touhou Genso Wanderer -Lotus Labyrinth R- on Nintendo Dot Com's online store, with English and Japanese releases.

Also reminded me that Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk and Labyrinth of Galleria: the Moon Society are both on Switch as well.

Iiirc Genso Wanderer is Shiren the Wanderer instead of Etrian Odyssey (e.g. random dungeons)

i have bitter goemon feelings cause i played all the snes goemon games and my main takeaway was that 2 is like the only good one and they only get worse after that, 3 might be one of the worst zelda clones i've ever played
