Have you considered the fact that my opinions are always 100% correct though.

Crystal Project's endgame is so weird, thanks mostly to Summoner. Here's a class that specializes in just utterly shutting down your enemies! 100% Silence, Blind, and Paralyze, plus Reflect, 2x 100% dodge to all party members, revive all and auto-life, plus some miscellaneous damage in all the other elements. But you can only use each of those spells once and they cost so much MP in a game where MP recovery is godawful. You play most of the game careful and methodical with your perfect information, up until you enter endgame and get this class that encourages you to try and damage race everything. I guess it's intended to be cathartic, especially since you have to beat optional bosses to get the spells at all? It's not bad, just strange. The EO4 jobs mod was fairly good throughout. Landsknecht could use more scaling on the Links to make them weaker earlier and stronger later but is otherwise good and interesting, Sniper is a great complement to Hunter (and Eagle Eye is a useful secondary skill for Rogues or anyone else that needs to play with their turn order), Medic's a good sidegrade to the standard starting healer class, and Nightseeker is an interesting optimization puzzle with how to gear them and how to use their double-turn passive to maximize their DPS focus. Arcanist and Runeseeker both seem on the weaker side and Imperial's a little too straightforward, but all in all it's solid.

I disagree, devs should only solicit advice from the SomethingAwful forums. Surely nothing can go wrong!

Tbf the "3-4x DPS burn the boss, fingers crossed they win" strat comes online before you can even get Summoner, it's just easier/safer with it.

so awkward how disgaea 2 has everyone get this bit of internal monolog towards the end but, only two of them have anything to have a monolog about. i feel like the plot of this game takes until like the last 1/3 to actually go anywhere and it makes the whole pace of the thing feel bizarre

I think probably could have condensed the two "Axel kidnaps Adell's siblings" into one chapter, as well as the two tournament chapters. Even when I played the game on release I could tell the middle section was weirdly paced.

it's weird because it's one of the least complicated ps2 nis srpg plots but it also is one of the most meandering. like i just don't know why 90% of this game happens. it's not for lack of plot there's just a whole lot of stuff in it that's either too predictable or feels like it's just there to fill out some time. disgaea 1 had some pacing issues but it was more with how much it piled in at the end, disgaea 2 feels like there is absolutely nothing coherent going on until you hit the point where disgaea 1 went nuts

good news everyone, while sveta leaves your party after one dungeon in dark dawn I'm now at the point where she's rejoined game continues to be pretty good when nobody's talking, craggy peaks and the phantasmal bog are solid dungeons and i really like the little optional sequence where you smoke some dream leaf to cross over the dream version of a closed border town for a hidden summon

Disgaea 2 just likes the slow burn.

i love the slow burn when it's done right but disgaea 2's cast doesn't really have the depth of interactions and personality for it. disgaea 1's cast weren't exactly deep either but they were deep and unusual enough for their writing to be surprising and memorable and i dont feel the same is ever true about 2's, adel and rozalin's dynamic isn't bad but it also hits all the notes you'd expect the moment you see it coming up so it just never really grabbed me in any significant way and nobody else has anything going on at all really. yukimaru kinda has stuff but she's too sidelined for it to be interesting. axel has something but axel is a joke character

I haven't played in a decade or so but I was a fan. Solid game imo Think it had one of the better difficulty curves out of the Disgaea games? Found it easier to get into than Disgaea 1, which I had dropped and had to get back to after 2.

I have an important question about Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Is Soulhacker the kind of Blue Mage that gets hilariously broken if you play it right, or the kind of Blue Mage that basically has to complete a bonus superboss to get one sort of good spell and that's all they're good for?

Soul Hacker is great because it was the earliest class where I could have like break, topple and then a combo ender in one guy.

https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/god-wars-the-complete-legend-switch/ So i don't know if this is actually *good* but God Wars is going to be delisted on the 28th so NIS put it on sale for $4. So if you're even remotely curious might be a good time to grab it.

What I played of God Wars felt very standard but also it was real slow too. I can tolerate a game with mediocre gameplay but not if it's moving like molasses.

Just checked the PS4 version I have cos I never bought the DLC to make it the same as the Switch version and looks like it's already delisted there lol

God Wars isn't good or even interesting in a bad way. If you want a mediocre SRPG about a character being joined by a bunch of random freaks as they travel the land, Koei Tecmo recently trademarked Saiyuki Journey West so that might be getting a remaster or port or whatever.

Welp, glad I picked up The Lost Child when I did since it's already gone and was two months ago. I've been playing it recently and while it's not bad it's also not amazing, but it's scratching that particular SMT-ish dungeon-crawler itch at the moment.

Currently debating how much I want to grind jobs in these paths leading to Eternia Central Command in Bravely Default 1, where the enemies drop about five times as much JP as the last area but put me near death after only a couple of battles. Yes I found the little shack off of the one path where you can rest for free.

golden sun dark dawn: when i first played this as a kid i never actually used sveta because i thought karis was cute and had it in my head that i should only use one of each element and never messed around with djinn setups or anything. they really just, let sveta slam enemies into the ground for 600 damage a turn when the rest of the party combined is doing 300 at best without summoning. it's unreal
