Star Ocean 2 R demo dropping today, which seems like an odd choice, but they also posted a trailer showing off a bunch of the new changes to the game.

Maybe Vanillware is making a sequel to Grand Knights History? Grand Kingdom was ok I guess but I found it super grindy and the online stuff was lame IMO.

What's up with that narrator? Is that an AI voice or something? Just sounds off to me.

Game looks real good though.

Cassette Beasts is unironically my favorite Pokemon clone and I enjoyed it more than the most recent Pokemon games.

It's just genuinely really well crafted and a lot of fun. It has good monster designs, a story that approaches 'adult Pokemon' while still being kid friendly and avoiding any of the stuff you'd associate with 'adult Pokemon', it's genuinely really user friendly and has a lot of nice features that make battles feel more meaningful (including a by-default 2 person party which offers more flexibility), the music is excellent and they do a super cool thing with the bosses where they all represent different art styles and the game leans hard into that which makes them feel memorable and 'off-kilter'

It's a great game.

It seems the secret to your success is a combination of boundless energy and enthusiastic insolence...
I was just wondering when we'd see the next thing from Vanillaware the other day, between that and new SaGa things are looking good.

kamitani said he was directing another game that would go into full production after this, so that's also in the pipeline.

Bought it last week on a whim after deciding to wait on a sale for Siralim 3. I've played a few mon games this year (Nexomon 1/2, Monster Sanctuary) and while I'm not sure how I'd end up ranking it between them, it's definitely making my top 10 this year. Soundtrack slaps, it never gets old when the lyrics start kicking in. You don't really have to grind the monsters themselves, their levels are your human characters' levels, they have their own XP bar that gives them more Stickers (moves) that you can detach and attach to any other suitable mon, it's so convenient to throw teams together when every move can be shuffled around between them. And as you progress these Stickers get extra features, like a chance of being used at start of battle.

I really like how the big boss fights are all done in unique styles, to sell how alien and powerful they really are. Plus that bgm is killer.

Stoked to see Paper Mario TTYD remake is an actual thing after all this time. It's a stupid complaint but I feel like they're leaning into the paper style a bit too much? I liked that all the blocks stuck out as looking like they were made out of totally different materials if they weren't holding coins. Like the block museum Easter egg thing in Superstar Saga.

Reject Archers, embrace running three White Knights with Velocity Shift, which is now an auto skill that has a chance of popping off at the beginning of their turn. Embrace running Dark Priest with Bloody Gag and Iron Maiden, which are also now auto skills.

You have to understand that this is exactly my problem. Archers are the good class in Tactics Ogre. Reborn is simply wrong.

To be fair I am like 95% sure that shot is from moments before or after they leap out a window with an explosion behind them.

Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed it offhand but "Scarlet Graces Frontier" is exactly what I want out of a SaGa game.

it looks like they've added more options for combo attacks, including one person combo attacks where a single character just goes apeshit for several time units.
