At least 2 (sort of?) Adresses this problem.
Though some elements remained, sadly.

And lets not even get into what 3 brings to the table for "problematic" additions to the series. Anime was a mistake. :colbert:

You know, I can't help but get a FF12 vibe from the whole "Wolves Palate Swap" thing. God there were so loving many wolves in FF12 it hurt.

You know, I like the idea that angels aren't all they're cracked up to be. Kinda like how SMT4's archangels are loving grotesque monsters just like the demons they claim to hate. Yuri's "Angel" transformation goes along those same lines, he didn't turn into a being of "goodness and beauty" as much as he turned into another grotesque monster like the rest of his transformations.

Well, Megaten Lucifer is also a lot more on your side than god is, especially in Nocturne, so there's also that :v:

SMT4/Apocalypse Lucy was also pretty chill all things considered...the fact he's a grotesque abomination made from a human not withstanding. But yea, Megaten Lucifer is a pretty chill dude that wants to sell you on the idea of a Dog Eat Dog world over a cup of tea :v:

Oh boy, here we go. So, we placing bets on just how many orphans turned into supernatural horrors we'll be facing this time?

With this game? I make no bet against it. SH doesn’t have the hard on that DRAKENGARD does for kids, but it would be remiss if it didn’t cap a few kids in the head in broad daylight.

Id's almost right at endgame but the Shadow Hearts Trilogy loves throwing a slew of sidequests at you once you gain access to the final dungeon. Said sidequests in the series are usually actual dungeons and not lovely mini-games like FF 10 so they're worth doing.

Oh god I remember Tales of Symphonia opening up a SLEW of side-quests -right- before the final boss. When you're already balls deep in the last dungeon, including the arena bonus bosses.

There's a reasonable chance that Id might pick up Covenant once he's done with this one, so maybe it would be best not to go into more detail than that.

I think he might do the second game sometime after this. But...not sure if he'd pick up covenant. There's always a chance but...I'd say SH2 has a bigger chance since it continues Yuri's story after this

Echoing the loving sentiment. God drat I can't wait to see Konami stop bastardizing their franchises. Also calling a Yu-Gi-Oh pachinko machine if one hasn't happened yet.

IIRC He's also, at even levels, the second strongest physical attacker after Yuri, and his judgement ring is evenly sized and spaced, so he's good for making short work of random encounters if you're like me and allergic to spending MP outside boss fights.

Even in the Etrian Odessey games, I am heavily against using resources because JRPGs have taught me to hoard like a manic squirrel off it's meds. Then i use them anyways because if I don't I game over and then have to redo several hours of game. So it's like, I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't.

Never played Dragon Song here either, but on bad game mechanics, I heard that the way you ran from battles involves you breathing on the bottom of the DS. Yup, can only imagine how much fun people had there.

Oh god you have no idea. They had to shoehorn in a LOT of stuff just because the DS was new at the time. It's easily one of the worst RPGs out there IMO.

Also just general hygiene and the kind but simple gesture.

There's probably a joke about them eating up precious inventory space in other games, reflection how inconvenient it can be to carry them if you don't have a bag with you, but you're too polite to turn them down when offered.

I don't think I can play a Yakuza game without getting oodles of pocket tissues

So THAT'S why I keep getting those loving inventory cloggers in Zero...

You know, it’s nice to see your reward for The Ultimate Boss Battle is something that is basically the “I Win” button on steroids so you can just teabag everything else within the game. It’s annoying how many games that you can play with big bosses give you something that is just a trophy for winning.

Xenosaga 3 is half of a good game and half of two other games smooshed together with so little breathing room it amounts to a plot summary, and the underlying plot is so loving dumb that it would take a lot of nuance and execution to give it emotional weight or resonance but... nope, all that happens in the span of 2-3 hours of gameplay, during which you have multiple long boss fights.

Considering it was supposed to be three more games, ending on a really annoying cliffhanger that NEVER got any conclusion, they kinda needed to shove all that in one after another. RIP Xenosaga, you were killed because your second game sucked so badly because it got the Sonic 06 treatment, being thrown out into the wild before it was completely baked.
