So apparently the weapon classes in Shadow Hearts 1 weren't weird enough. Puppet strings and toothbrushes? Sure, why not?

This exchange is so good. I love how self-aware Lenny is - you wouldn't expect it from a guy looking like that, but he seems to understand his lot in life as a recurring boss fight.

Lenny mere pawn in larger game.

Every single villain missed the memo and thinks they’re in a serious, normal JRPG. They all paid dearly for it.

How could Veronica be wearing what she is and possibly be serious or normal

It is mostly a damage race between Veronica and Joachim. Veronica is a Water element affiliated dominatrix with a none too impressive 220 HP.

Did dominatrices (?) actually exist in 1915? I guess she's just blazing bold new trails of fashion. And... other things.


Cute frog. :3:

God I love this game and it's complete batshit insanity.

I wonder if there's any actual blind readers in the thread, and if their wildest guesses could actually capture where this sidequest ends up.

Speaking as an actual blind reader, I uh, hmm...

Not sure how creatively entertaining you could get with improvised knives, though. Lots of stuff to pick from that can smack things, but that same potentially ridiculous flair that also has a sharp edge and a pointy bit seems like it would be trickier to pull off. Probably would need to sell it with characterization.

Reminds me of the flavor text for one of Joker's knives in Persona Q2: "A spoon. It was not intended for this."

Of course they've got an airship. Why wouldn't they? Though, to give Shadow Hearts some credit, this is one of the few eras you could set a game in where that's not an anachronism.

I love how half hearted they are about helping her. As if they were sick and tired of Lucia's antics and the mansion halfway through.

I mean, the whole poo poo-talking different zodiac signs was fun for a while, but adding that blood type detector thing on top of that? Ridiculous. Go get eaten by a giant cat, lady.

You're forgetting the initial barrage. I choose to assume he was hitting rooms at random and got lucky on the second shot.

"Well they're not in the piano room... let's see if they got to the dungeon. Men; Target the top floor and fire. Lenny, get into place again and let's try to look suitably smug this time."

"Don't hit the fart gas generator!" :ohdear:

I'm so glad this LP exists, because this game is bonkers and I don't think I would have ever discovered how bonkers if I played it myself.

Lenny getting the Sapientes Gladio midboss job from a newspaper help-wanted ad is a surprisingly convincing explanation, lol

Considering Shadow Hearts: From the New World is set in America you would expect that maybe she might also make a cameo appearance in that game as well. But it's a bad game and that does not occur

Is it an interesting kind of bad? Or just bad?
