I’m in JRPG heaven right here.

Had no idea that Atelier Yumia was out for delivery already from VG+, but I’m glad it’s here.

I reviewed “NORSE MYTHS THAT INSPIRED FFVII” from M.J. Gallagher in today’s newsletter

In a weird way, this book was an inspiration to starting The Video Game Library project

It's the 27th anniversary since the release of Parasite Eve. Squaresoft's first M-Rated JRPG, combining horror and Sci-Fi elements, based on and acting as a sequel to the novel of the same name by pharmacologist and author Hideaki Sena. Taking place in a mitochondria monster-infested New York City. Contrary to its sequel, the first game never got a European/PAL release.

You can vote for the game to become available on GOG as part of their Game Preservation Program here:https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/parasite-eve

It's not that #FinalFantasy 2 is bad (it is), it's *bizarre*. I am 5 dungeons ahead now, maybe 10 hours in. The enemies here are a tiny fraction of the difficulty of the enemies 50 tiles away from the main town. It's an EKG of a difficulty curve.

"How can a game be open but linear??" Play Final Fantasy X-2 without a guide. Wash deeply in its sins. You will understand, my child. Great game, but it's "episode complete" system is a hellish nightmare...the good???? news is it requires 2+ playthroughs ANYWAY so it's possible to replay and fix your mistakes...maybe. It's...not worth it, btw. The game is good, plot aside, but attempt no landing at 100% FF X-2.

Finally about to kill he ass!!

Struggling y’all. Trails In The Sky The 3rd. The lack of story beats driving the game, the just non-stop explore & fight… I’m just kind of bored and uninterested so far after the prologue & chapters 1 & 2.

13 hours in and I’m not feeling it. =(

I just want to randomly throw in that “Eternal Sonata” was a great game that I haven't heard enough about in general!

I mean, in how many games can you fight as Frédéric Chopin?

First game I finish this March: #Earthbound Beginnings for the #Nintendo Entertainment System #NES. I didn't enjoy this game properly, with having to move out and everything, I was playing it a couple of hours a week and relying a ton on walkthroughs — 'cause I forget quite easily — in fact, I hadn't relied on walkthroughs this much in ages...

Regardless of all that I think this is a very solid #JRPG.
