looks like tomestone has a dawntrail recap. it would be a lot more accurate if more of my stuff was logged lol

fun little nostalgia revisit. played this game a ton as a kid. this version kinda looks ugly, though, and it was a lot buggier than i remember the original one being.

this is such an odd parking rule. seems obnoxious. does it mean i have to move my car everyday even if i don't drive??

listening to live music and eating fresh fish right on the lake it’s from. this is what life’s all about.

cool fights, but as a whole raid i liked ftb and previous field ops raids more tbh

the rankings will definitely change, but second highest in damage in the final forked tower boss out of all jobs is pretty crazy. nice to see a couple people i've been running with at the top, too.

early access so there'll be more later but it's fun!! i hope they get really creative with more levels. i think they could diversify the weapons more and some options are way too busted (judgement beam, carpe diem, venus' favour). aesthetics are great, just needs gameplay tweaks and more content.

glasya-labolas is my favorite demon design new to smtv. i hope it makes it to all future megaten games. really cool in its few moments in vengeance.

julien @ iowa @boolien.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
finally wrapped this up. konohana sakuya goes crazy. also shoutouts to my boy yoshitsune. in typical smt fashion the difficulty falls off a cliff in the midgame, and i didn't even use the strong options until the end of my first run. the story's a huge improvement but still still kinda off at times.

julien @ iowa @boolien.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
did smtvv masakado on hard on my first run and it was brutal. needed a dedicated tank demon and despite these stats, full buffs, and blocking it was barely surviving 3 freikugels with 20-30 hp. not having access to drain/repel fire made it sketchy, too. crazy superboss, its damage output is insane.

finished this up after being partway in for like 2 years. wanted to experience a new dqm since i loved joker 1 as a kid but this was kinda bad, tbh. even just ignoring the abysmal story, there were many questionable design decisions. if the achievement 100% wasn't a joke i wouldn't have done it lol
110
julien @ iowa @boolien.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
this 100% was kind of annoying with how much some of the facilities needed to max out. but overall, pretty good game! some nice improvements in this one, though i liked the world design of the first game better. this sequel has a better story overall, too, but i think the first's ending is stronger.

julien @ iowa @boolien.bsky.social · 27/06/2026
easy game and easy 100%. had never actually played ff1 before. the hardest part was spending 2 hours trying to get warmech to spawn.

funny how this game really is just fata morgana 2, flaws and all, but not as good (and with some questionable content + typos). overall i found it worth it but it requires a lot of investment to get through some mixed quality stuff for neat recontextualization and a genuinely great final story.

man, some of these outfits look really good, especially the ones for melia and fiora. a far cry from all the embarrassing female character outfits in the game. excited to get them!!

p5r inserting so many insta-win gimmicks to its combat without a care for balance made it such a disappointing p5 replay for me. seeing this new gimmick in the p4 remake is putting me off of it cuz it looks like they're just repeating that flaw.

now that se properly implemented the 2k oc pot achievement i can stop doing my manual notecard tracking lol. met my goal of 1500 before the cosmic update but it turns out i'm at 1510, so i forgot to mark some.

julien @ iowa @boolien.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
pretty different from the first game but still very good. that final puzzle was pretty crazy, it took a hot minute. hoping they make a third one cuz these games are incredible.

gave my character a different haircut and it fits her so well, i think i'll stick with this one for a long while. a nice perk is that i can finally use bodypieces with big collars now lol

found and saved a snake trapped in bundled up plastic fencing yesterday. parts were super tight around it and it damaged its scales trying to force itself through but we got it completely out!!

chipped away at this for a while. the battle system was... serviceable. dungeons were rather bland. the stories were better than i expected, tho especially hacker's memory. overall i liked it. i'll get time stranger someday. shout-outs to mastemon, marineangemon, and lilithmon for being my mvps.

did most of this a few years ago and finally wrapped up the dragon slayer quest today. initially stopped cuz i had a money grind ahead of me for gear but i just asked a billionaire friend of mine to spot me a couple hundred thousand gold lol. played this game a ton as a kid, was fun to revisit.

julien @ iowa @boolien.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
did the main route last year and recently returned to it. redid the main route and did all the extra routes. massive step up from the first game. couple great characters and the true ending was really good. above average vn for sure, i liked it a good bit.

yuji himukai killed it with his designs for this game. here are some of my faves. gonna have to get this if it gets localized for the art alone.

finally played the first 3 ace attorney games and it was pretty good overall! mixed in quality here and there, and the cross-examination isn't exactly intuitive a good chunk of the time, but it was well worth it for that last case, which was phenomenal.

if you put the new facewear piece on top of the everseeker headpiece it shares the model with you get this cool glitchy effect. definitely unintentional, but who knows if it'll get patched.

got m12s cleared! a friend asked me if i wanted to join his group for a run. i hadn't gotten past the first mechanic of phase 2, but we one-shot it anyway. the power of studying!! it does make my progress chart look a little goofy, though.
