Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm so curious on how they landed on that last tagline because in one sentence they reused the key words from the past ones but say "no promises" and take the unknown out of the unknown journey. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Something about the way it's played out vs the thematic tag lines is disappointing too. "The promise has been made" > "The unknown journey will continue" > "No promises await at journey's end" when it swerved to not delivering on the promise or unknown journey is ??? 130
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Nothing's really missable, once you beat a route it keeps your clear data and lets you chapter select anywhere you wanted to replay to see/unlock stuff. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 02/10/2026One day someone will remember Storm and Psylocke are there too. 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yeah, it does a real nice job presenting isolation as a constant theme, which is so much easier to appreciate after most of the later SH inspired stuff laser focused onto trauma, hits a lot closer for more people post-2020 too. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I also took it as the villains are struggling hard enough they can’t even pick up the easy kills since everyone on a hero’s party usually walks away from the fight fine. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I like 2-3 digits, but the most important thing is I want how stats relate to attacks to be the same scales. Drives me crazy when +3 Str gives +140 damage, but +3 Weapon Attack gives +20 damage. 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's like seeing Wild Arms come back made by one of the "Inspired by Chrono Trigger" indie RPGs with timed hits devs doing a sequel to their own game. It's exactly like Dead Cells, which was a worse action platformer than most dedicated indie Metroidvanias. 020
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Now you need 5 other people playing, all spamming quick chat so you constantly have "Not bad" "It's up to you!" "Damn..." at all times. 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Hell, you go one console gen forward with the ps3/360 and almost all of the Okami art team worked together putting out El Shaddai. 040
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Looks like it bumps the growths up at level 35 and 45, and also doubles the growth rates that unique horse mounts add to a character, which are usually 5% on every 1 stat point they give, so 5 points/25% growth at bond level 5. Nice extra bonus for Cai's route or Io anywhere. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think they balanced most of them around the idea that the other would-be protagonists were still playable, so chinese dimitri would've been a starter for Bertrand. Goofy that it's not changed, unless they're planning to add them as routes again in DLC. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 22/09/2026FF7 Rebirth had a lot of people show this off in weird ways. Straight people were going nuts sexualizing 15 year old Shinra infantry Cloud, and then make Cloud actively neg Yuffie for her beach bod comment instead of having him ignore her. 090
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 22/09/2026you can tell he genuinely thinks he deserves to live getting an almost perfect level and still having 11 spd and 10 def 020
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It's crazy how distinct he is while still having variety. Like this is one of my other favorites in Unlimited SaGa, the piano and cymbal kick ass: youtu.be/zfbE-_OdISM?...youtu.be時空の旅YouTube video by Masashi Hamauzu - Topic 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I've had so many 2 stat lck/cha level ups and missed so many 96-99% hits I'm convinced they're back to 1 roll RNG. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 15/09/2026the peacewalker experience of getting "HERE COMES A BIG ONE" burned into your brain 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 05/09/2026She's hitting the Challenge me in Green Mode in the opening screenshot there 001
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Something I thought was funny is the generic miniboss/boss theme in FF16 is straight from FF14's Eureka Anemos. It's this entire section from 0:54 to 1:52: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2fB...youtube.comFFXIV OST The Forbidden Land, Eureka Field Theme ( Wicked Winds Whisper )YouTube video by M D 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Seriously. They gutted most of the team within a month of launch, everyone on that team had to have known for at least 5+ years that their managers/CEOs were giving them nothing and laying them off no matter what they did. Is he supposed to play stupid? 040
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Original release P3 and P4 definitely had a couple of fights as hard as the higher end Nocturne fights, think it's mostly a matter of reputation or Nocturne not having some static party members to build around. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Everytime I do that, I think of the Futurama "Department of Redundancy Department", which takes a bit of the sting out of it. 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 15/08/2026It feels like watching someone gaslight a new player in FF14 into having to gather and craft their own gear for each new ARR dungeon. 020
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 13/08/2026and the graphics framing it, with phrases like this popping up, that's too good 051
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 11/08/2026So many people get so mad at 7, they never use Axl in 8 even though he’s like the most fun character in that one. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Some of my favorite Sonic 3 songs are the 2 player mode exclusive ones, which I imagine a lot of people straight up never heard. youtu.be/afvhon26unY?...youtu.beEndless Mine - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 [OST]YouTube video by DeoxysPrime 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I really like the Wolf Knight/Sage hairstyle for girl Alear, the ponytail rules. 040
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 06/08/2026It is a bit funny that the only problem to have with Zodiark is where the aether would come from if you wanted to swap Ascian souls out of him. Like if they took it slow and skimmed the Aetherial Sea for extra like Venat did for the Mothercrystal, there'd be no conflict. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Sometimes you get a team that wins before you even start the game up. 050
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I'm still in awe that the first zone's big dungeon at the end had a minimum entry requirement of 16 people, and the first boss has a 24 person body check or else it wipes you. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Star Wars Dark Forces IV: Jedi Knight III: Jedi Outcast II: Jedi Academy 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Undine also does that in Megami Tensei II in 1990, the combo remake of 1 and 2 on SNES (Kyuyaku Megami Tensei) kicks ass. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I feel like they'll make the Turks the Floor 4 boss because it'd be super easy to add a Savage phase where they add in Tseng or have all of them fighting at once instead of in duos. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 22/07/2026That's incredible! I love the coloring on it, especially on the hair against the backdrop of the cape. 110
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 22/07/2026And if it's like Bayo, summoning them means always losing his clothes and body hair in front of them already... 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 22/07/2026They were surprisingly nice about it, mistletoe scales off the total of your stats instead of just str. 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 21/07/2026They've trained themselves to see "the curtains are blue to represent the melancholy of the setting" as "the curtains are blue" and need a metatextual reason instead. 080
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 19/07/2026They even added a recurring green guy who wants to hatefuck Zero. 120
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I think a lot of people who streamed it really burned themselves out doing it in one sitting not expecting it'd be 8-10 hours too. 0160
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 17/07/2026If you end up liking how the story's structured and treats the characters/time management, definitely worth checking out Growlanser IV for PSP sometime too. Made by the same team down to the directors and writers back when they were Career Soft and you can feel it. 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 17/07/2026SMT Nioh 2 and they reskin every monster summon as coming from a COMP 020
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Watching friends try to take this path is spiritually the feeling of seeing a kid reach the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Something really unique on release was it came out episodically, but only a week between each release. They had a lot of fun letting people sit with cliffhangers for each chapter end. 010
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The nice thing is Atsuro and Yuzu let you see real good physical/magical builds, so you always have someone to use the moves you didn't build for and make you go "oh shit that works I could've done that too" 000
Blank @deepblank.bsky.social · 16/07/2026If you like that soundtrack, definitely worth checking out Wild Arms 5's too. Same composer and he swung for the fences with a lot of genres in it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS19...youtube.comWild Arms 5 OST Music - A Muzzle Dancing in HatredYouTube video by PhantomBrave7 130
