rare weapon drop on the first quest that can't be a good sign

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

world 2 is the unbeloved middle child of the game, experience gain has been increased...kind of, but the gold obtained from battles stays the same, while the stuff you need to use it for keeps getting more and more expensive

o-okay, i always thought it was weird that arms had a bunch of passive skills that deal extra damage to late game enemies in the original campaign and one of them was hannies, i completely understand now

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

really didn't like rance quest the first time playing it but now that i understand how it works i'm having fun, looking forward to the second and third loops making me change my mind again

glad to see the dw3 demo has some of the most granular customization options i've seen in a remake with a stage that's completely fucking unfair, this one might be a winner

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

not 100% sure if i understand the question but i don't think i've seen as dramatic a fissure regarding the use of kusoge in japanese and english, even the "so bad it's good" aspect isn't culturally specific by any means

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

i know im one to talk when it comes to abusing loanwords but, like, if you mean lesbian romance then just say lesbian romance

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

think i've accepted that yuri (japanese) and yuri (english) don't mean the same thing but i still don't like it

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

the exploits in these games tend to be more popular (because they're a lot more fun) but old rpgs are filled with banal programming errors that end up significantly impacting the game balance

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

"man i miss when video games used to be released as COMPLETE PRODUCTS" (points to a game where it took the developer four versions to realize that the magic defense stat didn't do anything)

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

personally want to believe that the oversight with the wind element was added to the game on purpose just to fuck with people

000

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

retrospective analyses of ff7 inevitably fall back on the cliche of "this game hasn't aged well" which i think is unfair, this game would've been fucked up jank back in 1997 too

110

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

though as per usual status effects are more or less useless because every boss is immune to any of the potentially helpful ones

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

wonder if this is one of the games that made jrpg fans think that buffs are useless haven't gotten a single buff or status effect spell like 8 hours in

i mean in terms of design philosophy it kind of is chrono trigger on steroids but

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

the presentation really is stunning though there's a reason why discussion of psx rpgs tends to start at ff7 despite being released two years into the console's life, it feels like a generational shift rather than an snes game on performance enhancing drugs

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

i've tried 😔 deadass been trying to get through fc for the past, like, seven years

011

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

ff7 is also an excellent demonstration of why so many ps1 games had tank controls

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

got sick of being addicted to gacha so i'm trying to find a console rpg to get into it's unfortunate that i'd probably love the 90s final fantasy games if it wasn't for the atb lmao

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

lb7 is a spit in the face to people who started the game 2 months, over which there've been, like, two support character banners

010

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

look im just saying i wouldve played this game years ago if anyone told me the muscular blonde girl eats people

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

even without bullshit lostbelt gimmicks berserker bosses have enough hp that they stop functioning as glass cannons, meanwhile as the story progresses they do more and more damage while your servants' health values stay the same

000

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

none of the aforementioned tradeoffs apply to enemy berserkers incidentally

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

all of the scenarios from nasu in fgo (excluding fuyuki) have been genuinely really good but i still don't think they compare to his eroge one of his biggest strengths as a writer is the psychological depth of his protagonists, deciding to spend 20 years writing silent protag rpgs was a...choice

040

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

don't know if this is an issue with the device i'm playing on but the game will regularly stop to load for an amount of time just long enough to be kinda annoying it's manageable for story content but it's torture for grinding lol

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

on paper it sounds like a lot of thought went into this, in practice i imagine that most people will probably rely on berserkers while going through the story content because of how much of a pain in the ass it is to level up servants for every specific class niche lol

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

they have a relatively high class damage multiplier but a pathetic critical hit rate, not helped by a 1.5x class advantage multiplier compared to the 2.0x multiplier from more "proper" class advantages

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

berserkers are one of the most...interesting parts of fgo's game design they have a attack advantage against almost every class in the game, but almost every class in the game also has an attack advantage against them

110

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

funnily i didn't want to roll swimsuit beni at all when she was released because i thought that her first skill was annoying now she's probably my most used character and i'm regretting the fact she's only at np1

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

learning about castoria looping has made my gameplay experience smoother and also significantly worse

110

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

honestly youd barely even be able to tell lb3 was written by urobuchi if it wasnt for the part where a woman gets tortured

101

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

the premise of lb3 is completely incoherent, just because a naturally-occurring poison comes from a different timeline doesn't mean that it'd work under completely different mechanisms than regular poisons, how does our resident cokehead not know this

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

emiya alter is certainly one of the characters of all time

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

got to the ccc event and remembered that at some point between 2004 and 2013 nasu went completely insane

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

completely lost track of the plot like 20 hours ago so i dont understand why the woman who showed up in a couple of chapters with usso near the beginning of the game now seems to be on five different types of adderall at once

000

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

apparently late-game real robot enemies get all the mobility benefits without any of the fragility or firepower issues that your units have

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

everyone in babylonia mocks merlin for being useless but he's the best guest character so far lol

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

the digital nature of gacha games gives them access to design tools for player retention and investment that a physical game doesn't have: daily log-in bonuses, stamina systems, story modes, etc.

120

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

a feature that pulls up the exact same servants you'd choose if you'd tried to do the battle properly a few times and gave up like i guess i cant complain about the game incentivizing me to spam draco's np on every boss fight but

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

what baffles me about the friend point system is, like you get a significant boost for using guest servants, which makes sense, because they tend to be worse but there's also a boost for using "recommended" servants for some boss battles

100

Fayacaesu @fayacaesu.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

okay but have you considered that three kingdoms and the sengoku period happening at the same time is fucking sick
