With all that's been said, note that a growing sentiment is that the story of Midnight is just as bad if not worse. Because SL at least has the context of a massive shitstorm behind the scenes + pandemic conditions, Midnight has no excuse other than them refusing to admit when they shit the bed.

I hope FW has done well enough that they let the director do the FE6 remake he wanted to make. Because Cai and his friends especially all scream FE6

Still no sign of ME5, but we got a funny new iteration of "you don't get it Asari are mono-gendered, they aren't just sexy blue alien babes bro"

Magic got this on multiple fronts. "Play boosters" being renamed to just "boosters" in an article where they talk about how they're removing 3 cards from them because people in pack opening videos skip over them.

What about the card is unintuitive

Starting around Ch 10 the game will let you know about them and there will be quest NPCs around the city who will start the paralogues

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
There isn't a bad order. And the main thing about Dietrich is that he has access to nearly every paralogue. They can be a pain if you don't plan a little carefully once they show up, but you also just need to be sure to complete them in any route so it's not a dealbreaker to miss them in one route.

Right now Hunter seems like the go-to class for soloing, especially now that bears get an ability that lets them hold aggro on multiple mobs

No it was pretty bad, but just as you'll always find people who hate anything Pokemon there is a contingent of people who are convinced everything is great. You'll find defenders of BDSP and that's a 3d skin layered on top of a DS game that somehow introduced a ton more bugs.

It has the funniest villain of all time. Man couldn't wait a day to solve something that might be a problem 1000 years from now.

It's like how in Digimon they technically still have their Japanese names and Izzy and Matt and such are "nicknames" (that everybody, including their family, will exclusively use to refer to them as)

Managed to crack Primal Rage emulation, man just out here doing side quests

Fortune's Weave has some mechanics later to allow units to catch up, so I would just try to use her sparingly until then and see if that extra bit of help smooths out whatever the issue is

Unless something changes at the 11th hour Townfall is getting dogwalked by SH1, a game from 27 years ago, in terms of making the nurse character multifaceted and integral on both a narrative and thematic level to what's happening

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
My first guess would be this is about Lara

Big difference between being stalked by one scary enemy and your character is helpless and being stalked by five enemies in an enclosed space and you're helpless

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Just from watching the stream I think they hit a sour spot of not giving you the usual tools of a more action-oriented stealth game (from the light action of Thief to the heavier action emphasis of MGS) while also not being enemy light in the way an Amnesia typically is

Around the pond near Shu's house are a bunch of flowers people believe to be White Claudia, but I don't remember if that ever got any confirmation.

Decided to peek in to see how things were going and LK was crashing out over them nerfing Axl for no reason while keeping Ram the same. Funny to see Arcsys balancing now also being tied to a shitty season pass model
010
Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
And then is the one that seemed to be chugging along while Pennyblood couldn't even secure further funding, that game must have just exploded a while ago and they haven't told anybody.

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Yes that's definitely an impression of the early game alright
000
Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
It sucks that people are latching onto the one quote, not realizing that earlier Atelier means Salburg and Gramnad (prior to them trying to reach a male demographic with Iris and MK) and not whatever games they've heard of and vaguely think they know about.

The Dusk style of things (a game-long subplot about going into hotsprings with a young child, complete with Hotsprings Ending CG)

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
How could you include such filth (one of my formative manga was Ichigo 100% right around when it ended, made my teenage brain go "woah, ecchi manga can also be about characters making a movie and coming of age by finding passion in art?")

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Which sucks to say because Koide and the rest of the directors did amazing work on the show's visual storytelling, it just gets drowned out by the poor scripting lol

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
For me it all comes back to nobody on the writing team having any prior anime writing experience (and 2 of the 3 having no experience whatsoever). It has the hallmarks of a first time writer's handling of metaphor, ie blunt, simplistic, repetitive, and prone to screw-ups that twist the intent.
120
Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
I think an earlier moment when the show went "you must use your fish knife and kill the one you love, Mari, to save us" was when they jumbled up what they were going for metaphorically lol

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
The biggest thing to me is the combination of time management, movement on a giant ass map, one save file, and inconsistent auto-saves. It's a recipe to make people feel bad

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Besides what's been mentioned, you shouldn't worry about trying to recruit everybody because at the end of the day there's only so many slots for maps. Find some characters you like and give them gifts/have meals with them, but otherwise don't worry about it.

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
The closest would probably be SoV, making a bunch of unique stuff for all the baby Ram Villagers was cool

"Economic ecosystems" slithering into the end of that sentence like Satan

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
The trailer might be them dropping Juliet into an environment full of stuff they bought off the Unity Asset Store while there's zero incidental dialogue and generic music plays. But there's panty shots and boob jiggle so we call that a win

No AI used during development (nobody said anything about pre-production concepting though, which they've also gone in-depth about using AI for)

Take all the time you need, the announcement of that full series Ace Attorney playthrough will be worth it

It's kinda a better P3P OP than P3P's actual OP full of reused animation and generic geometric shapes

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Why didn't they simply make the game twice and completely scrap their new Linked Episode feature since the FeMC already has the S. Links for the whole team?

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
They also realized they've run retail into the ground and will be rebooting it after the next expansion
020
Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
There's always been some retail vs. classic tribalism. But it's especially bad now that retail is on an 8 week patch cycle that results in everything being broken on launch and retail players need an outlet

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Was pretty transparent from episode 3 when Lara wasn't able to realize what her exact feelings for Mari were (despite what the ending of episode 2 seemed to imply, but that's a whole other thing about the show). But I'm glad doomers can finally sit down

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
With that Miyamoto quote on the Mario movies about using the movies to establish firmer backstories for the games, I honestly think it's just called LoZ because it's intended as a baseline every game going forward is going to be built off of (so in Miyamoto's brain a subtitle would dilute that)

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I'm not sure if we know this yet, but I wonder if Naoto has curse and bless attacks now. Because it was funny in Golden how, after figuring out how popular she was, their recourse for making her a good party member was to instead give her every element and a super buff.

It's funny to me that based on the achievement name what people thought was a world hint in an earlier trailer wasn't a hint at all

Mr. Charley @mrcharley.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Impossible to leak achievements when what your game's about and how it plays changes every time Ken plays a new game. He's done it again

Story-driven action game with characters that have realistic proportions? No, Famicom slop forever

They're actually doing something with Unanxb that's crazy
