Main progression block being combat so beast and mist; and to lesser degree animal domination ended up being the best picks. Social skill can replace the rest. I just have no interest in doing second run due to how limited the quest and conflict resolution ended up being.

Best to look Nighthawks as a Vampire CYOA rather than a RPG. It gave me what I want: A story of fledgling vampire rise to power. It hits most of the emotional beat that I recommend it but I'm pretty sure people won't be as tolerant as me regarding to the more railroady moment.

Just cheat through it. The game is another case of "Get something videogame shaped out with what we have". The sequel has a very special route that anyone with interest in RPG should play.

I think adding goal tiers up to Clear Shadowbringer will set you up for a year

Do yourself a favor and look up maps for certain endgame quest. The whole thing is designed to waste your time.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

You mostly grind in Shadowrun (Genesis) seeing as most of your expense during the endgame is travel cost to certain place where you either need to deal with bureaucracy or rerunning dungeon. Corpo raids are not worth it and you mostly do it to do in-field hacking to get the real money.

The best thing it did being making Cross Ange palatable. I don't mind the lenient difficulty seeing as there's some neat difficulty spike here and there like the Mazinger Zero stage and the final true ending fight. The later being a problem if you park non dodgy unit near the boss spawn.

SRW V can be summed up with "Yamato 2199: Also The OG Pilot is There". I don't think they executed the setup that is Gardim being the evil mirror of the expedition quite well. Though it reveals how the world keeps spawning Space Gods. its fine on the OG material side, hard to top Setsuko Worst Year.

You should give the Arc the Lad series a look. Just the PS1 trilogy should suffice.

Hero Senki is not great. A bloated and shallow RPG that launched in the same year as FF5 and DQ5. There's a reason the only FAQ about this game starts with the cheat codes. You mostly play this for the background of Gilliam and some gag and emotional bits that surprisingly hits.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

The bump is due to the usual "limited" banner weeks. Though seeing as we're weeks away from the Albert Camus chapter update, I'm seeing lapsed players trying to catch up now that you can just stomp through content with the late season units.

So 2045 collabed with Girls Frontline, it did the fun stuff of "We'll just ignore 99% of that show, you get to shoot Purin". Essentially Section 9 is just something that exist in the setting and the GFL protag is the Togusa of the incident. It's pretty much Kuze's everyone gets uploaded plan again.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

The entertaining cast made the padding and budget dungeon tolerable. Then again you can just play on Normal if you find Hard too damage spongy. Honestly the proper RPG fight was mostly during Royal Knights and Deadly Sins endgame case.

34 hours due to cheating in exp and stats item so that's most of the training friction gone. Making def pierce mons mandatory really hurts the team variation in the end. Though there's some interesting encounter solver like Ulforceveemon and Jesmon.

The game can't handle Yakumo, Torment Blast, and Yakumo with Torment Blast. So having two of those in a team pretty much solved the combat.

Unfortunately, the most memorable part of Code Vein is That One Cathedral despite being the Bene Gesserit Painbox of Exploration Challenge. I understand why the sequel is effectively a reboot seeing as you can't just reuse the big reveal of this being a secret spinoff.

So playing the FFV Advance bonus dungeon was a mistake, I can see why it's not a thing in the future version. It turns me from wanting to replay the game with the less broken ability to not wanting to see the game for a while. Cleared all the pixel FF with this, excepting the IV After Years.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Decided to play some compilation. Played the meter game, 4 jumping games, and 6 neutral games. Granted its all arcade run so it's not practical for actual fight. The whole thing was an exercise on how to outcheese the AI, who obviously cheated.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

The Grand Edition made the final fight requirement more reasonable. In that you just need to annex every non allied kingdom. There's a common problem where people thought this is something that you can do in the US version, not realizing that got dummied out. The guides didn't think to specify this

010

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Brigandine Grand Edition caught me unprepared with the fact that you can just run from the final boss and return later to fight a weakened roster. Really should have seen this coming with how the game emphasizes that you can win the war if you can flatline a high tier unit in a battle that you lose.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

For power progression you only have Suikoden style weapon upgrade and magic system that I didn't get to touch because I guess your unit need to die for it? The whole plot is your usual introductory core RPG book module. "There's a wizard. Go stab him" and the rest you can fit in a pamphlet.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

The idea of Asuncia is to be this procedural tabletop campaign. It didn't quite got it and we get something that is technically RPG. Effectively you're supposed to clear the map from monster and clear each dungeon if you want the true ending.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

#girlsfrontline finale is something that I really recommend to play through. The emotional climax is designed for you to experience yourself. I really wish the conversation here is something that we all can read before the sequel. At least there's stage skip now. If you want to play this as a VN.

Go read the unlocked logs from part 2 branch stage if you haven't.

And yeah his character arc still holds up to this day. Mostly played this to get confirmation on whether we actually get Berserker Enkidu in this timeline. Which the game actually confirmed during the SG2 bit.

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Even if you don't care about franchise and willing to cheat the combat part, I really recommend giving Fate/Extra CCC Gilgamesh Route a run. It's the run where you're more likely to die from saying the wrong thing to the dude and even the Big Bad repeatedly tries to bribe you to stop using him.

In the mood for high sea adventure so I finished the Uncharted Waters New Horizons campaign that I didn't get around to finishing. To combat campaign you can finish in 1-2 sitting. The exploration-mercantile one will have you chug through some sawdust due to the rep grind. Still holds up.

It's pretty much 3DO lifeline after their console failure. Of course said release schedule also killed it as a series.

Yes. It's back to their difficulty balance of Too Easy <> Punch Your Teeth In and nothing in between those. Personally it gave me reason to get weird with my units (like giving stunner more value). They're implementing new stuff like tile combo and weapon type buff so its going to get weirder

rap92 @yasmard.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

There's Heroic Mode now for story progression where they start getting violent, like a boss that moves twice per turn and enemies that will ramp up and wipe the team if you dare to let it live for more than one turn. Doesn't apply to the current event Heroic tho, the banner unit solves it.
