I remember there was something about resetting your classes levels to gain an item and more stats overall, so you had to go to Lv99, then back to 1 and then back to 99 but with increased stat growth or something

crystal bramble
while true, do you wanna?
ornate mortar
Glad to hear
crystal bramble
I rater get the alchemy list to 100% and then use seeds
which all go to Yangus anyway
because he is the best boy
little tree
while true, do you wanna?
no yeah it's a real hassle, even in dq3 with thieves 💀 pure masochism
crystal bramble
I mean I have my notes anyway
which lists which items I need
and how much quantity
for both Ps2 and 3ds
little tree
reminds me of the treasure hunter achievement for ff13
crystal bramble
So when the 3Ds version was new
there was no guide for it
so I took the old Ps2 guide
and updated it along the way
took me.. 120 hours iirc?
little tree
just checked, on average, dq11 for the msq only, you only truly finish it by around 90 to 100h, taking your time and all
man I should replay 11 someday
little tree
took me.. 120 hours iirc?
seems decent
I remember a friend saying that the early postgame for 8 was very brutal at first
crystal bramble
I still only played the demo back on Switch 1, not because I didn't like it, heck I'm a huge DQ8 fan and 11 hits all the right spots, but because I either didn't had the money
or something else was going on
crystal bramble
I remember a friend saying that the early postgame for 8 was very brutal at firs...
yes and no
if you preper a bit, you can clear the post game area in a decent pace
but the developers expected you to be lv.80+
little tree
figures
crystal bramble
but for the final dungeon added to the 3Ds version you have to be max level
little tree
oh there's more on the 3ds
crystal bramble
yes
one character (spoilers for stal if she ever decides to play 8) gets a proper conclusion
it's ||Angelo||
also a new ending
little tree
looks like I have to replay both
I have so few memories of 8 on ps2, all blurry aside from the music
crystal bramble
the new ending you can only do if you did the normal ending first
if you wanna know
in the new ending you ||marry Jessica instead of your childhood princess friend||
little tree
ohh yeah I think I heard about that
crystal bramble
oh and the two new party members added to the 3Ds version are a lot of fun to use
also to this.. yes DQ9 is insane for 100% completion
also very lonely if you don't do multiplayer
little tree
yeah
Back then, some of the boys of my childhood village bought the game after seeing me play it
We did some dungeon crawling together
but I did most of it alone
I vividly remember searching for ages for those silly moai for the luminary unlock quest
crystal bramble
I never got the game sadly, first because I never had a DS on my own, I used my mothers DS to play stuff like Pokemon Black 1 and 2, and two.. no one was interested in the first place from the people I knew
little tree
If dq9 made a comeback during the pandemic, it would surely have boomed
I really can't wait to see what they'll do with the eventual remake
dq9 is a really special game for me
crystal bramble
thinking about it.. I also never experienced the KH 358/2 days multiplayer.. I 100% completed the game solo.
and I never used the mingle option in TWEWY with other people
well.. to be fair.. TWEWY is niche so..
little tree
you can tell these games were firstly designed for the jp market with these things
you'd hardly think (for my case) that some random boy from a random tiny village of France would find much people to play these games with
crystal bramble
yeah, as seen with the horrible mirage arena from KH birth by sleep.
little tree
the street pass would've been a dead feature with those circumstances too
little tree
yeah, as seen with the horrible mirage arena from KH birth by sleep.
n i g h t m a r e
well I dislike bbs for many other reasons too, but yeah, same stuff
really designed with multiplayer in mind
the original ff type-0 was the same if I'm not wrong, which they managed to tweak for the remaster
but playing og type-0 was apparently brutal on solo
crystal bramble
oh BBS is easily the low point of the franchise for me personally.. well for Aqua.. slightly better for Terra because I actually enjoy his gameplay outside of mysterious figure.. and I have a huge soft spot for Ventus
little tree
I actually prefer playing Aqua, Ventus would be my second, but I absolutely despise playing as Terra 😭
I'd rather 100% re:com than playing bbs sometimes
crystal bramble
oh.. let me just say
I have opinions about the KH franchise
that would get me killed
crystal bramble
nah, just for the surface level: KH1 is still the best KH game of them all, RE:Coded has the best gameplay of the command deck system, CoM is amazing (RE:CoM not so much.)
little tree
man I should try the og com someday
I didn't know what a kingdom hearts was back when I had a gba
crystal bramble
oh and I'm like.. one of two? three? people
who love the Dream Eater theme
yes the lalala theme
crystal bramble
exactly, it's cute
little tree
I don't mind it either tbh
actually I don't think there's a single kh track that irritates me or anything
I like some more than others of course, but none that I actively dislike
crystal bramble
the other 130 hours are from 2 KH2 playthroughs, one for 100% stuff, one for lv.1, and the rest is RE:CoM 100% completion
little tree
soon™ (only bbs 100% left, but I took a break)
crystal bramble
you did the speedrun thing that way?
I mean I did it on Ps3 back in the day, alongside the no equipment change, and I wanted it to do again on Steam
however, I made a series of fun fact videos for anothe rserver
and when I recorded the final boss
little tree
man the speedrun + no equipment change was really fun
little tree
iirc I managed to do it in around 4 or 5 hours last time
I'd really like to spend some time learning proper speedruns for kh1 and 2 someday
crystal bramble
I think I mentioned it in this server before
but guess my KH1 play time in total
like all versions
from Ps2 to today
crystal bramble
I'd really like to spend some time learning proper speedruns for kh1 and 2 somed...
the only time bothered with fast times was for the KH2 randomizer back when emulator was the main way to do it
then I got bored
crystal bramble
correct
little tree
20000h doesn't sound unrealistic either
little tree
a
I'm nowhere close, since I lost physical access to my childhood memories at some point
I could only get into it much later
crystal bramble
I didn't lose memories
but I lost the Ps2
and the many memory cards
with many.. many save files
which were all unique
little tree
I did get back into kh in full back in high school
crystal bramble
because I tried everything that came to my mind with KH1
little tree
or was it just the end of of middle school, well, somehwere around that time
little tree
because I tried everything that came to my mind with KH1
the days when we got very few games and really played the same ones over and over again
crystal bramble
in my case it was just my comfort game for the longest time
escape-ism
it still is my comfort game
little tree
mine must've been ff13 and dissidia
ah and dq9
something happened to both my copies of dq9 and pokémon b&w where I lended my copies to a friend
I had clearly told him to not reset my saves
the next week, my saves were gone
crystal bramble
man that sucks
little tree
but it was fine, because I had a tendency to restart my saves anyway
crystal bramble
I love new game.. but that's when I decide to start over
little tree
I must have replayed dq9 a couple times on my own already back then
kept making a different mc with a different name
crystal bramble
ah fair enough
I personally just don't enjoy New Game + modes
I rather start from 0 again
little tree
oh ye that's what I did, no ng+ in dq9
full reset everytime
I didn't know what internet was back then, so save editors, online quests etc, I had no access to them
crystal bramble
funny thing is
everytime I replay a game to 100%, especially KH2, I say "eh I will cheat the stuff, I did it legit hundrends of time"
only for me to do it legit once again
little tree
the ride just gets you
I'm doing the same for Bravely Default yet again
must be the third time I'm playing it in like 2 years
funny thing about my 100% for re:com, I was working on Riku's save file, but at some point, I saved over Sora's
crystal bramble
Oh no
little tree
so I just completed Riku's, then I went back and speedran Sora's save anew
luckily I was about to get my progress back the same day I erased it
but the lobotomy for reaching max level with both, hoo boy
surprisingly, I even went above and beyond and got the 2 extra cards that are not needed for the 100%
crystal bramble
So fun fact about my 100% save file.. the Pirate Heartless card refused to drop for 6 hours.. I went from lv.55 to like 70-75 lmao
little tree
because by that point, after everything, I was like "heh, why wouldn't I"
ayyy you got them too
crystal bramble
yeah
little tree
I had to rng manip those cards man
crystal bramble
I got the moogle point achievement also by grinding for them instead of selling the cards
little tree
there was no way I'd mindlessly grind for hours and hope for it to drop normally
re:com's rng manip is so silly
that one achievement for editing decks is so weird too, like, what's the point of doing it that many times 😭
crystal bramble
I did it without. For Riku's max level I just had put on something on in the background
little tree
Riku's max level was a real special kind of lobotomy
Sora you can just megaflare your way out of it
but Riku
crystal bramble
for Sora I used the storm sleight
crystal bramble
I got the moogle point achievement also by grinding for them instead of selling ...
also in my notes
little tree
I was crazy enough to just focus on the game so that it would go faster, nothing in the background... I can still hear the Castle Oblivion's regular and battle themes on loop in my head
I think megaflare and warp were my most used sleights
I will always be amazed by how easy it is to break the game very early on with magic cards
blizzaga and firaga were crazy
- the Jaffar enemy card, holey moley
crystal bramble
CoM you can also break, but it will still put up a challenge.. meanwhile over at Re:CoM..
crystal bramble
I used a aero sleight deck against Marluxia
anything that used aero in a sleight was in that deck
and holy.
little tree
one thing I'm really thankful for re:com especially is marly
because of this
og com didn't have it iirc
crystal bramble
Lord of the Castle is a very good final boss theme
nope phase 3 didn't exist
but it didn't need to
little tree
ye
crystal bramble
phase 1 and 2 were much much harder in CoM
little tree
i need to try, for my own curiosity
but not before I'm done completing every game
I'm actually excited to replay 0.2
||mirror aqua|| are fun fights
little tree
the sprites look so good in this game
that'd be crazy to get another game that uses this style at some point, maybe for a world or something
crystal bramble
little helpful tip if, and only if, you go for 100% CoM
this one drops.
was removed in Re:CoM
little tree
huh
crystal bramble
CoM had multiplayer
little tree
oh
ok
i was wondering if the AI worked differently based on your deck
I know MF in bbs has something like that if you bring too much cure spells
crystal bramble
don't mash too fast, otherwise you crash the game
crystal bramble
yeah if you mash too fast during that attack
you crash the game
something similar happens in Paper Mario 64, if you use a certain attack you have to press the button that is on the screen
if you are too fast
it crashes the game
little tree
damn, I was mashing that swordbill with my life on the line against ||Vanitas|| but nothing happened
or is it exclusively on MF
crystal bramble
Good question, it's been a few years since I seen the crash
crystal bramble
damn, I was mashing that swordbill with my life on the line against ||Vanitas|| ...
which one?
little tree
every form
little tree
not that one
haven't done it yet in my saves
what I did was to play the game on critical first for the secret episode
crystal bramble
you know the cheese strat?
little tree
then I restarted on beginner to make the process faster
little tree
you know the cheese strat?
I might've forgotten
crystal bramble
oh I did 100% completion on critical back in Ps3 days
little tree
I remember you could use sleep and let Mickey do stuff for one of the normal fights
crystal bramble
the worst part was the mario party minigame
little tree
command board my nightmare
actually, they're ok
at the beginning
then it gets worse
crystal bramble
for the superboss version you do: ||go behind a certain rock, lock on to him, if he runs towards the rock you just use strike raid.. and he will still be on the other side of the rock, so you just loop||
crystal bramble
I mean with BBS you can't do much
Re:Coded is pretty figured out how much you can do in there
DDD however.. there, to my knowledge, only one player who really learned the mechanics of the game
and you can do some crazy stuff
little tree
I know who you mean
funny how we got one crazy player for almost every game
kh2 got yachi nanase, kh3 got maka chop, 3d got that one guy I forgot the name
crystal bramble
for DDD I only know of usagi
little tree
yes
usagi
back in they day we had kyosuke for kh2, often with mods
but when you compare to what yachi does, it's not even comparable
yachi is on some crack
crystal bramble
many people sadly only look to guides or speedrun strats and copy them
very little own gameplay
little tree
both are fine depending on what you want to do imo
but coming up with your own sauce, especially for kh2 and limitcut
that's that dr.peuhppa
meanwhile I make absent silouhette marly loop his dm back to back to back 💀 i'm washed
crystal bramble
I did use double arrow guns for my data fights in KH3, especially aero because they would just spin around
little tree
crystal bramble
so I used firaga afterwards
little tree
I was a bit sad because just before, I had a much cleaner and faster run, but I choked around the end and got hit
next time I'm doing Lv1, I'm attempting AS as early as possible
little tree
god bless hero's crest and air combo boost
little tree
damn ok
little tree
I really like that about kh2 how you don't just replace your keyblades
crystal bramble
I just recorded it for someone else
little tree
they get use depending on different scenarios

somehow she's the one that gave me the most trouble
I was desperately trying not to rc her
damn I didn't know you could get her that way, very chill strat
ok the chicken little into goofy limit was pretty sick
i kneel
i go full wacko bananas
crystal bramble
so when someone else watched it, they htought Donald was broken because he never healed me.. I have to explain
I deactivate Donald-Cure
every KH2 run I do
it's the one ability I always turn off
crystal bramble
||https://streamable.com/47btao||
that was clean though
little tree
reflect really is one of the spells
i thought it was sloppy, but I wasn't exactly sure of when her revenge value would trigger
crystal bramble
do or die
oh not because of that, you see it in the Larxene fight, yes Donald and Goofy only do chip damage against bosses and large enemies, however everytime Donald uses a spell, especially fire, he is immune to damage
little tree
oh i see
that's smart
usually I only leave thunder of donald
but recently I've been trying fire
didn't realise he had iframes during it
crystal bramble
when someone else played Lv.1 crit, he defeated Demyx after many trials, and then I send him this and he thought I was just foolin around int he beginning
little tree
man that goofy limit cracks me up everytime
noble falcon
being reminded that I should beat untold 1 already so I can move to untold 2 in proper just cause I see a fanart of a character from EO untold 2
also I just remembered I do have some of the extra stuff I got cause I bought em thru ebay
the soundtrack CDs and stuff
crystal bramble
man that goofy limit cracks me up everytime
So.. you were not quite wrong with me and thinking I find KH2 mid
It's not bad
but
I do like to make fun of the game
a lot.
little tree
this one's funny

crystal bramble
little tree
ok funny thing, when I did rucksack, he never prompted the rc for the steal
like at all
for a moment I thought it was only for his data fight
crystal bramble
nope, it's based on how many moves he did
if you beat him into his 2nd phase he will do it much much later
or never sometimes
little tree
i kept triggering his rv almost everytime
trinity is stupid on him too
but ye, no stealing
crystal bramble
this one's funny

Again, that was pretty good, been a while since I've done the AS fight with anything from late game since it's the fight that suffers the most from reflect being reflect

put on a 20 hour movie and grind away
little tree
funny how in kh1 we had stop+gravity that were arguably just as broken
crystal bramble
nothing in the brain
crystal bramble
reflect is one of the spells for sure
it's the reason why I really don't care too much about KH2.. yes you can play without reflect, but it's very obvious the developers balanced the data fights around it
little tree
data mansex p2 is very reflect abusable with his orbs
crystal bramble
and the AS fights too.. I know it's possible to beat Zexion right after Demyx / pre Pete in Olympus
but man
the fight was not fun that way

there's that TAS lv1 cor+data fights where the guy just melts him while abusing the reflegas while sitting next to the orbs
i really like the reflect+slapshot combo tho

ah I skipped to the xemnas one, it's combo master
makes reflect really fun to use
crystal bramble
i already finished 2 movies doing this, trying to get my party from 35 to 50
oh dear lord
little tree
makes reflect really fun to use
ye xemnas 1 is really nice for this too
sephiroth allows the combo too, i've been using him as a practice dummy for that
crystal bramble
last video I will post before I go slowly to bed
so.. the other person who did their lv.1 run
said something to the effect of that valor form is cool
not good
just cool in general
and I remembered another video from way back when, that talked about the brady games strategy guide..
so what is the best option for xigbar in lv.1?
little tree
ooo antiform gaming
little tree
thank god it happened at the end
crystal bramble
also yes, if you notice Donald's weapon, you can get save the queen pre Xigbar.
little tree
xigbar, or how to abuse horizontal slash/berserk charge/duck flare
you don't see valor often on him tho
little tree
the most exotic thing I saw was wisdom via yachi
but yachi is on crack so does it even count
crystal bramble
Mastet Form (the most fun form in game) or Final form where you use firaga until you hit the ground and then attack again with normal attacks
little tree
master form is peak indeed
the story mob fights are very nice with it
even the CoR
man I love the CoR, actually my favourite part of every kh2 run
crystal bramble
Depends for me
the final forced fight is..
on lv.1 a thing.
so many cheap deaths
little tree
with the sorcerers?
crystal bramble
yes
crystal bramble
Genie and Stitch worked overtime
little tree
- dancers waiting for you below
chicken little saved me a bunch against the berserkers that make you unlock limit form
genie is one of the summons i use the least because i still haven't taken the time to properly assimilate what it does
and I know how cool he can be for those fights
crystal bramble
Port Royal 1st visit, also known as "who would win, real world pirates or a cartoon chicken"
little tree
the ship battles are those I like the least 💀
but I never thought of using the chicken there
I should try
crystal bramble
most used summon during a playthrough is chicken little, I usually prefer having Donald and Goofy
if we go for 100%
it's Stitch because of the tournaments
crystal bramble
ukulele playing every round for points
well.. I also use stitch during the a certain fight in space paranoids where you have 2 minutes to stop the system
because you can grind massive exp there, not relevant for lv.1
but makes level up playthroughs fun
little tree
oh yeah that fight, I always wait until the last second because of that too
for form grinding on the way too

at least the Tokyo team is still cooking up bangers to this day 🙏 but still very puzzling how we don't even get some form of ports for the psp originals
even weirder how they would double down the slow death of Dissidia with yet another mobage using another's template, but what do I know

any VN connoisseurs got any nice vn suggestions to follow on from muv luv?
Was thinking a lot about it recently and I need something as good as that to despairmax again
little tree
I want to say mahoyo/witch on the holy night but it's entirely biased because it is my favourite vn
shell slate
pentiment is kinda cool its more roguelike vn from my understanding and the cool part is that depending on the education level of the person ur talking to they change the font
so if ur pov u meet the person and they sseem dumb its like chicken scratch
but then u find out they are a priest
it will erase the text and change it to some greek orthodox text
cool narrative
wise spire
I just want something that'll make me feel as much as I did getting through Muv Luv unlimited and alternative 
little tree
read mahoyo as if you were in 2012 and imagine the wait for the fabled mahoyo 2 that we are still waiting for to this day, absolute peak despairmax in a sense 
if you care about the visuals, I'll say, coupled with its prose, it is considered as one of the prettiest vns in the market
wise spire
im not bothered about visuels more so than the actual story

speaking of prose, it does take some time explaining some important concepts here and there, but the pay off is really nice

this tune from muv luv alternative brings me to tears every time I gear it lmao ...
oh wow
in the whole of type-moon and the nasuverse, mahoyo is often labelled as the best and most important entry (I'd say I agree, knowing its history before being an actual vn)
little tree
for the format, mahoyo is quite simple, as you don't have choices, it's just a kinetic novel
there are however side stories in an extra tab, and one of them does have some branches
the extra stuff ranges from elements that further some characters views on many things, be it simple things of the worlds, random occurrences of their daily lives, which are nice additions between the main chapters

idc about choices tbh. ML:A is 200 hours of consequences set up in the first 2 games. if the writing is there thne i am

you will be served then 
it's rather short too, around 30 to 40h iirc
I should reread it soon
wise spire
i like loooong tho

well, in the same branches, you'd get Fate and Tsukihime, but Tsukihime is a bit of a special case, since there's both the original and the remake, and the latter did not get ported to pc yet

Do you prefer stand alone vn or is half game fine too?
Utawarerumono and tears to tiara 2 are great and lengthy

i just want a vn thats oging to take me on a journey and leave me empty

if it's really crying games, mahoyo shouldn't make you cry for what it has to tell :x
wise spire
i do own utawarerumono trilogy and monochrom mobius
i only played prelude so far and i didnt finish it. i should
modest cipher
Utawarerumono is pretty peak
Trying to think of Vns that are safe to suggest lol
Katawa shoujo actually unironically has a lot of heart behind it
And some good stories to tell and rip your heart out
wise spire
i played that back when it first came out, but i didnt replay it since it came to steam
wise spire
ah that was great
little tree
I haven't read it yet, but I heard kara no shoujo, despite being pretty fucked up, is a very nice read
a friend made me listen to one track of it, and it convinced me to add it to my list: ||https://youtu.be/oX1ZL46zALw||

Nanairo isn't pure nakige... But it did release recently
Trying to dig into the niche reccs that may not fit since you've seemed to read a lot lol

i dont have a credit card to age verify

oh i need to play little busters. thtas one i nmever touched before that i forgot i own

Little busters is great
Id start breaking out the Japanese reccs but those wouldn't be on steam
Utawarerumono id definitely also suggest getting back into
The first and second one are a wild ride

There were storytelling aspects I really liked
But just
God never meant to have us live in a world where every story point gets interrupted with teen boy bringing his delusions about swimsuits and anime girls to life

There was one route he wasn't horrid on
The one with the rock girl

u are suppose to hate him yeah
fk that guy
only cool thing about chaos head and child is how everything works but characters are not so good and ofc it opens up steins gate
also steam versions are bit bad u will need to patch the games from committee of zero sadly but then again every vn's steam version is weird so

I dont think ive ever played a VN without needing some kind of mod

Yeah i got the coz patch
cobalt spade
the classes are actually peak
i think ive played them all once at least
kali and assassin were my favourites
little tree
I really loved the fact that you get so many different classes just because of the specializations
ohh yeah kali was insane for pve
copper remnant
is this the new periodic table?
cobalt spade
i fucking suck at pvp
little tree
in pvp tho, it was a nightmare to get close to 💀
little tree
ye high ping caused some serious rollbacks
cobalt spade
the magic based lancea classes also peak
little tree
I started on EU and moved to SEA to play Assassin when they released it
EU was late on the updates
cobalt spade
i actually have a private server downloaded, but i played for a day and dropped it
it didnt feel right lmao
little tree
I went from Moonlord -> Windwalker -> Ripper, but I think I did play a little bit of Machina and Academic
Assassin was so busted, the solo abyss dungeon clear speed difference was crazy
cobalt spade
yea ML was the classic first class
i had at least 1 character of every class
just to try it out
and then i eventually made more for specializations
little tree
cobalt spade
assassin is the only one where i had 1 of each 
little tree
literally a fighting game
I remember they added another branch for a lot of classes later on
dark avengers or something?
cobalt spade
yea its the
idk what they call it
spin off class or whatever
they were pretty op on launch
little tree
oh ye it's those
cobalt spade
plus they had a edgy transformation skill

iirc some dn devs were trying to make a game recently
but it looks more like yet another genshin copy, not as much sauce as dn
cobalt spade
there will never be another game like dn for me
little tree
Dragonsword
little tree
there will never be another game like dn for me
I feel the same
cobalt spade
no assassin class has ever come close to the enjoyment i felt playing DN Assassins
little tree
back then, I wasn't sure if I even wanted to play ff14 despite having played the 2.0 beta, because dn spoiled me so much, there was no way I could play something that didn't come close to it 💀
cobalt spade
i had some fun with Lost Ark but its fucking region locked and im getting rolled by ping lmao
little tree
I had a few hours on Lost Ark, reached the beginning of endgame then I dropped 
modest cipher
I dropped lost ark cause of the daily nonsense and the extreme p2w to keep up
Amazon ruined that game
little tree
New news?
well there's the Dragonsword game from some dn devs, but it's yet another genshin inspired product
but other than that I just posted a track from the SEA version the other day in #art-music
little tree
damn
cobalt spade
i dont remember how i had lost ark on my steam library
actl nvm i do
i got a key for beta i think
i got a key somewhere
and added it to my library
cobalt spade
idk
little tree
ye it's "free"
cobalt spade
its region locked

i wouldnt have been able to get it in my library otherwise

Is a shame tho lost ark raids were fun

I wanted to return to Lost Ark when they added the artist class
but I just dropped again very quickly
cobalt spade
i couldnt keep up with raids anymore because of ping
modest cipher
Returning to lost ark feels like utter doodoo
cobalt spade
and i was playing a ping reliant class
modest cipher
Because of the five bajillion dailies
little tree
yeaaah man those korean mmos, even back in the day
cobalt spade
little tree
just working a job at this point
cobalt spade
best thing out of lost ark
modest cipher
Dailies are fine. I get it. Give a reason for players to come back and gate progression a bit
little tree
dn had a shit ton of dailies too
modest cipher
But lost ark just goes overboard
little tree
good thing I was in middle school and had a lot of time when I played it because damn bru
ArcheAge was one such game too
modest cipher
I don't remember it having many dailies
Just the same annoying stamina system all Korean games had at the time
cobalt spade
i yearn for an mmo with a good assassin class
little tree
didn't have that much dailies, but a lot of time consuming content for progression
not even accounting the crafting points system
modest cipher
DFO is also another good one but I quit because of all the retcons and disjointed story
cobalt spade
i know people like to recommend the classics for mmos these days
cobalt spade
but for me, classes are a major selling point for me in mmos
and i am very particular about it lol
modest cipher
Unironically the game woulda been better if they left pso2 in maint mode
It's ridiculous
cobalt spade
if i dont see a class i would remotely want to play i wont play the game at all

ngs turning into a sub vrchat was one of the moments

I played mostly on the RU servers, the global release was so broken

Pso2 died for that...
Also remember
Episode 6 of pso2
Was made with a skeleton crew supposedly smaller than ngs

The only thing I'll give to NGS is how cool bow braver is

the just attack mechanic being gone too, like bruh

at least twin dagger fighter had some different combos based on timings, so that was fun
but man, my player agency where
modest cipher
Ehhhhhh
Maple classic isn't something I trust enough to sink time into in this day and age
As much as I do think it's a good step forward
Don't trust me nexon with that time commitment lol
little tree
turning gaming into a long term investment type shii
cobalt spade
im pretty sure there is DN Classic too
and that shit went to hell really quick lmao
little tree
bru
cobalt spade
it became p2w insanely quick, and new players cant play because everyone is elitist and only accepts well geared people apparently
many were describing joining dungeons in dn classic as "going for job application/interviews"
modest cipher
Oh
Tera was another good one
That got ruined by the community
Here I am an archer, with more actual DPS than 99% of players
But I can't join any pug parties because
"eeeewwwwwe archer isn't meta shit damage"
Rarely is a game designed that you need meta, you're just bad.
little tree
oh ye tera
modest cipher
I always loved begging to join a party finally convincing someone to let me in
And I'm number 1 DPS by at least a 40% margin
little tree
mostly played a warrior and then I switched to ninja when it got released, but didn't play as much
modest cipher
Which I wouldn't give a shit about if I didn't have to beg to get in after being barred from every other party
little tree
I heard they removed open world pvp at some point
cobalt spade
i never played tera
the game was too big and my internet speed was in the kbps LMAOOOO
little tree
bro I remember STRUGGLING just downloading the game back then
it was slow and sometimes I had to redownload the entire game because it just broke mid dl
took me around a week the first time I played to just get it properly installed 💀
cobalt spade
i played it with 1 friend. it was fun when we played tgt, just goofing around
modest cipher
I think tera was the first big game I saw
That had that special
"cloud download" bullshit
Who's name makes no sense but you could download up to a certain point and then play the starting area
Then up to another point the first region

the thing is it has been mentioned that they would mix up artstyles as usual, and so that the realistic "Sora" would exist for Quadratum and not necessarily every other world

ive planned out what to do for my summer break marathon now.
for now ive decided on 18 games with ~6 days per game. i spun the wheel based on 3 categories, 1-heavy hitters (long RPGs and etc), 2-palette cleansers (VNs or ooga booga games like Warriors), 3-Retro
and lo and behold
the result
1 - Heavy - SMT3N, Tales of Destiny, Fire Emblem SoV, 13 Sentinels, Xenoblade 1, MHStories 1
2 - Palette Cleanser - Voice of Cards 1, Persona 5 Strikers, AI: Somnium Files, Zero Escape 2, Omori, Danganronpa 1
3 - Retro - Chrono Cross, LoZ Windwaker, Parasite Eve, Pokemon XD Gales of Darkness , Ar Tonelico 1, Brave Fencer Musashi
that is alot of games to play
(i am not finishing xc1 in 6 days 
)
3.5 weeks to go

I didn't like Chrono trigger that much
Feels very overrated, amazing for it's time sure but it doesn't feel like anything special now

chrono trigger might benefit from a hd2d + a little story 'remaster' of sorts

i did start playing 1 time and didnt finish it so

Yeah like ppl recommend it now as a must play

thats all i can say

and specially for the time, the battle system is pretty innovative

i can't name on one hand games with story as peak as trigger
i can recommend 13 of them
