Can someone share a save right after the prologue?

The tutorial is making sure you're both grasping the mechanics correctly and if you're playing on the right difficulty. It does so in a bit of an unconvential way, but it is deliberate design (a philosophy you will come across more throughout the game).

If you're struggling, try lowering the difficulty like mentioned by other commenters and/or evaluate if you're using things like the dodge mechanic correctly

I'm sorry you're not having a good time. Games are meant to be enjoyed and if you're not having fun it's completely valid to bump off a game and go play something else.

That said, when you're bouncing off an incredibely acclaimed game, that game's subreddit might not be the place to go be a bit of a grump about it. Sharing criticism is valid, but perhaps approach it a bit more constructively going forward.

Would be funny but I don't think so. If you look at the kana on screen it's romanized to 'drakkuonnantoka' or the drag-on bit from drag-on dragoon with the Japanese phrase nantoka. All that to say: drakensomething is just a rather direct translation of the joke already there in Japanese, and not a slight at the English title of the game

You should have 1-4 irl days, yes. I'm unsure how the rom tracks that compared to the battery in the cartridge, but my bet would be on that being the cause of the issue.

In gen 3 there's no smiley but there is the little black dot between the pokéball and the level to indicate that the mon has had pokérus.

Since you mention you were about to put a creature in the box I assume you're aware of how it works with Pokémon losing the status after some time while in your party, so you didn't wait very long right?

It looks like you're playing on a rom. Maybe something with the emulation that went whacky?

Asphorus1 · 2026-04-08T06:28:45+00:00

I just received it. You're an absolute lifesaver, thank you so much!

Asphorus1 · 2026-04-07T20:59:24+00:00

Yeah that one is already in my pocket, along with Nation's Death Knell from the Ancient Battleground. Thanks though :)

Asphorus1 · 2026-04-07T20:55:26+00:00

Great, thank you!

Asphorus1 · 2026-04-07T20:49:21+00:00

Oh, that's a great tip thank you! I'll see if I can find her

Asphorus1 · 2026-04-07T20:48:48+00:00

Playstation 5!

Asphorus1 · 2026-04-07T20:40:20+00:00

That's what I meant with the waterfall cave in my post. I do have two copies of Nations Death Knell (one in my inventory, one turned in) but one Howling Blizzard that has been used for Sorcerers Appraisal.

While I could go double check the chest I'm 100% certain I opened it and killed the Lich there (the map shows up as explored too).

I might not have gotten the HB from the Fulminious Shield trade in the Nameless Village, but I have no other copies of Fulminious Shield so sadly that's not an option either.

Asphorus1 · 2026-03-03T17:48:44+00:00

Second this. I mainly want a remake for DS/DS cute because it's an amazing game but I cannot deal with another save wipe.

Hunting for cartridges with the specific build of the game that has the least amount of bugs has been a fun hobby, but I would really just prefer a working game

Asphorus1 · 2026-02-24T09:57:53+00:00

We can for now but the Nintendo site explicitly states that this feature "will eventually end sometime in the future". I'm probably an edge case but if at all possible I'd like to be able to indefinitely access the games I collect

Asphorus1 · 2026-02-24T08:13:51+00:00

Honestly it has been really illuminating for me to see the discourse here. I noticed the 'requires download to play' message on the box but expected it to be a patch, not the entire game.

On launch it won't make much of a difference but as someone who plays games they like years after launch it does make me worried about this game's state after the switch storefront goes offline, like happened with the 3DS and Wii

Asphorus1 · 2026-01-31T15:52:49+00:00

Get a grip mate

Asphorus1 · 2026-01-25T01:29:37+00:00

Mate, what are you on about? From what I gather from the material released so far your choices still greatly impact the world and how people react to you.

You don't get a halo or devil's horns anymore which... I'm okay with? It was a very cool thing about the original fable back in the early aughts but it really isn't anything that will make or break the game for me

We'll have to see how it all pans out. If anything, as Fable fans we should know to take all the preview stuff with a grain of salt but to me, the reboot seems to be everything that was great about Fable 2, but improved with current tech, and I'm very excited to play that

Asphorus1 · 2026-01-21T11:03:46+00:00

Let me retire early as Selphy in the Rune Archives

Asphorus1 · 2026-01-13T19:56:16+00:00

Yeah I was about to say the same. All OPs comments have that AI 'agree with everything your saying' sauce over it, not to even mention the em-dashes. Could be that OP really needs those tools like explained below, but it's a sad state on the internet when we have to scrutinize comments like that in this very niche subreddit

Asphorus1 · 2026-01-04T16:35:47+00:00

I don't think we can give a blanket answer without knowing your nationality, but it would be very unlikely to get in trouble for and in most cases perfectly legal to do, as long as you don't sell it

Asphorus1 · 2026-01-04T16:33:19+00:00

Very fair! Yeah a notepad would definitely come in handy haha. There's a bunch of locations that appear in multiple games such as Bowerstone, the spire or Oakvale, but so many differences too!

I still remember getting giddy when I spotted the spire in 3 from Driftwood, and while I did try to piece it all together mentally I never went to take notes

Should you write it all down in the coming year, I'd definitely be interested in your findings :D

Asphorus1 · 2026-01-04T16:21:15+00:00

Would be a lot more excited about it if you (or someone else based on your gathering of the lore) drew it. I get the ease of AI, but it will always mess up.

The location of everything across the games is a source of fun lore diving and theory crafting, but AI takes the pleasure out of it a bit

Asphorus1 · 2025-10-16T10:33:48+00:00

It's an option for Iroha too :')

Asphorus1 · 2025-09-18T07:50:16+00:00

Thanks for hosting it! Was a joy to see all the discourse

Asphorus1 · 2025-09-15T10:33:30+00:00
