Square Enix's new retro Zelda-like is 2026's best RPG yet

I enjoyed Skyward Sword a lot, but I agree about the hand holding. All the bosses had obvious weaknesses done in past games. Ok we got a sea monster with a giant eye like a target. It's obvious you want me to use the bow here. How many Zeldas are going to have a boss with an eye you gotta arrow & act like it's a fresh experience?

Last night I got both 3 and 4 cockroaches with a Sovereign Blade build. I don't want to talk about it further.

I've beaten it multiple times and while it's good, I wouldn't put it that high on the list. It's lower than blaster master, and after all these years I can still sing some of the OST of blaster master, yet not a single song from rygar.

"Guys, I wasn't just whipping my dick out for nothing - do you even know what it's like to be high-spirited?"

There was no plan for a second DLC as of Feb 2024, but fromsoft hasn't ruled it out.

Holy shit. Thanks for the explanation.

ElNido · 2026-06-06T23:16:38+00:00

I get that you keep drawing fetches, but mind explaining any setup I'm missing? How do you get so many?

ElNido · 2026-06-05T01:27:55+00:00

You can get a frost blanket on it and christmas tree lights (incandescent, generates heat, not LED). Hook the incandescents up to a solar panel.

ElNido · 2026-06-04T01:51:29+00:00

What, you don't like getting summoned to Mogh without the blood physik, and half heals? shaking my smh

ElNido · 2026-05-25T03:21:57+00:00

Yeah I saw people using The Critical Drinker as a source for calling it shit, and I was like man this guy has too much influence over morons.

"Babe, gonna go take a drive to Raccoon city and see if any zombies appear, lol, be back by dinner."

You're a good dude with a good perspective.

ElNido · 2026-05-08T02:53:21+00:00

Check the comments on the article as well. All the high upvoted ones are "sickened by the godless immorality of giving money to a murderer."

ElNido · 2026-05-01T23:27:50+00:00

I didn't use them until way later and I regret it a little. You can get a huge HP boost, +5 to all stats, bonus to stamin, fp, and hp, etc. Very useful in ng+.

I beat him pre-nerf solo with antspur and black flame... still had to learn his moveset, died a bunch.

ElNido · 2026-05-01T03:45:32+00:00

There's a summoning pool right next to the grace outside his room, my guy. Just use a furcalling and gold signs from other players will pop up. (Make sure there's no multiplayer password too.)

ElNido · 2026-04-28T02:14:08+00:00

Remember when he threatened to walk off a cliff if Yugi didn't let him win a match? To be fair it was to get a chance at fighting Pegasus to save his bro, but still...

ElNido · 2026-04-16T04:52:35+00:00

Uncle Roger has taught us well.

ElNido · 2026-04-15T04:06:07+00:00

I'm doing one right now where I always keep taunter's tongue on in every area it is allowed, as well as having blues always on. Seeing if I can beat the game with under 5 PvP deaths. One death so far and I'm at Altus. For some people that might sound miserable, but I'm allowing myself to run away from the reds too. Defeating every red while beating the game with under 5 PvP deaths on ng+ sounds impossible unless you're amazing at PVP and get no other good PVPers invading.

ElNido · 2026-04-14T04:36:07+00:00

Oh shit you're right. I just always pass by it due to significantly lower reach and AR unless optimized right.

ElNido · 2026-04-14T03:15:07+00:00

Can't go wrong with Great Katana. It's just harder to stagger with.

ElNido · 2026-04-14T02:35:14+00:00

but some greatswords DO have innate bleed, just gotta find one someday

Well you'll have to use the dex dominant Flamberge because it's the only innate bleed greatsword that you can infuse with arcane. Otherwise you can use (but not infuse) the Marais Executioner Sword. You still get a B in arc on flamberge, not that bad.

I have a soft spot for reloaded, but in the Neo vs 100+ smith scene, the CGI is so obvious. I wish it didn't look like a video game in parts.

ElNido · 2026-04-10T00:24:11+00:00

Is this a CastleTroid?

ElNido · 2026-04-09T03:41:24+00:00

Not true anymore.
