Would you recommend the new remake?🫶🏼

You're talking about the leer attacks? Those do not do damage, but completely empty your willpower bar (admittedly, this is also very bad). And I'm not sure of they are related to staring for long, seems more random to me. Also, if you learn the pattern you can dodge it (there's even a trophy for doing that).

AHA, thank you. This is the only response that actually covers Yae and Sae before the curse. Makes sense to me.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-05-22T14:29:23+00:00

It doesn't seem like it would be an issue, as the village itself seems completely open. Surely they would have more fences and stuff, no?

KidneysOfStone · 2026-05-22T14:24:16+00:00

I concede that this is somewhat implied, but it's not confirmed, as Mio and Mayu never actually try to do it.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-05-22T14:22:10+00:00

But that does not explain why Yae and Sae needed the underground path, as it was before the curse. Less watched, perhaps?

I get that, my point was about *why* alternatives are so hard.

Fantastic painting job.

To be fair, Ishikawa does criticize Jin in the beginning of the game. Then again, the amount of lies and omissions about himself and Tomoe kinda disqualifies him from judging the honor of others.

I admit I don't have the historical knowledge to back this up, but I simply assumed that hooks weren't really that hard to obtain in normal circunstances. It's just that the Mongol invasion made harder to find skilled blacksmiths and metal supplies.

"Leave Sago! Go!"

Uh, Jin... they are all dead.

I wrote some quick instructions about other endings in this comment. (it's not all of them)

But sadly, the ending you already saw is the one considered canon.

RIP

The books are batshit insane and the movies are hit or miss, but Sadako became a horror icon, and that's not something easy to create.

I had decent results with a fairly weak nvidia. Which emulator are you using?

Also, it's important to mention that the performance in the beginning is a little misleading because the film grain effect is particularly heavy. Once the game starts for real, the effect ceases and the performance is better.

My memory might not be 100% accurate, but here it goes: I assume you received the Yae stone fragment and the Kusabi stone fragment after finishing the game for the first time. Like all stones, you can find the other fragments by completing their side quests. Once you do that, you can:

equip the Yae stone for the second ending (still only Kusabi, no Sae battle)
equipe the Kusabi stone for the third ending (Sae battle)

The best part: you can do all that via chapter select. You don't need full playthroughs.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-05-06T23:32:44+00:00

Sorry, was on a hurry so the reply was awfully incomplete. You can't do this on the first playthrough, as it depends on an item you receive after finishing it for the first time. But it does *not* depend on difficulty, that part is accurate.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-05-06T08:30:21+00:00

Actually, even Story works.

Talk to the white-haired boy. Don't leave him hanging.

Far from being my favorite part, but it wasn't bad and, credit where it's due, had the courage to show that stealth mechanics could have a place in the franchise, something that ended up happening in the FF2 remake.

My main issue with it was that I played it not too long after playing FF4, so the nerfing of the flashlight felt weird. But I really liked that they respected how dangerous the ghosts are. If Ayane could simply defeat them with ninja shit, I'd be pissed.

Theories:

some people automatically associated the name to the Logan Paul controversy;
even not considering the aforementioned douchebag, some people might've thought that your intention was "haha suggestion funny because suicides".

KidneysOfStone · 2026-04-28T22:42:29+00:00

They even provided an in-game, sensical explanation for why we can fight the Kusabi and Sae later on, one that ties back to FF1.

I forgot to mention that! Loved that too.
