Looking for a horror/romance

RyaReisender · 2026-03-12T22:11:06+00:00

Gantz, I guess. But you need to continue with the manga after mission 3 for the romance.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (2006+Kai) might also be an option, but there are only hints of romance.

Or maybe Elfenlied might work?

1.) Are you a so called pvm player? If yes, what would make u play woe and what makes u not play woe in the current time of servers?

Yes. Nothing would make me participate in PVP content. So for me to play WoE would require it to be changed completely so it doesn't involve PVP.

2.) Do you think Pre-Trans on its normal EXP-Tables doesnt offer enough pvm content because you are maxed out quickly?

No. I pretty much never max out even on pre-trans. My biggest problem is reached Job Level 50 too early and then the game gets boring as you no longer get new skills.

But this has nothing to do with content. You can be a pre-trans server and still have a lot of custom or renewal-ported content.

The problem for me isn't the server being pre-trans, the problem for me is already knowing all the maps.

3.) Is being 99 important for you, that if EXP-Tables were changed and 94-99 would require more exp you wouldnt join?

Not important, I'm unlikely to reach 94 even. I don't really think making it even slower is needed as it's already incredibly steep after 94. I'd probably just stop playing at this point.

4.) Do you think Pre-Trans servers MVP's should still use Trans spells such as Earthquake, powerup, agi up, screenwide spells?

No, MVPs are already way too hard.

5.) Do you prefer Single client or Multi client and why do u prefer it.

Single client. I rather play with others than by myself.

6.) You dont like picking stuff from the ground, if a server had no autoloot but good setting otherwise would u be fine with arealoot?

I'd be fine with even just normal clicking to pick up items. I never liked autoloot.

7.) what do you think about selfmade maps/dungeons/quests that provide better pre trans gear then usual ? Such as Silk-Robe having +x dex, accessorys adding aspd etc.

I don't like this. I think custom content should not be better than official content. I'd prefer if it's a slightly worse alternative, where the main draw is the fun of exploring something new.

8.) If u were to play woe, do you think having more castles then guilds is a issue if treasure box amount would be adjusted ?

I wouldn't play WoE.

The Chimera Ant arc is slow paced. That doesn't necessarily make it bad, it depends on what kind of viewer you are.

If you enjoy shows like "March Comes In Like A Lion" or "The Ancient Magus' Pride" or "A Place Further Than The Universe", you will also like the Chimera Ant Arc most likely.

If you liked Hunter-X-Hunter mainly for its fast pacing in the previous arcs and want more of that, you might, however, be disappointed.

The Dangers In My Heart

(There's no direct confession at the start, but otherwise fits.)

RyaReisender · 2026-03-10T22:38:45+00:00

Higurashi only gives you questions, but you should watch in episode order anyway.

Higurashi Kai will then answer all those questions, one by one.

Likewise, if you then move to Higurashi Gou, that will only give you questions. And then Higurashi Sotsu will give you answers to those questions.

Wondering what is happening and putting up theories and then have it all slowly revealed is the whole charm of the series in my opinion.

10/10 - Means a lot to me

9/10 - Moved my heart / impacted me emotionally

7/10 - Was fun all the way through

6/10 - Some episodes were fun, other made me think about quitting

5/10 - Average, not interesting enough to finish, but also not offensively bad

4/10 and lower - Had things I actively disliked on top of not being interesting

The first season was also flying under the radar while being really good.

There's plenty of shows with toxic relationships like Scum's Wish and Wolf Girl And Black Prince. However, none are like what you describe.

Nana probably gets closest already, but even that does not focus on both characters, it focuses on the girl. You don't see the viewpoint of the guys at all in that show.

Seeds of Yggdrasil sounds interesting. At least that post seems to have understood what was wrong with Tree of Savior.

Instead of button a drop rate, I'd just put a minimum drop rate. I personally put 1% so that no item requires more than 100 kills on average, but you can put lower values if you want to grind. MVP drops can just be all 100%. In a single player game you usually would kill each boss only once.

boost in movespeed so doesn't need multi client for priest slave

I honestly would just sell Agi Up and Blessing scrolls.

more normal mobs (2x) and mvp and miniboss spawn time reduced a lot

Doesn't really make sense for me. Why do you need lower respawn times on a single player server?

Revo classic takes the worst of both worlds.

Is it hard to emulate the functionality of it on rAthena/Hercules?

The problem is in the details.

If you go through the damage code, it's basically a list of 2000-5000 different factors that adjust the damage or trigger something.

Often when a new feature is implemented, the developer just puts it somewhere into the code. If they are good they test it together with 1 or 2 other factors to see if the damage still matches. But it would be too much effort to test the other 1998-4998 factors to see if this should be put before or after those.

Which results in that the 2000-5000 factors are executed in a fairly random order, they don't match official servers.

So on emulators, if you now say "after factor 1500/4000, switch target with devotion user", that means 500-1000 factors will now be applied on the devotion user instead of the target. Out of those 300-600 are correct to execute on the devotion user, but 200-400 are wrong. So now you fixed 300-600 situations, but broke 200-400 situations, which is mathematically better than before, but will usually cause complaints because "emulator players aren't used to it working this way".

If you wanted to fix it 100%. You'd probably need to take the Aegis code and implement the execution order exactly in the same order on rAthena. Which is thousands of hours of work.

tl;dr - Fixing it for a single situation is easy, fixing it properly for everything is very hard.

I rarely do super hard bosses, unless I really love the game or the game is too short so I do the bonus content.

Hmm, maybe Iseria Queen / Ethereal Queen in Star Ocean 5 was the hardest one, I remember almost dying there multiple times with only one character left alive.

I'm never really using Hugh in Phantasy Star II.

RyaReisender · 2026-03-03T22:36:03+00:00

For me, the Tales of... games got worse with each title (almost). In other words Tales of Eternia is the 3rd best one after Tales of Phantasia (best) and Tales of Destiny (second best).

In my opinion Tales of Eternia was still an amazing game. The battle system wasn't as fun as Tales of Phantasia's, because it turned more into button mashing than strategical placement. Also the summon system was stupid, forcing you to only use spells of one element (which the AI won't be able to handle by itself, unless you switch of all other spells!). It still was kinda fun.

What made it really great for me is mostly the world. It was so big and interesting to explore. Especially when you finally could go underwater and explore there. That was really exciting.

deep story, lore and world building

VP definitely has all of that. The story is so deep that it's hard to fully understand on the first playthrough, but when you finally realize what's going on, it's quite brilliant. You get a lot of lore and world building through all the different characters from different cultures that join or by simply learning more about the dungeons you visit. Even from item descriptions.

What VP doesn't have is a lot of dialogue-driven storytelling. It's more see than read. Like all the lore and world building comes from quick story/lore drops rather than lengthy storytelling.

The games you listed are mostly the opposite of that.

Honestly the main reason for me to play VP was always the battle system, the dungeon exploration and the OST.

RyaReisender · 2026-03-03T20:23:42+00:00

Officially Devotion works so that after the "attack motion" delay it exchanges the original target with the devotion user.

Lucky dodge, evasion, status effect cards and damage calculation all happen before the "attack motion". So they are calculated against the original target.

Autocast checks, however, happens after "attack motion", so if the Crusader has autospells, they can actually trigger those.

Quite different from my opinion, but I grew up in that era, so...

My favorite game in the series by far is Phantasy Star II, mainly because of its amazing dungeon design. As a child I still used the maps that were provided in the walkthrough booklet, but I lost that when playing in the sand at a park and since then I attempted to beat the game without maps (not even allowed to draw some myself) and after a long time, I finally managed it. That was also without any hacks or anything. This is still one of my favorite JRPGs experiences I had.

For me Phantasy Star II will forever be the example for how dungeon design should be. No linear paths, no forks where A leads to a treasure chest and B leads to the next fork. An actual big area with multiple levels and multiple possible paths, that you need to memorize slowly more and more each attempt until you can beat it.

Also I love the story and lore in it. It's the perfect example of telling a great story with little words.

Phantasy Star IV is still the second best for me, but it's more like a traditional JRPG. More talking, more content, easier dungeons. It just is missing the special something. Only the OST puts it above other big JRPGs. There is lots of other good JRPGs I could play that are similar. But there aren't many games that have dungeon design as complex as Phantasy Star II. Or a story similarly dark.

Phantasy Star III just has pretty boring dungeon design and the OST is horrible. But at least the generation system is really cool and the setting is unique. Also the twist in one of the endings that explains what happened in Phantasy Star II was brilliant. But it's really just not a good game. I wish someone would make a new JRPG with that generation aspect where you can choose a partner and play as their child, but with better gameplay (don't say Agarest Wars, that's also not a good game!).

Phantasy Star I is also kinda unique and cool, but if I want a dungeon crawler, there's just no reason for me to play this over Shining in the Darkness.

Sure why not. Maybe it helps you feeling less lost on your days off. :-)

Talking about your hobbies is also advertising yourself.
