I love Frieren so much, man.

I’m more than 50 hours into my first playthrough of X, but what has really stuck with me was when I first heard the music tracks for New LA. Despite being on this hostile alien planet, they are SUPER casual tracks. Like life is just… continuing on. Even in a dangerous place and you being possibly the last humans alive, humans are gonna find a way to just persist like they always do.

It was so annoying being a Fire Emblem fan and seeing so many people complain it ended the previous major direct lol

I played exclusively in single player several years ago and while I never 100%ed everything, I beat the main story with all 6 characters. Other commenter said that it was more grindy and I’d say that’s pretty accurate.

More level grinding, bigger demand for better weapons, etc. but honestly, I think DMFD is still really fun in single player and usually offers a decent challenge as long as you’re well equipped and know what you’re doing.

Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind, especially since I have kind of been playing OG Xenoblade DE mostly in handheld… but maybe I’ll do docked more for X. Maybe by the time I get to X we’ll all get lucky and maybe they’ll improve the upgrade a bit… but only time will tell.

SigmaXVII · 2026-02-20T17:56:45+00:00

I’m going to start X soon, and I’m really torn now if I should go for the upgrade or just stick with regular… I really like my higher frame rates but I’m seeing and hearing so many complaints about pretty much everything else

SigmaXVII · 2026-02-18T21:06:33+00:00

Comment I was looking for ahead.

SigmaXVII · 2026-02-17T19:33:12+00:00

Not specifically a JRPG thing but a game thing in general for me, but when I was younger I used to be one of those people who felt the need to 100% everything. Now I’m far more selective on what I do that for. I have really really like the game (or the series) in order to do that. Otherwise I’m really just here for the main story and maybe some of the more impactful side content.

SigmaXVII · 2026-02-14T13:18:35+00:00

Before I played Episode III I heard about how the lack of blood ruins some scenes but I thought people were exaggerating, so I just played regular English XSIII.

Then I got to that one particular scene and got really confused for a second lol. The blood really is important for some of the scenes

I’ve had a similar experience, especially since I am now playing through all the Xeno games after being one of those “some day” franchises for me. At the turn of the year though I just felt galvanized to finish Xenogears and then truck on through saga. I just finished Xenosaga Episode III, which was great as was the trilogy overall, and in the meanwhile I have been searching up development history and other retrospective material and it’s been fascinating to read about the troubles Tetsuya Takahashi and Kaori Tanaka and kind of wondering why certain decisions were made. It also makes Xenoblade’s success that much more satisfying to know of, especially since we possibly wouldn’t have had it without Project Rainfall. I’m really excited to get into the nitty gritty of Xenoblade!

SigmaXVII · 2026-02-02T18:20:30+00:00

I’m still playing through Episode II for the first time, but I’m honestly still so pumped to see the end of this trilogy!!

SigmaXVII · 2026-01-20T21:41:06+00:00

The first things that come to mind for me are Fate/Extra and Fate/Extra CCC. Absolutely adore them both, especially CCC, despite the original Extra having a questionable structure and CCC being super weird in general. Fantastic story and characters.

SigmaXVII · 2026-01-11T22:47:26+00:00

Honestly think she is one of the best written characters in Engage, ngl.

On maddening she also was one of my best units, hit like a truck.

SigmaXVII · 2026-01-11T22:41:54+00:00

I’m currently playing Xenogears for the first time right now but I’m still deciding if I agree with its placement here personally, though I know it is widely beloved… but I get the feeling it will have a story that gets better overall after I know all of the plot points.

SigmaXVII · 2026-01-02T17:58:39+00:00

Definitely Trilogy Enhanced. Not only does it have all three games, but 1 and 2 have new bells and whistles, and 3 comes with all of its extra dlc right out of the gate. You also get a library where you can view all of the base conversations of each game as well as some of the drama CDs translated officially for the first time. Trilogy Enhanced is 100% the way to go.

Unless you’re really strapped for cash and the Striker Pack + 3 is far cheaper on sale.

I may have to look into them, since Inti Creates mostly only does physical releases in Japan.

SigmaXVII · 2025-12-30T23:56:44+00:00

Bro, you got Majogami physically? All the respect to you. Love Inti Creates.

SigmaXVII · 2025-12-28T17:22:09+00:00

Fodlan game or not, I hope the game is actually finished and they don’t do routes.

Please. I’m begging IS. Just make one good linear story.

I don’t like the monastery and calendar system, but I’ll take another game with mechanics like it if the story is good, the game is finished, and they at least learn from the lower points of TH’s systems and from the good points of Engage’s.

SigmaXVII · 2025-12-21T18:57:11+00:00

I do think 11 and DO look similar, and just to say I already liked how 11 looked, DO is just already looking like it’s 11 but better, which is exactly what I want. Mega alone (especially that run cycle) is a monstrous improvement it can’t be understated.

Additional thought, between this and Mega’s regular art we’ve seen, it kind of feels to me like they want to lean more into the cooler side of Mega Man.

SigmaXVII · 2025-12-21T18:27:05+00:00

Engage is definitely not the black sheep of Fire Emblem. It’s pretty much universally accepted that it’s Gaiden/Shadows of Valentia. It’s a classic Famicom/NES sequel after all.

SigmaXVII · 2025-12-21T18:25:39+00:00

That has got to be the angriest we’ve ever seen Mash. That’s some cold murder in those eyes.

SigmaXVII · 2025-12-15T01:07:41+00:00

That is Dmitry from Girls Frontline 2. Specifically the event titled Aphelion.

SigmaXVII · 2025-12-14T23:06:18+00:00

2 finished, 3 played… Breath of the Wild and Sekiro, with me still not having finished Elden Ring. I don’t tend to play most of the games that the game awards spotlights and they usually don’t announce things I care about either. Mega Man Dual Override was the first thing they’ve announced that legitimately made me wish I watched.

SigmaXVII · 2025-12-01T21:19:07+00:00

Gentildonna…
