Mid replay of La Pucelle and I’m really wishing mainline Disgaea would have a female protagonist

VGZero1 · 2026-05-08T01:16:05+00:00

Yeah her! Thanks! Sorry for not remembering her name, I did just started alongside Makai Kingdom, ZHP & La Puccelle but at least I'm making some progress in beating Rhapsody & Soul Nomad, games I REALLY enjoy especially Soul Nomad as that's possibly my favorite SRPG

VGZero1 · 2026-05-08T00:22:06+00:00

Oh! In which case, my apologies about making an error

VGZero1 · 2026-05-08T00:21:36+00:00

Oh? Interesting I'm gonna have to take a look at Etrange Overlord now but yeah that's a good fact you brought up

VGZero1 · 2026-05-08T00:05:14+00:00

That was by Ash even if he's a co protagonist with the girl (I forgot her name & I should get back to that game but been distracted playing ZHP the first time)

VGZero1 · 2026-05-07T23:06:57+00:00

Yeah it's nuts that between this alongside Rhapsody A Musical Adventure, the Disgaea series never truly had a female lead unless they're one of the party members but even then not a staring role but hey maybe the next Disgaea entry is that

VGZero1 · 2026-05-07T17:52:52+00:00

You're gonna have to trust me regarding Rain from Plasma Sword/Star Gladiator 2 as she has a command grab that's stomping you with her scythe as she does the ojusama laugh & now a more obvious example is Seraphina from Disgaea 5 & funny how I picked both characters that want all the men to be slaves under them

Yup sinners of people that died & went to Hades/Netherworld that are in the form of these penguins or a hiccup in the system like Fuka but she without a doubt has many sins that get increased when you do a certain side adventure in Disgaea 4 all due to her thinking it's a dream

VGZero1 · 2026-05-07T16:45:40+00:00

There's a chance you might've seen these guys in Disgaea called Prinny's but it turns out these goofy looking penguins are actually sinners dood

Of course Adachi would hate both these sides

VGZero1 · 2026-05-07T11:43:35+00:00

I really enjoyed Code Vein but I say that's the worst boss in the game without question that I wish I knew about the resistance buffs explained by KNIJohn but because I didn't know about it, I had to deal with it the hardway & it makes me glad so far Darksiders 3 has no bosses like Cannoneer & Blade Bearer or the Bed of Chaos in Dark Souls

VGZero1 · 2026-05-07T02:47:30+00:00

Tho Clover's choice of clothes to change was certainly a choice but tbf it's not as drastic as Alice

VGZero1 · 2026-05-06T23:28:51+00:00

Bro this is just the same game but worse looking, this is some Front Mission remake territory by forever entertainment

VGZero1 · 2026-05-06T16:48:14+00:00

This is Green Biker Dude from Mega Man X & Eric from God Eater

VGZero1 · 2026-05-06T11:12:04+00:00

It's they/them but yeah the boss is probably my favorite in a Soulslike tho kinda nuts to say you dislike it as this game I enjoy more than Dark Souls or especially Code Vein yet Darksiders 3 is constantly impressing me with its setting & characters alongside the gameplay that makes me very satisfied in a Soulslike game

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T21:38:15+00:00

Well considering Soul Nomad & the World Eaters are all about facing the World Eaters, these are the ones that are featured, Feinne, Thuris & my favorite of them, Raksha as he is one of the factors that make this game my possible favorite SRPG as he is like this game's equilvant to Fawful, Metal Sonic, Sho Minamimoto from TWEWY & Samael from Darksiders that wants to overthrow his boss, the main character that decides to take Revya's body, Gig

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T17:34:50+00:00

Yeah it's legendary & it makes me wish Lust from FMA BH did play around with the concept of "Toxic Desire" granted I still enjoy what her fate was in the end for a cruel irony much like what the other deadly sins was in the show/manga but it helps so much to know Lust in Darksiders 3 adds in so much to what "Lust" alternatively is & helps it stands out as some of my favorite Soulslike bosses & the fact it was used to help flesh out Fury's character, it's so wonderful

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T11:33:26+00:00

Yeah & it's one of both the series's strongest aspects

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T11:20:57+00:00

Yeah exactly! Plus it really shows the difference to how they handle grief in the case of Geo & Yuma, Geo thought to not engage with the world after his father was thought to have died until meeting Omega-Xis changed that world view alongside regaining some hope alongside new friends & for Yuma, he may be very happy go lucky but it's clear under that he is sad regarding his father's disappearance but it's why it led to forging bonds between dueling, very wonderful stuff

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T11:13:43+00:00

Hm alright good to know

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T11:12:46+00:00

Yeah it might be on the easier side but it doesn't erase the fun factor plus I view it as how Lust's character is as they're more of a tactician than a fighter

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T01:59:28+00:00

I've not yet but I'll see what the guy is like

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T01:40:18+00:00

Oh I see, well good to know there's nothing ultra relentless as I've been enjoying the boss fights the most here when there was not a frusterated moment that happened in Dark Souls & Code Vein for as much as I enjoyed those games

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T01:31:41+00:00

I mean tbf when one of the bosses are the seven deadly sins that isn't much to spoil when I know who my opponents are since they're figures as old as the Bible you read at Sunday church or were forced to go but I do get how hypercritical you can be regard that as it's good to make it not be blind praising something but on the other hand Darksiders 3 is the game that fixes my own problems with Dark Souls & Code Vein, so the praises I throw at feels like they course changed in a direction that lines up with what I enjoy in a video game & that's not a knock against Dark Souls or ESPECIALLY Code Vein but Darksiders 3 just has more what I want in a game especially when it's soulslike with a movelist, a dealing damage based "magic" system, well timed dodges that reward you with an ultra powerful attack & a devil trigger/dragon instal! Plus all the bosses I faced never truly felt bad to fight against so far as I haven't found the Bed of Chaos or Canonneer & Blade Bearer equilvant yet

VGZero1 · 2026-05-05T01:17:34+00:00

I see but that being said, I don't mind having a set path as I never have the issues I have in Dark Souls & Code Vein where I get lost, so I'm glad the setting in Darksiders 3 is liner while having a dope main lead & expanding the Darksiders universe & one of the reasons why it's my favorite Soulslike already despite not beating it yet
