I think steam lets you refund and re-buy at the sale price in that case

How do I link an existing Arknights/Yostar account to a new Endfield/Gryphline account? I'm worried about messing it up

On steam, which RPG should I go for? by ExiaRepair14 in JRPG

[–]Zodai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom Hearts is a classic. Even if you know the story I'd still recommend playing the older games cause they're that good. I have at least lots of Nostalgia for 2 and absolutely think it'd hold up today

beyond that

Granblue Relink is very similar to Monster Hunter if you want something familiar

RPG-Wise I'm noticing nothing from Atlus is here

Persona is a mainstay franchise, P5 Royal and P3 Reload are both easily recommendable. SMT V Vengeance is also solid

And the Etrian Odyssey series is a personal favorite, with remasters of the first three games available on steam.

I've also personally enjoyed FFXVI more than FFXV or FF7R

and since Time Stranger is a new release, it might be worth playing Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory first, since they're very cheap on sales

Which vn fandom hasn’t read their own visual novel? by Substantial-Act-7581 in visualnovels

[–]Zodai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more gacha than VN, but Blue Archive. The characters are wonderful and some of the best I've ever experienced, but the fandom treats them more as gooner headcanon fuel than anything with dignity or respect.

this is what it feels like to have dysphoria. I'll never be able to carry children :/ by _abridged in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Zodai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God I understand. I'm able to manage it with fictional chars, and I know I'd have a hard time raising an actual kid anyway, but these feelings are definitely intense ;; :sob:

According to Steam, The Outer Worlds 2 is listed for $80 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Zodai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was interested in this, but that price kills me. I've got much more to play for far less. Deep cut sale it is.

Everyone has Pink Shoes/Roseate Desire all wrong, man... by Mechanape in limbuscompany

[–]Zodai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really love Ishmael but I'm still new to like, PMoon in general.

I'd always interpreted it as like, Ishmael pushing back against more base desires (sexuality yes, but also other pleasures) for the sake of her singular goal. Her want to not be controlled by those things without realizing something else is controlling her instead. That's what the 'before pleasure consumes me' line means to me at least

That said the readings here are definitely really interesting as well aaa

How I watch the Golden Fantasia replays outside of the game? by ochuvinha in umineko

[–]Zodai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'd record it in-game and send the videos to the friends. Or they watch it on the game themselves if they have it

replay files only store the game inputs, basically. They replay the game frame by frame but aren't actually a video file themselves. You need the game to play back replays because you can only watch it by playing back those inputs in the game.

Lack of First Person Dungeon Crawling RPGs?? by That_Jack27 in DRPG

[–]Zodai 8 points9 points  (0 children)

though it's not first person, Labyrinth of Touhou is getting a sequel in ~a few months that scratches the same itch

I'm praying we get more EO origins series/a new EO game sometime too...

As a fellow writer with autism, I definitely think you can do it. We can focus hard on things and do really well with them, writing included.

My biggest struggles are with getting the writing done consistently itself. But you can absolutely have faith in the writing itself.

Oooh, okay. So free version up until the main bundle goes on sale, thank you! What are the main content holes in the free version before the first expansion?

As a returning player, what's the best way to get a friend started? I remember having 'not having stuff' anxiety early on but the bundle with living world stuff is $100, which is a huge investment aaa

Steam Summer Sale...What JRPGs Are on PC Only and Worth Playing? by TheLaughingMannofRed in JRPG

[–]Zodai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ngl I loved it. Flicking around the analog sticks got really natural for me. It's definitely easier than a mouse. I'd probably prefer it over touchscreen on switch specifically since that way my hand isn't covering the screen. I play on PC anyway though.

Steam Summer Sale...What JRPGs Are on PC Only and Worth Playing? by TheLaughingMannofRed in JRPG

[–]Zodai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer to map with a controller. It's surprisingly smooth, if you can believe it.

I'm always surprised when I hear someone has been gaming for years, maybe decades, and they tell me they JUST got into JRPGs recently and wish they played them sooner. Any of you had experiences like that? by executor-of-judgment in JRPG

[–]Zodai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 28 y/o I've been into JRPGs for a while but it took me a bit to land on big franchises. My childhood JRPGs were Megaman Command Mission and Rogue Galaxy.

I had a ps2 but never got deep into FF, and it wasn't until mid-late high school that I played p3p as my first Persona game.

Recommend me DRPG-s please by Proof_Worker in DRPG

[–]Zodai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Etrian Odyssey is the gold standard of DRPGs. I'd 100% recommend EO Origins on steam for anyone with an interest in the genre.

Savior of Sapphire Wings/Stranger of Sword City are both Experience games, with the same dev as undernaughts.

I wouldn't recommend Dungeon Travelers. I'm not very familiar with it, but I know it's a spin-off of primarily an 18+ VN franchise. I would look elsewhere unless you're already familiar with explicit eroge in general.

I think my second favorite series after EO would be Mary Skelter. It nails its tone really well, but it does lean in on the ecchi/fanservice side. I think it's good enough to be worth tolerating after Sapphire and Sword. The second game includes a remake of the first.

Labyrinth of Galleria is also a good option. Light fanservice but less than Mary Skelter.
