    Oddly, I don't feel like I've played as many as some people.

    It was one of the first Tactical RPGs made for the PlayStation and was jointly developed by the same studio that made Front Mission for Square-Enix before it was bought out by them. It was one of the first RPGs to have CGI Cutscenes, and to use the Save Data transfer feature. The first game is pretty vanilla, but the sequel is a vast improvement and frankly feels like a game that Square may have been borrowing ideas from for FFVII. There is actually some amusing historical anecdotes about the title cause Sony refused to give the rights of the games for Western publishing until the head of SCEA stepped down and the RPG market changed in the West.

    Now that I've kind of got my Dark Souls fix, and can wait a bit on DSIII, I've been blogging about a few titles that I wanted to put on my Top 100 but felt they weren't as strong for me as I would like. Course, this also means I need to play through a couple of them to remember what it was that fell short for me, so I am currently going back through the Arc the Lad Trilogy.

    The difficulty curve is much lower. I was actually kind of disappointed how badly I thrashed the Hell Wrym when I got around to fighting him. Hell, if Omega didn't have Darkja, I would have destroyed him my first attempt and my actual victory match largely involved Basch killing the poor guy before he even had a chance to cast his paling. Like he did a ten hit combo and finished him in the very opening of the fight.

    See, just going to show how bad we're at with any country in that side of the continent. Not that I would imagine most Europeans would have an easy time with finding our states, especially when you get to my part of it and everything starts to look the same.

    Agree ! I still have nightmares from Vaan's abs from the vanilla version of the game. They haunt my dreams.

    I actually experimented with Time Magic, you would be surprised how useful Gravity spells and Balance can be. Course Ashe doubled as my Bushi character so she eventually went melee focus towards the end.

    Actually, Poland isn't counted as part of the Baltic States, nor Slovakia and Czech Republic surprisingly enough, though I don't think those countries have appeared yet either. Only Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are counted in the joke, though I do know that Poland is not afraid of Russia and they show Poland bossing around these countries as well, until Sweden shows up.

    Poland gets most of his scenes when either discussing WWI, dealing with the Scandinavian countries, or dealing with Prussia.

    Honestly, Poland is generally remembered more clearly than the other Baltic States in the U.S, but that's likely due to your country always being one of the first hotbeds in both World Wars, and then some stuff from the Cold War. I mean, at least your country kept it's identity during the U.S.S.R. era whereas the other countries were kind of forgotten and are simply considered "fragments of the former U.S.S.R." despite many of them simply trying to go back to their sovereignty before the Imperialist Era of Europe.

    You should watch Axis Powers Hetalia, as one of the biggest jokes with the Baltic States, besides their mutual fear of Russia, is that despite always being lumped together, they actually have nothing in common culturally or by language except for being bullied by Russia despite everyone, including themselves never being able to tell them apart from each other. It's a running joke when the three actually have time to have a conversation. Poland is pretty amusing character as well, despite being a bit bratty. His hilarious conversation with Britain and France before WWI started is definetly a good scene to establish his character.

Part of your world

by Fynn on 06-06-2017 at 04:37 PM
So there's this nagging issue I've had for quite some time now. It's a pretty abstract issue but one I think is pretty interesting and perhaps even important to share nonetheless. For many reasons, it has only become more pronounced recently.

As some of you may know, I want to be a writer. I try to do as much writing as I can. I even do writing for a living, though as an SEO copywriter, it's not exactly that I have an opportunity to spread my creative wings as part of what keeps giving

On FFVII (part of my Fmarathon rant)

by Fynn on 11-23-2016 at 11:16 AM
Decided this is worthy of being a blog-post, since it turned out to be a much bigger rant than I expected and I'm not sure the marathon's audience is really there for that kind of stuff

So far, I can say that

Frustrations of the writerly sort

by Fynn on 07-01-2016 at 11:13 AM
So there's this thing I've been struggling for quite some time. I don't want to call it a "writer's block" because it kind of seems like an excuse for being lazy. And it usually doesn't last long. This is something that's been eating at me for a long time.

I just kinda feel that I can't write anymore.

I mean, I still write articles for the site sometimes and I write other texts at my work, but it seems like, creatively, I've dried up. I'll come up with ideas

On story expectations

by Fynn on 03-30-2016 at 11:57 AM
So this is kind of a general discussion, but the general rant I have is based on three popular 3DS RPGs: Bravely Default, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Shin Megami Tensei IV. Sorry if this is chaotic, as I'm just writing this as it comes into my mind. Also, spoilers from the three games abound.

All of those games were very well received, though for different reasons. SMT is kind of here to serve as a neutral ground, as the evaluation of its story is pretty divided, whereas the consensus

Character Appreciation: Junpei Iori

by Fynn on 03-30-2016 at 10:37 AM
This is in no way an idea I stole from Pumpkin, no siree.


Junpei Iori is a character from the Persona franchise. He first appears in Persona 3 and all of its subsequent releases as a playable party member. He becomes a social link character as well in the female path of Persona 3 Portable, though he isn't date-able. He is also playable in
