    I'm currently looking into some non-European history since I kind of want to make the story less conventional by having a setting not be inspired by Medieval Europe (and yet I still kinda consider it high fantasy? It's weird). Also, lots of myths and religion. I also have a character kinda sorta based on Nicholas II Romanov, who's also kind of the opposite of him at the same time? It's weird.

    But yeah, I can see a lot of Tactics Ogre, FFXII, and other influences in the story I have in my mind for now as well. Also, Xenogears, which I only noticed later on. But still, I've really only just started and think the story will change to the degree that the inspiration might not be visible unless you're looking for it. Hell, I'd say it's pretty different already.

    I'm kind of envious of the fact that you could successfully study history, tbh. Like I said, I love reading and hearing about it and I think it's super important. I just wish I actually had the opportunity to take it in properly back when I was still at a young and malleable age.

    But I definitely won't let my lack of historical knowledge stop me. I'll research what I need, but in the end, I don't want my faithfulness (or lack thereof) to real life history to hamper the story I'm trying to write.

    I did decide to take a leaf out of his book by inspiring parts of the stories on real life historical events. It's been an interesting brainstorming session, to say the least, considering history has always been one of my weakest subjects. Mostly because my elementary school teacher killed all my enthusiasm in the subject by humiliating me in front of the whole class. Which is a real shame because when I do get down to it, I love history, but learning it has always been a horrendous experience.

    But still, it's just fantasy

    Now that I hink about it, my thing has some Matsuno ish aspects as well. No surprizes here i guess

    Yeah the PSP battery life sucos. Though the Vita's is better, its still much weaker than the 3DS XL's. And ven that really has nohing on my ds lite which isjust a beast when it comes to battery life.

    And I get you. Im not playing P2EP roght nowsimply because im not in a megaten mood atthe moment, but still plan to return to it. Matsuno moods are the best kind though.

    Also, managed to write a significant amount today! woo!

    Tactics Ogre is definitely one of those games I think about coming back to one day, just to see everything it has to offer because I didn't have the energy to do it all at once. It's still fantastic how the PSP version made so much of the content more accessible.

    Speaking of SRPGs, I was going to say Regalia is a good game for you if you ever want tot get back into the genre since it's actaully pretty short for the genre standards and that's really refreshing. But since you're back into the genre with Tactics Ogre, I guess that's a moot point

    btw have you seen this?

    Tactics Ogre is fantastic and I"m happy to hear it inspired you! How far are you in?

    I haven't been doing nearly enough writing, so I'll try to do more today. But then, I also restarted Chrono Trigger - mostly because of your list - and it's so nice. Hope it doesn't totally kill my productivity!

    Who knows But I mean, I think even Sakaguchi himself said FF is for kids and that older fans should just let it go, so maybe I shouldn't worry too much

    We'll see if we'll give Millennium a go. I remember my mom being a huge fan of both the X-Files and Millennium, and I heard the X-Files actually had an episode that served as the finale for Millennium.

    In other news, I'm having this weird epiphany. I've been reading up on some old RPGs that I loved, including Breath of Fire, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, etc. and... I've come to realize that I really don't care about FF anymore. And it's not really just the uncertain future to come, but for some reason I feel like I've lost my emotional connection with the series somewhere along the way, probably around the time I did the marathon. The only titles that legit bring me joy when I think about them are the Ivalice games, and maybe VI. The rest doesn't really seem to do it for me anymore. And now I wonder if this is just a temporary crisis or have I just... grown out of it?

    Yeah, we recently had a conversation at work about how back in the day, there was really nohinglike it and how the tv show lineup is now flooded with things that are derivative of it but just cant really capture that magic. I see it as a product of its time that has had a huge influence on pop culture, redefining how we take in our media, and its really hard to replicate that effecf

Games tha are distracting me from playing other games...

by Wolf Kanno on 12-10-2023 at 06:09 AM
Since I'm doing a marathon, I thought it would be fun to list the games that are distracting me from actually finishing said marathon.

FFXV ~ MGS: Peace Walker and SaGa Scarlet Graces
FFXIII ~ Breath of Fire 1-3 and MechCommander Gold
XIII-2 ~ Romancing Saga Re:Universe and FF: Opera Omnia

Will update more in the future...

Projects!!!

by Wolf Kanno on 01-28-2021 at 07:40 AM
Oof, I've been a bit out of sorts with my mental health lately, and I think it's about time I do something about that. I've got a lot of balls in the air so to speak concerning projects I've been doing around the forum both past and present. So I'm thinking about tackling a few of them, but with how I've been feeling lately, I want some second opinions I guess. Of the projects I've abandoned, what should I work on next?

Here's where I'm at for the moment:

WK's Top 100 Lost but Not Forgotten : Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

by Wolf Kanno on 05-24-2020 at 11:43 PM

I'm always split on these articles. So many of these games are great and I have retroactively said a few of them made the list, but occasionally something comes along that I really want to love but the game just won't let me. Tactics Ogre is in a weird place for me because the remake and the original are pretty different in some meaningful ways, so much of this review pertains to the remake due to having only played a little bit of the original.

WK's Top 100's Lost but Not Forgotten List: Silent Hill 3

by Wolf Kanno on 05-03-2020 at 01:37 AM
Is this honestly the first non-RPG on this list?

Well I fell into the Silent Hill series rather late. By the time I had played the series, the "glory years" were over and fans were knee deep in Konami trying to take the series in a different direction without Team Silent. I was a huge fan of the first two entries of the series, being instantly sucked into the second entry and surprised how much I really enjoyed the first one. So it came as a bit

WK's Top 100 Lost But Not Forgotten: SaGa Frontier 2

by Wolf Kanno on 04-05-2020 at 02:32 AM
I was having a serious reservation about whether I was going to add this to my Top 100 list or place it here. I decided it would go here for now, but part of me feels it could be like Demon's Souls and make the jump to My Top 100.


SaGa is a weird franchise. A JRPG series made for enthusiast who feel they've seen it all. From the Gameboy entries where you built a ragtag group filled with robots and monster to climb a tower/tree to visit
