    Not playing it per se, there's just this one youtube channel that posts comparison of classic Ys tunes - since Ys 1-3 have like ten different versions - and the PCE versions always stand out. Like on this track for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUz9G184giI (PCE version starts at 5:15)

    Kinda fascinated atm with how good the PC Engine / TurboGrafx CD OST quality was way back around 1990.

    I think they’re doing pretty OK nowadays. It’s Western Europe that’s currently rediscovering fascism and the far right currently I know that the Balkans have a reputation of being cheap and pretty, so it’s quite a popular tourist destination, though I’ve never been there.

    Speakling of job systems, when do you plan to dive into Bravely Default?

    Oh, don’t get me wrong, the context is extremely silly, but I think the 1000 Words scene is just very well directed, showcasing a level of visual storytelling that was so far beyond anything SE could do with X cutscenes that it was also kinda hilarious. But yeah, to each his own I guess. I’ll definitely admit the gameplay doesn’t hold up. Somehow it’s much more interesting on paper than it is in execution

    I appreciate the fact that it’s not serious at all, and I just love how it unintentionally just ruins everything about X. Then there’s stuff like the 1000 words scene which I think is genuinely moving - far more than anything X did to try and move me. I also like this job system - it’s not my favorite of the series, but it’s fun to play around in. Other than that though? Yeah, it’s just not a very good game overall. I don’t find it offensively bad, I just think that it has a tendency to favor tedium over clever and interesting game design. What good it does by giving you open access to the world from the beginning it takes away by you having to do everything specifically like the game wants you to (without telling you what it is) if you want to see the golden ending. And then there’s the grind in some of those sidequest.

    It’s just frustrating, you know? I love it for its campiness and sheer audacity of its existence what with X trying to make itself out as this piece of high literature, but overall this game just demands too much of my patience.

    So I'm near the end of my 100% FFX-2 playthrough and I've decided this was a weird period in SE's history where they've decided that all side activities have to be as tedious and un-fun as possible. In X, you had what is most likely the absolute worst set of minigames in the series, while X-2 expects you to spend hours grinding for innocuous trout at the very last leg of the game. I want to be done with this quickly just so I never have to look at that game ever again.

    Oh, I'm not exactly upset over this. Just figured this was interesting But yeah, I'm now getting tons of ideas for refining the first half of the book and it looks like a whole lot will change, and the premise might actually end up being interesting after all. The problem with me is that I like stories that lure you into thinking this is something much more regular, cliche even, and then bam - everything is thrown on its head later. The issue with that is that you can't exactly sell that without spoiling everything. So now I kinda still wanna do that but make the initial part actually interesting as well.

    So I’ve finished a longer chapter recently, which I’m proud of, but after finishing it I realized I’m like 99% gonna axe this subplot, and therefore the scene in question will be cut as well.

    The most tempting thing for me right now is to just... go back and rewrite the whole novel because it's been going on for so long that my vision has changed like five times since the start, so draft zero is now wildly incohesive. But I know that I just need to press on and then unify stuff later instead.

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
