    Well I do really enjoy the aesthetic. In general I’m a fan of forest locations, but this also combines that with a spooky house and a cathedral, so that makes it right up my alley. The atmosphere is great and the fact that I’m most cases it’s the first dungeon with keys that you get, it just makes a lasting impression. I also really like the puzzles here since they’re intuitive without being too easy. And so far it’s been one of the least combat-heavy dungeons. I just think it’s neat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Ok so Standard Quest or Master Quest, Forest Temple is still my favorite OoT dungeon

    I think they can work. Half of Bowser’s Inside Story is basically a womb level and it’s actually super fun. But Jabu Jabu is just bad.

    Ruto herself is actually fine imo. It’s just a combination of the prevalence of electrifying enemies, more obtuse puzzles than usual, and just a generally hideous, offputting design that make this dungeon an absolute chore for me

    Well, I think you’ve found a niche to fill them Personally aside from a few reviewers (like Yahtzee and Buns, whom you’ve mentioned yourself), I actually stray away from most of gaming YouTube. A lot of it for me just boils down to people wanking off games they’ve put on a pedestal from playing them since childhood and I’m really thirsty for videos that actually analyze games in a critical manner from a more cultural lens. Basically stuff like Lindsay Ellis, Jack Saint and the like do for other pop culture stuff. The only person that actually comes close to that imo is Super Bunnyhop, who I feel actually makes meaningful commentary and actually influences the discourse. But then even he started out with videos like why LTTP is worse than OoT in the usual self-indulgent way these game-related videos tend to go.

    In semi-unrelated news, today I was reminded why Jabu Jabu’s Belly is my absolute least favorite dungeon in the entire series

    Yeah, in that regard the crystals in BD are played more straight, since they’re benevolent forces of nature here, but there’s still a nice deconstructive twist here. Namely, the crystals don’t exactly communicate with the party at all, with just one character actually having some sort of connection to them, but still the party is left to mostly figure out what to do and how to do it on their own, with this sort of decisiveness and dealing with the consequences of your decisions being a main theme.

    I always like to think that FF started deconstructing crystals much later, as far as VI and VII. Magicite and Materia may not be exactly the same but they are stand-ins for the crystals and their very existence and the way the parties use them presents an ethical or even moral dilemma that just wasn’t there in previous FFs.

    That is exactly what I mean with proper establishment should be done. Actually fleshing out these things. I love how Materia originally were called Spheres, by the way. But I guess back in the day that was too simple for them. And when it comes to the Lifestream, my God, I mean, technically even XIII has that as Lightning Returns showed. So yeah, establish things. I like the neat little ideas but I want proper answers. Same goes for the Remake ending which people are so sure about and how things work when there is so much ambiguity and inconsistency about it.

    I mean, it is weird. Let's not start that. It does barely anything new to contribute to a proper establishment. But I personally am glad that at least that is in there.

    Yeah, BD is much more straightforwardly aping FFIII and FFV in that regard. I’m still curious to play 4HoL, but it’s kind of hard to get ahold of nowadays.

    I could not see it during my runs because it is a background detail. A picture. But somebody with a sharp eye actually looked at it for more than the 2 seconds that I did. Shinra from FFX-2 is in a picture in the Shinra museum.

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
