    So Undertale was a blast. So glad I finally gave it a chance. We actually stayed up waaaay late just to finish the True Pacifist route.

    Yeah it was an enjoyable experience but it's too hard for me to go back and play it again. Might just watch the rest.

    Sorry for the mix up with the routes. I didn't look at them in detail, I just meant I didn't kill anybody and had no exp or anything like that >.<

    The pacifist route. Flowey went all bonkers and stuff and then told me to reload my save and then there was the whole thing with Asriel and them getting to the surface.

    I had to watch the second bit on youtube though because I had a lot of trouble with Asgore so I just watched from there

    Yeah, I agree. The Bayonetta thing amuses me because it's one of the most blatantly fanservice'y games out there, but it's also just completely unapologetic about it, not to mention that Bayonetta is an actual character that is clearly enjoying being sexy instead of being just a decorative set of boobs on legs, which makes her more active in this role, as she's always cocky and in control, rather than just something for you to watch and get your hands busy too.

    It kind of reminds me of FFX-2, though to a lesser extent. There really was no actual purpose for the dresspheres to be sexy - they just were and the girls were having fun, and in a way, that kind of treats them with more respect than making up some bulltrout excuse that really doesn't work. I mean, I haven't payed a single MGS game, but I kno Kojima is one of the most ambitious people on the market, so it was really disappointing to see his reasoning for Quiet, and then how smug he is about it.

    Still, though I don't need it in my games personally in any form whatsoever, I still think it's positive that something like Bayonetta exists and that sexiness can be implemented well in video games, and I'm looking forward to seeing this expand to men and potentially other genders so that people of all niches can enjoy what they like in their games. Men should probably come first, though, since I think it's safe to assume just there is a similar amount of straight women playing video games as there are straight men.

    Btw, here's an article on cracked that I reread recently about sexiness in video games. It's really interesting.

    Yeah they definitely have the same vibe. Got to love Jazz though.

    August 23rd I think?

    Plan to do some nature walks and stuff, but mostly just playing video games, reading, drawing, writing, cooking, relaxing. The fun home things.

    Pretty good. Might be discussing some big financial changes soon, going to the gym five times a week, probably going to the market this weekend, new recipes to try out, eating better (and less), playing vidya and enjoying the last month of vacation.

    Then I have school and I'm super nervous because I have to take 4 classes instead of three this time, including math

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA

YS VIII: LACRIMOSA OF DANA

If it's not clear by now, I adore the Ys series. I love how purely fun these games are, I love the simple sense of adventure, and the sense of genuine mystique from uncovering the lore of ancient places of legend. I love the way Falcom humanizes their characters and really makes them feel 'real' in a way other studios' JRPGs struggle to match. And whatever I may have said about Celceta it still is a game that has a lot of that.

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys: Memories of Celceta (Ys IV)

YS: MEMORIES OF CELCETA (YS IV)

Time for a quick history lesson! Ys IV's history is a strange one indeed. Back around its initial release there were actually two games that were Ys IV, there was "Ys IV: Dawn of Ys" by Hudson Soft on the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) CD-ROM, and then there was "Ys IV: Mask of the Sun" by Tonkin House on the SNES. How did that happen? Well Falcom were in a bit of a situation at

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys Seven

YS SEVEN

Heading into the final era of Ys games and in the series' timeline the chronologically last of the localized games so far we have Ys Seven. Released for the PSP in late 2009 and ported to the PC years later, this game marks a heavy departure from earlier titles in the series in terms of graphics, gameplay and storytelling alike. The shift was met with mixed reception, but given all that came out of it, I couldn't be

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys Origin

YS ORIGIN

Now for perhaps one of the best-known games in the series, Ys Origin has gained quite a bit of notoriety especially on Steam, probably mainly because its Steam trailer is super hype. Does it deserve it? Well, to put it very simply... hell yeah it does.


As mentioned already, in Ys Origin you do not play as Adol. That's because this game is a prequel to the Ys I & II duology,

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys: The Oath in Felghana (Ys III)

YS: THE OATH IN FELGHANA (YS III)

The third Ys game was known in the SNES era as "Wanderers of Ys", and was the game to introduce a lot of the western world to the series. Its reputation overall has been mixed, being a sort of "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" of the Ys series, ditching the overhead view for a sidescrolling adventure and as already implied not really being about the land of Ys at all anymore,
