• Fake Out cannot be selected after it’s used once
• Many widely-used items (Choice Specs/Bands, Life Orb, AV) are just missing
• Less than 200 Pokémon currently
• NS2 version is still low-res/30 FPS
• Stalwart Mega Skarmory

Also Mega Hawlucha can give its allies No Guard for 100% accurate 1-hit KO moves lmao

Why do some JRPGs explode into the mainstream while others stay niche? 🎮💭

In this episode, we break down what helped series like Persona and Final Fantasy reach a wider audience, and why other great JRPGs don’t always get the same level of attention.

We dive into the role of marketing, budgets, and publisher strategy, along with how timing, accessibility, and overall presentation can shape a game’s reach

BIG BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS

The frame stutter issue that progresses throughout a session until it renders the game unplayable can apparently only be fixed by downgrading steam to a version from 2024?? crazy that that sort of thing can just happen and there's no recourse. Although maybe if I play it on a powerful enough machine I can just brute force past it?

My partner got it for me a week or two ago because it was on sale for $3 and it's been a lot of fun so far. Reading about it kind of put me off from it because I thought the class/skill progression would be more similar to Path of Exile, but it's not. Basically at level 1 and level 10 you get to pick a class, but each class has its own set skill tree. For some reason the description I'd initially read made me think there'd be more granular customization of skills instead, which I wouldn't really like (because if I'm just mixing/matching whatever I want, it's hard for me to feel like my character is whatever class they're supposed to be? idk)

I would say it's actually A LOT more fun than path of exile and that the only thing POE does better is allow WASD + Mouse movement but maybe that's just a testament to how much I really, really hate POE's class/skill progression (OH BOY, I LEVELED UP. TIME TO PUT MY >>>ONE<<< SKILL POINT INTO: 0.2% HEALTH REGEN PER SECOND!! WOW)

I wouldn't say it's necessarily worth buying at full price but it's 10000% worth it if you like Diablo esque ARPGs and it goes on $3 sale again

i just yoinked the dusk trilogy off of fitgirl and was gonna start with atelier ayesha. i never played any of these before, is there a better trilogy or specific game that would be best to start with as i'm just being introduced to the franchise? or does it not really matter?

i'll basically be going in without knowing anything, it just caught my eye cause the art design is really pretty

Final Fantasy XV didn’t just have a troubled development; it was built on a foundation that would never work. Square Enix created Crystal Tools for Final Fantasy XIII, a highly linear game… and then tried to use that same technology to build an open-world project in Versus XIII. What followed was nearly a decade of delays, engine rewrites, and constant restructuring, until the original vision collapsed into something else entirely.

In this episode, we break down how management decisions, engine limitations, and shifting priorities turned one of the most anticipated Final Fantasy games into one of its most infamous development cycles.

Final Fantasy Tactics doesn’t sound like a typical Final Fantasy game. That’s exactly why it works.

In this episode, we break down the soundtrack of Final Fantasy Tactics, composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata, and explore how its music reinforces the game’s darker tone, political narrative, and tactical gameplay.

Instead of upbeat, heroic themes, Tactics leans into restraint; using repetition, pacing, and shifting musical movements to subtly influence how you think and play. From battle themes that manage player urgency, to leitmotifs that mirror character relationships, this is a soundtrack designed with purpose at every level.

We also dive into:

• Why Sakimoto’s original “Final Fantasy-style” music was rejected

• How Yasumi Matsuno shaped the sound of the game

• The role of leitmotif in storytelling (Alma, Delita, and beyond)

• Why Tactics’ battle music never gets tiring—even after dozens of encounters

• How the soundtrack blurs the line between game music and film scoring
