The gameplay is the same as Ogre Battle, a franchise that has been dead for decades until now. I played Unicorn Overlord's demo and didn't really get it. It's a really technical autobattler with really tropey characters. I was bored when I wasn't confused

🥇 Twelve

🥈 Fifteen

🥉 Bravely Second

I played twelve to 100% completion as a kid (except killing Yiazmat) so it's formative to what fantasy games are to me. The incredible worldbuilding of Ivalice is something that I've yet to see done in another game.

I adore the boy band of fifteen and even though I think the plot is trite and perfunctory, it's still one of my favorite games because the camaraderie is so strong. It really captures the (final) fantasy of having friends and time to spend with them.

Do the Bravely games count? I think they do. Anyway, the second game has the most fun combat system out of any jrpg I've played. The plot's cheesy, but it executed it very sincerely which is refreshing and I'll never forget the moment where

I agree, it really is strange that they've left Okami's sequel forgotten on the DS. I bet most people don't even know that there is a sequel

They're both on PSP. Patapon is a rhythm game where you play war drums to command a troop of little guys and LocoRoco is a platformer where you play as the planet to push around cute, musical blobs.

Btw I specified 2 because the sequels of these games make the originals look like rough drafts. Though the sequels to the sequels (Patapon 3 and LocoRoco Midnight Carnival) are completely different to the prior entries, and low-key worse.

I'm playing Okamiden and it's so funny that it's a DS game. Everything is so crunchy and the open world is really just a long hallway, to account for the D-pad. Aside from the veeeeery slow text speed I don't mind though, it's charming.

I just finished purrgatory yesterday! It's a really cute visual novel about befriending weirdos and going to heaven. Getting the best ending took me the entire afternoon but it was worth it. Highly recommend if it looks interesting to you (it's free and playable in your browser (but maybe not on mobile))

After you seal the deal with a socialist fraternal kiss, a Soviet is formed

True. Though Alabama's doing it cuz they ran out of juice but want to keep killing people anyway. It seems like there's more backlash to this method than to the usual murders, but I think the South just needs to make it more American. Lock people in a room with a truck running and you'll have the support of patriots everywhere.

Generally yeah, but let's see who's gonna advocate in favor of gassing inmates.

Seriously who approved the design of the dead hands?? I think the video game certification people never got that far into the game. Straight up creepypasta shit

I think OoT is creepier than Majora's Mask because of how its scary stuff is hidden away in an otherwise normal adventure game.

But I've heard (non-chud) people say "dude" to refer to the person they're talking to in a gender neutral way. As an interjection, mostly.

I don't have any clips to share but I'm positive that Anne from Amphibia calls all her friends "dude"
