i'd love to refresh my memory on puyo and get back into the series more properly like i was in 2019-2020 but to be honest its also an incredibly exhausting series to get into just because of how scattered and strange its history is.... everyones always like "oh madou was so much better because it had more lore" but theres like a billion different versions of the lore and large chunks of it are still(?) untranslated and nobody can agree on which one is the real one

#like girl how old is schezo supposed to be #dont even get me started on the mess that is shin madou #honestly touhou is a similar series in that regard (older series that's gone through a lot of changes while keeping the same core gameplay)#even down to a reboot in the early 2000s that calls older lore into question #but the difference is that its history is very very well documented and translations are very very easy to find #which was honestly REALLY refreshing when i first got into it hahahah #anyway dont get me wrong i still love puyopuyo to death #im gonna be really sad if puyotet2's less than stellar sales means the next entry doesnt make it overseas #but im much more comfortable with it being a secondary interest these days...#ive mostly given up caring too much about the lore. new age games are silly and for the most part self contained anyway #and to be honest i like them best that way #bri talks
