Playing more LUCT and I just fought battles against 1) a pregnant woman whose husband I had killed in a previous battle, and 2) a man who wanted the bounty on my head so he could afford treatment for his ill daughter. And boy!!!!

Cleared Persona 2: Innocent Sin Today

What a masterpiece! I totally understand why it’s loved by the many that have played it. It’s my second favourite Persona game now (P3 will always be my first love)

I’ll eventually try Eternal Punishment on stream at some point. Really want to know what happens next.

I made Jun and Tatsuya my canon couple btw

I need the Zack Fair fans of the world who do not play Kingdom Hearts to know that Zack Fair does appear in kingdom hearts. He's in the prequel game hanging out on the same world you find Cloud on in KH1 and he has a noticeably younger design (if the timeline is the same as it is in the original games then he's probably about 14) and he's this excitable spunky kid who wants to be a hero and then the game moves on and that's the last time we ever see him. It's been over a decade in the games timeline and 15 years in the real world and no one has ever mentioned that kid but Cloud has the buster sword and refuses to connect with anyone and you the player just have to infer what happened to that plucky little kid. I think it's really important that everyone knows that.

This emergency is way beyond your training, cop.

Commission for @just-ornstein!

A wild Liss appeared in my DMs one day and was like, "let's do it this way, I throw moneys at you, and you make my gays look really cool and symbolic", and I said, "say no more!"

...well, it may not've gone one hundred percent according to my retelling, but the sentiment is pretty precise. We're taking this old ass game places, oh yeah woo yeah

Daily reminder that EP is just NG+ for Tatsuya.

Could you imagine being Rookie GhostbustersTheVideoGame and having all your uni buddies do internships for like offices or shit meanwhile you get to babysit manhattan's 5th strangest polycule.

Hi mod here, I was wondering what your thoughts are on how this AU would apply to the Kizuki (or at least those who are show for more than half an episode and are a bit more fleshed out) instead of the Hashira; Assuming that Muzan doesn't get pissy about it and kill all of them.

( I am so sorry but I genuinely don’t see a world where Muzan would take care of them or leave them alive or anything… besides this AU and this page is Hashira centric!

Tumblr ate my on post reply so anon ask. Even though Muse has more direct resistance themed music; for the Survival Au I feel like Big Freeze would be a great choice for the playlist.

An interesting choice - after listening for a minute, I don’t think it quite matches the mood. ^^;

I actually already had a playlist in mind for a while (since Survival AU is based on one of my storyline ideas for the story after DxP REWRITE following whatever happens in the eventual BW remake / sequel) - it’s the soundtrack by one of my favorite artists, Akiko Shikata, from an obscure virtual novel “花帰葬 Hanakisou (Funeral Flowers)”. Never played it, though I really loved the manga.

(title screen - at a glance you can see why it’s the first thing I thought of for this AU)

There’s tons of BW symbolism as well - the main characters are the Savior Hanashiro (“white flower”) & the one who’s said to destroy the world, Kuroto (“black mystery”). They are guarded by Shirofukurou (“white owl”) & Kurotaka (“black hawk”) respectively, trying to find a way to save the world from endless winter without Kuroto having to die. Duality, winter & spring, despair & hope, the idea of what a “savior” is & what it is to “be saved”, etc. Goes deep into that stuff, like this AU does.

I was planning on sharing some tracks on some posts, mostly from the orchestra version, but here’s a sample from the PSP soundtrack: a violin version of the main theme (sorry if it cuts out in the end there - this was the best I could find lol) ❄️

I feel that it may be time . . . to revisit an old friend.

[space-spring]

I reblogged that post the other day about never finishing video games and it made me stop and think hard about my life and the fact that. oh my god....... I really DO never finish video games........... So I have changed my ways by finishing up Chapter 4 and the ending of Chaos route for Tactics Ogre! Tons of endgame spoilers ahead but here are my bullet-pointed highlights:

My guy Azelstan the pirate! I love him. His whole arc with losing his daughter reminded me a little of Svarog and Hossabara from Triangle Strategy (albeit with substantially more nihilism!), and finding him at the port and then going through the story with the girl he takes under his wing made me die a little inside.

I do really appreciate the fact that even once he joins you he's still a little bit of a mess! I feel like a lot of the characters join Denam out of anger or honor or something else equally passionate, and meanwhile Azelstan's out here going "I've lost everything I love and this is just a decent way to try and make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else." He's simply a very sad old man and I love him a lot

This is not a highlight per se but it IS funny: I had to play the whole pirate cove dungeon where you recruit him like three or four times because I kept thinking I had the recruitment conditions fulfilled and then. did not in fact have the recruitment conditions fulfilled. I killed SO many ghosts. I got to the point where I just bought like 30 exorcism arcanas before going in so I could just have anyone regardless of cleric status blast the stilled undead whenever I needed to

AUGHKDHJSHDGHJJS. I am. SO unwell about the Sherri recruitment scene. I cannot express just how much I am unwell about the Sherri recruitment scene. All the Phoraena sisters really are so cool and good and I spontaneously combust whenever they come on screen but this scene is just AUUUUUGH........ It kills me thinking about how long Sherri's been hiding out because she doesn't think anyone will welcome her back and meanwhile her sisters just!!! love her so much!!!!!!!!!! and SHE loves THEM so much!!!!!! it just makes me go woaugh..........

I also just replayed some of the earlier chapters with Cerya and Cistina to test out the endgame rewind feature, and I take back my little chart I made of them a while back where they're arguing over clothes and things. All of the sisters are defined first and foremost by Being Willing To Sacrifice Everything For Each Other and I love them so much about it

And in addition to all the Phoraena sister dynamics, looking at this scene through the perspective of Denam ALSO having a sister who's keeping herself apart because she feels unloved is so. wowowowow

And on that note Denam and Catiua are rotating around in my head 24/7!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really so in love with how far the writers went with their argument and fallout and also insane about the bad ending in this scenario because AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!?!?! and also I'm just a sucker for guilt arcs and having to live with mistakes even when it'd be easier not to. Catiua's absolutely insane (affectionate) and I think it's so fun how she changes things around and really comes into her own after this.

Also I really really love that the two of them got to have such a narratively clear conversation about everything that went down!!!!! This is a complete tangent but I sometimes kind of go insane over the fact that in Triangle Strategy we really don't get to see a ton of Roland and Cordelia after they reunite and Whiteholm is retaken. They have. so many things to talk about, and Cordelia has more than a few valid reasons to feel resentment toward Roland for the way he handled retaking Whiteholm. The closest they come to really talking about how they feel is that scene where they're standing in the garden and Roland's trying to explain why he killed Avlora and Cordelia just kinda quietly goes, "I know. I get it. I can't blame you." And while that scene is fun in its own "this bad boy can fit SO many emotionally traumatized Cordelia headcanons in it" sort of way, it's also so so so nice to see Denam and Catiua do the opposite and actually sit down and hash it out for a bit. They get to talk about why they're angry!!! They both get to explain themselves and then reassure each other that they're still loved!!!! They get to be genuinely close again and work as a team!!!!! and I love that for them :)

Also with comparisons to Cordelia, Catiua very distinctly doesn't get sidelined after Denam rescues her!!!! She's an active participant in the war and really takes charge over Denam, which is very neat imo, and I love getting to see her coronation and speech at the end

THIS ATTACK SPECIFICALLY. The whole final boss was so cool but I actually gasped and sat back when I saw this, it was just so so different than any of the other graphics in the game and it made me go nuts

AAAAOAUGH GHAGHG

The credits are really pretty :)

RHCKCHHGLGLRLRLAHHJG I am once again foaming at the mouth about the way the game blends game mechanics and story this is SUCH a fun explanation for how the whole world tarot system works and also I am absolutely gutted by the idea of Denam doing this canonically because he can't stand the regret of the choices he's had to make. I feel like Denam's guilt over the entire conflict isn't explicitly mentioned a ton (he actively makes a lot of comments to the effect of "I'm doing what my honor dictates and I have nothing to be ashamed of") and then every once in a while the game comes back and slaps you with stuff like this. Like hey. hey. yasumi matsuno. can we talk? I jst wantto talkk

Also all the endgame content is SO GOOD. I'm starting to move over to Reborn because I want to experience all the voice acting and stuff over on that version, but it's also so hard to leave my team and all the cool stuff I've unlocked. I need to read up on it more but I'm 90% sure you can recruit Lancelot and Warren if you do the Palace of the Dead stuff which I avoided in Chapter 4, so I'm tempted to go back and do that on there sometime. Or mayhaps I'll just play it through on Reborn once I get through Lawful and Neutral!

But yeah!!! Overall, such a fun route and a fun game and a fun ending :) I do feel like I want to come back to Chaos route once I've finished the other two, because I miss Vyce and the role-playing part of my RPG-obsessed brain really wants him to survive the canon-ish ending because I think there's a ton of things from the beginning of the route that I'll think differently on now that I've finished (like all of the stuff building up to Vyce going nuts and Catiua leaving).

ummm what if we were teenage gays in love but one of us was in denial of his sexuality and another one craved affection......

[bokujou-monogatari]

Do you like Innocent Life: a fantasy harvest moon? It's my favourite one :D

Absolutely! It's my favorite of the Bokumono spinoffs :)

I've got a lot of scans of that game that I can upload in the future as well...but here!

It's a very carefully written narrative on the concept of "being human" and what humanity means.
