Back then, only Trails in the Sky FC was localized, and only on the PSP (iirc it was 2014 or 2015).

SC, 3rd, Zero and Ao already existed but were stuck overseas. Especially Zero and Ao, whose PC versions were iirc chinese and contractually stuck there.

Suddenly, SC was announced for localization and I was happy to get back to it.

Played SC, 3rd and CS1 back when 3rd was released (my foot was broken so I pretty much just stayed home playing)

Nowadays I still have a fond place for Trails, but CS1 and CS2 didn't click on me and I'm pessimistic about CS3 onwards. I enjoyed Zero and I plan on playing Ao soon, though. Then idk how I'll recap CS1, but I don't really want to play it again.

OK cool ty for answering.

So we just need to heron big enough to refresh entire games!

Honestly, the only reason I don't put the Suikoden 5 castle above Budehuc is that it's mainly all the same color.

That's true...visually S5 was kinda bland sometimes. But I just like the way it expands and the denizens and the overall structure of the castle. Thanks for your quick response.

I doubt it. I believe you're thinking of Ar-wing Pilot.

TY

Ya exactly, because Satan was the first one to slip up (?), he didn't have any prior warnings to go by. Everyone else has his example to learn from.

Given the vast and continuing history of human sin, learning from prior mistakes does not seem to be a remarkably effective strategy.

When I see Satan I'll try that on him I guess. Anything helps.

Gross.

Just read the Kabbalah.

I think this one is it.

Huh I dunno what to say. I have played Stein's;Gate and a bit of 0 but I'm too lazy to think of a connection.

Pains me to say it, but it might not mean anything.

OK OK it's the hackers 😕 ... I left a message here that seems to have gone away.

I never actually wound up getting a job in journalism, but the smattering of classes I took in it were enough to help qualify as a teacher of Media Studies. I did wind up doing one assignment court-reporting, but never professionally.

I used to be named SeverIan, that's why.

Oh...so you too were also a Journeyman for The Seekers of Truth and Penitence?

Technically I'm still employed.

huh. I dunno, it might have been entirely coincidence!

every now and then when I spot you I return to your profile to check your name history to make sure you're severian like I keep thinking you are 😛

but uh.... hey, late happy birthday!!!

I still feel stupid for severing Ian.

i've read some of his short stories! just a few though

which novel? he's mostly known for his short stories (harlan), probably

Wow that was a badly written comment.

I meant to refer to"I have no mouth and cannot scream" but it looks like I forgot to ever specify that in the message.

Anyway, hope things are going well!

yeah IHNMACS is a CLASSIC. it even has a game, i think i prefer the short story's bleakness though

it's going great for me, you should try some scifi visual novels as i think they'd be up your alley (infinity series, zero escape series) or some philosophy ones (subahibi, the most forbidden love in the world) since i heard you enjoyed fata morgana

Is...is it...Michel's....

I beat the game and tbh romance isn't the kind of thing that can make me weep, but the last scene with Didier before you get out of the mansion pulled tears from my eyes. All in all it was really good generally too. I still think the first scenario was kinda meh, even though I thought Nell and Mellie were well done when they appeared in chapter 7.

i thought the themes and how the story connected was really good, everything makes sense when you complete the game imo. but i think the first 2 doors start off slower than the rest, especially the 1st one. the story really gets good in the 4th door

if you want something superficially similar you should try umineko

I'm sorry whah?....Im not sure i understand

(in 2 parts to make sure it'll fit). But just to be sure I went and watched the video, and realized that even though you didn't actually break the rocks in the vid, you commented that you found out later that you could. And was like "dang he knows everything." I wonder if I sort of unconsciously listened to you say that when I watched the vid earlier and it gave me the idea of doing it this time.

Haha, its certainly possible! I didn't think of it very quickly in my original attempts for it though I will admit

I don't think it's that useful for the most part, because even though they drop little hp blossoms, you don't really need HP at that point. If you've got full HP I guess you can collect them for a couple extra blue crystals.

Thanks for checking in.
