Got a retail copy of Sparks of Hope for 30 bucks.

Feels surreal seeing this kind of discount on a Mario game. Especially one so recent. Guess the game really didn't perform well.

In this case I wouldn't say it's indicative of the game's performance. Ubisoft always does this with their games, from what I've heard. In fact, some believe the whole reason the game didn't sell as well on release is that everyone decided to wait a few months for the game to go on sale lol

Either way, good pick. I really did quite love that game. Do check out the original as well if you find the time. While I personally found the sequel to be vastly superior, I've seen quite a few online that say the original was better in some regards that might appeal more to your preferences.

Walkthrough fucked up badly here, the old man doesn't give you the Round Jewel until after you beat Unicorn Cave, not before.

It's actually possible to complete Unicorn Cave before Dancing Dragon Dungeon. I used to do it that way, getting the bananas for Moosh was a bit difficult.

Where is Lindon?

Moments with Mauvier

The Intermission is truly the chapter of Rixia... she really only got two scenes focusing on her, more if you spend tickets on her, but that's still more than she usually gets.

And then you get to the boss and oh no...

Spoiler

I spoke too soon about Luciola's cloud minions. I only got a game over once rather than spending an hour on the battle as in SC, so it could've been worse. Campanella properly introduces himself to the party and KeA is rescued from a sleepwalking episode, here I thought this would be a break chapter...

Campanella meets with the First and Sixth Anguis at the Celestial Globe... how can this be, the arc isn't even over yet! Regardless, this suggests that Ouroboros will presumably be more active going forward. The other Enforcers Campanella brings up are Bleublanc, Renne, and Luciola, so who knows who else will be involved in this mission. The First Anguis seems to be in charge of things whenever the Grandmaster is elsewhere, and I think this is the first reference (in a game I played so far) to the Grandmaster being female.

When she shows up, the Seventh Anguis mentions leaving "matters" in the hands of "the Oathbreaker". I'm not sure if I'd want someone with that title in my organization. She and Sixth are heading to Crossbell soon, so there will be maximum fun. And importantly, Duvalie hype.

Shizuku underwent a surgical procedure and has her eyes open now, but her eyesight still hasn't recovered. I feel like everyone would be less disappointed if the surgery did nothing. I feel like the game will explain what caused her blindness sooner or later, and it's probably related to the circumstances behind her mother's death.

The game was developed and published by Ubisoft, not Nintendo, so that's why.

I remember Mario + Rabbids being called "the best selling third party game" during the Switch's first year, but it feels like cheating because Mario is in it...

Well to clarify, you had to beat every dungeon up to Unicorn Cave. So even if you did Unicorn Cave first, you'd still have to do Dancing Dragon.

So me and my brother decided to play through all of the Assassin's Creed games because we spent a couple hours laughing our asses off at the AC wiki and now want to see how insane the lore is first hand...again.

Like seriously, AC is basically "What if every conspiracy theory was true??" Nobody can die of natural causes and literally everything has to related to the generational war between Assassin's and Templars.

Like this is the wiki's description for capitalism

Legit based.

Too rich for me.

Alchemizing gold doesn't require philosopher's stone in this game, the ruby red stones haven't shown up at all. No recipes show it being necessary, as it looks like I mistook the darkened silhouette of Aroma Material for it. Maybe Gust wanted to bench the legendary substance for a bit.

I rather like the magnetic gloves. Zelda's first use of magnetism and don't forget that Magnesis!, they're kinda cool. And, they add a what was then novel tool for puzzling that keeps Oracle of Seasons from being left completely in the dust by OoA. That you sometimes have to reverse polarity while Link is over bottomless pits is interesting, Link rarely has to do actions like that, usually his feet are firmly on the ground when puzzling.

There is one thing you haven't been told about AC. None of the lore you speak of was real, it only became real once some people started believing it was real, it then retroactively became reality. The arrow of time flows selectively backwards.😛

Sweaty palms moment. But yeah, Magnetic Gloves are a very cool weapon. Wouldn't be surprised if Magensis was inspired by it.

Only other time besides those two that Zelda played around with magents was in Twilight Princess, for specific portions using the Iron Boots.
