@Xkeeper whoa that is a great improvement, though wouldn't the difficulty still be non-existent?

(sounds like i am not the only one who dislikes this beloved game?)

@alyx yeah, but at least it wasn't annoying. oops, i pushed a button a frame too soon and blew it

besides, i don't really play games for super challenges, i just want to have fun. real life is hard enough

@Xkeeper
that's legit

for me, there's fewer things that keep me engaged with games these days but sometimes the feeling of facing/overcoming a challenge can be one of them

@alyx yeah, diff strokes for diff folks. 's why the ability to choose your level of challenge is an important accessibility thing

@thindol that's cool. i know very little about how it actually plays since it got so much flak i wrote it off.

@alyx It's basically a 2.5-D beat-em-up - with a large, but optional, house/crafting RPG system. The AI is derpy in a hilarious way and it has OK co-op.

If you've played Odin Sphere it'll be very familiar.

Most reviews at the time blasted it for not being a traditional JRPG where you are the hero - instead, you follow 3 distinct stories (+ side stories) as you help each story's MC Do The Thing and/or Save the X. (The Jumi are my favorite story.)

@ramona that game is hideo tho

@ramona srsly tho i've always hated the look so much i didn't care to try it. i have heard it actually has merit, but it's hard for me to get past that artstyle

@alyx yeah, it's not as colorful as the other Squaresoft games, which is a strike against it. but there's a lot of charm underneath it that makes it worthwhile.
