Started Magic Knight Rayearth today. Honestly it's a mystery why I haven't watched it sooner since it's a mix of magical girls and mecha both of which I love a bunch.

I made it to disk 2. The big event at the end of disk 1 didn't hit me that hard, but that isn't because it was lacking or anything like that. It's because of just how much I've been spoiled on the game. If I played it when I was younger without knowing anything then I would have been devastated.

I got Tifa for my date. I like her but honestly I was hoping for Barret. Though I guess getting him to show up isn't happening if you don't what to do.

I finished Corrector Yui. It fell off a bit during the second half. I didn't really care much for Ai and Kurokawa was really lame villain compared to the Corruptors who were a fun bunch of goofs. But even then it was a fun show overall. I think anyone that likes magical girl anime would enjoy this.

Congrats! When I did my playthrough of Ys Origin I did it on nightmare. My fingers hated me by the end of it but it was still an amazing experience.

A screen shot of Final Fantasy VII. Cloud(in disguise) is speaking with Red XIII(also in disguise). The textbox roughly translates to ....It's me. Red XIII.

I never thought Red XIII could pull off a disguise like that since he's a dog and all but I never should have doubted him. All I can say is I love you Red XIII. I'd give you a big hug if I could.

I finished the Midgar portion of FF7. The part where you sneak into the Shinra building was great fun but what I really want to do is call Rufus a stupid little nepo baby. And to beat him up too of course. But if I was there when he was yapping then he would have been called a nepo baby to his face.

Ditto but for anime. Well except for the ones with garbage anime adaptations like Biscuit Hammer and Houshin Engi. I'm basing those off the manga. (I should probably just do a manga one too for those cases but eh.)

Made a 5x5 games chart. It's not ranked in any specific order though. I tried to keep it to one game per series too otherwise there would be a lot more of certain series. Some are recent favorites but others like Zelda I'm not really into now, but loved when I was a kid so not including it felt off.

Partway through Corrector Yui's second season. I've noticed that the screentime for the other correctors has been really lopsided in favor of Control and Rescue. I like them best so I don't mind it much but the first season definitely did a better job at balancing them out.

Got started on Final Fantasy VII today. I never actually played it before but because the game is so famous I already know so much about what goes on in it. That being said though knowing a spoiler and knowing the full context are two very different things so it's nice to experience the actual game.

Etrian Odyssey is probably the only Atlus series that I'm truly passionate about. I do like SMT but it's not a favorite and I never got into any of the Persona games I played. But with Etrian Odyssey I actually own a copy of every game in the series with a bunch of hours put into each of them.

Just make a gacha out of it! Surely that won't backfire! Seriously though when I got into Towelket I was hooked and played everything that was out at the time. Unless someone just wasn't really feeling it then I can't imagine only playing the first three.

Control from Corrector Yui being a doofus.

Control realizing how much of a doofus he is.

Nearly finished with the first part of Corrector Yui. The cast is generally pretty fun but I especially love Control. He's such a loveable dork.

Which is why even though I don't care much for the idea of reboots I can see a reboot of this working well. I can easily imagine an episode where Yui has to fight someone using generative AI stealing the art of others to make his own monstrosities. Today's internet can make for a lot of episodes.

Kasuga Yui from the 1999 anime Corrector Yui

Started Corrector Yui a few days ago. It's a late 90s magical girl show except instead of getting magical powers to fight monsters Yui goes to VR worlds to fight viruses. It's charming to see the writers imagined future internet but there is a bit of a bittersweetness looking at the internet today.

I get you. I really do. Her and her maid make for really wonderful toxic yuri. I don't think I'm going to get the game since I'm not that interested in Pokemon right now but I can't say I wasn't tempted.

Probably gonna take a bit of a break from RPGs after playing so many in a row though. I wouldn't say I'm brunt out just yet. If I really wanted to I could probably play one more, but I'd definitely be brunt out by the end of that one and there have been other stuff I've been wanting to play.

I cleared Romancing SaGa 3. What an amazing game. I think I prefer 2 overall but it's still really close. I don't plan on replaying it right away but I'm already thinking of how I want to tackle my next playthrough of the game.

So thankful for multiple saves. I've made it to the final dungeon of RS3 but there is no going back when you enter. I think I can take on the final boss but I'd rather make extra preparations just to be safe.

I love doing quests for this lady. She knows that there are better rewards than things like gear or money.

-She did thousands of HP worth of damage to my whole party including herself. The mental image made me laugh but I cried soon after because it was near the end of a dungeon and I hadn't saved. Any enemy that could charm after that instantly became a priority target because that traumatized me.

Image with three boxes labeled who joined my party, what I expected, and what I got. Who joined my party is the Fairy from Romancing SaGa 3, what I got is Peter Pan's Tinkerbell trapped, refencing the time when you first meet the Fairy, what I got is Dynasty Warriors' Lu Bu because the Fairy is surprisingly very physically strong.

I don't usually make meme images but I had to in this case. RS3's fairy is surprisingly strong. I was expecting some kind of spell caster from her but she's got muscle! One of the most standout moments from her was when she got seduced by a lilith while she was going to do a AoE attack.-

-it always felt weird to me. When you say that the democratisation can only be a unambiguous good I totally agree. It doesn't happen often but there are cases of the outfit getting censored (Tales of Symphonia for example.) and that's only due to fear of lawsuits from playboy.

This was an interesting read. I don't remember when exactly I first saw a bunnygirl but it was definitely from something Japanese (probably Dragon Ball) and just thought of it as cosplay outfit. I didn't know about the playboy connection until a few years later. So the idea that they somehow owned-

Got em. It's pretty obvious but defensive formations really go a long way for boss fights.

A freaky fish guy and fish food.

I thought I was ready to take on my first sinistral but I got beaten badly. Chances are it's more that I need to change up my approach over being too weak though. Gonna have to experiment and see what works. More important though the spriteart for this game is AMAZING. That's a late SNES game for ya

I just did the Robin quest in Romancing SaGa 3. While the original Robin is super cool from the moment I saw the fake Robin I knew he would have a permanent spot on my team. I'm still getting a feel for the other characters but this guy I'm taking all the way to the final boss.

Cleared Dragon Quest VI. I managed to beat the final boss on my first try but only because I could take advantage of the wagon. If it wasn't for that then I would have gotten wrecked by his final form. I wish Terry joined sooner though. He's cool but he joins late and at a pretty low level too.

I feel like I got monkey pawed. Kurt is very close to my ideal FE protagonist but she's stuck in a game I've got no faith in. I doubt IS has any faith in it too since they just shadow dropped it with no advertisement. She should have been the MC of a mainline game.
