Your response matters.

I guarantee you there is a whole department of people at Prime Video who is quietly celebrating today.

Keep up the good fight, everyone.

Funnily enough, people have beaten the whole thing solo, and a member of the Discord channel even completed an almost 3 hr speedrun of the full game (+postgame)! That'll never be me. ๐Ÿ’€ Even I don't have that patience ๐Ÿคฃ

Originally the game was meant to have ONE ending, but due to its popularity and no true superbosses and "big" challenges to speak of, I whipped up the post-game!

Mind you this isn't an attempt to change your mind. I'm just explaining my process ๐Ÿฅธ. You're free to feel as you do! But thanks again!!!

The main game (up to the first ending) I'd designed solely around a player who took a casual approach to the game, and may not have unlocked and/or found the best of the best. The post-game, on the other hand, was developed with a person who'd gathered and done absolutely everything in mind!

01.12.2025 22:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Thanks for the support and posting your adventure! I enjoyed keeping up with it. But please don't consider the post-game "mandatory." It came from a need to offer players who'd scoured every inch of the game and sunk a ton of time into building their parties various (intense) challenges.

Drago from Beloved Rapture is a formidable opponent in Infinite Alliance. Despite being a hero in the past, his actions have driven him to a darker path.

Of course, in a new world, he isn't alone. He also has his mighty wyvern to aid him in battle. Drago's boss battle will bring a lot of heat, so be prepared!

Scarmonde on Steam 8-Bit Styled dungeon-crawler wherein you assemble a party from 12 Classes to brave The Depths in search of the Dragon God's Sacred Treasures!

I can't remember which of you folks recommended Scarmonde. I just finished the demo. Wishlisted this for when I have money/time again.

This plays like if an 8-bit FF game decided to lean more into the Wizardry influences. But with balanced difficulty.

I'm sorry, but I have to admit that I kinda LOVE how divisive the story (particularly its ending) is in Scarmonde.

Some LOVE it, others DESPISE it, and almost everyone's interpretation of the story is different. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Was playing this on my way to japan and back and I highly recommend it if your the type that really likes trying to make up different team synergies throughout a campaign. If you liked FF V this is probably up your alley
