Yeah I loved that they showed all those past-selves of the female character at the end. And then the post credits designs...makes me want to go look at some high fashion photobooks, and read some more fss

What did you think....the theater was so silent at the end LMAO I felt like the fss to xenogears to gothicmade loop has gone full circle with that final words on screen section. Sound design in the Mecha section was so cool tho and the sekaikan makes me wanna make Spiritual Mecha games ...

I always quit my playthroughs immediately at a little before the slog point (which I learned Nintendo forced retro to add to pad out the game). Also did you know the devs wanted autechre to do the OST lol

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that about the overworld!!

It's you...VOLCANO KID!! HAHAHA!!!

Our souls need to reach each other. That's the only reason to practice game design as a craft. But beware of diluting your soul. (She slept for 3 hours and is posting again)

its time...to go to era...!

ありがとう！

ありがとうございます！！

-8 I think! 9PM in Japan

i just checked and the manuals have world maps! ruins the surprise a bit but on the other hand, it's a physical manual and not a single tempting button press away (filled with quest icons)

for better or worse based on the 30 minute cutscene at the start of DQ2 it feels like they turned dq1 and 2 into playable japanese daytime TV dramas. Which.. well.. okay... I am just not that interested in, but omg i cant believe they just flat out give you the WHOLE WORLD MAP right away

I would read a post about this, loved mps art style

Yeah that's what I like about its design, it's ultimately pretty open ended! Like getting to decide when to save the princess (or not!) was cool

Wholesome sounds right lol, it's very comfy in some ways. And in some ways you could see the accumulation as gold like one of those 2020s indie small business games hahaha...

I do appreciate that it cares about character design, music, and being funny though, but there's this undercurrent of "vanilla cleanness" to it that feels a bit tame to me vs some of the contemporaries

Hard not to see parallels with how number grindy roguelites are popular now amidst capitalist success narratives, and how dq1 has that narrative of "if you just grind enough and make number go up you'll succeed "...which sounds like the mental logic of a booming 80s economy, nuclear family isms
