where have these games been all my life

I consider myself quite the JRPG buff. I've played the classics, I've cried about 'em as much as the next guy, and I feel like I've reached the limit...? As in, I've played so many of the classics I've moved onto untranslated games to satiate my needs. My jp level is baby mode but it's been fun to brute force it and learn! But there's other things, aren't there? I hafta! I hafta see 'em! So I've ventured into korean rpgs (not mmos, although I do play them) and now I've finally found some Chinese classic RPGs to play.

In the west, Chinese rpgs have almost no coverage or translations. It's such a shame 'cos what I have played has been incredibly charming: Sword and Fairy, an old DOS fairytale from around 1995 and THE chinese rpg of all time, has been nothing but a joy to sail through. The plot beats all feed into each other beautifully, the characters melt my heart, the gameplay is speedy without any need to grind. I highly suggest grabbing the windows repackage + english patch if you're looking for a cute and heartwarming classic for the evening.

Now be me, sick from overwork operating on like 2 braincells and BOOM! SF7 on gamepass. I lay around like a sea cucumber and boot it up. A bit slow, but similarly charming and earnest. It's a game very focused on its story and characters with the combat being quite simplistic, but the environments are so gorgeous it truly becomes a game you wish to waltz through at your own pace. I dont play very many modern games, but everywhere you look is stunning with every book and cranny full of detail. Ahhh.... however, the technical aspects are hard to overlook. The sound mixing is SO BAD! There were cutscenes that were ruined by incredibly loud sfx. Sword slashes wash out the pretty music, and sometimes textures dont load properly. Some of the pickup markets for items are too finnicky. And the translation is sadly terrible, particularly in the encyclopedia where the very interesting and important lore is.

Despite the flaws, SF7 gives me joy. It's a slowburn but the characters have a sweetness to them. My current impression of Chinese RPGs from my look at Sword and Fairy, GuJian and Xuan Yuan Sword has been that they are heartfelt, magical tales with a strong focus on Chinese mythology and earnest characters. I would love to learn more about these games. Of only there were more translations...

also playing sf7 like it's an otome hell yeah I ♡ romance that fruit boy belongs 2 ME!

I recently got back into cdramas after a looooooong break and was feeling very nostalgic today so here are some pictures of my first xianxia idol drama blorbos:

I met them when I was 10.

Her name is Lin Yueru 林月如

His name is Li Xiaoyao 李逍遥

She’s the supporting female character, who did not get the guy. But I’ve shipped them since I was 10 so I don’t care.

The drama is called Chinese Paladin (2005)

And yes, most of you probably know the male lead Hu Ge as Mei Changsu from Nirvana in Fire, but he will always be 逍遥哥哥 xiaoyao gege for me

And she will always be my 月如姐姐 Yueru jiejie ❤️

Added this Switch game.

I need someone to buy the Love Catastrophe song that was used for Goodbye My Princess and use it as the theme for Chinese Paladin.

The way the lyrics perfectly fit the love triangle between the Drunken Immortal, Qing'er, and the Sword Immortal.
