What's your favorite recipe in a video game? Mine is Legaia 2's Princess Cake made with cream, cooking oil, dessert set, cookie set, and pork.

This project will never actually be 'done', but there's enough to it now to be worth sharing. A treasure chest full of items and accessories from the 1998 ps1 rpg Legend of Legaia

Never see any Skullmonkeys discourse. It was one of the games my evil nan bought me. She only ever bought me games that felt like fake games.

There's a lot of games from our childhood people still talk about However, what's a game you were OBSESSED with as a kid but see no one talk about nowadays? Mine were super princess peach, mario hoops 3on3 and bomberman land touch

Last week, we gave out directional orders to create new and interesting attack arts.

[clefclefairy]

got tagged in a WIP game by @orchidbreezefc and 1 yaaaay and 2 the rules is as follows: 1 poast a sentence from a current wip and 2 tag people and i will be using the opportunity to exercise absolute powers SO @zaritarazi @gallus-rising @moongalleon22 @memendoemori @mister13eyond @legaia also i dont know who else is currently writing their stories but if you see this post a sentence from your WIP too :)

anyway, snippet under the cut:

fandom WIP:

Every second of their separation before he vanishes into the crowd punctures a new hole through her heart, pins and needles that leave her numb and trembling. She swallows her tears, and they drown her in salt and regret.

The crowd passes around her like ants around discarded trash, blithely traveling past her grief like travelers driving through small towns without stopping. She watches them until she forgets where she is, what’s happened, and who it has happened to, surviving the aftermath by opening up her body and letting her soul step aside.

original WIP: The noise from the funeral party continued on, louder and increasingly garbled, echoing inside the dimly-lit black marble bathroom, narrowing down to a reedy, keening whine, muffling the sound of snapping bone and flesh neatly degloved from its host. The son and heir takes in the sight of himself through the shards of a broken mirror, and his father’s face stares back.

Someone asked me the other day what my husband and I did for our 1year anniversary when we were still dating.

We have a lot of inside jokes at this point and us forgetting any and all anniversaries is among them.

But at year 1, because we had met online, our anniversary gift was meeting in person. (It was technically a month or two early, but still.)

Then I tried to remember any other anniversaries, to no avail, of course. Then I thigh about general gifts. Thought about how, overseas, I was able to stand up for myself a little more, be less accommodating with what we watched, which may have been the catalyst for him finally playing the games I cherish most. For my birthday one year he played FF7 just because it's so important to me. He played Legend of Legaia.

I buy him stuff. I write things for and with him. He reads things even when he'd not in the Fandom just to be my beta reader.

Year 2 is the year I think he got me a pink DS lite and Pokèmon Pearl. Went out his way to get my favorite Pokèmon. I hadn't played since Gen 1, so he acquired a Bulbasaur. I still call him Drewba.

It's been 19 years since I chose him. And I still love him most ardently.

any obscure games I can feel like a hipster playing? don't care if they're technically mediocre sometimes they vibe more that way.

sure here's a list of niche games (perhaps not obscure) i enjoy:

final fantasy 2 - obligatory rec; technically mediocre for sure and i guess you'll either feel like a hipster or a nerd and i think both are acceptable. please please please please please please etc etc

lufia 2 - as someone who has only played loz link's awakening this feels like that with jrpg fights. it is really good and the og is on my to-play list eventually but this game is just so fucking cool. plot is a little wack but whatever. music is really good too

suikoden - i personally like the first more than the second but both ps1 titles are really good - standard jrpg affair but i would consider them niche enough to put on a list here. i am sloooowly playing through the third game but i have enjoyed my time with it through the first few bits

legend of the dark witch - anime babe platformer. decent mix of easy and hard entries but i had a fun time with the series

terranigma - truthfully I haven't gotten very far into it but it is niche so could be worth your time nona

vagrant story - tbh I don't care for the plot but the gameplay is straight fire and sydney losstarot is very cool

legend of dragoon - BURNING RUSH... SPINNING CANE... MORE AND MORE.... COOOOOL BOOGIE... SUMMON FOUR GODS... etc etc. plot gets kind of wack in the later discs but holy FUCK is the gameplay so good.

etrian odyssey just in general - i had a fun time playing the fafnir knight; prolly best to google this series bc youtube can explain it better than i can

final fantasy tactics advance - not obscure but my favorite tactics game. it's a tactics game. not much more to say

ace combat - probably obscure to you if you're looking at my blog; but i really liked ace combat 2. if you enjoy plane shootey games it is good

if you like schlocky fanservice games lord of magna: maiden heaven is a fun romp with hot anime babes. twas little circle's awakening to the vast world of video games (outside pokémon and project diva) so it holds a special place in my heart. grant george voices the antag. so.... yeah

if you like mystery dungeon games i really enjoyed chocobo dungeon 2; the ffx-2 dungeon game I didn't really get into but it is niche

once i finally escape from Scholarly Hell for summer the next game i plan on playing is legend of legaia. truthfully it seems like xenogears with the combat system but i cannot tell whether it is better or worse but i will probably make a post about it in a few months

oh. you know what? play xenogears. play xenogears, nona. you should play xenogears.

or final fantasy 2. because it is good. at least if you squint really hard and tilt your head and squint a little more

For the most part, Legend of Legaia’s graphics are very charming. I prefer the look of the battle models to the wandering-about-towns models but it’s similar to Final Fantasy VII in that regard. So, no big.

However, the cartoony (by choice) and clunky (by hardware/software capabilities) models really do some of the plot’s darker elements a disservice.

Spoilers for anyone who hasn’t played the game but is thinking about it…..

The Conkram part of the story? Super dark and would be creepy as hell with modern day graphics and more realistic models. Noa (and CO) rolling up into the town where she’s been told her parents are to find not just them but anyone still alive is actually fused with a monster that has taken over the town?

The pulsing walls, the intentionally unappealing color palette, everything. Especially the moment where the soldiers who are guarding the basement (and are basically conjoined because of the Seru that has taken over the town) realize the queen said you could pass and they split themselves. The rest of the NPCs will still talk to you as long as the town is still there. They don’t, once they do it.

Shit like that is impactful anyway, but with modern visuals? It’d be wonderfully awful.

I know the game wasn’t nearly popular enough to warrant a remake—probably not even a digital remaster, sadly. (Legaia 2 being a dumpster fire didn’t help). But damn. It would be awesome.
