@celestrahl asked: "tell me how it got this way." from noel!

𝑪𝑶𝑼𝑳𝑫 𝑯𝑬 𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑹 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑻𝑯𝑼𝑵𝑫𝑬𝑹 in her bones when his words brought her pause? Was it silent enough that the turmoil laden sinew may yet creak aloud && give away her guilt? This mantle she upholds as champion is one of choice. An atonement; the willingness to become an eternal epitaph for the weight of all that has transpired. For there is truth in a mercy by the hand of a goddess. She should not breathe, should not be given the grace to walk within this stone edifice---her existence should be comprised of crystal. But by Etro's hand, she is all that stands between a slumbering goddess && a being that has since spiraled into his own darkness. "Sacrifice.. and the repercussions that come with it." More a musing, more a thought than statement; the breath she takes in is shallow midst the furrow of her brow. One that sees her gaze cast over the curvature of pauldron, a glance to an endless sea beyond still sands. Careful footfalls carry her nearest ledge && resplendent blues take to the sight of coming tide. A glance to her company ensues && it is devoid of malice. She is neither aggravated nor cross. This responsibility she upholds is one that has since melded itself into the fabrication of her existence. A dedication held taut to the soul to safeguard against the what ifs. Steel in her voice, pride in her shoulders. "We've all got our parts to play. It's a race against oblivion." Oblivion. She can still hear the callous voice that uttered his intentions as their blades crossed. The bellow of steel that clashed---it still rings in her ears.

Well, after many months- I'm happy to share my (rather ambitious) cover for our Final Fantasy Ladies zine: Lucia Sidera. I still can't believe the team trusted me with such an important cover. I decided to be insane and try and draw every main gal from each title and spin off (I ran out of time, so I didn't get everyone sadly). The mod team was already SO patient with me. I didn't have to do all this- but I legitimately had this vision since 2009 (and there were a LOT less gals back then). You can see from teh initial sketch layout, how many character were originally planned- but then...I went off the rails. (note, the first image is the poster version, and second is book variant)

Final Fantasy is kinda my life, let's be real- as corny as it sounds. It has been with me most of my time here on Earth. It set me upon the path I'm on now. I wouldn't be Allison without these characters, the music, the art, the stories. I won't mush too much, but this, to me, was a very special opportunity to show just how much I love this series. Getting to share that with other people in this community, whose life has been deeply touched by Final Fantasy meant a lot to me- and I hope people find there faves in this cover!

I have the remaining folded posters from the zine bundles coming in the mail, but will also be offering this as a 11x17 print soon! So much detail means it won't be coming in smaller sizes, apologies!

Anyway, it would be all too easy for me to talk about this cover and my thoughts overall but I suppose it's not overly necessary- it can speak for itself I guess! I hope you like it :)

Hey, I'm on my phone, so I can't a href as I'd like, but, click on my Wheel of Names

and tell me:

[haunted-xander]

Sone notes:

FFXI & FFXIV are excluded due to the nature of being MMOs- they are, quite literally, impossible to remake (And XIV is getting a graphical update anyway, so it's not like it needs one)

(FFXV & FFXVI are excluded for obvious reasons) (FFXIII/XIII-2/LR are also excluded for similar reasons)

By 'benefit from', I mean that the narrative/characters/world and general story experience would be enhanced due to modern tech/hardware and what they now do with it. For example, FFVII really benefits from the remake since there's a lot of things they can portray more subtly and delicately than they could in the OG (such as Cloud's hallucinations & memory issues and how other's react to it)

(And also for some of the older titles there are things in the writing that may have aged poorly- in a remake they could rework it to be more tasteful)

Oh so I guess I should cross pollinate for that sweet sweet engagement, ig.

Hi I’m Sam. I host a mildly successful, but wholly non-lucrative podcast about RPGs, called RPG Bookclub.

You know how here on tumblr, it’s awesome when you’re current on a TV show because you can come on here and everyone is guessing what’s happening next and making theories and focused on just the one part we all just saw?

That rules! But video games don’t have that (besides episodic games), so you have to wait till you beat it, or risk spoilers, and talking about the games is a much less easy process until everyone involved has beaten it.

…unless?

Enter the Book Club format, where we artificially pick a stopping point each week, and just discuss 4-ish hours of a game instead of the whole thing, and make our way through a bunch of games.

We try to often play through games people don’t cover often, so if you like the games in the tags, come check us out.

We also have three supporter only sub-series: One where we play the Trails series, every game, in chronological order, called Bookclub no Kiseki. But that's a lot to play each week, so we take some time in the middle to play the Tales of... Series, which are much easier to digest. And the last one, the JRPG Canon, which is more of a review/analysis of the opening section of a bunch of games, and not actually playing them to completion.

If you’d like to check us out, We’re on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, Stitcher, and all the other podcatchers that pull their data from one of these three.

You can also find us online at www.rpgbook.club for links to our discord and all that.

Thanks!

Best Games that came out before 2022!

I thought briefly about combining the pre-2022 games with the games that actually came out in 2022. In fact I still plan to, but I figure I should separate the lists and include my mini-reviews.

10: Leisure Suit Larry (real caveat hours)

For the purposes of its entry here this is in fact most of the Leisure Suit Larry series. The old Sierra ones anyway. Is it cheating? Technically sure, but the thing about it is I can't really pick one out of the line up to be like "this is the best one." LSL1 is a decent little game, but it has aged rather poorly and the gambling section you have to do is the worst. LSL2 is not good in the slightest, and I hate it quite a bit in fact. LSL3 is good, I greatly enjoyed the story and like Passionate Patti as a character. LSL5 is maybe the best of the originals, but there are some hang ups I have with it looking at it with a modern lens (the blackface, I'm talking about the blackface). LSL6 is a pretty decent game with some really good jokes in it, but it also has some of the worst bugs, some of which can straight up lock you out of being able to finish the game. Love For Sail meanwhile plays the best out of the series but has some real aggravating moments where you have to be pixel perfect in your play. Also it has another similarly terrible gambling section just like the original Larry. I didn't play the remake of the first Larry this year but I can't imagine it does too terribly much to make it stand out from the rest.

I have to say though I greatly prefer the Sierra Larry games to the first attempted reboots that came out in the 2000s. I haven't finished it but Magna Cum Laude just seems like a really poor game that lacks the charm of the older entries. There's also Box Office Bust, but I'm given to understand that's somehow even worse, especially since you can't buy it from any of the digital stores, and I don't really want to buy a disc drive just to play Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust.

I'm in full fanfiction mode here now, if they do make a new Leisure Suit Larry game I kind of want them to include a character like Passionate Patti. Wet Dreams Don't Dry included a small section where you play as Faith in between the two games so clearly they're not opposed to the idea of having a female player character in the reboot series. Then again, I'm also fine with them just leaving the series alone because I felt that Wet Dreams Dry Twice was a wonderful send off to the reboots. Also with the passing of Jan Rabson I can't imagine they'd be in too much of a hurry to make a new one. I humbly submit to you that I think they should try making a Passionate Patti game. Make a game like the Larry reboots, but have Patti be the main character, I think that could be good. Couldn't be any worse than Les Manley or Jerry Wanker.

09: Final Fantasy XIII

For a good decade or so I kept hearing the constant rumblings and grumblings about how Final Fantasy XIII was more or less a slap in the face for RPG fans. The hallway, the hallway, Pulse l'Cie, fal'cie, cieth, gotta read the in-game bestiary to get the lore, why does Hope gotta be such an emo boy, etc. etc. I quite liked this game, maybe I'd feel differently if I were a long-time fan of the series, but honestly this game really doesn't feel so bad as its years of reputation would lead one to assume it is. My only real complaint is playing the game on the normal difficulty makes enemies entirely too spongy, but kicking the difficulty down to easy made it feel a lot better. Not that it made it a cakewalk, I died a few more times than I'd care to admit. For all the harrumphing and furor I've heard in regards to the story I liked it, sure there's some realy pacing issues and nonsensical twists but I thought it was a good story. One of things I liked about it is despite her status as the cover girl Lightning really doesn't feel like she's the main character or hero of the story. I know she's given more plot relevance/made the hero in later entries, but here in XIII she doesn't really get that much more screen time than any of the other characters. You could just as easily assign main character/protag status to Vanille or Fang, hell even Hope or Sazh if you're feeling particularly brave.

The only other major complaint I have with this game is when you do inevitably get down to Pulse I don't care for the sudden open-world the game gives you. I didn't particularly mind the game giving you a path to follow, so when it gives you this rather poor open world I was kind of trying to just rush through the section so I could get back to the story proper. Also the ratings after the battles I think don't add a whole lot to the experience. It's not like it's an action game where it can judge your combat proficiency like a Devil May Cry or similar. The combat system really feels like a single player version of a system from an MMO. Where you choose your attacks or spells and the game just does them automatically. That being said I don't mind the combat system, I think it's perfectly functional, even if I did find the summons to be slightly confusing to use (and I cannot for the life of me remember how it actually functioned, I played this way back in February). I'm eager to try the rest of the trilogy because despite how "the story is poorly handled" I want to see how the rest of it shakes out.

08: DJMAX Respect V

I enjoy rhythm games. I may not be particularly great at them but I find the simplicity of "push button to do good" of a lot of these types of games to be fun. Like so many people I fell face first into the clutches of Guitar Hero/Rock Band back in the day. I've always been vaguely aware of the DJMAX series, but never really bothered with it, until now! Is good. I like most of the tracks that are available for it, I'm not the biggest fan of K-pop but this has some really good K-Pop tracks in it that made me a fan of several of the artists. Also it's good to know that if I ever need to find a way to rid myself of several hundred dollars the DLC option is right there for me. Good game.

07: The Darkside Detective

A delightful comedy mystery adventure game. It leans heavy on the supernatural element, but I found it to be a delightful game. Some of the jokes are absolutely groanworthy, but I feel that none of the chapters of the game outstay their welcome. I think this might have been an episodic thing way back when but I'm not a hundred percent sure. It would definitely explain why the game is split into six separate cases (plus two extra ones you unlock after completing the main story) that largely have nothing to do with each other but I'm not sure that's the case. It's not a particularly long game, but I don't think that's really something to hold against the game. It just means that it doesn't get the chance to start getting annoying with blatantly unfair puzzles. More games should have the decency to not drag themselves out forever, and instead end before things get too bad.

06: Call of Duty Black Ops III (Girls' Frontline Mod)

Honestly if you asked me back in April if I would replay Call of Duty Black Ops III, much less had it be in my top ten I probably would've reacted negatively. Largely because I distinctly remember not caring for Blops 3 when I played it way back when. But then I stumbled across the Girls' Frontline mod for the game and I decided what the hell I'll give it a whirl. I'm really surprised at how much I like the actual gameplay it was a fun time to be had. I find that the combination of Girls' Frontline with the storyline of Blops 3 worked out really well. From what I understand a lot of the later story in Frontline lends itself well to the techno-conspiracy stuff seen in Blops 3. Also I feel that the use of the models from GF is the closest I'll ever get to my dream game of making a big elaborate espionage conspiracy game like this or a Metal Gear Solid and just having everyone be an anime waifu. The one time in the game it doesn't swap out the model for one of the Dolls is really funny to me. It's great seeing photo-realistic Robert Picardo standing with a bunch of anime girls.

05: Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance

I considered doing with Kingdom Hearts what I did with Leisure Suit Larry. I thought about combining them all into one entry and saying: Kingdom Hearts, all of em (except Chain of Memories). But the thing is I can absolutely point to an entry and say "this, this is the absolute peak, and pinnacle of the series. God I love it. I want to have sloppy makeouts with it." Dream Drop Distance is an amazing second place prize winner in this regard. Dream Drop Distance plays like a conglomeration of everything I love about the various Kingdom Hearts games just crammed into one very thrilling and masterfully executed package. The only aspect about the game that I didn't care for was some of the Flowmotion stuff because the environments in the game really don't lend themselves well to it. They're crying out for a more open environment like what would eventually be in Kingdom Hearts 3, not the pretty closed off arenas of DDD. That being said everything else about this game is just an absolute gem.

The combat is much more refined and feels better than the combat in Birth by Sleep, the focus on two playable characters kept the pacing of the game moving at a good clip. Then there's the boss fights! Some of the best boss fights in the entire franchise are located in this entry. I may have complained about the sheer soul-crushing challenge of the Rinzler and young!Xehanort fights but I can't help but admit that they are two absolute stand outs from across the series. Even with the fights I don't like I can tell that they took the lessons they learned from Birth By Sleep and 358/2 Days and made the bosses fit the restrictions of the handheld better than some from the past. It's something of a double-edged sword though there's at least one encounter that is entirely too clausterphobic for the big fight you have to do. And the less said about Spellican the better I say.

This was a great game and an absolute delight in setting up what was to come in the final installment of the current story arc. It is also in my opinion the game with the best realization for Xigbar since KH2, and wonderfully sets up what becomes of him in KH3. The only real complaint I have about the games technical aspects isn't even strictly to do with the game itself but with the weird implementation of achievements on the PC version of the game. For whatever reason Epic Games has the correct amount of play time listed in the library, but it does not show any of the achievements I unlocked during my time with the game. The same thing happened with the achievements in Birth By Sleep: A Fragmentary Passage, other than that though I had no problems with the game on a techincal front.

04: Tyranny

I do enjoy a good dark and edgy fantasy every now and then. I don't really look specifically for it any more because of the absolute glut of the stuff you can find out there. Tyranny is special in my eyes because it does the dark and edgy fantasy stuff really well and is written well enough that it never really stands out as just pointless edge just for the sake of it. Sure there are cartoonishly evil characters like The Voice of Nerat who just seems to be the embodiment of "lol random chaos evil murder. I'm so quirky." But the rest of the game is so well-written that it makes a character like that work. What I like about the game is that since you're playing as an evil overlord who is sent to oppress the masses the game doesn't make you undergo an arc where you realize Tunon (your overlord) is in fact a bad so you need to work with a token resistance to stop him. It lets you start as an evil overlord and stay as an evil overlord, it's nice and refreshing. I love how some of the conversations in this game are basically boss fights where you have to choose exactly the right choices or the conversation goes extremely poorly to the point where someone has to die. Sure there are plenty of times that combat is inevitable, but I appreciate when the game lets you talk down an opponent and convince them to join your side in overthrowing some other pawn of darkness. It's not the longest RPG in the world but I think it works to its favor. Since it's shorter it doesn't take as long to go through the multiple routes and see what the game has to offer in terms of story content. I wish that there could be a sequel one day, but given the accusations and everything against Chris Avellone I completely understand why that's not likely to happen. Still though this was a phenomenal game, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a passing interest in CRPGs.

03: Return of the Obra Dinn

I always thought this looked like a neat thing. But for whatever reason I just never really took the time to actually play it. It's certainly not a typical scenario for a video game, go do some investigating to find out what happened to an entire ship's crew as an insurance agent. What I wasn't expecting was some of the absolutely out of left field events that occurred on the ship. I don't think anyone could accurately guess what leads to the ultimate downfall of the Obra Dinn. I liked this game a lot, there are some issues I have with trying to identify the differences between some of the sailors, but I think that's more down to me just being bad at recognizing the differences between some faces. It was always a massive boon when a character would have some sort of facial hair so I could tell the difference between characters. I love the voice acting in the game, hearing various European and Asian sailors yelling at each other brought a big smile to my face. I don't wish to spoil the mystery of the game, so don't take the relatively small amount of text I wrote about it to be an indictment of the game, this is most certainly well worth playing. Plus it's on the Switch now, so you can take the fun insurance investigation on the go with you.

02: Kingdom Hearts 2

I did very seriously consider making this just a "All the Kingdom Hearts minus Chain of Memories are great, and here's a brief summation." But I think that Kingdom Hearts 2 stands head and shoulders above the rest of the series as the best. It astounds me that they went from KH1 being a very good game and then after a brief foray into card battling made this absolutely stellar piece of gaming. Just pure unadulterated greatness poured into this game, I love it to pieces. I find the opening hours of the game where you play as Roxas to be a great change of pace to the first entry and it sets up very well just what kind of story the rest of the game will bring you through. The combat is a real swell time acting as a very strong Action RPG that just generally plays better than the combat from the first outing. While the boss fights might lack some of the more big bombastic set pieces from later entries in the series they stand out in this game for being simply better than the others.

While I love the plots and counterplots and counter-counterplots of the later entries I love how comparatively straightforward this one is to the others. Sure there's certain trace elements of what would go on to the rest of the Kingdom Hearts plots but this one sets it all up in an extremely satisfactory way. I like how some of the Disney worlds in this game have some gameplay changes, they're not all just go into Mulan and fight and fight and fight. For as many people have griped about it Atlantica will stand out in your memory for how different it is compared to the other words, for good or ill. I love how Tron world starts out with you in the lightcycle arena before it goes back to the old Kingdom Hearts combat. It just plain feels good to play generally, it doesn't have the basic combat system of the first game, and it doesn't over complicate it by having the magic and combat systems that you would eventually see in Birth By Sleep, Dream Drop Distance, and 3.

For years I was always curious why the fandom for Kingdom Hearts seemed to always single out KH2 as the best of the franchise. Having played the game I can completely understand why. This is quite possibly one of the finest action RPGs I've played. A definite recommend.

01: Pillars of Eternity

I didn't go in to this game with any real expectations. I just sort of went in hoping to find a fun little RPG to play during my down time at work. I certainly did not expect to be so thoroughly gripped by this game, this is such a masterfully written and immaculate game that I am surprised I hadn't played it at any point in the past seven years. Particularly I'm surprised because I apparently kickstarted this game nearly a decade ago. Guess that goes to show how loose I am with my money and the games on my infinite backlog.

When I started the game I thought it was going to be just sort of a typical by the numbers RPG with fine combat. And at the very start that's what I figured it was going to be, but then after everyone who is accompanying your character dies I felt a marked difference in what was to come. When you get to the first town with the massive tree just full to bursting with hung corpses I started to figure this might be quite different from what I figured it would be.

I find this to be extremely difficult to talk about because I want to just gush and spoil the entire story of the game. But I don't want to spoil anyone because I do genuinely think this game is well worth playing. While the gameplay doesn't strictly do anything unique it just plays as a very strong refinement of CRPG mechanics that I've seen in other games like Blackguards or Tyranny (which itself was a further refinement of the systems from Pillars). While for the most part the gameplay can boil down to "have your guys just dogpile and turbo murder every enemy" there are also moments that are basically conversation boss fights. Which makes the game stand out very strongly to me, I absolutely adore when games let you have dialogue puzzles to make it so you don't HAVE to engage some of the pivotal fights. I love it when RPGs remember that there's more to situations than just combat and makes it so you can roll a character who is a bit of a sweet talker.

Another strong aspect of Pillars of Eternity is that with the DLC they released they actually went to the effort to record new dialogue for the original cast that interacts with the characters you can recruit in The White March. They even made it so if you have characters from the White March DLC they can interact with important characters in early parts of the game, it just blows me away. One gameplay thing I was surprised by is when you unlock your manor base I thought the game was going to make it so if you wanted to upgrade it you'd have to drop what you're doing and hoof it back to base. It was a very pleasant surprise that you don't have to do that, it's just an menu you can use whenever you please to do most things with the base. There are certain actions that will require you to be at Caed Nua (your manor/base), but these aren't super pivotal choices.

That's another thing I adore about Pillars of Eternity, your quest that is so incredibly important to your party is basically an unknown to the rest of the world. The world keeps turning to involve the petty issues of a mad lord with his big town square hanging tree hoping and praying his unborn child isn't born a soulless monster. You keep having to collect taxes and pay your employees who guard your estate. Of course no actual time passes in the game, it all really just progresses when you do your in-game quests. I just find it neat that as your going on this big world-changing journey no one outside of you, your party, and those you're actively chasing after is any the wiser.

I love this game it was just a such an utter delight to play through and I'm eagerly looking forward to playing Deadfire.

𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒏 blossoming in her throat. Wherefore a gaze akin wondrous seas is dulled only by helplessness. But even as warring perpetuity rages midst marrow--- thunder cracks in her bones && howls across pallid horizons--- there is naught one's influence may invoke. For her hands are tied at the behest of a goddess that barely clings to her own existence. Hang high the banner of steadfast warrior && see to it that her blade serves well to ensure the welfare of what's left to tattered divinity. The very armor held taut to frame is evidence enough of cosmic impressionability forcing her hand when home was so close; when she could practically taste freedom. So in this domain that has been forsaken by the darkness && consumed by chaos abundant, flecks of light catch at the grooves of mentioned armor. Roseate hues are a fever dream at best; is this once-soldier turned champion even truly there? Are the greaves that hold her aloft truly leaving the impression of soles against still dirt? Or is this merely a ploy to feed her fervor? To stay true the course set upon. && it is with all of these what ifs that attentiveness averts askew; eyes cast across the crest of pauldron to take in the sight of desperation incarnate. A sibling pleading that Lightning stay. What a familiar construct.

"Serah.." Uttered hushed, nigh pleadingly---but it's because she knows what has yet to come. The travesty that will pass && herald damnation. Lest will damn this course of events && see to it change is enforced. The pair standing just those few paces beyond would play so pivotal a part in the timeline therein. Every action, every blade of grass, every flap of a butterfly's wings; whatsoever their choices be, may it alter the course of unfavorable fate she's wept over. "I can't go with you. Leaving Valhalla would see Caius' plan come to light. Etro would be lost and so too would countless lives." A brief pause ensues, lashes aflutter && cast to settle against the crests of cheeks for but a moment. && when her gaze presents itself once more, resolve blossoms within. One might sense melancholy at the precipice of lash line. Others might see the burden of duty consuming her. "Lean on those around you. See this fight through to the end. The future depends on it."
