Phantom Brave is super fucking fun, but I can see why it's not as popular as Nippon Ichi's other titles. Even with Disgaea, and tactical turn based RPG's being niche enough as they are.
The actual movement around the board, the tactical part? Kinda feels bad. Trying to aim attacks without a grid, no idea what the ranges are, and in 3D space is... Annoying. Besides that, I like the games quirks a lot, like the Over Damage system.
Over Damage is a mechanic that only really affects the player. If any unit takes Damage that equals it's own HP or more, after it's already been K.O'd, they're not just a ghost, they're double dead. So rezzing them costs an item, plus the money to pay the healer.
Over Damage feels like a mechanic for a gritty dungeon crawler VRPG, or any TTRPG with crunch. Extra insult to injury, punishing you for wasting resources and for not handling your allies' bodies with care by making your quality of life harder. It's a mechanic that serves the same function across genres; grounding you in the fiction.
In Pathfinder, in Vagante, in Path of Exile, in Wakfu (goofy as it is), a death isn't just a 5minute walk back to your last spot. Your OC, your cutesy little grungy cute little cube, your tiny survivor, your goofy little doll OC just died, and in Phantom Brave it's your friend. Each failure can have consequences.
The tone of each game differs (a lot, if you've played at least two of these, I'm sorry for the tonal whiplash) but death always matters. These games want you to be more thoughtful about how you play, and actually pay attention to how your treat your new toys. Phantom Brave is a game that lets you chaperone a little orphan girl freelance adventurer, who's primary character trait is being compassionate and earnest in a world that openly hates her for breathing. While I wish Nippon Ichi would let us a little further into her head instead of othering her to us too, and making us just Marona's guardian. I'm so happy that the game mechanics support that feeling.
I wish more people talked about Phantom Brave. I can't wait to see where it goes with all of you ^w^

Have any of y'all ever played vagante? It's a really fun roguelike in coop (and a bit alone but better in coop) with a ton of depth(tons of fun interactions between well designed and balanced classes, interesting variety of starting buffs that fundamentally change , good level design, interesting monster design, boss designs that reward both skill expression and knowledge of gimmicks. It's a really hard game on your own or with two people(probably does get easier with 4 but even then) with some really rare achievements for those who want that. Banger of a game.

Hai :7
I love you!
yes you!
click this.
now for introduction.
my name is Renée Corbeau
but you can call me ren or crow
I love crows! they feel like family to me and I hope next cycle I get to experience the life of a crow.
I have gone through alot in life and fancy myself some sort of activist by proxy of that pain, am I perfect? fuck no! I am still learning and probably operate under toxic bias still despite all the effort I have put into growth.
I'm adhd, autistic, anxious, depressive, dissociative, probably some degree of plurality.
I'm a gender non-conforming transwoman, definitely puppy coded, and severely down bad for women, especially butch women!
that being said the human body is beautiful. especially fat bodies, I'm a sucker for meat :3
all my guys, gals, and non binary pals deserve kisses (assuming that they want them)
I love gender fuckery, people who actively blur those lines are doing the lords work.
despite being very friendly and appearing slightly outgoing sometimes, I am very shy and dont have a very large social battery.
if I ever dont respond dont take it personally there are loads of reasons why this could be.
U^ᴥ^U U^ᴥ^U U^ᴥ^U
I am kind of a red mage when it comes to special interests, I know a little bit about alot.
(all lists are not ordered and not exhaustive)
some examples include;
from gaming~ pokemon, zelda, elderscrolls, darksouls, minecraft, osu!, space sims (elite dangerous, astroneer, dyson sphere project, hardspaceshipbreaker), roguelikes (noita, deadcells, gungeon, vagante, slaythespire)
from other media~ pokemon again, bluey, adventure time, atla, bee and puppycat, studio ghibli (nausicaa is goat), csm, bleach, dragonball, naruto, she-ra, dungeon meshi
from *gasps* real life~
space (and metaphysics), nature (it's peculiarities and the many funky adorable little guys born in it) I'm definitely a poser but skateboarding and rollerskating (I really want to get into rollerderby) philosophy (to the extent that any skid is);
History!
(not as well read as I would like because there is so much of it, and so much of the truth is buried under misinformation, but I have deconstructed the whole western myth of how things went and painted myself a much clearer picture as to how things got so bad and am learning new things about the world all the time, please feel free to info dump about anything history related I'd love to hear it. anthropology and archaeology too obvs)
Art!
(this is my chosen field for better or worse >.< I am going to college for web and graphic design (2024-2026) I might extend that an extra 2 years to make it a bachelor of design and hope to one day make graphic novels, beautifully illustrated with deep thought provoking stories)
໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -。꒱ྀི১ ૮꒰՞⸝⸝- ༝ -⸝⸝꒱ა ໒꒰՞⸝⸝. ̫ .ܸ⸝⸝ ꒱ა
Kink! (definitely subject to change)
petplay, musk, intox, bondage, impact, cnc, degradation, somno, hypno, blood, knives, size difference probably more I haven't thought of
I'm poly and very t4t
I'm a switch but this hellsite has been steadily turning me into a bottom day by day heheh
but no actually
I used to be a hypersexual dom pre-transition
but E has made me alot less uncontrollably horny and far more sensitive and inclined to seek vulnerability, all my drive to dom has dissolved
also I suck at tagging and will sometimes will reblog art/random things from tags without checking bios
if that upsets you or makes you uncomfortable please see the block button for more info ;3c
.♡. .♡. .♡.
anyways since you made it this far
here have some headpats
spread kindness please and thank you ^v^
As above, So below.
Hai :7
I love you!
yes you!
