Hey, happy 10 years of backloggery !

Just beat Revelations (Classic - Hard) last night. STILL EASIER THAN CONQUEST

No, I didn't use Donnel in Awakening either lol. I Fell For It™

Also Pokemon Moon was so good! I have some complaints about the endgame (one thing being that they ask you to do a... Stressful Thing that's not cool in my book) and plot, but otherwise I had more fun than I did in Y. Hopefully there's more of a postgame than there was in Y too.

Just beat Birthright. All y'all free

Just kidding. I had to reset here and there, but it does feel like the difficulty is noticeably different (even outside of choosing the actual difficulty level). Seems like there's a lot of emphasis on giving the player ways to restore HP (Dawn Dragon in Invasions, lots of classes that can use rods, rods being usable from 2 spaces instead of 1, flyer classes having auto-healing abilities, random healtiles in Challenge battles). Having a ton of money and ninja doesn't hurt either!

I'm not sure if it's a Conquest thing or a Hard thing but in Conquest enemies get weapons not available to the player too (Sakura having a bow that hits at range 1 and 2 for some reason??? NO THANKS). I'm ashamed to say that a lot of Hoshido classes seem... sorta better... Kaze's daughter is especially good. Poison Strike Spendthrift Merchants >>>

It was 100% fun though. I was afraid that a lot of the battles would be shared/rehashed between versions, but they really do feel like 2 different games. If I ever replay Conquest I'll fix a lot of the mistakes from the first time (I'm the only dummy on Earth who didn't use Mozu, apparently).

Happy birthday. JRPGs have completely hijacked your backlog.

I'm gonna get to the part where Aeris dies, and then start crying or some junk. It'll be ugly for everybody.

Did you ever watch that April 1 Nintendo Direct? Lucas DLC was the most exciting thing but there was some pretty good stuff besides that too. Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem is apparently real, but it looks... different than I expected??? The gameplay might be closer to SMT so that could be why it looks so foreign to me... Still want to get it eventually though.

You beat Advanced Wars!!! You've made more progress on the backlog than I have...

Are you ready for 4-on-4 Fire Emblem vs. the World Crew Battles!? In HD!?!?

Mother only has 1 character again so the best it can do is a 4 man Ness team.

'EY YOU GOT GOLF

I hope it's good, then again they've never made a 'bad' one. I think the last Mario Golf game was like Toadstool Tour or some mess... That was so long ago.

How's Smash practice!? You know, considering it's supposed to be coming out this year they should really come up with a moniker already. Super Smash Bros. Falling Out.

I like the game, but games jumping up in difficulty randomly is a pet peeve of mine. I have found a way to make level grinding easier, but if I didn't have that method, my enjoyment for the game would have went down a lot. You'll probably be fine, just know the difficulty goes up in chapter 4.

Why is Umbreon's Defense SO HIGH

We should do more theme battles. They're funny and the only way I can win.

Wow, did I just completely hallucinate that entire Bat type thing during E3? I can't find it mentioned anywhere, I think Fairy's the only new type addition.

I guess in retrospect it does sound kinda silly :embarrassed:

Yes yes of course!

I see you rapping about your furniture made of diamonds.

Please tell me that's from a macro or something because that is too good.

FINALLY DONE WITH SACRED STONES

It seems like the not-so-secret to Fire Emblem is to max level your dragonkin and let them do the heavy lifting. Also Summoners. Those things are possibly better than FFT Summoners. And no characters dead this time. Hoorah!

Alright, now I'm ready for Awakening! Probably! Is it harder than the other 3? Let's see if I can beat it before you beat Ni no Kuni.

I'm not very far in Ni no Kuni yet, but there seems to be so much to do! I want more merit points xD

What the Unawakening Float is Publisher Dream.

Drat! Foiled again!

Really!?!? You're only playing one more game than I am? Seems like it'd be more... actually it's the same amount if you count the one I stole from you.

And for some reason Awakening showed up twice on your Memory Card. It must be that good.

I feel like this game was made for me xD All the musical terminology just makes me smile, plus the game looks gorgeous, and so far I'm enjoying the battle system. I hope by the end of the game I still have positive feelings!
