This is a rather... interesting game.

Shame you understandably put the kibosh on doing the Shadow Hearts games because while 1+2 are good but weird jrpgs the third is exactly your kind of trainwreck. I highly recommend SH1 + 2 if folks like the themes and universe of this game during the LP.

Either way looking forward to your take on the rest of THIS game as it definitely goes places

I've played most of Shadow Hearts: From the New World, and I wouldn't call it a trainwreck. I'd call it a drugged-out voyage of wonder and madness :lsd:.

I'm so blessed to not have any fans

Speaking of, seeing as it's probably most of the same people who lurked in the Nier Automata LP thread here; VideoGames (the mod) has made a Nier Automata gang tag.

Don't forget the boob jiggle.

Hey now, the long transformation sequences with full-body panning shots are pertinent to the plot at large because they define Shania's character and :goonsay:.

"Hi Everybody!"

quote:

Old European beliefs attribute great powers to a Hand of Glory combined with a candle made from fat from the corpse of the same malefactor who died on the gallows. The candle so made, lighted, and placed (as if in a candlestick) in the Hand of Glory, would have rendered motionless all persons to whom it was presented. The process for preparing the hand and the candle are described in 18th century documents, with certain steps disputed due to difficulty in properly translating phrases from that era. The concept inspired short stories and poems in the 19th century.

Seeing someone wave about a candle made from a dead man's hand and fat would leave any sane man motionless. Mainly in the hope that the candle-wielder doesn't notice them and goes somewhere else with their burning corpse fat.

The Wind Crystal in the secret boss battle in Super Mario RPG was also Green like this Wind Seeker. Maybe green for wind is a thing in Japan?

Wind is green magic in a lot of JRPG's, it's not really a rare thing. Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games are good examples.

Whoof. A boss which will boot you back an entire disc if it kills you? What a strange artifact of the time. How many generations did disc issues end up lasting, anyhow? Like, two?

Most multi-disc games save on disc change for a bunch of precautionary reasons. This is just a unique Koudelka flavour of mean-spirited difficulty.

Koudelka's frustrated foot-stomp when she can't open the door is priceless.

Don't forget the little frustrated kick at the door :allears:.

I'm surprised his age actually makes sense for a Catholic bishop.

Well the Catholic church has had issues with younger members.

He probably just figured out the simple variant that only needs three small sticks and 4 cc of mouse blood.

You forgot the dribbly candles! :colbert:.

The Emigre Document probably fails to deliver on the ressurections because it's ancient knowledge. Nobody ever updated it.

Patch Notes 20,000.450.003
- Tweaked requirements, ritual now requires 2/3rds the previous sacrifices.
- Improved blood processing.
- fixed "Wandering Ghosts" bug. Damned souls and monsters to be fixed in next build.

The series does slide lighter in tone, with Covenant managing to balance the Horror-Comedy pretty well, while From the New World is scorned for veering too much on the silliness.

From the New World doesn't so much veer into silliness as drive full-throttle through silliness and into bizarre from the far side. I'm quite fond of it, though I acknowledge it careens pretty far off the rails.
