Thank gooness we all get along so well!

Literally the first word of the game, and it's spelled wrong. Great job, there. It's supposed to be Aberystwyth, by the way. How do you mess up the very first word?

Debuffing VIT lowers maximum HP, eh? How workable would that be as a strategy against something with full HP? I'm guessing not very.

I'm trying to come up with a videogame that does not portray organized religion in a negative, if not outright evil manner. Especially Catholicism.

But yeah the voice acting and script are astonishingly smooth for a PS1 era game.

How about almost all the Dragon Quest games? You save your game at churches (from 4 onwards, at least) and the few games where the god of the setting is evil it's either not the main religion, the god in question is a fake or they're already dead and another, more benevolent god has taken over since. It's quite surprising, since that series is known for containing incredibly stereotypical JRPGs while simultaneously avoiding one of the biggest tropes of the genre.

Why does this happen on All Saints' Day, one of the most holy days of the year, and not, you know, Halloween, the day before?

Funny thing is, very few games with multiple endings actually do this. The only ones I can think aside from Koudelka and SH1 is Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen and a good chunk of the Fatal Frames.

Drakengard did it too, but with the joke ending. The bad endings are a completely different matter.
