i'm 1/3 of the way through reading 25th ward's many endings, so time to start thinking about what my next lunch break game will be
which should i play next?
Rᴇᴅ
What's the lunch break game environment like? Quiet room, in a crowd, or...
go rimbaud
rpg options are
1. finish crisis core (in the middle of chapter 5)
2. finish replaying ffx in preparation for finally playing ffx-2 (at the end of macalania forest)
3. i have the carts for the remakes to both live-a-live and super mario rpg in my switch case
4 idk i have a bunch of others like p3p, romancing saga minstrel song, 13 sentinels
go rimbaud
Rᴇᴅ : it's not always a quiet room, everyone on overnight takes lunch at the same time and some of them make noise, but i have headphones i usually wear while playing games
Rᴇᴅ
Paranormasight - at least the parts I played - are very fun but might need a quieter room situation.
go rimbaud
the honest truth is that the likliest scenario i'll play any game on switch is while on my lunch break, so if it's not next it might just be the one i play after

I voted for Nirvana initiative so you could be in hell with me, but I think RPG is objectively better and more fulfilling
go rimbaud
Be Maki-Mine🍁 : honestly i put it first because it's the one i'm leaning most toward
Rᴇᴅ
Yeah, just more like me saying, "Heads up this is the best vibe for it."
go rimbaud
the hardest part might be that i'd have to split it up into thirty minute segments each day when i usually like to marathon uchikoshi games
go rimbaud
(though i do have a vacation coming in three weeks, but who knows how much time i'll have for games when i'm spending most of it out of town)
go rimbaud
also if you vote rpg, weigh in on those options!
go rimbaud
oh yeah another rpg option is eiyuden chronicle, but i have not played a suikoden before

paranormasight, paranormaisght!!!!!
go rimbaud
♕ blorp bleep ♕ : i expected this vote when i was narrowing down my options
♕ blorp bleep ♕
you know my feelings on this game
♕ blorp bleep ♕
weirdass cops. chubby schoolgirls. milfs and murder. what more could anyone possibly need.
go rimbaud
also since we were hearing silver case fans apparently went wild over it, i will maybe be prepared to go wild in the same ways
Be Maki-Mine🍁
every single RPG on your list I haven't played though we're having a lively chat in my personal server about P3P right now
pollуαηηα
eiyuden chronicle is very sweet! that’s my vote
pollуαηηα
it also has my best boy https://images.plurk.com/7hCOESkRIOklH8eLAsDBt6.jpg
go rimbaud
pollуαηηα : ah, a friend
go rimbaud
anyway i always support a dev team breaking out of konami and making literally the same kind of game with the serial numbers filed off
go rimbaud
though not having suikoden experience it won't hit me as personally as, say, bloodstained
go rimbaud
oh man i just remembered the eiyuden director died just weeks before it released didn't he, god that's so sad
pollуαηηα
it was incredibly sad! i wish he could’ve seen the fan reaction to it because it really does capture the spirit of suikoden
Rᴇᴅ
Okay that's a compelling argument.
pollуαηηα
last i heard they are releasing DLC for this game and doing a sequel
go rimbaud
yeah i've heard they are extremely committed to carrying it on in his honor
pollуαηηα
i really hope they will succeed and it’ll like... go on for years

Paranormasight is excellent, but I agree you need the sound experience for certain scenes and a work environment even on break might distract from it. Pentiment is good to play all the way through at work if you are not prone to crying
go rimbaud
oh if it might make me cry, it will make me cry
go rimbaud
also again, i have headphones
go rimbaud
update to this: i have hit the section of 25th ward's 100 endings that are just shout outs to various members of the batfamily, so somewhere around 75%
go rimbaud
either pentiment or eiyuden chronicles probably starting by the end of the week
go rimbaud
sadly the switch's screenshot function is disabled during the endings themselves, but i haven't tried the screenshot the selection wheel
go rimbaud
i also don't feel like skipping through the chapter again to get there right now, so maybe i'll remember during lunch tomorrow
go rimbaud
i've heard the playstation version has gundam characters instead of the batfam, and i do also own the playstation version, but oh boy i don't think i'd like the replay the whole game on console
go rimbaud
how badly i dragged my feet to play both games on console is the whole reason i bought it a second time on switch
go rimbaud
okay so i've started eiyuden chronicles, but idk how well this game will fit into 30 minute chunks
go rimbaud
main concern is savepoint pacing
pollуαηηα
it’s traditional for better and for worse (save points is a minus)
go rimbaud
wild that you can't actually save in the field, you can only auto-save when moving either off or on the field
go rimbaud
but i'll give it at least a few more sessions to see if that turns out to be truly disruptive
pollуαηηα
i thought you could save in the field... though that might just be the auto save you’re talking about
go rimbaud
the tutorial screen only mentioned the autosave at least
go rimbaud
okay i think the savepoint pacing won't be an issue
go rimbaud
because the thing about this game is if i didn't get a chance to save at the end of the lunch i'll want to play when i get home
go rimbaud
shit, i might want to play when i get home regardless
go rimbaud
so despite finishing ff7 rebirth a few weeks ago, the ps5 is gonna take a rest for a bit while i go all in here
go rimbaud
one thing i am wondering now that i have collected more characters is how it will manage level growth for non-active party members, if at all
go rimbaud
100 characters is a lot and it will be discouraging to delve into that cast if i have to level them up any time i want to switch in someone new
go rimbaud
though given the cover art i'm also wondering if i won't end up with three separate main characters, each with their own ~30 characters until they inevitably come together for a common cause
go rimbaud
it might not go that way, but i'd be down if it did
