I need to go through the Ruin branch one day.

I’ve gone through the Kingdom, and Empire branches before but it’s tricky to load all your data before starting another game to get all your stats allocated.

Yeah, the LUNAR Remaster has been the talk of the town recently amongst my circles too what a surprise! Tbh though, I’ve been kinda leering away from playing Lunar just because I have so many personal associations to it, and I don’t really wanna revisit or think too much about that part of my life. Basically before I used to always play Lunar once a year even when bad stuff was happening/going on in my life and I kinda wanted to stop, BUT—!!! I have been doing a lot better and I’m not gonna scoff at the remaster release I’m probably most likely gonna pick it up but who knows if I’ll play.

Oh man Boo, I feel ya I’ve been doing my exercises and work-outs everynight but sometimes I feel so tired and fatigued the next day that I have to opt out for a “rest day.” I always feel like kinda bad or guilty, but I dunno if I’m just getting older & realizing I’m not a 20 year old bouncing around anymore. I just eat the usual rice and meat/veggies/fish - work-out & maybe I’ll snack during my sets. I’ve been trying not to eat as much lately and water really helps keep my stomach full.

I haven’t tried out Trials of Mana besides the time I said in my last post. I did manage to beat Persona 3 Reload and I have a whole plan-of-action before the end of the year: I wanna beat Dragon Quest Builders for the PS4, there’s 4 islands and I just got to the last. And either one of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth/Star Ocean: First Departure R. I think you mentioned playing the latter and it was pretty short. I’m still going strong on my PS3- I wanna beat Folklore it’s only like 10-13 hrs but my disc is crummy and it sometimes freezes on the loading screen. 🤷🏼 I’m also going through Fairy Fencer F and Time and Eternity out of the two I think I like Time and Eternity better. If I can, I wanna squeeze in a PS1 RPG lookin’ at maybe front mission 3, The Legend of Dragoon or Vagrant Story. Save money on remasters.

So yeah. I just wanna beat a couple more titles until I get my fill. My Mom just had a birthday and we talked and I kinda relaxed some, so sometimes I just chill out at night and watch Survivor DVDs. I’m still pretty hooked onto the show. My cousin is visiting next month and I asked her to order more DVDs for me. She’s getting me seasons 31-34. There’s 48 seasons now. I appreciate it a lot cause it’s the ONLY American T.V. show I keep up with (mostly due to just growing up, managing my time & just wanting one show to last me a lifetime) I used to keep the T.V. on in my bedroom but all the Netflix shit and streaming I don’t really bother with those. lol I still analyze and speculate on the show like a nerd and it’s still wholesome, family home-viewing.

Hope you get better, Boo!!!

^ After I get done with Persona 3 Reload (and maybe Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster) I’ll have to go back and finish a few PS1 RPG titles. I’m looking at possibly playing: front mission 3, The Legend of Dragoon, Vagrant Story & I have Valkyrie Profile for PS4.

My PS1 library of RPGs just weighs heavier on me.

I guess out of all the quest lines - they all kinda blurred together for me - the Larc/Sierra one was really nice cause it was cool to see the dragons. Niccolo is just funny as heck to me, and calling dudes named Nick “Niccolo” makes me laugh. I guess the Jumi one was the best though I thought Pearl was really cute and I wound up taking Blackpearl with me to beat the final boss. I did find Elazul annoying at times though his name, the way his hair covers one eye. The Gilbert storylines had me cackling though cause he came off as such a horndog to me.

Um. Legend of Mana was fun, but I just have way too many associations tied to Secret of Mana. How I played it with my friends, and when I went through it as an adult it was still pretty cool. LoM has its upsides though like some of the characters were pretty cool like I personally liked Pearl and some of the Jumi girls were cute. The only thing is I found it hard without a guide like I wouldn’t know where to go. SoM had that freedom to explore but it wasn’t really like you could get too lost and waste time. I found the Lands/Artifacts thingy cool though.

Oh, I’m planning on firing up Trials of Mana for Switch when I get the chance. I’ve always wanted to play Seiken Densetsu 3 ever since I saw them previewing it in a video game magazine.

Hey, Boo. I managed to finish Legend of Mana just a little bit earlier awhile ago. I wanted to thank you for mentioning it cause there’re some PS1 JRPGs that’ve been nagging at me, to finally finish and LoM was surely one of them. I managed to do all the events I believe there’re 67. It was really like a non-linear (definitely!!!) random game I don’t see how you’d be able to finish it in a limited time without the use of a guide. It was fun though. The characters tread on the whimsy, whimsical side for me and the char portraits are well-drawn. I liked the design a lot the weapons, the towns, the artifacts, the lands. It was all really cool, and beautifully done. Doing some of the events, I don’t see how you can figure it out much on your own (even as a kid) without looking it up unless you just have the TIME to explore everything out and figure it out on your own. Basically the gist is thanks for pushing me in the right direction!

Much appreciated!!

By talking to Boo in another thread, I wound up picking up Legend of Mana to play for the PS1. I've been hooked on it for the past few days and I anticipate beating it tomorrow. I'm salivating at the thought of beating it cause it was one of those PS1 JRPGs that just managed to slip through my fingers and through the cracks I never managed to beat it for random reasons--"I just didn't get it." I'll be so happy when I manage to finally finish it.

I've been on my PS3 a lot so I think I'll switch over to my PS5 and play another random JRPG in my to-do library. Thinking maybe trying out: Star Ocean: First Departure R, Atelier Sophie or something like that?

Ah, just as I read that I was at the Tower of Leires with Pearl and happened upon two sword drops that upped my offense! I’ll definitely just follow your lead, Boo, and just get equips thatt-a way!! I’m definitely enjoying the game so far. It’s like a ton of short, little vignettes and I’m a sucker for that type-kind of storytelling cause you can kinda see what all the other characters are up to! I also think the game is beautiful? It’s so whimsy, or whimsical like all the NPCs are creatures that you don’t think ALL belong in the same world it gives me NeverEnding Story vibes, where you see all the mythological creatures in the beginning at the Ivory Tower and they all look so different from one another. I wish there was some way to turn the brightness up, I’m almost interested enough to look into the remaster. It sure is bright and colorful compared to like a Final Fantasy 8 with the gray background. Blaggh!!

Edit: I find myself getting addicted to finishing each and every story vignette staying up late til the morning. There’s something so satisfying about finishing 2-3 short stories, saving & coming back for more. I happened upon gameplay of the remaster and it looks good the brightness was turned up!

Hey. I beat like 2 missions so far in LoM and I’m kinda enjoying it it is kind of a little weird lol. I think I already fucked up the placement of the artifacts but I’m just going along with it I plan on just getting through the game not necessarily 100%’ing it. Lol I’m tryna knock out JRPGs here and there on my backlog list.

Mostly I’m still on Persona 3 Reload. I love the graphics. I’m definitely looking forward to PS5 remasters of older JRPG games if there are anymore. It makes it more playable for me. So that’s my main focus. And I’m kinda hovering around the PS3 and buying and knocking out easy JRPG titles for it. Pretty much the gist of my day around here these parts.

Been going to sleep super early and I still get my mini, mini-workout in push-ups and the dumbbells now. I’m trying to just straighten out my body and push the fat around. Like I said before I love cracking my body so sometimes for 2 hours I kinda do that at night LOL.

Hope your wife and your family’s doing good man. Best wishes!

Edit: I plan on getting Star Ocean: The Second Story R as the original PS1 game is like one of my ultimo-favoritest RPG.
Edit (2): Ah Boo I thought I’d ask you here I’ve made it about 4 hours into LoM and wanted to inquire about equips? I’ve managed to make it through the boss fights thus far with just my beginning MenosSword and a few pieces of armor I picked up along the way like a WindCap and DragonNecklace but towns don’t really carry anything you can equip on the main char. I’ve done the Watts stories and have access to blacksmithing and figured that’s how you make better swords. Do you have any advice on how to go about blacksmithing or what to do about item equips? Thanks

Ah, yes I was wondering if you were gonna leave lol.

Ok, I suppose I’ll try to get through LoM on my own maybe I’ll post in here how I’m doing and updates. I have a few other RPGs I’m wErkin’ on too at the moment. I’ll prep myself for Legend of Mana. Do you suggest I follow a faq on where to place the artifacts? That was one of the reasons why I never got through it cause the artifact placing could be so random and I’d wonder if I miss out on certain shit if I didn’t place it in the right spot. Anyhoo I’ll add it to my lineup

Do you have any experience w/ the SaGa Frontier games that got a remaster as well and I was thinking of just playing the original on PS1 to save money. I’ve only beaten one scenario in the first game and that was more than enough for me. SaGa Frontier II seems interesting though I was thinking of giving that one a whirl too..

Just eating / dieting and stretching a lot. Playing with my dumbbells. Been going to sleep early and waking up early so iHave all day to game. In between I watch reality t.v..

Glad I can still talk to you lols

I hope your wife feels better. <3

Ah, so it looks like our dual-playing has come at a crossroads. It’s quite alright, man—I’ve always wondered how regular joes like you do it - living the double life of holding down a job, keeping up a family / as well as gaming. I don’t have a traditional job where I have to sleep cause I have to be somewhere the next day/do something at a certain time so I guess I have more freedom. Anyway, if you ever want to start up again just hit me up!

I’ve been kinda all over the place finishing up some JRPGs for PS3 here and there and picking up trophies here and there, I use my Switch whenever there’s no electricity which the Phils. has a lot of can’t control it & I’m just now getting used to the introduction of the PS5 in the family so lots of PS4 and PS5 games to catch up on. I’m pretty set. I pretty much just game, diet/eat, exercise mostly just doing granny stretches to stay mobile and flexible and I just got a 15 lb. dumbbell to work on my baby muscles. I’m just trying diff things see what works and what I like. I’m not aiming to be jacked just moderately healthy. lol

I’ll keep checking here from time to time. I hope and wish for you the best, Boo-bro! Had tons of fun gaming and discussin’ w/ ya! You basically were the one to kinda help me shape up in the physical department. I’ll never forget it. Ciao for now

Edit: I was thinking of going through Legend of Mana. It’s one of those RPGs I never got around to on PS1.

Hi, Boo. I just decided to go back to my regular screenname just because lol. I didn't even know why I made that other one. Anyhoo- It's great you're back I wondered why you suddenly just stopped posting. I'm doing great alone at the farm again I've been trying to experiment with my medication because I'm off it right now and I FEEL GREAT I don't feel high, low energy and sleeping for 12 hours not getting anything done. I'm seriously gonna axe my doctor about it. I think it did its job and I often wonder if I don't have depression anymore why do I have to take this? Doc says it's for sleep BUT I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP ANYMORE.

Ok, glad to know the ending I got for CT was at least substancial. And I got a different one this time. I was wondering if you're still down to do another game sometime around Christmas this year, you said? I think I can download Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition off PSN or we could do a different game if you're willing to switch it up... ? I don't have any suggestions off the top of my head but it would be wild if we did like Elder's Ring or something random LOL. Hit me up. Lemme know.

I'm still dieting, doing push-ups. I'm so tired of eating and sleeping which's what most YouTube videos say to get a lot of. I hate being knocked out. I've been giving myself massages on my bed like the sinuses of my face, my neck, shoulders I'm hugging all over myself I think after losing so much fat I can finally twist and turn into different positions now and my body's like whoa, Nelly! But anyway still tryna be more active than not with all the sedentry gameplaying.

Not much going on w/ me just mainly re-watching Survivor and trying to catch up to Big Brother. I think the Mole: season 2 is on Netflix rn I have to try to catch it on. I still watch a lot of reality T.V. mainly the competition ones. I might take notes on the Mole as I'm watching it live just to see if I get it right. The first one was kinda of obvious I hope they do a better job of hiding him/her.

Hope you're doing good and just having fun. I'll be here whenever you wanna game again. Cheers! ^_^

How's Eiyuden Chronicle? Does it in any way live up to Suikoden? I've been wanting to check it out along with Sea of Stars kinda like throwback-style RPG games on a modern console.

I am probably gonna finish Atelier Shallie tonight which will open up the gate to the PS4 for me. I've been into the PS3 Atelier games for awhile now and it's just like fun, rompy, not-really-too-serious and I've been feeling so tired of fighting in RPGs but the combat in this game is so easy, a monkey toddler could do it, lol. Anyway

I've also been poking around with Dragon Quest Builders and Potion Permit. I've been really into the 'cozy' games as-of-lately I dunno if it's because of my age and or I've just never really been into the Triple-AAA type of games ever since the PS3. Like Uncharted, Last of Us, Horizon, etc. I'm just not into it even though the graphics look nice. I was kinda thinking I'm more into the 'weird' games like think Incredible Crisis! or Mr. Mosquito. Those're the kinda of games I look for now.

Uh, I was gonna read and reply my thoughts later. But I have a thought already. I will edit in the rest of my post cause I am super busy with and swamped with work.

I like 5-lettered exactly town names from RPGs. I'm confused at your contradiction you said "We joke at the memes" followed by "Haha, I don't really follow memes... ." Like you say one thing and totally say the opposite later.

Hey, I saw your reply-post, but I just waited a few days cause you take awhile to respond and I'm mirroring you. (LOL! not)

Well, I need to just tinker ard. with my SNES. The- It might just be the Earthbound cartridge and how hard-pressed all the menus are in the beginning of that game. I might pop in CT and see if it works fine? Yeah, I like that idea of getting your daughter to play. Maybe she can go to Halloween as Marle: Make a straight up on top of the head ponytail, and pull it down a lit'l & and use gel to keep it up. Like she's casting a magic spell. LOL!

Yes, I will get my kids to play RPGs too. I actually quite find them relaxing as f Hell. Idk, I played video games every afternoon after school and I got straight A's and a perfect attendance all 4 years of High school. So I don't see the problem? o_O; Maybe she's just socializing too much at school. Tell her to concentrate on the school's academics.

Brb.

I was home alone all the time.

I've been watching Studio Ghibli. And like jail stuff. I'm trying to emulate prisoner culture and locking myself up in my work like a mad scientist. I get a lot of stuff out that way. Soccer? Don't know too much abt. that but I loved kickball.

Yeah, I make what people memes sometimes too.

I have a hard time saying white cause of my teeth so I just say what lol.

I think they're Ugg boots and Janice Dickinson (model) said they're very out of style now. I'm actually surprised you said that and she still owns a pair, I haven't seen those around since 2004. Yeah, I love chai tea latte it's my go-to at Starbizzucks. I'm on YouTube but I will do Insta, Twee-turr, Snap and TikTok is just bottom bitch app for me. I'm a very social, Asian nerd. She can add me if you want. I just see frat guys as just hoosier-like and into basketball. :_shrug: I have a few buddies in frats at San Jo State and I NEVER minded the sub_culture. I think they see me as a informal brother of theirs' actually. :shrug: Like they don't wanna let me in but I'm in and everyone knows I'm very IN like having rent free at a INN in RPGs. :shrug: I live rent free in their minds and I don't care.

No, keep talking abt. ur-selfz. It's good. I want to add a sign to the gate. Dogs is good. Chickens is good. No trouble. Very #happylifes:). I've been doing 3day binges and #nosleeping #noblinking. Sleep is for the weak. You can sleep when you're dead. Been saying that since Hish School. "What are you on?" Revelations: Series: Persona 1 - I did Alana, I'm concurrently doing Ellen's. Then, Brad. And Chris. Visible Panty: Lines (Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth). And I wanna start a new game of fft.

I have a random question for you?! Maybe we can get-to know ea. other a lit'l better! What's your favorite "TOWN" from JRPGs? I have my list/and, answers ready but I want you to go first, unless you want me to post first. Ok, I have to go into Castillejos today so I'll be kin'na biz. C U N Time, Boo!!!!! :p
