Playing one map of Fantasy Maiden Wars a day, can't wait to finish in a year.
Lunatic hasn't been tooooo hard so far (outside of the early map dodge/hit RNG gaming), but it takes enough brainpower that it's hard for me to just sit and blast through chapters

Honestly it's a real shame Fanastasis isn't translated, I think it could end up being fairly popular... I'd consider doing it myself but there's a loooooooot of text, and I'm not sure I could stick it out all the way
64. [DE:]Fanastasis [PC, 2024, turn-based RPG]
Clear time (true end/no postgame): 37h 30m
One of the best JRPG's I've ever played by far, thanks to the highly freeform exploration and interesting story.

Finally done. Definitely a different vibe here than some people, but Silksong is a joy. 😌
I definitely talk about midgame spoilers to some degree, so be warned. Thank you to @trynant.bsky.social and @starrymirai.moe for proofreading.

Finished the Alabaster Dawn demo. As expected, it was good. Combat has a really great flow to it, the graphics are a huge step up from Crosscode (which I already thought was a beautiful game), music is nice, and I'm excited to see the future dungeons/overworld traversal. Time to wait for 2+ years...

Thinking about it, it's kind of interesting that I was fine with grinding out the EBF5 final boss on Epic, but as soon as I got blasted frame one here I dropped the difficulty. Wonder what changed...
Maybe I just have too many other things I want to play these days. Though the boss design itself

52. Epic Battle Fantasy 4 [PC, 2013, turn-based RPG]
Clear time (Epic difficulty until the final boss): 16h 2m
It's definitely the prototype to EBF5, but it's still fairly solid in its own right. The gameplay is mostly the same (from what I remember), with the main difference being that you have MP

Also I know everyone is talking about the performance issues, but I played at 1080p / 60fps / High settings and didn't really have any problems, outside of some small stutters when changing areas sometimes.
47. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers [PC, 2025, soulslike]
Clear time (true end): 28h 40m
Fun game! Enough so that I was playing for like 8 hours a day. The flow of combat is really solid once you get into it (other than the knockdowns). The way melee and magic interact is a cool balance. The skill tree is

I think one of the saddest parts of playing a translated game is coming across incredibly basic English mistakes that like... a single native speaker reading over the script could easily fix. When an otherwise cool game has its script mangled every third line with typos and grammatical mistakes, it
