Finished Super Metroid Rotation (hack)!!
Boy, what a ride that was. Turning the world 90° clockwise really makes a difference in how the game is played. Wall jumping is necessary from the start and many longer horizontal rooms (and this game dramatically highlights their presence) become traps, often lethal ones. The thing that killed me most often was magma. There must be something about the way magma is programmed where it rises to such-and-such a y- value, because many of the normally horizontal rooms containing magma had it nearly to the top in this sideways version of Zebes. As a respite, the grapple beam is rendered useless making for an early and easy visit to Phantoon, and all of the bosses excepting one were ridiculously easy with the new layout. Kraid was about the same level of difficulty without adequate platforms to mount for easy firing. Like the magma, Ridley must be programmed to hover around a particular Y-axis; as a result, he merely floated around eye-level for Samus and was a sitting duck.
Overall, not a terribly exciting hack, but it's quite a unique and well-executed idea. 5/10. Not recommended for anyone but unusually masochistic fans of platformers.

fan speculation and horny teen boy fantasies is the best you have? Sounds like all this lesbian stuff is (as I said) implied at best.
Not all cigars are penises; not all princesses are lesbians.

that could very easily be a maiden discovering pornography for the first time. Doesn't have to be lesbianism.

I looked into it, and anything sexual is only slightly implied at best. Asellus' whole scenario involves lots of gothic elements where death and sex are closely tied together (think Bram Stoker's Dracula or the works of Poe), and none of it is played up as lesbianism. I could easily say (and I think it more reasonable) that Asellus' ruling over "princesses" is a mere obligation required of her as the one who overthrew Orlouge. It's merely unusual titles for the sake of keeping titles, not a harem. A queen can rule over princesses without pursuing sex with them.
Also, the thing about Orlouge's blood is mere speculation on the part of fags who see faggotry in everything. One could just as easily speculate about Emelia being a lesbian with her two friends based on her "bad" ending.
Not every cigar is a penis; not every princess is a concubine.

> @coolboymew @lykanthrocide @Tsuki @takao > his sexual preferences exist in the blood
I never gathered that, and I played the game extensively and recently. Care to cite the dialogue/exposition that details this?
> the yuri is if you choose to make her evil. it's an amusing twist, and it pissed off some Twitter homos when the game was re-released a couple years ago.
What about this pissed them off?

no, it doesn't. Asellus even has children in multiple endings. Unless by "yuri" you mean something other than "lebianism", then Asellus' scenario does not involve yuri

I'm prepping to play Romancing SaGa 3, but I'm uncertain on which version to play. The remake has some bug fixes and different names for characters, etc. (for better or worse) and the blatant censorship is extremely minimal. I'm most concerned about the presence of any wokeness in the script, though.
@coolboymew @npub1k3h…23wk @takao have any of you played the RS3 Remaster and/or the original? Does the remaster have anything woke in it? If you've played both, which do you recommend?

I'm with Mew on this one. Phantasy Star had the Sci-fi thing going for it, then Final Fantasy happened. I haven't played to completion anything beyond the first Phantasy Star and have always given up on II. The games would have made for a better series as visual novels than anything else (and, yes, I'm aware of the PS VNs).

Finished Breath of Fire!
And boy what a slog to fight Zog! The game has not aged well, and carries itself like a professionally made RPGMaker game. It was released in '93, of year before the best RPG ever made (Final Fantasy VI) pivoted the genre to new horizons, so it's still a part of the "Dragon Quest clone" category of RPGs. That isn't to say it's a bad RPG (like Niji No Silk Road or Ganbare Goemon Gaiden), and it does some very interesting things with a limited amount of resources. However, it remains a "press A to win" kind of RPG in most cases, and the backtracking necessary to finish the game would be extremely frustrating without a walkthrough (the game is sparse on plot progression clues). One thing that intrigued me that I haven't seen done before: one boss's weaknesses would fluctuated between physical attacks and magic attacks depending on how many times you hit him with each (more magic attacks made him stronger to magic but weaker to physical hits and vice versa) and his appearance changed accordingly. That's a neat idea, and should be implemented/explored more often in RPGs.
Visually, the game was very pretty, but very vanilla. The soundtrack was varied, but lacked anything particularly rockin'. Any fan of older Capcom games will appreciate the nods to and inspiration from MegaMan and Makaimura littered throughout the game in enemy and character designs and in scenery.
Overall, very mediocre and typical of an RPG made by a dev specializing in action games. In that respect, it's reminiscent of Ganbare Goemon Gaiden and Lagrange Point by Konami, but more fun and less frustrating than either of those games. 5/10, only recommended for diehard fans of RPGs made between '85 and '93.
