Reached Chapter 6 in
Summon Night 3 and
Falzen is a girl (Fariel) in a masculine suit of armor???? Yooooooooooo i vibe with this
. Also we get some motivation for the Imperial Forces being in the island, they might be after the Demon Blade that Aty currently has and gives her the ability to non-Mono-Shift into Super Aty.
We also got introduced to the side characters in the separate settlements beyond just Maruru: Panashe, Subaru, Misumi, Genji, Kunon, Flaize, the Mimicry Master, the stray Taquesi (Ghoul in Swordcraft 1), though Kunon and Flaize might have appeared earlier. The Mimicry Master's minigame was tough, I barely won.
Another thing that was tough was the battle against Jakinie (remember him from SN2, he's back in pog form!), his little brother Oukinie and their sea men
. Thankfully using Tamahippo helped a lot thanks to how really fucking good poisoning is in Summon Night. Spheippo? Sphere + Hippo, could also be a play on Hippopotamus and the Hippos & Tamus summon from SN1&2 and technically Swordcraft 1. Yafha, noted "they didnt hire any furries
" ass cutie in my current avatar also had Tamahippo but I didn't realize it at the time.
Subaru's lilypad jumping minigame was also tough, but it's more of how my keys are set up in PCSX2 compared to a PS2 controller, you have to jump in the good lily pads without staying on them for too long or accidentally jumping on a super frail one. To jump on the left front one you press Square, Triangle for the one in front of you and Circle for the one to the right and front. The way I have it on my keyboard has it be like left is X, center is Z, right is A, QWERTY btw.
I'll give it another shot before I finish Chapter 6 with the keys set up better (maybe ASD for □△O respectively), should be in the Silturn settlement, it's necessary to score good at it to unlock Subaru as a playable unit, and also have high affection with Misumi, since she's basically his mom I think, his dad died.
The battle against Vijue and Ghalleo was also kinda tough. Again, exploiting low stats on the opposite party's units helped, still had a lot of dead units myself, but man, scumming Ghalleo into emptying out his MP so he couldn't use Stora to heal and using super!Aty's physicals and Wil's Teco summon ability to keep pounding on him because Demon Sword Aty is purposefully broken and Ghalleo has low Magic Defense, felt super dumb and kind of funny.
Vijue was kinda easier if more hectic because Yafha was in battle so I could just poison him with Tamahippo's attack, I might have gotten lucky with him though. Kyuuma also deals a lot of damage and I've distributed Kyle's stats to the point that he's generally a solid heavy hitter, probably the highest attack in my party. Kyuu and Yaff are only in my party because I went the Yafha route in Chapter 3, rather than Aldira or Falzen.
If I did go on the latter two I would have gotten Falzen who might have come with an extra Picolitt to act as my secondary healer after Yard. Aldira might have come with Bezzsaw, since she's blatantly a Nesty callback, being a Veiger (half-human half-cyborg) with glasses and all, I'm not sure, since I went with either Yafha or Kyuuma, they might not be playable, but I might still get Flaize and Kunon.
So far my party set up is Aty and Scarrel as the so-so attackers, Sonora as long range, Yard as the designated healer, Kyle, Yafha and Kyuuma as the heavy hitters. Wil has joined the party recently but I'm not sure where he'll fall. I'm also gonna try and get to make Aty a part time healer along with Yard by getting an extra Picolitt summonite through the Spiky Ocarina accessory. At least unlike Hoshigami I don't have to wait fifty turns between casts to cast again on one not-Materia.
Sorry for nerding out over this dumb game, sometimes RPGs are good.

Deltarune Chapter 1: Oh right this is way more involved than Undertale gets. Not sure if I like UT or DR better but I still haven't played Chapter 2 yet so shrug.gif
I personally like Deltarune better, Undertale is like. The battle system and gameplay feels super basic which, yeah, it's Toby's first game but like. It really feels that way once you get past the initial hype storm and novelty of the Megami Tensei-style negotiation puzzles. I still need to continue my replay of both Ch1 and Underdungus so. I think I'm nearing the end of Chapter 1 and I know I'm at Waterfall in UT.
Need to replay Earthbound too, and continue BraDef.
