What the actual hell were they doing when they made Octopath CoTC because oh my god am I glad they made Octopath Traveler 0 so I can get to experience this stuff. Octopath is so back.

Fantasy Maiden Wars is so fuckin good y'all

Now Supergiant, let's talk about the reworked Circe Staff yes I recognize that it already has an Omega-centric build and a Cast aspect is great but like. I miss spamming my Omega Attack infinitely give it back to me please I beg you I don't care if literally everyone hated it I am the biggest fan-

🎉 | On this day 29 years ago, September 27th 1996, the first Sakura Wars game was released, marking the first ever entry to what became the beloved vast multimedia franchise! Happy 29th Anniversary Sakura Wars!!

Also this game is making me want to do the SRW watch-through volume 2 solely because what they gave me for some of the shows was that interesting. This series changes people I promise you I was never into anime beyond like 1-2 shows until I played 30 and now mecha are the coolest things ever...

IT'S FINALLY HERE! The Sakura Wars 2 English Translation patch is now available to download! It’s been an honor to help translate what is one of my all-time favorite games as part of such a talented and hardworking team. I hope you’ll all enjoy it as much as I do. segaxtreme.net/resources/sa...

Today's Sega Character of the Day is Clarissa Snowflake from Shin Sakura Taisen!

Just gonna add to this but INSANE that they nailed Aria of the Soul in this game and knew it was peak. Also somehow (I have not played either of the Persona 2 games yet) how this game might just have the actual best Persona antagonist? Like no one else in modern Persona really comes close.

Hey I'm gonna drop this and pretend I didn't #pokemonrejuvenation

Actually, since we're on the subject. I wanna shout out one of my favorite parts about one of my favorite game franchises. 90% of the main cast of the Sakura Wars series consists of badass, empowering women of many cultures and personalities. They are the blood and soul of these games.
