Fire Emblem Engage! Let me know how it is.

Hope you had a good Christmas and Happy New Year! Looking forward to check out Rise's latest title update next year with you and Alex!

The dot hack team has been teasing a surprise, so it could be remasters coming soon! I would probably hold out for that, they just posted about it yesterday. I think it was supposed to come out this year for the anniversary but it must of gotten delayed. As of right now only way to play them is emulation

It’s tricky, as is the case of back when the games came out, like the GU games, they are really not that good in terms of video game quality. KH and FFX came out the same time and made .hack look like a PSOne game. It plays like that too, very mediocre game design. However also like reviews said at the time for IMOQ (the original four games) and the GU trilogy, despite the games themselves not being good, the story is so massively intriguing that it’s possible to overlook the flawed design and appreciate the extremely unique and mind bending story and music. The novels, manga and anime lend to the story alongside the game to get the full picture. Truthfully only for hard core fans of the simulated MMO golden years era especially in Japan at that time (2002)

If you meet all of the above criteria which you probably do then like me, you will find things to love. Watching SIGN, playing the originals, then Roots and GU is quite a thrill ride learning about this digital and poetic world. I sincerely hope they bring hack back and fix it up to modern standards because there's really nothing else like it!

How are you gaming escapades going? Wonder if there's something outside of MH we could play together sometime.

Doing good! Hope you are as well. Going to be great to game together again once Rise gets a few more updates.

I have been in a huge KH mood lately. I've saved Remind stuff for later so now working on getting Oblivion in KH3 and then use it to defeat each of the data replicas. Playing the old KH games again does make me appreciate how high quality KH3 is. The secret ending has me so excited for the future and of course that KH4 trailer! Also plan to play more Dark Road. I am not big on mobile at all, but for KH I'll try my best to do it for the story's sake!

Thanks! It's basically become my default theme, it evolved from this one [Link]

.hack has always been a personal favorite of mine, I still watch the anime and read the manga to this day. Unfortunately the games never got a proper remaster, outside .hack//GU which I totally intend to replay someday, but my favorites were Link (which never got localized) and the original PS2 tetralogy has never been remastered but I hope so badly they remake it soon!

Congrats on the Bug Fables ! I had a ton of fun with that game. Super glad it ended being as good as it did.

Happy backloggiversary!
