5 Personalities And A Chicken Ain't One

Welcome Sleipnirs, to my humble Persona 5 review!

First of all, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn Igor!
Looks like you have been taking lots of steroids........that voice.........that VOICE!
Truthfully, I love the old Igor voice.
Sorry ladies, I just ain't into that pimp voice!
I'm not sure if Igor's voice as well as the Velvet Room change to reflect the protagonist's heart but he nailed it hard.

I'll just go straight to the point - I LOVE this game!
Not like but LOOOOOOVE! Rabu rabu!!!
The music is great, wonderful characters and wonderful story.
Nothing much in terms of animation because it's just the usual advancement in tech.
On-screen avatars are more refined and the animation parts are the same.
I played this on the PS4 by the way.
Classic Persona game here!
I like the battle system, everything is straight to the point, no need for too much scrolling.
Exploiting enemies' weaknesses is always THE thing to do if you want to win.
Unless you're fighting psycho battles like Elizabeth or Margaret!!! FUCK YOU BITCHES!
Anyway, you can now pass the extra turn from weakness exploitation to your friend if you don't have the skills to finish it off or you just want to, using Baton Pass.
This can turn the tide of battle, so keep this in mind.

Unfortunately, you can't grind in previous dungeons (called Palace, by the way) because you can't go back.
Fear not though because you can get the Personas you miss in something called Mementos.
You'll see.

I've always loved Persona games because the creators behind this franchise just know how to freshen the installments up and this one is no different. 
We start out as criminals!
A high school kid but a criminal!
A bad-ass one that is!!

Noctis Leonhart is BACK baby!
To clarify, I name all my name-able Persona protagonists Noctis Leonhart!
My Persona 3 and Persona 4 were all about Noctis!
Why?
Because they don't ever say anything, they are the quiet, cool, MacDaddy protagonist type!
One minute into the game and already a hot babe is after me!

I love my first Persona, Arsene!
He looks really cool.
Personas have their voices now!
Yep, they can say stuff, why not right?
I think it's a nice addition.
I like how the enemies turn from fatty-boom-ba-laddies into Pixies.
The flow of the animations man......it's so cool.
The Shadows are very much refined in this game.
Of course.....they have to bring the Shadow negotiations back.
This system is called 'Hold Up'.
Time to deal with PMS-ing Shadows!
Let the frustration begin!
Give you my SP when you ask for it BUT YOU SAID NO AND PENALIZED ME!!!

Er hmm hmmm! Anyway, I have a blonde friend again!
Not that I don't like blondies.
I like Kanji.....................ohhhhh..................
Yeah, they are the same black-haired blondies.
Is Ryuji voiced by the guy who voiced Adachi?
I love that voice........grrrrr...........
Anyway, like every Persona game, there is the Social Link system or Confidant system.
This time, it's a mix between P3 and P4.
This is all my opinion, just putting this here.
I find that P3 Social Links were really difficult to deal with and P4 had an easier system to deal with.
In P3, you just don't know if you can advance to the next rank or not. You can give gifts to speed up but their overall schedules were just bad but same locations though whenever they are available. That means when school's out, low chances of leveling up with school mates.
In P4, you can't give gifts but you can tell when you can advance, just make sure you choose the right options in the Level Up scenes and their locations are pretty much the same except during weekends.
In P5, haha! You have to know the good hangout spots for your Confidants (like what gifts in P3 does) and their locations change quite often (kind of like P4).
One thing remains the same though, equip the Persona with the Arcana that matches your Confidant's for extra friendship points.

I like how we have over-world actions now like jumping and warping (like Noctis, so appropriate!).

That's pretty much all I can say, I don't want to spoil anymore.
Everything is pretty much the same.
Like always, you have limited time to spend with your friends so make full use of each time period, literally. 
Can't use minute or second here.
The first few days are all tutorials.
There's always a pervy teacher and a teacher that sighs a lot at students' delinquent behaviours even though their job is to nurture students. 
Morooka is an idiot.
Each dungeon is unique and they have their themed puzzles.
One thing though, P5 dungeons are huge and have lots of side paths.
P3 was dreary and P4 was linear and straightforward and like the Social Link system, P5 is a mix between the two.
There are dark themes and life lessons you can learn, typical Persona!
This is why this game is awesome.
It keeps it real!

Persona games are all about the plot and the twists!
Just sit back and relax and enjoy the story.

Nice pink G-string by the way Kamoshida.
I would really like one for my Lolita getup.
Don't know why I was so fixated on his pinky panty when I was about to be murdered by his General.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the game!
Let me know what you think!

Till next time Sleipnirs!

Season of Capybaras!

Hey there Sleipnirs!

I have been playing a few games lately and I would like to get two games out there in this post.

Those games would be Story of Seasons and Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns!

I need more time for Persona 5 and Danganronpa V3, so bear with me.

As you all know, people who can't seem to find a partner love playing whatever the Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon franchise have to offer.
I'm not exaggerating because if you noticed, the first question ever asked when Natsume or XSeed release footage or information on anything from this franchise, would be who the bachelors/bachelorettes.
The level of interest in romantic partners is outta this world!
Fan arts circulating, visualization of fantasies, fan fiction in play!
It's a nosebleed fest I tell you.

Onwards to Story of Seasons!
I think my character lives with robots.
Sure they have quite a variety of dialogues but they don't seem very engaging nor are they filled with emotions of some sort.
There is really not much going on in town.
People minding their own business, I jump around breaking everything.
In terms of interactions, not much going on.
Graphics and art though, yes, very pretty.
I love the characters.
I like how the colour scheme is not too tacky like in ANB.
However, no unique character in sight. 
Like Inari in the next game.
The unique ones only appear in festivals like Woofio.
Character development-wise, not too bad. 
I think they grow and they have very interesting backgrounds though not much is revealed.
I mean the villagers' background that is.
For the bachelors/bachelorettes, I know the point is to leave it to the player's imagination but geez man, some solid context for the others would be nice.
Oh Margot.....you are a witch. Witchie should be married and cooking up poison at home, not you.
Anyway, I like how there's an element of variable difficulty in competitions or festivals.
Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't even with full stars or the 'Fresh' status for crops, I think that's great.
It presents a level of challenge and that's the amount of realism I can tolerate.
With that said though, I hate the Conquest system, I would like my plants to remain intact instead of losing them and waiting for days to get the land back. 
We have to do battle with fellow farmer rivals whether in highest shipment amount or largest variety of items shipped to get lands on which you can plant specific crops.
Totally hate that!
If you lose, that's it. Wait for your turn and you have to compete to get it back.
If the land is yours, you just have to renew your ownership.
Shipping can be a pain at first but I think that's a motivation for the player to unlock merchants.
You see, you start out with one merchant to whom you ship stuff and they don't come everyday.
So you will be stuck with a day when you have to store your products because you can't sell jack crap due to the merchant not being in town!
Once you have unlocked all the easy ones, you will have merchants in town everyday and it will be like the shipping bin system in previous games.
Lastly, gameplay! I like how farming and animal husbandry are so much easier now!
It's quick so I have time for other stuff on the day!
Unlike previous installments, not enough time in the world!
Now, I can hook up with someone and fish on the same day! WOW!
I have the hots for Klaus, just so you know.
I named my guitar after him. 
If you want me to describe this game further, it's fun playing it but has no replay value and game gets boring once everything is unlocked.

Onwards with Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns!
I bought it when it first came out so.......

Oh yes, I got the cutie little capybara which looks sort of like a scrotum! YAY!!!
I named him Kakashi!
Not that Kakashi reminds me of well.....you know...
とにかく! This game is a huge improvement from SoS! 
Let's talk characters!
Characters are interesting, they are different, in presentation.
You can feel like they matter somehow.
It's nice to finally have family that I can talk to in-game!
Geeez mom! I have been waiting for you!
It's nice to have a background of some sort!
Speaking of background, we can have a personality or character trait!
Not going to spoil it here but these traits increases your potential or decreases it so have fun with them!
Let's not talk about skin colour. It raises a whole lot of problems, it's not going to change, let it go.
Not the way Elsa did but let's move on.
In terms of interactions, characters are fun to talk to until the dialogue pool dries out like always but still, the element of engagement is there!
Everything is pretty much the same in terms of gameplay! Easy and more time for other stuff.
Can do part-time jobs which is awesome when you need some Gil but have to be done on the day.
Wish real life was that cool.
Can have a Furmiliar which is awesome, because I have always loved animals and want them close.
I can get free items.
Once again, wish real life was that cool.
What can I say about this game?
It's fun and you might feel like replaying it because of the new features after the first playthrough.

If you need any details, Fogu is your friend!

That's all for now!
Until next time Sleipnirs!

Trio of Regalia

Well lookie lookie......it has been about two long years.......

I have been up to a lot!
If you want to know more, please go to my life blog!
-Yes, I'm shamelessly promoting my blog- ^_^

I have just finished playing Final Fantasy XV.
What can I say about this game?
It was worth the wait, oooooo baby, definitely!
I never thought I would be interested in fishing in any forms and this game threw that out the window with fiery popper Chocobo!
I love a game with a twist but this game twisted in a way that I expected to happen, just not too soon in the game.
I realized that the Empire isn't really the bad one immediately the moment I laid eyes on that guy.
I watched the movie before the game too. He just spews evil all over. 
Throughout the game, I was all like 'That Emperor ain't shit....Ardyn is so calling the shots'.
A huge fan of the story, unfortunately I had to think about it a bit.....by thinking, I mean Googling.
I wasn't sure if I were right because there's this thing about felling the Gods but how can people or our protagonists do that?
Not only that, the game says Shiva was killed by the Empire but there she is! 
So what exactly is this about?
Is the God dead or not?
What I found is their physical, huge-ass bodies are destroyed but they nevertheless remain on the planet as spirits or something like that.
I wish there was more within the game, I mean there could be, maybe in the Cosmology books in the game but I just don't understand them or missed a few issues. 
Who is my favourite character? 
Not Kairi....Iris for sure. She totally looks like Kairi and you feel the same.
Aranea!
Yeah, yeah I know she's the stereotypical tough lady of the game but she's cool, along with her voice.
Everything fits her!
Ignis, my cook! Man, I wish I could make food like that!
Camping is fun when there's gourmet food. That's the life lesson I learnt from this Final Fantasy!
What did I learn from FFX?
You don't fall in love with someone dreamy.....they are not real!
What more do I like? 
The plot is good, just needs more explaining here and there!
Leviathan being mean..... 
Battle system is pretty good....sometimes I got stuck in the corner from warping and had to reset...... well, that's not something that affects my opinion....not really.....
Man, Armiger......
I like the way magic works! Yeah, this is how it should be! Strong, stronger and super strong! Not weak, meh, yeah baby!
Ascension is pretty ok.....not a huge fan of gathering AP but.....it's alright. The name makes it sound as if Noctis and co. are gods.....they have ascended to god-like status! Armiger!
How often does one get to drive fancy ass cars? An Audi!? Why not BMW? Honestly, not a huge fan of Audi or Volkswagen.....
Overall, I give this game 'YEAH, I would totally play it!'.

Keep your eyes peeled!

XV Stories Of Games

Have you played Mortal Kombat X???????????????????????
IT'S REALLY GOOD!
Anyway, before I can elaborate on that, let's talk about other games.
It hasn't been 48 hours yet for me.

Finally!! Daedae appeared in Tellie GoT!
It just took two episodes to bring her out in the open.
Five minutes into the game, a dragon went ablaze.
I thought it was a wild dragon and then I went 'Hey, dragons are extinct in this world. That's why Daedae's dragons make people go oooooo and aaaaahhhhh'.
Sure enough it was hers.
Don't blame me for not recognizing him immediately, fellow fans.
I mean, we RARELY ever see them, in the show and in the game.
Yeah, yeah, it was Drogon. I get it!
And so Joffrey is down and Tyrion is out!
Too bad Mira. Maybe next time.
Knowing this series though, next time, shit gets shittier.
I wonder if the decree works after that.
I don't know how royal affairs go because I'm not a huge fan of royalty except the one which struts into my pocket but I think it should be invalid since the one who signed it is no longer in power.
Personally, I would stand by Margaery. I just know she's able to turn the tide.
Even though she's about to get owned by Cersei.
But I still want to believe a plot twist is in the making!
As for Asher, bros before hoes yo. His uncle was a bitch to Bessie and Bessie is kind of manly, thus the proverb.
Screw Malcolm, Beskha is my buddy.
Of course, it's not GoT if no one dies or turns traitor!
Gared, your bro thinks you're a creep and for some reason, your Wildling bro looks like a traitor.
I should have known.
The 'Spare Thy Life' option is never a real option.
It's just there to tease you. To make you regret your entire playthrough! Waaaaaaaaaaa.........
The North Grove........I believe! I'm a sucker for myths and legends.
I'll believe anything so let's get moving. Stop wasting time teasing us Telltale!!
Gryff is a piece of crap! Doohikkie! I just want to punch him.........beat him up real good.
I hope Rodrik enters beast mode in the next episode. Please do that.
I would love to see that happen.

Story Of Seasons is here!!!!
I'm enjoying the game.
Farming and animal care are much easier. I'm sure everyone agrees.
Music and art style - A+ all the way.
We can finally swim! Yes! What took them so long to implement that?
Probably the buffoons who do in-game stuff for real. Ergo, the warning in the game.
We can jump around freely too! YES!!
I can skip around town all day!
Our mission - to unlock traders! 
By doing what? Selling stuff!
Materials are pretty hard to get in this game but you know what they say?
A game isn't fun if it's easy as fuck!!!
I hate grinding which is why I'm taking my time with the materials.
I heard a lot of complaints about the tutorial period. 
What do I think?
I enjoyed it. It wasn't blatantly long.
Blueprints and recipes are harder to get because of the random house-visiting salespeople and the festivals.
OHHHH THE FESTIVALS!!!
Love-hate relationship time!!!!
The festival results are completely random!
I like it and hate it because I want the prize so bad but at the same time I want the difficulty level to go OVER 9000. 
Processing stuff takes time! 
It makes the game realistic but.................it's a long long time!!!!! 
I guess I can't stand it at times because there isn't a shipping bin anymore so you have to get things done if you want yo money man. 
Freshness is an issue!!
Realistic but errrrrr...........there are sprites, witches and goddesses in the game.
Why can't the crops be supernatural too??
That's the end of that.
Now.....why can't I rename my first cow!!! 
Not talking about my spouse by the way.
It's Hanako? The toilet chick? Mannnnnn........
Well, I love the variety of farm animals offered in this game.
My fave would be the llamas. I just love llamas.
The Mario crops are real helpful though I don't always get the one I need. 
That's just my luck. The RNG Goddess hates me.....a lot. Not just this game. In every other one.
The marriage system now dictates that you know how to cook your potential spouse's fave dish.
Belly no happy, wedding no come true. 
This is slave labour I tell you!!!!
The town is pretty, the characters are lovely and it's fun.
Overall, great game. It's a great HM game. I call it HM because I can.
Anyway, if you would like to trade FC, leave me a message on Tumblr.

It's upside-down day for me. There you go.
The bunny's name is Farronodin.

I enjoyed the FFXV demo.
I love it! Can't wait for the full game.
Love the music. Yoko Shimomura, you're a boss.
Noctis can jump freely!!
Yes, you can tell that I just love jumping.
The battle system is pretty engaging.
Parry is awesome. It's the killer move! You can destroy anything! 
I like how we can teleport around while battling.
It's clearly very important. It's one of the ways to recover.
It's like KH + The Last Of Us.
Look at the details in the environment. 
The shopkeepers are fun. It's an interactive environment. Shopping is no longer boring.
Look at the stuff on the shelves (not Cindy's rack).
It took me a while to know when the battle has begun. 
The monsters were just running everywhere.
Ramuh is back. I kind of wished for Quetzacotl because you know....Ramuh has appeared in so many other FFs as a summon. I want others to have screen time in the latest installment.
With that said though, Ramuh kicked ass. He was OP!
I don't know if they are going to change but please keep the parry feature.
Camping out is pretty fun. Look at that yummy food.
I don't know about gaining EXP while resting.
If level is important, this can break the game which is great for me because I HATE grinding.
So......hmmmmmm.................
It's strange that I'm into the demo more than the full game that came with it (Type-O says 'Fuck you Carlzodin').
Type-O is alright. I had fun. It's KH + Dissidia.
If you've played the PSP version, this is not much of a surprise.

Allow me to finish this post with......
Star Ocean 5 is coming!!!!!

Valley Born From Blood

I've been playing a lot.
I have to confess or I won't be able to sleep.
Sheaaah right.

I would love to say a few something about two games I've played.
They have kept me sane and I'm grateful.
It feels like I've attained immortality. Like always.
Before that high wears out, I shall discuss their amazing-ness and also turn-off-ing-ness.

But before that.........
GAME OF THRONES - SEASON 5!!
More dragons!!!!!!!!!!! -mostlikelynot-
YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

Bloodborne is a pretty good game.
I give it a thumbs up.
Yes. I love it. Not just because of the over-display of blood on people and monsters.
The bosses are fun to beat over and over.
It's never the same even if I had one strategy locked down.
That's essentially the beauty of action adventure and fluid gameplay.
You can do pretty much anything with some limitations.
I like how everything is not given to the player.
Like how I had to figure out what to do next.
Maybe I'm just dense but I had to go around gathering pieces in order to progress and I loved that.
I did spend a great deal of time looking for stuff and it was quite wearisome at times but hey, a game isn't worth playing if it's easy-peasy.
What killed the fun though not seriously was unreachable loot.
I don't know if anyone had this glitch but I couldn't get my loot at times because it's stuck.
The increased difficulty and further exploration to find lore and other secrets make this a replay-able game somewhat.
Replay value is one of the characteristics that makes me love a game so this one gets a B.
Music/sounds is good and befitting.
Graphics is great, as expected of a PS4 game and detailed.
Monsters look great. I love their designs and look at them walking tampons!
Can't get enough of blood from shows and animes?
Play. This. Game.

Next up!
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley by Natsume.
Let us first explore the name.
It's a HARVEST MOON GAME as the name says.
I don't know what's up with the argument about the name.
People claiming that this isn't a real HM game and SoS is.
Which means you're saying TLV is a fake HM game?
This whole name thing is a legal issue. Natsume owns the right to the name. That's it guys.
Honestly, to me, it's just a name.
What makes it HM in the first place?
Is it the farming part? The marriage part? The animal part? Befriending neighbours? The art style?
The style varies with each installment....so what's up really?? 
Hmmmm.......
Does that mean The Sims is a fake HM game?
You can plant stuff, have pets and get married with the extra bow-chicka-bow-wow part.
Not only that, you can get a divorce or sleep around and jinx people.
Wouldn't that make The Sims far more superior in terms of interaction than HM?
Please don't get me started on Farmville.
Don Mattrick clearly can't.
HM is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better.
Anyway, onwards to Minecraft TLV!
It's fun. The land is your playground. Shape it however you want because you're the only one there! 
No one cares if you destroy everything.
Excessive deforestation? Go ahead.
Landslide? Yes, make them bleeeeeeeeed.
Drill, fill, till, kill!!
That's a fun factor - personalizing your farm land.
The one important mission - unlocking seasons.
The villagers are unlocked from certain activities like fishing as you progress with the story and season unlocking.
That's not as bad as it sounds. It's like ANB except no access to the season and facilities instead of just the facilities which also means your potential spouse and friends.
If you're the kind who gets bored of seeing the same thing, you might flip.
It's pretty much winter the whole time. It takes quite awhile to unlock the next season and the next one. 
You could unlock a season but if it's not currently that time of the year, the effect of the crystal reviving that season is moot.
It's amazing how we can save the land with strawberry jam.
I like how we don't have to pull our tools out without ripping our pants.
Actions are initiated upon contact.
Want to milk your cow and water your veges? Just stand there and look pretty.
Something to think about would be the soil quality. A bit of RF4 for you there.
Have to be careful so that they don't dry out, depending of how fertile the soil is of course.
As for flowers, can't just plant them anywhere.
Bone-picking time!
What is up with the Harvest Sprites??? Not talking about their looks.
Diligence people!!
They can't work for an appropriate amount of time.
I have to ring the barn bell to get my animals out and in? Cool. Better than pushing.
So...........
Why do I need the sprite???!!!!!!
Why can't I do this on my own???!!!
My social links!! Where fore art thou fun social life????
I can't go anywhere! People come to me but not every day?? Hanging around my house? Looking into my windows? No way! Are you spying???
Don't really like that. I've always enjoyed walking around town, talking to people and giving them gifts.
Drawing graffiti on their homes! 
Yeah, I live a thug's life.
I wish we could travel to town but no.
We could go to Heaven, but not town. Can't you flipping believe it!!
That makes me salty........ 
If they aren't there on that day, you don't see them......at........all.
Anyway, music and art style!!
HM music is always good. Relaxing and filled with serenity, more so than yoga.
Art style - cute and realistic!
Realistic in a way that people are like that in real life!
So arrogant up there that their heads expand to the size of a pumpkin leaving the torso unattended.
That makes no sense but seriously......I think the characters are pretty and bubbly and item avatars are just swell XD
I'll end this with a note worthy of your attention.
Dewey sucks.
