March Status Update

By

 Hello.

I am sure there's not many people reading this, but I might as well give an update on myself.

I've been doing fine. I recently completed my playthrough of Trials of Mana, also informally known as Seiken Densetsu 3, over here. Unlike my previous LPs of the franchise, I won't be reposting it here - I already reposted it in a discord where most people interested in it have already seen it, and where it can be decently archived, so long as Discord doesn't go down.

I've also been playing Revikatis' mod for Tactics Ogre: Reborn, which seems to have a lot of promising changes. It's still pretty early in the game, but I like what I've played of it so far, and am hopeful of it remaining pleasant.

I'm also considering starting a screenshot LP of Star Ocean: The Second Story very soon. I think there aren't any good LPs of it on the Internet, aside maybe from Grimith's video LP, which is excellent, but also sadly unfinished. While it's not a perfect game by any means, I do think it tries a fair few interesting things, and deserves a fair portrayal.

Well, that'll do it for now. See you next time!

About Me

By
  I am Dev Jyoti Chand, a man of many interests. Chiefly, I like playing video games, specifically, strategy 4xes, strategy RPGs, and adventure games. My favorite games are Master of Magic, Tactics Ogre, specifically the SNES/PS1 version, and Quintessence - The Blighted Venom. I also am very interested in learning about history, especially ancient and medieval history, and am ever curious to learn more about the world. This blog is mostly a grab bag of subjects I felt strongly enough about to dedicate words upon words. Most notable among them are a series of challenge runs of the Star Ocean 2 remake, a long form commentary on To the Moon that I am not particularly proud of these days, and, more recently, LPs of the classic Mana games . I am ever eager to talk about my interests, and am very accepting of feedback, as long as it is given in good faith. If you wish to contact me, you may do so through the following means: Shoot an email to dev221117@gmail.com Join my Discord with th...

Caster of Magic for Windows School Evaluations: Death

By
 Now for the very final school of the game, the cold, clammy twin of the divine/deathly pair. DEATH Death is the realm of decay, evil and, well, death. Most of its spells either summon demonic creatures, turn foes to its side by raising them as undead, or weaken them. In this manner, it acts as the exact opposite to Life - that realm was all about strengthening itself, this is about weakening the world from within. Thus, it doesn't care about regular units much, choosing to fight either with its summons, or its curses. Common Tier 1. Skeletons: Cost: 25 MP Effect: Summons a skeleton unit to the overworld. Analysis: Death lays its cards pretty early with this summon - it's literally a spearman unit, but undead! Actually, they fight better than spearmen, having more figures, defense, the whole bevy of Deathly immunities(immunity to Death, Cold and Illusions), and Missile Immunity on top of that! That said, their stats are pretty horrid, and they definitely shouldn't be used a...

Caster of Magic for Windows School Evaluations: Life

By
 We now move away from the "natural" elements and into the realm of divine and deathly duality. We're first covering the more lawful/"divine" side of it, the school of Life. LIFE Life is the realm of the divine. It expresses its themes through spells that "bless" their targets and either directly make them stronger, or protect them from deathly effects, usually from the Chaos and Death realms. It also has spells to similarly "bless" cities and either make them more defensible, or improve their economy. And, to top it all off, it has a bevy of appropriately "divine" summons. But its clearest focus is on its buffs, and as such, most of this list is made up of them. Thus, it is much more dependant on regular units than other realms, and picking the right race matters far more while playing this school. Common Tier 1. Bless: Cost: 7(in combat)/35 MP Effect: Grants 5 defense and 5 resistance against Chaos and Death spells, fire/lightning...
