How it feels crawling back to Softcore after losing several characters in a month

It bothers me that Riku and Maleficent's relationship wholly disappears after KH1

Riku's entire story and redemption post KH1 is framed with his relationship to Ansem. Ansem haunts him throughout Chain of Memories. He takes on Ansem's visage when he taps into the darkness to defeat Roxas. He's once again confronted by Ansem in Dream Drop Distance. And yet... Maleficent had just as much of a hand in Riku's fall to darkness in KH1. I feel like it was a real missed opportunity for them to interact so little. Shouldn't Riku coming to terms with and confronting Maleficent and her manipulation be just as much of a part of his redemption as his history with Ansem?

We're spoiled for choice when it comes to raising the damage cap now

Damage Cap Sigils, Lucillius Sigils, Fatebreaker, Lumen Sigils, the new Mastery Bonuses, Weapon Transcendance, Summon Passives and more I'm probably forgetting. We've come a hell of a long way from just having the regular Damage Cap sigils at launch.

Are there any cars you used to own that you miss? That you would go back to?

I've been reminiscing a lot about a 2014 Lancer Evo X that I owned. Pure white, no spoiler, black rims and red mud flaps. It was an automatic which I'm sure some people will turn their nose up at but damn was it fun to throw around. Unfortunately one of the tires exploded on the highway on my way to work one day and I ended up on the business end of a barrier. If it weren't for that I'm sure I'd still have it.

What about you guys? Any previous car you've owned that you want back?

I hope KH4 and onwards make the Heartless a more existential threat again

I'm sure the focus of the upcoming game(s) will be on the Foretellers/Luxu/Master of Masters and whatever they have planned. With that being said I hope that, with darkness being newly introduced "as a concept" to Quadratum, that it makes the Heartless a much larger threat in line with KH1. It feels like they've been somewhat sidelined over time with the introduction of Nobodies/Unversed/Nightmares and the focus on Xehanort's larger schemes.

Is Devastation worth using on a Cold Arcanist/Shaman build?

I just finished up normal using Flash Freeze and Trozan's Sky Shard and FF is starting to fall off. Is Devastation a good skill to swap it out for? My main concern is that the only damage conversion I have to cold for it is from Star Pact.

Resisting the urge to start a new playthrough for the next month will be agonizing.

There's nothing more I want to do than play some Grim Dawn but I really don't want to burn myself out before Asterkarn. Can someone put me in cryosleep for a month?

What's the "silliest" reason you haven't played, or stopped playing, an RPG?

I really like being able to see my characters in battle. I haven't gotten into the older Dragon Quests or games like Etrian Odyssey because of that. If I can't see my little guys do their flashy attacks then why am I even playing?

I'm blown away by the amount of music they crammed into FF7 Rebirth

I'm around 25 hours in, just made it to the Golden Saucer and I've already heard more variety in the OST than 99% of the games I've played ever had. Every area has it's own unique BGM and a battle mix to go with it. Even several sidequests have had their own BGM/battle music for their duration and I'm struggling to think of another game that's done that. Not mention the music for the various minigames.

I can't judge the game as a whole yet but I can say that the sound team went absolutely nuts for this game and I can't praise them enough.

How "complete" is the Trails in the Sky trilogy?

I've been enjoying the demo for Trails in the Sky 1st remake but I'm not necessarily interested in playing the entire series. Does the Sky trilogy tell a complete story or am I better off moving on to something a bit more self contained?
