I played this when I was very young but didn't get to finish it at all, only few missions through. But I recently just completed it! And boy, I got lots of things to say...

• Really great storytelling! From the dialogue, to the voice acting, I got really into the storyline. I'd watch a TV/film adaptation of this.
• Kenji is also very nice and kind. Such an ideal hero/protagonist. Makes using/fighting as him so inspirational. I adore that little animation of him doing some swordsmanship display when he's idle, and then he politely bows afterwards.
• Poor Otomo. Really made me emotional when I saw his tombstone with sword, food/offerings, and those cherry blossoms falling around it. Such a nice touch.
• The Lotus clan -- always a pain in the *ss. I complained about this in an earlier post of mine, lmao. And I thought the Wolf army from Swan's Pool was gonna be the end of me lol (that's why as a kid I never played Kenji's Journey again cause of that mission, I kept losing).
• Great penultimate and ultimate missions! Makes all the headache and countless of saves from the difficulty so worth it! Dragon struggles against Lotus, but the challenge made it all more satisfying to complete despite my frustratons, haha.
• KENJI WITH DRAGON SPIRIT FORM. That's it. 'Nuff said.
• EPIC finale. What an incredible campaign! All hail, Lord Dragon!

I loved everything about this campaign! Ed and the Battle Realms team did such an incredible job! Dragon is growing on me to be my favorite clan.

I'm wondering, is this the canon ending? I know there's also the Serpent path where you side with the bandits, but the epicness of this ending seems to me as very substantial and essentially canon-like.

Honestly, I don't really need a Battle Realms 2 with an entire overhaul. What I really wanted back then right from the beginning was a Lotus campaign, just like many players do.

However, I'd like it to be in the same graphics as the 2001-02 Battle Realms (cause I'm too fond and attached to it lol) and only serving as an expansion exactly like Winter of the Wolf. Then simply call it, "Battle Realms: Lair of the Lotus"

That's it. Would that be hard/expensive to be made at all?

Then again after so many years, I'm gutted that nothing has ever come out. It's been so long. I'm glad that I have recently remembered this game.

I just played Battle Realms for the first time after many many years.

I'm shook at how crazy the difference is in their early and late stages. They're so slow and vulnerable at the beginning it's almost pitiful to ravage through them, but insanely strong when they've had their entire army and buildings formed. It's so intimidating.

I don't remember them being this OP at all, lol. Or am I just overwhelmed?

Those Lotus watchtowers (with Unclean and Warlock) are the bane of my existence.

Is it just me? Like every year sobrang consistent and productive ni Angel whether locally or internationally, but I feel like hindi pa 'to yung peak niya?

It actually gives me goosebumps na she's above UAAP levels and international calibre already yet her apex form is yet for us to see.

I have a feeling she'll unleash that in her pro career. Magandang exposure 'tong Asian Games for foreign teams to see her capabilities. I really hope Angel can be an import in Europe, most especially, in the future. Ang laki ng potential at ceiling niya.

She may be the next international sensation beyond SEA region. (Let's hope!!)

Legendary Lovers is doing really well on Spotify. I wonder if there's a chance it could chart on Billboard Hot 100? Or do they have to release it as a single?

The song has SOOOO MUCH potential to be a hit! It should've been a #1 from PRISM instead of releasing Birthday & This Is How We Do (though I like Birthday, the MV just cursed the song).
