Hello, I'm The CrimsonWanderer, Also known as Adol (previously known as AdolEmelys and AdolZeppeli)

I like to play games (Currently Playing FF VII Rebirth, watch anime (duh), series and (sometimes) movies.

I'm usually chill as long as I'm addressed nicely.

I can be found in Backloggd, and Anilist. There you can see my Video Games list, and my alternative anime list (in which I'm more active)

Don't get bossed by the Ambassadors of Hatred™, they can be as loud as as they want, but if they don't change their harmful ways, society will never change.

They've got to earn our respect if they want to be respected. It's imperative that these individuals understand cultural differences as well as proper etiquette, instead of throwing a tantrum every time they see something they don't like.

Only then, genuine bonds, acceptance, and respect will arise.

In a world where everyone is angry all the time, be the one that makes the difference.

2- I might have watched it with the wrong mindset, I'll decide if I'll give it a second chance at a later date.
3- I might have found it insanely annoying.
4- I don't owe anyone an explanation of why I like or dislike something, but if you ask nicely I can give you a brief summary of my thoughts.

Looking at your profile background, I guess you've still not finished with FF7 Rebirth. But overall yes, if you enjoy the game - some grind can be welcome, if you're having mixed experiences then you're likely going to want to be done with it ASAP. That's probably why Grind/Extra dungeons in Kiseki never tire me out.

As they say - the bigger the better... Or not. When they as big as in Action Taimanin things can get really out of hand (I'm still surprised I have 300+ hours in this game).

Btw by reminding me of Strinova's existence you sort of robbed 40+ hours from me :P

Well, so far Falcom never disappointed me so I'm not too worried about possible retcons, but overall I'd prefer if things didn't deviate from the original too much. I already think it would not be very tasteful if they are going to add links mechanic since lore-wise it was based on Arcus which was developed during Cold Steel times.

Yo estoy bien, muchas gracias.

Quería preguntarte: ¿Qué te pareció el final? especialmente sobre tres cosas: 1- Que lo que hayamos visto sea una especie de "mundo paralelo" donde todo lo relacionado pudo haber pasado de otra manera distinta 2- Que le hubiesen quitado la "inocencia" de Rafal y volverlo, a mi parecer, una persona un poco psicópata 3- No estoy muy claro como entender el mensaje final, ¿es la búsqueda del conocimiento buena o mala?¿Conlleva realizar todos los sacrificios posibles (como asesinar) para encontrarla o solo es buena cuando es útil - las posturas de Rafal y el padre de Albert ? De verdad que es poco ambiguo la serie.

A mi parecer, y espero me perdone por estarlo molestando por esto, fue un final que me convenció pero me dejo con sentimientos encontrados. Alabe muchas de sus cosas, pero también me hizo preguntarme muchas otras. O, a lo mejor, esa fue la intención desde el principio.
ArteEstetico Mar 15, 8:11 PM
Buenas, ¿Cómo has estado? ¿Todo bien?
Disculpa, ¿puedo hacerte una pregunta acerca de "Chi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite"? Si no hay problema, por supuesto.
Shizuna Mar 12, 5:19 PM
Speaking of grindy mechanics, I wonder what you're going to think about such dungeons in the latest Kiseki games. I don't think it would spoil you anything (and you probably heard about it anyway), so I'll mention that they have randomly generated levels you can clear over and over. Personally, I love them, since they give you a way to:
- Spend time fighting between rounds of going around towns and talking to NPCs.
- You can play characters who are currently not in your party there.
But I guess you might be thinking something along the lines "of course this guy likes it, is there anything he doesn't like about these games?" XD.

I'll probably use them on some new Kikyo variant, it's not like I'm invested in game's meta anyway and I'm not even doing anything other than logging in.

It's kind of unlucky that most of my friends live so far away.

Strange. Considering Evolution is fully voiced they could've used already existing voices. But if they get a new cast and voice everything it will be another reason for me to feel salty lol considering the main games are only partially voiced. Also, I hoped there would be no English dub since it would increase the chances of English subs being better, but alas. And I agree about the OST, I like OG more.
Shizuna Mar 11, 8:18 AM
I found that "occupy zones" segment to be very tiresome and didn't like it overall. The story seemed OK for the most part though, made me like Kuroko more than Shiroko. Speaking of BA, when I launched it recently for the first time in a while I noticed that I have 14k pyro which I probably saved for swimsuit Hiyori before uninstalling the game lol, so even though I don't play the game I have enough currency to pull on one banner.

As for Strinova, I'm still enjoying it, but when I tried to play it with a friend from Asia we weren't able to start the game because of the high ping, so I guess if I tried playing with you the result would be the same.
Shizuna Mar 7, 6:49 AM
True that, you probably can't.

The funny thing about toxicity in competitive video-games is that their developers typically fight it by banning "bad words" and punishing those who use it, but it doesn't achieve anything.

Man, you're making me sound bad since I play it solo just because I liked that sniper girl's design and voice :D

Yeah, Xseed's TL wasn't perfect, but at least I never felt like they're being disrespectful to the series or malicious towards the players.
Shizuna Mar 5, 3:41 PM
I think Rinze is sort of like Altina, but without sarcastic remarks/dark past and insecurities that come with it.

Yeah, I sometimes think that if I had the same behavior as those people who always cry about how bad everyone is and how unlucky they are to get such a team I'd be ashamed of myself. And it's not even an age-related issue, e.g. when I was much younger and played League I never belittled my teammates. Everyone can have a bad game and given the difference in skill depending on matchmaking everyone is going to have poor performances when matched against those who have better skills/knowledge about the game. Moreover, demotivating your teammates is counterproductive to winning the game.

Oh, so you were playing it with friends. Nice.

Well, Xseed sold them standalone (I remember purchasing Laura's casual look for example) and CLE/Falcom sells them in different packs; from what I've seen, only NISA puts everything in the same pack.

True, that would be nice. I'm not a big fan of fighting games btw.
Shizuna Mar 5, 7:10 AM
Yeah, unlike me you are usually very fast with replies so I was a little surprised when I didn't hear back from you as quickly as usual XD

What's funny Madoka isn't even one of the original Shiny Color characters, she was added on its... Third year, I think? Yet, she is more well known than the others. Shiny Colors game is in Japanese only and its anime is fully CGI - I tried watching it, but it was awful. Other than Chiyuki, my Shiny Colors favorites are Rinze, Sakuya and Asahi - what is your opinion on their designs?

That's one of the reasons I have chat disabled in both CS and this game. Teammates are rarely saying anything helpful or interesting and I don't want to spend any time reading complains of people who can't control themselves - this is counterproductive to the "chilling goals".

Oh, I didn't think about it. Maybe Overwatch publishers don't even know about this game's existence lol.

I don't think it's that bad. If you're going to make a characters with unique gameplay and animations like wolf in Sekiro had, you're going to need some monetary incentives. Not to mention, the DLCs that exist currently are expensive as hell anyway. Btw, I don't like how NISA puts all DLC costumes in the same pack - if I was interested in just one of them, why would I want to pay for the stuff I'm not going to use anyway?
Shizuna Mar 4, 8:01 AM
Perhaps I should send a message to their support then. Kind of doubt it would work though.

Madoka is indeed seem to be popular even among those who haven't played Shiny Colors or any even any other Idolmaster games. I don't know why is that, though.

I play Deathmatch only when I need a little exp left to level up. I don't like how chaotic it is, e.g. you spawn and get killed from behind the very next moment. So I play competitive most of the time. Well, it has escort maps like Overwatch and bomb planting like CS, but I don't think it should be a case for lawsuit. When it comes to such things, 95% of games copy what their predecessors have made. For example, someone created the concept of the "health bar" long ago and now it is present in the majority of games. What I find weird though is how the premium currency is called. "Bablo Crystals". "Bablo" is vulgar/slang name for money in Russian lol.

Make a souls Falcom game with Rean/Estelle protagonist and then introduce new characters via DLCs with their unique gameplays. Would be pretty awesome.

I decided to follow your advice. That was a nice idea.
Shizuna Mar 3, 10:41 AM
There's also a character who looks like HSR Seele.

A-ha-ha, lol. If it's indeed because of Olivia, then the moderator needs a new pair of eyes, because it's not a dick, but rather empty space between her boob and arm.
Let me guess, you know Chihaya (would be strange if you didn't know one of your favorite characters XD), Minami, maybe Chiyuki too, Kafka, Raiden, Tericula, Kikyou, Tomoe... Not sure about the others. Btw, before I replaced her with Fancy, it was Atago for Azur Lane.

I managed to figure out how this sniper rifle works so it's not that bad anymore. I like that rounds in this game are very short and aesthetically it's much more motivational than Counter Strike haha.

True, Nobeta is similar to that. Alternatively, just make a Kiseki spin off souls game!

I want to update my "favorite character list" for Kiseki and I've been considering replacing Altina with Crow, but I'm not sure about it - do you think it would spoil something to players who haven't played Cold Steel III yet?
Shizuna Mar 3, 5:02 AM
Your link doesn't work, seems like you copied it before it finished generating. Speaking of imgur, this site is so annoying. imgBB has been failing me quite often lated (sometimes the images I upload don't load, sometimes they do), so I tried getting back to using imgur and less than 24 hours since I uploaded this
it got deleted for breaking community guideless. And it, like all my images, were set as "hidden" posts. I can't even image what is so bad about that image it had to be deleted lol.

I tried playing Strinova and it ended up better than I expected, here are my first matches:




At first I thought I'm playing against bots, but then I unlocked the character I was interested in and performed rather poorly (I was never good with sniper rifles in shooter games).

That said, I might play it for a bit nonetheless. That "2D" thing weirded me out though and it looks awful aesthetically in my opinion.

Yeah, I don't believe those statements about Concord are genuine. One of the main problems of this industry is that it was infiltrated by a lot of people who don't care about games being fun and are there just to grift/push their agendas.

Naaah. It would be really pathetic of me to switch now.

From what I can tell, Majula seems to be universally praised, even though DSII typically gets critisized the most among the FromSoftware games. How'd you feel if they made a souls-like game but with bright colors and cute character designs?
Shizuna Mar 2, 12:54 PM
That image (Rean playing MiSide) is perhaps what happens when Rean doesn't get close to any of the girls from his team. Seems like MiSide is really popular. Speaking of small games, recently I finished the main story of Chrono Ark and I can confidently say that it is a really good game. My friend advertised me it for a long time and recently he decided to gift me to give me the final push ha-ha. It has great art, nice story and engaging and nicely balanced gameplay.

Strinova isn't exactly what I have in mind. I want a simple, but a well-balanced shooter without any gimmicks, skills and that sort of thing. But you know, after you mentioned it this time, I decided to check the characters it has. These look nice:

The first one is even voiced by Uchida Maaya... Maybe I should give it a try after all lol. If the images don't load here are the direct links: one and two.

They are probably not serving even themselves. I doubt that people who make models and coding are passionate about many recent flops they were making. For example, would you feel proud about contributing to something like Concord? Those managers/English VA/writes however - they probably enjoy being "on the right side of history" or whatever.

I meant new Elden Ring :P Hopefully I'll continue Ys sooner rather than later, however - there is no way someone is going to be as appealing to me as her.

That's fair. One thing I like about DSI and DSII locations is that even just traveling through them is a journey, whereas in Sekiro you can just skip through them as long as you've killed the boss.

Shizuna Feb 27, 6:52 AM
I think to be good dailies need to be challenging and not very long. If they're visually pleasing that also helps. Most of the time they're just mindless grind though. As an example, I find weekly matches in Counter Strike 2 better than typical daily tasks in gachas, however, I wish the devs would decrease the number of matches you need to win per week; 1 per week is enough for me, more than that become a chore. Speaking of CS, I wonder why there is no decent shooter with anime aesthetics yet.

Hmm, I wonder if people who play Sora FC remake will also try to get into original sky trilogy afterwards too.

You know, I wanted to check something in Hajimari a few days ago, launched it and was shocked by how old the graphics look like compared to Kuro+. The contrast is even more striking than between OG FC and remake because both Kuro and CS+ are 3D. That just goes to show how much Falcom improved over the years.

Fan-service seems like such a no-brainer. "Service for fans" -> you add it and fans give you more money. Yet we are living in weird times when many publishers are actively fighting the fans of their products.

Well we'll see how it goes. Or I guess YOU will haha, since I doubt I'll play it any time soon.
Between all Dark Souls, Sekiro and Elden Ring, which world do you find the most interesting to explore and appealing to look at?

Hola! Disculpa la tardanza en responder, MAL no me notificó que recibí mensajes acá ese día y me fijé hoy de pura casualidad los comentarios lol.

Gracias. Espero que estés bien. Abrazos!
Shizuna Feb 18, 7:14 AM
That seems like a smart idea, doing daily gacha grind after work would probably feel terrible since, in a way, it's a "work" too unless you're enjoying the process, but other than imas gachas and llsif I can't remember any other time I had fun with repetitive parts of gacha gameplay. There is an ironic example of Touhou - the main games are very fun and you can enjoy playing them repeatedly, but its gacha is just a chore.

The "too dated" argument started to feel familiar to me lately as well. After playing Kuro and especially Kai I'm a bit reluctant to go back to previous arcs (although to be fair, I'm not sure if it's just visual/gameplay difference or the fact that previous arcs have a severe lack of a certain silver haired girl). Otherwise... Yeah, there aren't many old games I still have interest in, so I don't feel that nostalgia bias.
I didn't like FF XIII, can't even remember its story by now, but I have a friend who is a massive fan of it. It's interesting how different games affect different people. The last one I've played was that one that had a team full of guys, but I dropped it fairly quickly. Same thing as it was with Witcher - couldn't manage to care about what's going on in the story.

Nope, first time seeing these names. It's kind of crazy though that Westerners decided to self-destruct their video-game industry and also managed to infect several major Japanese corporations with their anti-fun and anti-beauty ideology, so now it's China who is on the rise. I don't know if I'll play these games though. In January I played MiSide and Snezhinka:Sentinel Girls2, both are very short games (also finished Rance 9); in February it's just Kai, so my "media consumption" is very slow.

I saw Lies of P several times on Steam Store, probably looked through its screenshots too, but I didn't feel compelled to play it. If you decide to play it it'll be interesting to read your thoughts about it.
Looks like the owners of Elden Ring decided to profit on its popularity. Isn't this the first time something like this happens with Souls franchise? Well, hopefully the fans are going to like it.

Well, I've been on a diet since I was 20 so I can relate a bit. From my experience, the best motivator to eat healthy is when you start to feel sick, but it's definitely better to not reach such conditions. I wish you guys all the discipline and vitality you need to remain as healthy as possible.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
