Hello, I'm The CrimsonWanderer, Also known as Adol (previously known as AdolEmelys and AdolZeppeli)
I like to play games (Currently Playing CSIV), 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)
In a world where everyone is angry all the time, be the one that makes the difference. Carve it, Carve it on your flesh, Carve it into the land, Carve it into the sea, Carve it into your enemies, Carve it on your spoils, Carve it, Carve that warmth into me... To you, who's reading this, Please, be happy

If you're here because I rated something you liked lower than 4 please consider this:
1- We have different taste, and that's perfectly fine. I have my own takes and you have yours, nothing is written on stone as the absolute truth.
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.

I don't know if these guys are good or not, but it kind of annoys me that the only games that are stuck with NISA's barbarians are the mainline games.
It's nice if it helps you to tackle your backlog, but I doubt I'd find this method helpful. I usually go at it depending on my mood and wouldn't be able to play one thing when there is another thing I'm more interested in a few clicks away from me.
Two titles per year seems kind of crazy. As egoistical as it may sound, I'm not very enthusiastic about Falcom "growing" given the current climate of the video-game industry. Usually it doesn't mean anything good for the quality of the games, more annoying "managers" and "counselors" managing the work of the actual developers, etc.
EN is still 3 years behind. Kuro II is a 2022 game and they release it in 2025. Kai is a late 2024 game so... I just hope that PC port will be made sooner rather than later and have JP text instead of making it a prisoner of NISA's release. IIRC the fans who made EN patch for Kuro II had to use a console-based Youtube playthrough because apparently you can't rip the script from the console version and Asian PC release has JP text cut in favor of NISA for some incomprehensible reason. Also, while JP to EN machine translation nowadays is quite good it doesn't mean anything if you have to translate from Korean or Chinese because JP is unavailable lol. It's almost insane how both Falcom and NISA make everything in their power to make lives of their EN player more difficult.
All in all, Erebonian arc is probably the least dark of all four so yeah, I think it wasn't surprise to anyone that Olivier and the others have survived. It would be a shame if he died, but I guess it can appear a little bit cheesy.
It's kind of amazing that you plan your gaming sessions the whole year ahead... Tbh I'm not super excited about the FC remake, I'd rather play Kai ASAP. Also, the pettiness in me worries it will invite even more toxic people to the series, those who were gatekept by chibis and old release date.
They'll likely to use the same script as the XSeeds TL, so it won't be as terrible as what NISA does. Man, will I see the day Falcom dumps that terrible company?
Well, people were angry about the lack of answers in Kuro II too, but I didn't mind that. I like just being immersed in Zemuria's world and seeing how the characters live and interact.
Those numerical names are how the guns they represent are called :P
UMP9 is this:
Farewell, O Zemuria should hopefully get an English announcement next year.
Oh a positive note, Trails in the Sky 1st remake is not a Switch exclusive and coming Fall 2025 worldwide
Aunque bueno, no fue nada malo al final.
Buen día, espero estés muy bien en estos días de fiesta.

Gracias.
Voy a ver que tal, ya noto que es un poco distinto a los dos anteriores, pero igual siguiendo a ver que tal.
Eso creí, un poco más de relación entre ellas y creo que hubiese mejorado mi apreciación. Esos saltos de años me parecieron muy bruscos.
Un dia Mister Crimson. Ya llegaremos a terminar toda la saga Trails.
Yo estoy bien, muchas gracias.
Por cierto, acabo de terminar Trails in the Sky SC y... ¡Madre mía! Demasiado bueno. Me encanto como termino la relación de Joshua con Stelle - y su amigo también, pobre de él por cierto-. Como se revela que al final Weismann era solo otro peón más del plan de "Gran maestro" y como se entreve que solo es el comienzo de algo mucho más grande. Ya me puse a jugar la tercera parte, le tengo muchas ganas a ver como continua toda la saga.
También me vi "Look Back", muy bonita. Aunque me parecio - y esto es más una critica constructiva que un error- algo corta y, por ende, con un ritmo un poco apresurado. Eso si, derrame una lagrima por Kyomoto, fue bastante triste.
Espero disfrutes la ultima parte de "Cool and Steel", yo ya llegare ahí pronto.
Well, there were plenty of people who were saying that "Trails is over" after Cold Steel was released due to 3D engine and some tropes that they didn't like; and apparently, sales of Kuro I and II weren't that good, although I still have no idea why is that. Maybe players got burnt out after Hajimari or something - one of my friends actually dropped it during prologue.
The irony is that I still have good opinion on Owari no Seraph, whereas I don't care about AoT anymore. I saw some Mika x Yuu shippers, but honestly it didn't feel very yaoish to me. I got a feeling that the story goes in the Yuu x Shinoa direction, but I have no idea how it's in the manga. If anything, Ferid (whom I liked the most among the men) felt more into that territory than both of them.
Tbh those events can be canonical, it's just that not every player gets to experience them.

Also, thanks for participating in that contest and please nominate another girl since my other friend beat you to Vladilena by a few minutes lol.
Well, Osborne is super charismatic, so it would make sense. At least as far as I'm concerned, he's the most imposing antagonist in all Kiseki so far.
There are many ways to ruin a great story unfortunately. It won't make previous games bad, but the overall beauty of the series would be lost if something dull came out in the end. AoT is a good example of this, I think. After S4 came out, I lost all interest in it lol. However, even if something like this happened, Kiseki is in a better place overall though. At least I could still appreciate some old moments.
Shinoa is definitely one of the best anime girls out there. Funny, cute, sexy, smart, stylish, kind, etc. I think Owari no Seraph is kind of underappreciated compared to some other popular shounen.
Yeah, Laura surely became very assertive over time there. Well, some bonds aren't compatible with each other. For example, you can't really mix kissing scenes together unless you decide to make a harem route haha.
Estelle, is that you?
If you're not a fan of how the curse is portrayed, I think you can look at it metaphorically. I.e. there are many people in real life who support all kinds of vile/stupid stuff just because it's a "commonly accepted way of looking at things". And when this trend goes down, those who supported it usually try to make it look like they never supported it in the first place ha-ha.
Well, Falcom can actually make an open ending. Or mess up the whole lore, its setting and story by making something like "Zemuria is actually just a simulation so nothing matters". It would be very disappointing. As for me, I typically liked Sara x Rean ship the most, even though Laura was my personal favorite (and still is, if we exclude Shizuna).
Eh, I don't think I could motivate myself to grind/do dailies and events for male gacha characters. Pulling on a banner for Rean, Randy, Crow - yeah, sure thing, but those dudes from Genshin and HSR - nah.
I heard some good things about ReFantazio, but for some reason I don't have any desire to play it. I'd rather just read some VN instead lol.
With my profile, I decided to go with simplicity this time. I think the previous version was "cooler", but this one has different strengths. I think the color palette of this artwork is really easy on the eyes.
Owari no Seraph S1 was amazing. Very stylish, nice action, amazing opening, charming characters (especially Shinoa and to a lesser degree Ferid) and I love vampire theme. S2 was disappointing, but overall I still like it and want S3 to happen.
Well it's great that you're enjoying it and continuing playing despite some issues. I think CSIV is the longest game in the series so there's plenty of stuff for you to do going forward.
Yep, Altina certainly grew, no wonder she's one of the most popular characters in the series. As for canonical love interest, well I guess it would be more interesting than Alisa, but personally I want Falcom to finish what they started in CSI and let the player choose Rean's life partner. If it doesn't happen in the last game in the series, it would suck.
I think March is fine on her own, but compared to some other characters? Naaah. She's only as popular as she is mostly because of how much screen-time she gets. Dan Heng on the other hand is simply boring, but to be fair, I'm not a fan of male characters in gachas in general. For example, there are tons of male characters I love in single-player games (Kiseki guys, Adol, Wolf, VC protags, etc.) but in gachas they simply take away the resources and time slots which could be used for pullable girls instead. That's why I think gachas that aren't mixed-sex are generally better.
Elden Ring PvE Moba? Sounds crazy.
Are you planning to play ReFantazio?
The more I play GFL2 the more I like it.
Yeah, it's super annoying being an adult but being treated like a child by these corporations.
Also, saw that apparently new Witcher was announced but:
- I tried reading books and dropped them.
- I tried playing Witcher 1 and dropped it.
- I tried playing Witcher 3 and dropped it.
So needless to say I'm not very enthusiastic about it.
I've played GFL2 for a bit more. Character models and animations are definitely one of my favorite so far and among gachas - easily top-1. And boy, how many various ways to enjoy them there are.
The main problem with piracy is that copyrighters are usually backed by the governments so it's not really a fair playing field. Kinda insane that in some countries people can go to jail for copying digital content.
Yep, I can totally understand you. I think it's possible that my habit was the result of me getting burned over something like that long time ago ha-ha.
Yeah, Rance is such a dick. I think 95% of his dialogue would be considered extremely offensive by the snowflake crowd. Not to mention all the stuff that he does to female characters.
That screenshot of Groza that I posted above (the one in the purple dress) is a good example of what I mean too. If her breasts were much bigger you wouldn't be able to see her ribs.
