Japanese RPG Pet Peeves – Thoughts about Annoyances and Inconveniences in Role Playing Games
As I shared in my previous posts, I tend to prefer Japanese made games, mainly Japanese roleplaying games. While I enjoy playing them mostly for its story, characters, art direction and even most of the gameplay aspects, there are a few annoyances and inconveniences that I dislike. (Image Source)

Atelier Escha and Logy – Episode 1 – The First Day of Alchemy
Back in 2012 when I regained interest in Japanese RPGs, I decided to get a copy of Atelier Totori Plus (in Japanese) and Atelier Meruru. While the Arland trilogy is more light-hearted compared to the Dusk series, I enjoyed these games mostly for the fact that it was not a traditional Japanese RPG featuring a teenaged male hero going off on an adventure to save the world, but rather one starring a young cheerful female character (with a few exceptions) that make weapons, gather items, do quests, battle monsters and make items through alchemy. While the first several games only got released in Japan, the Atelier games definitely influenced Japanese RPGs in general as many of them implemented some type of item crafting, especially weapons and equipment.
Atelier Escha and Logy is the 15th game in the series and since I played most of the game already, I was excited to see the first episode of this adaptation.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth2 Sister’s Generation – First Impressions
Just a few months ago, I shared my final impressions of the first Rebirth game and I thought Compile Heart and Felistelia did a great job fixing all of the flaws from the original game such as having all the goddesses join throughout the story, using battle system from Victory and having improved graphics.
Just a few weeks ago, Neptune Rebirth 2 Sister’s Generation got released, which is a remake of Mk2. This is odd considering that the second game wasn’t nearly as flawed compared to the first. Despite this, since I played 14 hours, it’s time to share my initial thoughts of the game. (Image Source)
