I have finally played AND finished Echoes of Wisdom, and it was good!

I've 100% it and it was fun for the vast majority of it. My main gripe with it comes from the echoes there are a lot of them and most of them are completely useless (like a useless sign post with nothing on it what's the point?), they often felt redundant and pointless. I often felt like I wasn't doing what the game was expecting me to do or even understood what the game wanted me to do, like in the Orddin volcano it took Igor telling me that you could glide with the mechanical crow to realize what the game was expecting me to do in the volcano well after I had finished the dungeon. I mostly used the water cube for everything, puzzle? Water cube! Exploration? Water cube!

Story wise it was good, no "smart character" doing something stupid for plot progression, the characters were good they all hade personalities and were memorable even side characters. And the finally boss was EXCELLENT! I usually hate the final boss in zelda games, they're usually more frustrating than anything else but Null was actually fun! The second fase was unique and fighting alongside Link was cool. Sure I used only two echoes in the fight the lynel and chompfin but the fact the it was a simple fight was very much to it's benefit.

And to finish I loved that they brought back the river zoras and deku scrubs ( the dekus are my favorite race in the whole franchise) and Tri was very nice if a little repetitive (I could of done without the same text box at the start of every rift).

I have finally finished Dark Prince (there might be some post game content left but I can't find it) and my opinion on the story did not change it wasn't particularly good and even bad at time. But I did mention challenge runs because I was doing a slime only run and considering the fact that there is 500 monsters available that was probably the only way I was going to make any progress but it done now and here's the team.

I have access to higher rank monsters but theis are the ones I decided to go with, the reserve team are side projects that weren't excellent. The spark system was a pain in the ass at time resetting for HOURS just to not even get the one I wanted 😒. I might do another challenge run soon but I haven't decided yet.

I had a weird dream today, it's weird because it's a dream that was doing a call back to another dream I had many years ago it was about a game (that doesn't exist) on the DSI of all consoles, the game it self was a bit weird it was tow distinct game in one but intertwined where you play tow guys trying to find out what's happened. One was a pipe maze puzzle game with brightly-colored balls that came in three sizes normal big and small, the big ones are slow but could be separated int three smal ones, you have to navigate all of your balls to the end of the maze without having any of them die you have to restart that was an hacking minigame, and the game has a nice synth electro kind music. And the second part of the game is an horror stealth game where you play as an anthropomorphic dog like creature, the objective of those sections is to explore a big building in the dark to find valves and close them all while avoiding other creatures of the same species that are like zombies(?) that don't see but hear you, and ther not really any music just an eiry droning ambience and the quiet sounds of the enemies.

The call back part was that the first dream was a view from the perspective of the characters in the game and the one today was of my cousin playing the game, which is funny because I know for a fact that he would not like a game like that, asking him to do puzzles like he would have the patience gor that he doesn't have that patience to finish his brain rot videos so puzzles AND stealth that would never happen lol.

For the past tow weeks I've been playing Dragon Quest Monsters, specifically two different ones from that series, Joker 2 and Dark Prince, other than core mechanics they are very different.

Dark Prince changed a lot of things for good and for bad, Talent and attributes have changed quite a bit, attributes have been considerably reduced in variations, synthesis has been improved in some ways like a search system from family and rank wich is very nice but you can no longer mix two Monster of the same family to make a new one of the same family it will just result in one of the parents expected for specific mixes(wich is annoying for challenge runs like slime only for example).

The gimmick of this entry is seasons, it's more interesting than just a day night cycle but also more annoying and they knew that so they gave you the pass season powder which skip a season, monster and obstacles are season dependent.

The leveling is so much better in this game than it was before were you had to farme metal slimes wich was so long and boring because regular monsters gave you so little EXP.

The story Joker's wasn't the best to begin with but Prince's is bad, the dissonance between what you do and what the cutscenes tell you the main character is doing are jarring most things are done off screen, example: "we need to stop them let's go!" Cut to another character later "He's gone too far I need to stop him." That was a none spoiler version of an actual cutscene in the game we are TOLD that he's been doing horrible things never once do we SEE any of it, Rose in cutscenes is begging him to stop what he's doing and immediately after act like everything is alright and like he's not done a single bad thing which in game he hasn't he always helps everyone he encounter. He's very against stealing but murder that's just fine, allegedly again since we never SEE him doing any of that. So story bad gameplay good.

Here is the challenge team now (I do count on evolving Janette but the item is only available on victory road or post game), the challenge is to use "mediocre" pokemon so moste of them have a base stat of under 500 except for Tectonic and Janette. Legit the two MVP's of the team are Steella and Gale, steel and bug type in gen 4 is so good despite the fact that she learn no bug move like at all.

This fucker wasted ALL my pokeballs all of them! I wasn't even going to use this idiot, I was catching it because it's one of the rarer honey pokemon but I guess Mister is too good for my mediocre team eh.

I went to the Nature expo in Montréal today and got many thing but this one was the most personal one. I'm not a big fan of Psyduck but it was my grandma's favorite pokemon, orange and red were colors I associated with her and willow were our favorite tree, so when I saw it it made me think of her and practically started crying. So thanks to Mineral Charm they were very nice.

Ill never be over champions

The continuation of my MQ playthrough.

I don't have much to say about the last two child dungeons, but here it goes.

DC was interesting by the fact that it kept the bomb bag as the last thing you get in the dungeon, making you have to figure out where you're supposed to go with limited flora bomb that are there. I like the reroute essentially making you go through the dungeon in reverse it's simple but effective at making the dungeons feel new.

JB has cow switches and the increase in enemies make the place feel extra hostile. Ruto is used once to open a door and that's it she was relegated to a glorified key.

They really increased the difficulty at getting golden skulltula in dungeons which reinforce my opinion that that quest is not worth finishing just for rupees.

So far the child section is fun but I know I will have a bad time in the forest temple, I already don't like it normally and the fact that I never went farther than it in MQ before tell me that it's not going to be fun.

Until nex time!

I've decided to replay through OoT MQ since I never finished it the farthest I've go was the forest temple.

So far I finished DT, and the hardest thing to get used to is the mirrored map. The new puzzles are nice and add enough difficulty that the double damage is completely unnecessary and cheap, double damage is the cheapest way to make a hard mode in any game. The complete reroute of the dungeon is fun, and like every other time I played MQ the water room had me confused for too long 😐 (I always forget that the water is already lowered lol), the fact that Navi still give you a tutorial for doors but say nothing about the switches is kinda funny. Gomah was as easy as always, I don't even think she had more healt than usual.

I'll make little updates as I go.

I find it kinda funny that I started a new Pokémon sword save file just so that I could use Vanilluxe in a playthrough that wasn't at the very end of it and ended up making a gen 5 team (4 out of the 6 are gen 5) and that the only three stage mon is the little ice-cream dude the rest are two stages. It's not a fantastic team but I love them, Sudowoodo Bisharp Galvantula Garbodor Vanilluxe Noivern, I went with no gen 8 mons in gen 8 lol.
