Something feels off now that NYT has touched it. The daily words don't feel as organic or is it just me

playing this game for the first time in the year of our lord 2023 is incredibly interesting because while the dialogue is sometimes dated + this game does not value your time, it's a quick enjoyable read. Reminds me a little of the pandemic and how digital bonds were so important back then. kudos for being ahead of the times

Got it as a gift many years ago, and ever since then all I've done in this game is ski up and down the mountains, over and over... it's very soothing, somehow. a simple game from my childhood but very relaxing nonetheless

until they add four pngs of Forde from the hit game Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones for the game boy advance to this game I am not listing this game in my backloggd it is just that bad
I can see why people don't like this game, but as of writing this right now i currently have covid and it was nice to sit down with a fun game that was easy to follow the plot of and complete when feeling pretty sick. music is jamming as always for falcom & what little screentime the characters get i thought they were charming. could be the sickness talking but this game deserves a little more credit

Unserious review: please stop praying for grandpa. he’s getting too powerful. He just killed a sage and a hydra and tempus can’t stop him
Serious review:
Finished in about two hours :)
Pros:
- Great dialogue for Bettel in particular. Had a big dumb smile on my face every time he opened his mouth
- Act 3 was great fun juking the alligators with Axel and getting hat trick for Bettel
- I keep talking about him but there were some real wholesome CGs for Bettel and Phantom :)
- Really, really liked the artist for Act 5 and Act 7, very happy that there are credits for the writers and artists at the beginning of each act
- Also, really liked Flayon’s portrait artist :)
- Lots of little secrets, like stumbling on a “check” dialogue box in the secret ending and finding a corruption record secret item
Cons:
- Ran very slowly on my computer but this is probably just a personal issue
- Found the mouse to be more responsive than the keyboard when moving around the map (mouse usage had some issues/glitches but developer says not to use the mouse so that is not an issue on the developer)
- Couple other glitches, I occasionally had to switch between the “a” and “b” buttons and the mouse to progress dialogue, I also Do Not Know where the “mask” item for Axel went after we defeated the alligators. Bettel got it put into his inventory when it dropped but it was gone the next chapter
- Little bit too easy! Got a laugh out of the final boss saying “time for round two” and then Altare dealt 99 points of damage to him, downing him instantly

ALL THAT SAID this game is completely available for free and it was a good way to spend my morning, I think it worth checking out for someone new to strategy games especially

Beautiful presentation and beautiful prose. It is rare to read anything written in second person, especially second person handled so well. I wish this level of style was used elsewhere though...

The repetition of “you sowed your own fate” really means nothing at all when there aren’t any choices I can make as the player to alter fate, aside from picking a route. All the routes including the true end, ultimately, are the same (meet one lonely lesbian who traps you somewhere and kills you), so I can’t help but feel that this message is at odds with the rest of the storytelling. Oh well! Can’t really go wrong with a cute mermaid girl.

Mean Girls/Heathers for people who are into visual novels (despite what the developer claims about this being an anti-vn). Forgot this is just how people spoke back then but still would have ate this up in my freshman year of high school. Ate it up in the year of 2023 regardless. Voice acting has no right being this good?!
playing this was a mistake but i was glued to the game the entire time
something I love about games from the 90s-early 2000s is getting to watch many different people learn how to use and grow with a brand new medium of entertainment. Berwick Saga is a game I truly felt was 15 or so years in the making. Is it a flawed experience? absolutely, but it is still an experience truly worth your time and worth the years that has led to its creation
what the fuck was that ending. my heart is pounding right now

I could be saying this because I started to listen to linkin park when I was 11 and it altered my brain chemistry permanently, but I don't mind the tightfisted, blatantly edgy prose... once you start reading between the lines here, there's something genuinely engaging and unique that mainline fire emblem has not touched before or since and I think it's wonderful.
It really doesn't matter to me how "good" or how "bad" the gameplay is, it's a technical marvel for its time and I appreciate it regardless. The Last Promise is just something special and it's something I would point in the direction of fire emblem fans looking for something more
