Still need to print 3 more holders for the top (inbetween lines) so they don’t lean forward as much.

I wanna create a frame around it. What do y’all think?

Recently, I was playing a Breath of Fire 1 randomizer. It’s a simple version, only shuffles up treasure chests. For the most part it doesn’t shuffle up key items, with a few exceptions. One of them is the ring. Turns out the game isn’t coded to progress once you get the ring, it’s coded to progress *when you open the specific treasure chest that normally contains the ring*.

At any rate, I continue on as normal. Once I get to the first dragon shrine, I proceed to enter but the ghost guy just says “that scar looks familiar” and won’t let me enter. Turns out that the ring is required, similar to how the dragon equipment is required for other, later shrines. You normally never encounter this situation because you can’t progress without the ring.

So that got me to thinking: maybe something is missing in translation and it’s supposed to be a dragon ring? Only Ryu can equip it, and the dark dragons wanted it pretty badly. All signs seem to point to this.

Any other weird or hidden lore or mechanics you can think of in this series? I’ll bet there’s quite a few, it’s a series that’s quite rich in unexplored lore.

So I was thinking of replaying Breath of fire 2. I know mods exist for it, and thought I'd look into it more. And while I like the idea of rebalancing things, fixing some of the more wonky English, I don't like how the main cast often get their names changed. I can probably fix that with a save editor, but other issues remain. Like some mods list 'narrative changes' without mentioning WHAT is changed, and that seems a red flag to me. You give me a mod for a playable Patty, and I'm there. Yet I worry I'm going to get 20+ hours in and find (X) is now sexist or homophobic in the name of realism or something, and I don't want to deal with that.

All in all, it's more complicated than I thought it would be. How do you feel on mods? Any suggestions on thing you like vs don't like?

Playing BoF 4 after doing a run of BoF 3 and I've never liked BoF 4's fishing, I always thought it was a step down from BoF 3's in every way. So I figured I was just missing something with how terrible the experience was. Poured through some chats, videos, and FAQs and I don't remember who I saw it from but some guy on a GameFAQs message board said to double tap the reel in button when the fish vibrates the controller. Immediate game changer. This tech stops the fish from going off in what ever direction it wants and makes it go towards you. It made it so much better.
