Diablo 4 caught my eye as soon as it dropped and ended up being my first-ever delve into Blizzard's long-standing RPG series.

     Starfield is too polished, I miss Skyrim and Fallout's bugs

Starfield surprised me. After Oblivion, Fallout 3, The Elder Scrolls Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 4, I expected the new version of Bethesda's Creation Engine to be, somehow, buggier. The bugs, for me, have become a fundamental part of the Bethesda RPG experience - if the studio makes a new engine, in the same way it allows for better graphics, sound, animations, and all that other stuff, it should also come with better bugs. Glitches in Bethesda's games - and FNV, which uses Bethesda's game-making tech - transcend issues of annoyance or irritation. They're so consistent and so vivid and unique, that they stop being flaws. It's like the scratching on vinyl, the artifacting on VHS.

     Assassin's Creed Mirage enigma locations, solutions and rewards

What are the solutions to the Assassin's Creed Mirage enigmas? There are many secrets lining the streets of Baghdad - secret orders, a gang of extremely mean soldiers for hire, and even some books that somehow got lost. None of these are as mysterious as the enigmas, though. These are collectibles that hint at a location on the map where you can find some loot - these clues can be a child's drawing, a poem, or sometimes just the ramblings of a madman.

It's safe to say that Assassin's Creed Mirage is a return to form for a series that had perhaps lost its way, with sprawling maps and endless icons giving way to a more focused, and streamlined experience (our Assassin's Creed Mirage review goes into way more detail about this). One collectible that really fried our brains in the adventure game this time around, were the AC Mirage enigmas. The cosmetic rewards are worth the time and effort that goes into this treasure hunt, but just in case you want to fast-track to the goodies, we've put the legwork in for you and found every single enigma in Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Brian Jacques' Redwall books were my greatest obsession between the ages of approximately eight and 12-years-old. They're sort of The Lord of the Rings, but with talking woodlands animals, and their appeal for me consisted of three things 1) comedy British accents, 2) big fights, and 3) big feasts. I couldn't get enough, to the point that I tried to have one of my unborn siblings named after a badger warcry from the novel Salamandastron.

Fast-forward to 2023, and Oregon-based Soma Games are about to release a Redwall videogame, titled The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology. Will it measure up to my childhood fantasies about acorn pancakes slathered with gorseflower honey, or forest logboat armadas of squabbling guerilla shrews? Probably not, but what can?

Hiroyuki Kobayashi New Game

New information has been revealed regarding Hiroyuki Kobayashi's current video game project in the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu. His new game will be a single-player 3D action RPG for home consoles. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

Kobayashi's new game will not be as difficult as his previous work, which challenged players with their characters facing death repeatedly. The new action RPG will feature jobs that you can complete, as well as a battle system where you can take advantage of an enemy's weaknesses to easily defeat them. Currently, the main outline of the game's world has already been decided on. A test version of the RPG will be completed by spring of next year, and an announcement about the game will be made following that. It will take two or three years before the project is completed.

Kobayashi was a veteran producer at Capcom for 27 years and now works for NetEase to lead the game studio GPTRACK50. He is well known for producing both the Devil May Cry series as well as the Sengoku Basara series of games.

It was revealed in the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu that producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi's new game is a single-player 3D action RPG. It will remain in development for two or three more years.

Yoko Taro Yusuke Shiokawa Discussion

Japanese game developers Yoko Taro and Yusuke Shiokawa met for a Denfaminicogamer discussion to attempt to answer the question, "What should creators do when they get flamed on the internet?" Taro, best known for his work as the director of the 2017 action RPG NieR: Automata, said it may be too late for Shiokawa, the former creative director of the massive mobile game Fate/Grand Order. He also advised becoming the Joker in response to such reactions. [Thanks, Denfaminicogamer!]

Before Shiokawa left the company Delightworks in 2022, there were a few instances in which the words he posted on social media were skewed and misunderstood. When he asked Taro for advice on being liked by the general public and avoiding his words being taken out of context, Taro came to the conclusion that it may be simply impossible.

Here is Yoko Taro's exact response from the Denfaminicogamer discussion:

This person is no good, and will never get better. Mr. Shiokawa is sincere about making games, but his word choice is overwhelmingly bad.

Shiokawa noted he long accepted the idea that getting flamed online is part of his job. Though it has been happening more as he transitioned to being an independent producer, he said, "I'm not going to do anything about it."

Taro then brought up the notion that in a large pool of people that engage with a creator's posts, only a small fraction of them might go to the extreme of attacking them. Even still, that number can add up proportionally. Taro called this a "tax on fame."

Taro then recommended doing what he often does, which is muting users that bother him. He also thought it would be helpful to have an assistant that could moderate posts and replies, since it can be too much for one person to bear.

Taro and Shiokawa also came to the agreement that, as a creator, it is better to be flamed than to not be talked about at all. Specifically, Shiokawa said, "Indifference is the scariest thing." Taro concurred, "Getting flamed is a luxurious problem… there are not many people who are famous enough to get flamed."

Taro and Shiokawa ended their discussion by concluding that Shiokawa's bad reputation would likely never disappear in today's day and age of social media and the internet.

It is then that Yoko Taro said in the Denfaminicogamer interview:

I think the only way forward is to go to the extreme of being no good, like the Joker from Batman. That is my advice. Become the Joker.

Shiokawa agreed that he should embrace the darkness and not hide his faults.

Fate/Grand Order is available for mobile devices. Yoko Taro's most recent game is 404 Game Re:setwhich is on mobile devices in Japan.

murayaki villain

A new strategy and simulation game where players get to be a demon king Murayaki Villain appeared on Steam. The game will come out some time in Fall or Winter 2024, though you can check out some early information on it via its store page. It is a new female-oriented SLG (strategy and logistics game) in which you play as a demon king who attempts to conquer the world. Developer and publisher ALENISM made the game using Wolf RPG Editor, and it is a simulation game in which you raise your demon king army. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

You play as the descendant of a demon king that a hero defeated in the past, and you're trying to make a great and powerful demon army that will eventually destroy all of humanity. You can get money through attacking villages and gaining items by robbing corpses. As you do so, you accumulate karma, which will become the root of your power. Other characters include Clarity, Vivian, Memel, and Solo, who are "useless" monsters who survived the previous war and currently serve under you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYueM6orUHE

As a note, there is no English support for Murayaki Villain so far. It also has an Mature rating due to some sexual content and general mature content.

Murayaki Villain will come out in Fall or Winter 2024 for Windows PC. You can wishlist the game on Steam. However, there is no English support as of the time of writing.

Tsunanori Mido Was the First SaGa Emerald Beyond Character Created

Square Enix released an official interview with SaGa General Director and SaGa Emerald Beyond Director Akitoshi Kawazu and SaGa Localization Director Neil Broadley about the new game. In particular, it goes over its cast and gameplay. When discussing the foundation for it, Kawazu talked about the SaGa Emerald Beyond character creation process and noted Tsunanori Mido was the first hero created.

Back when Square Enix first announced SaGa Emerald Beyond at the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, it revealed we will follow six folks on their journey. These are Ameya the witch, Bonnie the cop, Diva No.5 the songstress mech, Formina the cop, Siugnas the Dismal King, and Tsunanori Mido the Kugutsu Puppetmaster. Kawazu explained in the interview that all of these characters can see something called the emerald vision. He noted he made Mido first, then built up others around him to add new elements. 

Here's Kawazu's exact statement:

We had the idea that the protagonists would have been born with the innate ability to see the emerald vision - that was the starting point. But I'd also been wanting to tell a story that draws more heavily from ancient and classical Japanese concepts of fantasy narratives.

And so, somewhat unusually for me, I created Tsunanori Mido, the more "Japanese" protagonist first. From there, I expanded out and tried to think of other protagonists who would bring something different to the table.

Kawazu to Square Enix

Kawazu also brought up after that how players will choose which worlds they go to with each SaGa Emerald Beyond character, as well as how that will shape the story. Specifically, he noted, "Each protagonist has a different motivation for setting out on their adventure, but the one thing I'm conscious of at all times is to guide the narrative in such a way that any situation can be approached in a positive way"

SaGa Emerald Beyond is in development and will head to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices sometime in 2024.

Luffy One Piece Balloon Will Be in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Macy's announced the 2023 Thanksgiving Day Parade will include a One Piece balloon of Luffy for the first time. It also included an initial rendering of how it will look. This will be a chibi version of Luffy that looks like he is about to use his Gum-Gum abilities to attack.

First, here's a better look at the float from the Toei Animation social media account. It appears he's about to use Gum-Gum Pistol in the balloon's design. 

https://twitter.com/ToeiAnimation/status/1709591713260396749

Luffy and One Piece won't be the only anime and game character represented in this year's parade. The official site already confirmed some of the returning designs. The Pikachu and Eevee balloon that debuted in 2021 will be back. Goku from Dragon Ball Super will return. 

Two other new balloons were confirmed. Cool Cats' Blue Cat and Chugs and Peanuts' Beagle Scout Snoopy will debut in 2023.

Season 1 One Piece live-action show is on Netflix, with season 2 in development. The anime is streaming on both Crunchyroll and Netflix. Viz Media handles the manga volumes outside Japan. People can see the One Piece Luffy balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 23, 2023, though it's uncertain exactly what time he will appear during the broadcast of the event.

     Ffxiv: How To Get Apocryphal Bahamut MountWith 6.5 the last trial of Endwalker is out, and with that means the completion of the Endwalker Trial mounts. What is the bonus mount, and how do you get it? Here's how to get the Apocryphal Bahamut mount in FFXIV. Apocryphal Bahamut- The Lynx bonus mount guide For those unaware, every expansion there is a mechanic where the Extreme version of every trial drops a variant of a themed mount. Get all of those mounts on a single character, and you'll unlock a sidequest to get one more mount for your troubles.
