Final Fantasy XI Message board post outlining the March Updates reads:
"Battle-related
As part of the first round of updates to the Trust magic system, alter egos' basic stats can now be upgraded with alter ego points.
Unlocking alter ego points
Once you have met the requirements listed below, speak to Syndella in Ru'Lude Gardens (H-5) to obtain the "cipher bracelet" key item and unlock the ability to earn alter ego points."
FFXI says what if XIV's trust NPCs could go with you anywhere not just dungeons and you get to call them up like its .hack and as of today you get to give them upgrade points as a treat for being the best party roster in a Final Fantasy

I think my pick would be The Hokkaido Serial Murder Case remake. This game is only for weird ADV sickos but I think it is great little remake that does a surprisingly good job of making you feel nostalgic for the original even if you didn't grow up playing it.

Render of Crymaria Levin from Sega's Valkyria Chronicles 4
#ValkyriaChronicles #VC4
8 - Crymaria Levin
Some of the most memorably brutal encounters in the entire series, she's an absolute beast. Ymmv on her arc but Crymaria/Walz is a hell of a drug and puts her above Selvaria for me.
God bless Raita, you madman.

PSO Episode III
The RNG is punishing and can grind combat to a halt but the deck-building and combat is so satisfying, the environments are gorgeous, and the way story progress is treated as a bonus for playing situation-relevant characters is novel and cool

7 - Romeo Guildenstern
Absolute bastard and one half of the hottest 32-bit couple to ever do it. I think he's under-represented on RPG antagonist lists because most people don't get far enough in Vagrant Story to see his whole deal.
An all-timer with the best name and some of the best lines to match

Fun Napple fact!
The boss's scream in Red and Gold is a stock sound effect 'Screams 2 Woman Single PE133601' from the sound library The Premiere Edition Volume 1 which was produced by The Hollywood Edge back in the 1990s.

Screenshot from the video game Persona 4. In the halls of Yasogami High, the protagonist talks to a male student labeled "Stylish student". His dialogue window reads:
"Hanging out with women, going on dates with them, that's fine. Killing them? Not so much."
happy international women's day

I'm begging people to stop taking this seriously... It's a marketing stunt AND a terrible test.
There's no "lesson" here besides how even industry people seem to have little understanding of Manic Mansion, HowLongToBeat, or the Adventure game genre in general.

Totally. At stake here is the conflict between games as “content” (retrogressive behaviorist bullshit) and recognizing context. The entire notion of “design” is saddled with so much fucked ideological baggage, be careful out there folks.
