pokemon black sword and bright shield

@Felthry JFC I'm so glad i got this
This is my favorite rpg lol

@Oneironott it's probably one of the best ever made so i don't blame you for having it as a favorite

@Felthry I have a lot of fond memories with that game, particularly of having a really hard time around the beginning-middle of the game when you fight Luca. I tried to beat that battle sooo much that I thought it must be the end of the game XD

@Oneironott The whole thing with luca is possibly the best thing in a video game--I *love* how they took the "omnicidal burn-it-all villain" (which is not a very good sort of bad guy) and had him get offed pretty early to be replaced with a *much* better villain whose motives and thoughts you can actually understand

@Felthry Luca's backstory is so tragic though, albeit not terribly explained. I really liked Luca as a terrifying fairly realistic depiction of war and tragedy begetting more war and tragedy, but I always thought his character maybe hit so hard -because- he is replaced by someone whose motivations are so much greyer (and closer to the main character)

@Oneironott Perhaps we missed the details of his backstory.

@Felthry Apparently it's not in the game, but his family was basically all slaughtered and he grew up horribly and that's how he turned out the way he did, in a kind of "far beyond redemption" kind of way

@Felthry Probably don't quote me on it but I recall someone discussing it being in side material years ago
