I sometimes still hum the opening theme to Silver Star Story from my time playing the OG on PSX when it released. The game is just wonderful, hopeful, and fun. Enjoy!

No, I’m replaying 8 via the mobile remaster right now and that is what you can do and how the game essentially explains why it happens. It only works with Squall and Seifer as well.

Nice! Glad to hear that you are enjoying it, happy that the recommendation worked for you! Agreed about the armor. I did miss that. I did enjoy the weapon level ups and finding rings that worked well together. It was a good way to scratch the first person dungeon crawler itch.

No, not at all. She does have some interesting faces while she is laying around at peace. The rescue I got her from told me she was a part of a feral cat colony living on the streets, so while I think she could fight with the best of them; she is a lover at heart.

I also crave a new Kings Field! Some of my favorite childhood games.

Have you heard of Lunacid? Indie PC game that fully released this year by the developer behind Lost in Vivo. It’s absolutely crammed full with the legacy of Kings Field. First person dungeon crawl with magic rings to equip (Eternal Ring!) and a weapon stamina build up mechanic like KF. A TON of hidden secrets behind fake walls. Very obscure story that you piece together by the few characters in the game and environmental story telling.

I wouldn’t call it a perfect Kings Field clone, but it sure scratched the itch. It’s on Steam for probably 15-20 usd.
