Hush little baby, don’t say a word. Your brave knights gonna whack you a mocking bird. And if that mocking bird don’t croak, brave knight’s gonna climb up a giant oak. And when that brave knight falls head-first, baby’d better catch or his head will burst…
Some say that the unexamined life is not worth living, but Level-5 says nay to that. This fantastic life is perfect and happy, and closer examination will only bring out the flaws. So don’t pick nits and don’t pry with your eyes, because then you might ruin the game’s surprise.
The first few drafts of this review did not meet the alchemist’s exacting standards, and were sacrificed in the name of “quality control.” After much fiddling with the recipe proportions, she’s completely satisfied. Hopefully the delay won’t affect her payment.
For the first month’s installment in Gaijin’s “Year of Gust,” we turn to the origins of the company’s flagship series. The atelier’s open, and it’s time we got to know Marie a little better.
‘Twas the dark of the moon on the 3rd of June with a wagon hauling logs, an eggplant thing with muffler on, and a blue slime in the cogs. We were loaded for bear on the high road, about a mile out of Moonbrooke Town. I said, “Hey Big Frank, this here’s the Tank, and we’re about to flame the Dragon Lord down.” Cause we’ve got a little ol’ caravan rolling through the night. We’ve got a little ol’ caravan, ain’t she a beautiful sight. Come on and join our caravan; ain’t nothing going to get in our way. We’re gonna roll this truckin’ caravan across to Alefgard.
Knights are cool. Dragons are cooler. Putting the two together is often a recipe for awesomeness. With such a winning combination, will the results be any less than glorious? It all depends on what you think about reading, I suppose.
Hark, what flame against starlit backdrop breaks? It is the dragon’s, and it burns for thee, for me, and for all other creatures under heaven’s firmament. For in sooth, is there aught in Gransys that does not fear fire?
If you like breaking into other people’s houses and breaking their pottery, then this is not a game for you. Folk in the “real RPG world” of Moon don’t take kindly to those sorts of heroic shenanigans.

In this world of strife, misery, and unhappiness, a Pom needs a place where everybody knows its name. Where they’re always glad it came. Will foreign players find themselves as welcome in this game? They will if they like saccharine cuteness.
There is more to the world than what you see. There is truth out there that cannot be believed. Here’s a game that wants the world to know, we are not alone. And what a weird world it is.
There was once a wonderful time, long ago, when a console had so many RPG titles that one couldn’t keep track of them all. So many games both good and bad fell through the cracks. So which one is this?
Left a good home in the forest
Working for the fairies every night and day
And I never lost one moment of sleeping
Worrying ’bout the way things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning,
Alchemy fires burning,
And we’re rolling, rolling,
Rolling in a wagon.
Seriously, I would have killed for a part-time job like this one in high school.
