30 years ago, Shining Force on the SEGA Genesis set the bar for me. Deep systems, clean pacing, real tactical weight. It made me a lifelong strategy RPG fan.
Plenty of good games followed. Persona included. None of them ever felt like Shining Force.
Until Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga.
This is the closest thing to a modern Shining Force. It is not a grind-first RPG. Positioning matters. Formation matters. You decide whether to press forward or bait the enemy into a bad engagement. The map actually matters.
The art style lands exactly where it should. Clearly 16-bit inspired, but far more detailed. Strong character portraits. Strong battlefield readability. The music does its job without getting in the way.
It runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck. Low overhead. Long battery life. Perfect for short sessions in a coffee shop or long stretches on the couch. It feels designed for handheld play, even if it was not.
A genuinely great strategy RPG. One of the best in the genre. -

@Migueldeicaza I was surprised to learn it's the highest earning film Pitt has made. I don't think it's his best but it's probably in the top five. Very entertaining, a classic sort of film. A little long, but good pacing, anyway. And, in a world where nearly all blockbusters are made for children, it's refreshing to see a big action movie not based on a comic book.

Still stick with Pino? Give LogTape a try!

@aeva The traditional chorus effect is sound + sound * vibrato. I always thought it was a sine wave vibrato, but others in this thread seem to be suggesting saw wave.
If the vibrato is balanced and starts with taking the pitch lower you’ll never need samples from the future. Right when the vibrato cursor catches up to the present, it’s time to get behind again.
So overall the formula is out[x] = in[x] + in[x + offset] where offset is a sine wave that starts at 0 and goes to -1 and back to 0.

@epilanthanomai from reading the article it sounds like a saw wave + some noise, a feedback loop, and a lowpass filter might be able to produce something basic?

@aeva saw wave through a formant filter: a two (or more) pole resonant low pass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formant#Formant_plots
