Sorcerers breaking spacetime via puzzle games for a quick MP refill.

Like, she's extremely unexpressed by his evil villain dungeon of despair and just personally annoyed he went for a cheap shot.

No worries tho, so much of the franchise is hard to access, it's easy to get these impressions off word of mouth, ahaha.
My favorite example: In Madou 1-2-3 (her very first appearance) Arle is a lot more insulted by the fact that Schezo attacked her off-guard than that he wants to steal her magic.

Eh, not really accurate, Arle's demeanor has never super changed, she underreacts to real threats and overreacts to mild slights. It's a trait of hers.

According to the games' writer, Ess has PTSD and is actually having an actual panic attack here, it just looks ridiculous to Ringo because she has no context for it-

Agreed 100%
I think Puyo is prime proof that a charming world and characters do a LOT of a game like this and ditching that was a huge mistake on Nintendo's part.

And I mean, ditched them worldwide, Japan included. Nowadays, the only remaining thing is that Lipp's weapon, her wand, is still an item in Super Smash Bros... it's pretty depressing.
Those games had so much potential and personality and Nintendo just... didn't care.

I think the biggest thing is that the games originally had a world and their own characters. The setting was the fairy realm and the protagonist was Lipp, Princess of Fairies. Not only did the games never make it over with the characters and story unchanged, at some point Nintendo just ditched them.

Panel de Pon (Puzzle League's original title, before it got reskinned in localization) is a series Nintendo really just sent out to die. It's such an insane shame. They are sitting on this amazing comp action puzzle game and don't do anything with it.

Yeah, it's gonna sell well with the casual audience getting into the series for the first time, but it's sooo unfriendly to existing fans...
