Fire Emblem x Gilmore Girls, you say? OK, we didn't realise we needed this, and it has to rank as one of the most inventive mods we've seen in a while.
Dicey Dungeons artist Marlowe Dobbe – after binge-watching the American comedy series – decided to blend it with Intelligent Systems' tactical RPG classic as a Christmas present to her boyfriend.
The end result is an hour-long mod of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones which is surprisingly well-designed and very funny – more so if you're familiar with the TV series, but it's by no means essential that you've consumed its 150+ episodes. You can download the patch file here if you want to give it a spin.
Which JRPG / TV show fusion would you like to see next? Shining Force x Doogie Howser, M.D.? Final Fantasy Tactics x Ally McBeal? Sex in the City x Disgaea?

Was just scrolling through, saw the image and thought that looks like Luke from Gilmore Girls. There's no way anything to do with Gilmore Girls would be popping up on Nintendo Life though... oh wait!
I don't really mess around with emulation, but this is very tempting.
One of the worst shows of all time (imho obviously, so nobody go crying about it). I have a hard time suspending my disbelief when there are such unrealistic speech patterns.
Same reason why Shakespeare being done by bad actors is impossible for me to enjoy, whereas when done by people who make it sound conversational make it feel realistic and relatable.
My missus is a huge fan of The Gilmore Girls, it still wouldn't tempt her to play Fire Emblem though.
Alley McBeal is a good shout, there was a certain fantasy element to the show that can fit into a RPG.

Disgaea x The Office, yeah baby.
Seriously bizarre. I saw the achievements for this on RetroAchievements a few days ago and instantly downloaded it though, Gilmore Girls was a big part of my childhood!
Mortal Kombat x Friends
Hope the ending to the game is better than the series
How could it be very funny or good in any way, shape or form if it even vaguely resembles The Gilmore Girls show? That series is pure garbage. Human waste. Trash.
@aznable The only show in history to run into a length problem and to solve it, instead of rewriting the script, pushing story to the next episode, editing out unimportant scenes.. they tell the actors to just say their lines twice as fast. Couldn't possibly run into any problems with that...
@nhSnork "Disgaea x The Office"
I'm throwing money at the screen... BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING!
@gaga64 “finish him” “no you can’t - we were on a break!”
This is amazing! Gilmore Girls is apparently trendy to hate, which is a shame.
1st season is one of the finest written pieces of media ever. 2nd-3rd seasons are almost as good, but as soon as Rory goes off to college the show drops off unfortunately. The magic of the show absolutely requires Rory x Lorelai as a unit. Thankfully, fans still have a remarkable 60~ episodes of pre-college Gilmore Girls to enjoy.
This is, uh, weird.
I really like Gilmore Girls — with closed captioning, of course. Too bad they never propertly wrapped it up. Final season's OK, but it's got too much cheese. The showrunner's departure is obvious. She did come back for that Netflix four-parter, but I wasn't wild about it. The spark was gone.
Gilmore Girls is like Twin Peaks without any of the stuff that makes Twin Peaks interesting.
@nhSnork Persona x JoJo
Here's a fun stream of it if anyone is interested. It's possibly even more ridiculous than you would expect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8bo4FT3voA
@Ulysses my GF used to watch it all the time. It really has an excellent cast, very well written. I have not watched a whole season, but have seen several episodes across most, if not all seasons.
@gaga64 Rachel snapping Ross in half. NOW YOU'RE ON A BREAK!!
@StuTwo you beat me to it! xD
People can hate on the Gilmore Girls all they want. It's relatable, and yes some people actually talk that fast (part of why I think it's relatable! 😂)
Breath of the Wild x Dawson's Creek
