Chrono Trigger and both Golden Sun games back to back. I do all of those every few years. Love'em to death.
I'm looking forward to trying out FF9 next. Gonna take a bit of a break, as 45 hours of a FF game are enough for me for the next month or two. I've been going through all the mainline Zelda games as well, just reached Ocarina of Time. So I'll be continuing that until I feel a hankering to go back to FF.
Played and beat Final Fantasy 8 for the first time. Bit of an unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed everything about it more than FF7 (which i also played for the first time a few months ago). As a long time JRPG player, the mechanics were really interesting and fresh. I liked the majority of characters more as well. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm coming to these games 20+ years later and don't have the nostalgia for them - I'm not sure. I can definitely see why people loved FF7, though I'm not one of them.
I'd love anybodies thoughts on this and their opinions on the two games!
Yea, I'm not going to give them any money. Fuck'em.
I'm currently going through every (mainline) Zelda game and replaying them. Took a bit of a break at Links Awakening, but I'd have to say my favourite 2D Zelda are Seasons/Ages, and my favourite 3D is Majora's Mask.
Something about the worlds in those games that really draws me in.
I've only played FF7 for the first time recently. I'm in the process of playing FF8 right now and honestly, I care about the story and characters more in the latter. I don't know if it's an age thing, or having been spoiled for so long on FF7 plot beats but not FF8, or what. 8 seems to be striking more chords for me.
I've not tried it, but I'm sure if you can connect a PS5 controller, you can use your PS4 controller. Look it up and give it a shot!
They sold to Full Screen, who much later sold to WB. The problem with selling yourself to a larger, public company.
Unfortunate, you've missed a great crew that found great chemistry after the pandemic.
Interesting perspective. I thought it was his most obnoxious film to date. It was a movie that insisted upon itself and quite frankly bored and confused me. It was like no one said no to Anderson to reign him in at all.
I'll be house sitting for 2 weeks away from my normal stuff, so I'll probably dip into game pass and play it then.
I just finished OG Final Fantasy 7 for the first time. It has definitely aged, but it was quite fun and I can see why it's held such high acclaim. The controls were frustrating sometimes and it obviously doesn't look the best now, but I enjoyed my time with it. It's actually the first FF I've been able to beat. I've tried a few of the previous pixel entries, couldn't get through them.
I'll probably take a break this month and play Persona 3 Reload next month.
I got a retroid pocket 3+ for Christmas. Loaded it up with JRPGs, but this list seems like some fun games to play when I finish one so I don't burn out on that genre. Thanks a lot!
That's just an excuse. WB choose when to activate the servers. They could have easily put them online for reviewers.
Surprised this hasn't been said more in this thread, to be honest. All it seems to be is Breath of the Wild and Soulslikes.
I've tried 3 different Monster Hunter games, I've really tried to see what people enjoy about them. But the controls are so awful, the loop is tedious, and I could never find anything good to say about them. This series truly confuses me.
Pretty sure they've stated Zelda games will lean closer to the two recent entries going forward, so those of us who think like this really can only cross our fingers that something resembling previous Zelda titles returns.
Not saying you can't play just one or the other, but they're both made better by the existence of the other.
It's really one game split into two. There's some new tracks in The Lost Age, but if you weren't a fan of the first OST, the second isn't any different.
The story continues in the sequel and rounds things out a bit more. If I had to pick between the two, The Lost Age is my favourite, but you can't have that without the first.
It's okay, don't worry. They "don't really think of [their] game as fitting with any particular label".
Tldr, the games director never referred to it as a live service game (even though it has all the elements of one and takes a lot from other live service games).
I'm actually playing FF7 for the first time on a handheld emulator. I've previously tried to play FF4 and FF6 (several times) but couldn't really get too far in before giving up. I'm nearly 8 hours into FF7 now and, while it's definitely a bit dated in terms of controls (and obviously graphics), I'm having a much better time with it and as it stands, can see finishing it if it keeps going like it is. I just made it to the open world.
