The earlier games often struggled with fleshing out the entire cast having more focus on the gameplay and worldbuilding. After the change to 3D some of the cast got more development but dialogues grew increasingly hammier. Feels like bit by bit it loses some of it's identity but the decline in classic style JRPG means it can still mask some of the losses

Personaly FF6 is my favorite due to it's mellow tecnomagic vibe and more somber atmosphere

I was thinking about start playing, I previously played the one with lightining, and didnt like very much

But I'll give i a try again, gonna look into FF6

Morning everyone! So I guess the sho is semi enabled. Not entirely sure what that means. Still trying to find the prompt in which to click to access it. At least to see prices and what's available. Appreciate the help btw

FFXI is actually still going :3 Played it a few months ago for the first time and the servers are still plenty active for such an old MMO <3

I tried this a while back. I think I spent more time trying to figure out how to set up my account and pay for a month of service than I did actually playing the game.

Oh, so some FFs are not just RPGs, but also MMOs? I see. Didn't know that before.

Good day everyone!

Just keep in mind one thing, when the floating island starts to self destruct and a party member leaves to help. The timer is NOT for you to get to your ship to get out of the island but for you to endure the monster waves until they come back. Biggest mistake i made on my first run

Dance, dance, Adachi! Dance for the peace of the world!



I’m finally starting to get over my choice paralysis and getting back to the games I left unfinished.

But it got me wondering, do you guys ever replay games you’ve already finished, just to see if they still hold up? Or do you prefer to leave them as they are and just keep the memories in your heart without revisiting them?

Is there ever a fear that they won’t live up to the nostalgia?

There are so many games and so little time. Sometimes I can’t decide whether I should go back and replay old favorites or spend that time trying new games I haven’t experienced yet.

Love me some FFXIV. It's a pretty classic MMO, standard classes. Optics are a lot more my thing than the cartoony warcraft style. Really low amount of grinding. Story of the vanilla game is fine, but drags on at times, but the DLC stories are really good. It's free until lvl 60 I believe? And I think the first expansion is included in the free part as well, which is already pretty good

Ooo what games you playing? :3

If they are games that feel really magical to me then yep! Or if they are games that I think are really well made and I haven't gotten everything out of them (games like Deus Ex, Souls games)

 

[BrodyPresto]

Also, why does the Member badge look so much more fabulous than the Elite and Legend badges? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Deus Ex. Imagine procrastinating on playing games… just to doomscroll instead. And yet, that’s exactly what I do.

Also, how do you still have the energy to play games after finishing work? Doesn’t work take up your whole day and drain all your energy, Yuna?

I know, you must’ve sacrificed some of your beauty sleep for gaming, I reckon. It’s like the triangle of life: sleep, social life, and work. You always end up having to sacrifice one of them.

Is hard to say, my first was XIII but most people agree that either VI or VII are the best starting points, or X (which has probably aged the best and has the lowest amount of jank at the start :3)
[automerge]1773054007[/automerge]

Ooo I loved playing Sims 2 when I was younger :3 Remember loving the DS version alot as well <3

X to me was a bit jarring compared to other titles i've played, OSTs are nice but some things didn't feel quite right. XII i'd recomend playing some of the tactics titles like the first GBA one for cross references (Not that important but some of the cast is shared). IV often gets lots of praise but it has the jankyness common in RPG maker games (The DS remake looked hideous with the 3D SD models with huge heads and tiny bodies). V has a light hearted start but can have some dark moments as well (the class system is a grindfest tho). VI and VII share a lot in themes and systems with the materia system basically being an upgrade of the esper stones, so if you like one chances are you will like the other and probably xenogears as well

 

[ghost cat]

Also good

Steam has the whole series available to buy so you don't need to setup 5 different emulators to play then from the start, but you can star anywhere, that's the beauty of FF, there's turn based RPG's (the first ones, Original FFVII) mix of the two (FFXIII, FFXII) real time combat (FFXV, FFVII Remakes(s)) and straight up DMC Lite (FFXVI)

Also all the girls are really cute

Speaking of cute girls, there's a NSFW parody RPG called CRYSTAL FANTASY. I think it was pretty good? Been a hot minute since I played it

Sometimes I do replay games. The amount of times I completed Sonic 3&K scares me If the game has NG+ mode with new content (like in Persona 5 Royal), I tend to complete that, too
