I get the feeling I'd have loved FFT as a kid but by the time I actually got round to emulating it the pace was so slow it was just a complete turnoff. It's kinda weird in Codename STEAM's case though because it's made by the Fire Emblem guys and that's a series which really consciously avoided slow-mode tedium. It's like in transferring to 3D they forgot all the quality-of-life practices they'd developed over the years

Was watching a video showing the history of the Dynasty Warriors series and there are people in the comments saying things like "DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 IS THE BEST :byodood:" and people reply "no it's 4" and then someone else comes along and says "bullshit DW6 is the best".

But... aren't they all mostly the same game? :psyduck:

Why will it be terrible? It seems alright from what they showed us so far.

Final Fantasy hasn't been really good since 9. 12 was solid though.

Lightning Returns was good and in fact better than most FFs, largely by virtue of being a Final Fantasy pretty much in name only. When is that damned steam release coming?

I liked 13-2. Mainly because I went all "Pokemon" on it and tried to get all the best monsters.

The best part about Final Fantasy arguments is that people who say anything from the 13 series is good always has to list reasons why, before anyone asks

Meanwhile with 6 and 9 you can just say they're good and drop the mic

The third game had the best gameplay, it just had worse characters due to being more like a generic JRPG. Still good though.

God, Johnny was a bland as poo poo protagonist compared to Koudelka and Yuri.

If you put the best Final Fantasy numbers together you get 6 and 9, which form the official funny number "69". 13 is a very unfunny number so there's no wonder it's bad.

Also I couldn't think of any Irish games, or anything really very "green" to play for St Patrick's Day. I guess I coulda played the Flogging Molly songs in Guitar Hero but gently caress it I burnt out on that game years ago

the trick to this is some kind of motivation to click. you need them to expect something they wanted, only to be met with the mediocrity of mr astley, and by extension, life.

I only tried to play that game once and one of my units permanently died on the first map, then a treasure chest disappeared before I could get to it, and I was like "Yeah I'm going back to playing WCW vs NWO revenge"

game can be hard before you start to understand what all the numbers mean and how to position yourself and stuff, and even then, it isn't the easiest. There's some more obtuse systems like Faith levels can lead to your character either taking/recovering almost no damage from spells, or getting blown up by a single Fire spell. But I really think it is a terrific game~ The gameplay, the jobs, the spritework, the sound effects, the music, the story, the style, etc. It is one of my favorite games
