What are you even booing here?

For some reason people seem to think Metroid Prime 1.5 and Metroid Dread are the same thing but they were different concepts and neither one is getting made at this point.

Which is great, and of course no other JRPG series has really taken after that in particular.

yeah see like the FF15 demo is actually kind of great except that your 4 party members for the entire game are the biggest anime JRPG heroes of all time, it's like a Greatest Hits of Final Fantasy protagonists and they're all dudes :\

Vaan, Zidane, Tidus and Squall walked into a bar.

"Walk into a bar," said Squall. "I won't have anyone talking about me in the past tense!"

FF 15 should have been a crossover about Jecht, Sazh, Laguna, and Caius going on dadventures instead of some boy band road trip. Make a FF game with actually entertaining characters for once, Square.

He is also Liam O'Brien devouring the scenery and he accessorizes daringly.

Sazh is definitely the best FF character, though.

I love Final Fantasy plots. They never half-rear end anything. It is 100 percent full rear end.

what are some good ones.

i don't think they do well with RPG, i think they fill a puzzle niche where it's basically about mashing your finger on the screen and making numbers go up. i want one that involves slightly less mashing than tiny tower, though, so that i can also live my life while experiencing the unique pleasure of mindlessly leveling up.
