It was a trick question, amnesia is never a good literary device

How come they're all about retrograde amnesia? Where's my Memento-style game about anterograde amnesia???

To be more serious, even though I didn't overall care for the story, I thought Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles did some very interesting things with the fog robbing people of their memory so they forget what they're even trying to do, and the world is kind of caught in this terrible existence where no one really has a past. Like at one point a character murders his father because he forgot why he was seeking him out or who he was and let rumors about his dad as a dangerous warrior shape his perception of his quest, so he eventually believed he was trying to stop him.

Here are some games where the amnesia aspect is at least pretty okay: Harvester That's all I got.

But the real question is, did all the heroes grow up in the same orphanage, though?

Phantasium posted:But the real question is, did all the heroes grow up in the same orphanage, though? The player characters are all blank slates, which I guess makes sense with the setting, so probably not. It's more of a story about the world. I have no idea what the ending is because I didn't have the dongles to let you play with your friends and single player is kind of tedious in that game. I got to what I think the final dungeon was and couldn't be bothered to finish it.

KingSlime posted:that sounds like a really cool plot point actually Crystal Chronicles has some neat ideas buried under a bunch of dumb ones. You have a memories stat that goes up every time you see an event (lots of minor incidental story arcs) or finish a dungeon and the final battle involves weaponizing them

I wouldn't say the Deadly Premonition amnesia twist is particularly great, but it enables York to exist which is good.

Crystal Chronicles was the one where you had to, like, carry around a thing that made a safe zone from environmental damage or something, right? I remember playing a bunch of it solo and thinking, man, it would be great if there was someone else to do this for me.

tap my mountain posted:I wouldn't say the Deadly Premonition amnesia twist is particularly great, but it enables York to exist which is good. It's not really amnesia there. There is' more part repressed memories and part holding back information from the player. For most of it it's not clear how much of the plot is repressed and how much is simply not told to the player.

Nate RFB posted:Oh I have like 90 Criterions I love, of which Godzilla is one. But some, like the Before Trilogy or the Dekalog, are absolutely cases of "I can kind of see why this is culturally/artistically deemed significant, but I am bored to tears watching this and know I'll never ever rewatch it." The Dekalog is fuckin' amazing
