everyone but ayla and robo got good writing imo but ayla doesn't need it because she rules anyway

C'mon, Robo had to murder his girlfriend to stop Skynet and literally worked to death replanting a forest that I'm pretty sure gets burned down canonically in Chrono Cross.

Well Lightning Returns explains some of it. The robodemigods in 13 hating their own existence was explained in 13 though. I think.

Chrono Trigger has lots of nice moments & neat mechanics but man that sound design was loving abysmal

also I don't understand why Cell was there or why he had nipple lasers

Dragon Quest XI is so loving good that I can't even think about other jrpgs at the moment lol. Every party member is fun from both a story and gameplay perspective and they all fit together perfectly. It's big but in a way that's generous instead of stretched out, like it almost feels like it's moving too fast but it's long and replayable. It's something you can dive in deeply and it's also something you can just dip in for a little bit whenever you want.

Anyway game good lol

DQ11 is hella long but it's also paced super well. Every new location you arrive at has a little story arc to it that's like 2 hours long. Not exactly bite-sized, but I've been really enjoying sitting down every night and going on a little adventure with my video game friends, start to finish. It's satisfying.

So in this threads opinion, how was FF15?

I only played the first hour or two, but I wasn't really feeling it. It tries to do Final Fantasy things but it also tries to be some kind of action RPG and it just winds up being a clunky implementation of both.

Maybe I'll come back to it and I'll like it better.

Just started playing it myself a while ago and my opinion is that it's a terrible FF game but an excellent bro roadtrip simulator.

Yeah, I really dig the road trip aspect, shame about the rest of it.

FF15 really dropped the ball on not having good "camping" moments where you characters chat over dinner at a rest stop or something. Like it's a game that desperately needs the skits from Tales or the dinner scenes from Grandia but aside from a few canned moments and the one good scene with Prompto you basically only ever rest because driving at night sucks. And whoever thought it was a good idea to have the empire randomly drop soldiers on you should've been booted from the team.

Such a great little world that completely lacked any kind of actual world building.

An unpublished Dr. Seuss work buried in that list.

"Open, friendly attitude toward sexually promiscuous women" is worthy of a content warning on the same level as the rest of that, though?

Edit: That was a rhetorical question I know what country this is.

"Show me the games, the dirty, the lewd!
I want to see that girl in the nude!"

Gaben complied, though meek, and demurred,
"My goodness, my gracious, how awful absurd!"

"To think my small platform be filled with lewd games,
For perverts! My word! And shared all the same!"

"The breasts, oh, the asses!" The gamer exclaimed,
