Resistance did a level in Bristol but it was just a random park and I'm sad cause we've got loads of cool landmarks here that belong in video games

What was the first game to popularize the whole “yellow exclamation mark for quest givers” thing?

Diablo 1 is the earliest thing I can think of that put icons over the heads of people with stuff to say but it probably wasn't the first.

It wasn't the first but I imagine World of Warcraft popularized it.

Yeah my first instinct was WOW but I'm sure some older RPGs must have done that. Infinity Engine games maybe

Yeah no they didn't do it, it's definitely a Blizzard/MMO thing that crept into every game with quests.

Jay Rust posted:What was the first game to popularize the whole “yellow exclamation mark for quest givers” thing? It was definitely warcraft. Take this with a grain of salt, but I once heard they were initially going to go with question marks marking questgivers wanting to ask you for something, and exclamation marks for marking questgivers that can receive a finished quest. There's some blizzard employee out there that decided to flip that around, and now exclamation marks for new quests is the industry standard. (source: a friend that knows insiders. Who knows if this was for real).

Xenoblade 2 does question marks for new quests and exclamation marks for turning them in/updating and it kept loving me up. Also I think technically the Rexxar campaign in Frozen Throne introduced the quest marker thing before WoW, at least in blizzard games.

Ff13 has the worst battle system, the least likeable characters, and the most nonsensical story. Lightning is garbage, the setting is garbage. At least the sequels we're a slight improvement. The only positives I can say for 13 are a couple of the music tracks and the spectacle/graphics at the time the game first came out, but it's not exactly high praise considering it's supposed to be a game and not a movie. Gotta love those 20 minute cutscenes.

This is a very good break down and analysis of why Final Fantasy XIII is a bad game, while Final Fantasy X, despite also being a super linear title, is considered one of the best in the franchise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMZMJDFe1kc

FFXI is the worst FF game by a significant margin, it's not even close. Complaints about FFXIII's linearity are generally just people being tricked by overworld maps.

There's one thing that I liked about XIII, when the party gets split I expected Vanille and Hope to get paired and she would do the usual "you can't give in to your anger" stuff, but instead he went with Lightning who was like "here's a knife, kill people with it" and it was pretty cool, for a while.

I like FFX because it's one of the few games in the franchise that I think successfully convey an internally consistent and interesting world rather than a slapdash pastiche of impressive visual moments, as most Final Fantasies tend to do.

FFXIII isn't just linear, it is literally walking a corridor until you reach your destination, every time. A lot of jRPGs are linear, but at least they put some work into it.

FF13 would have been poo poo even if it had been open world. Linearity in games is fine. Badness, which is what 13 suffers from, is not.

I am watching the video (it's good, and I generally agree with what it's said so far) but it kind of addresses a different idea than I am. Specifically addressing the 'just a corridor' argument, it applies to significant chunks of most every FF, the corridor is just wider in the other games.
