Keep it up son, take a look at what you could have won


The Labo competition Joy-Con is the best colour, it looks like a cigarette filter. They should make a dock design that just straight up looks like a giant pack of Benson & Hedges.

There's a reason this series has been going on for so long despite Square-Enix's complete incompetence at developing AAA-level games these past fifteen or so years.

Mystic Quest is underrated. Yes, it's pretty crap, but it gave kids an easy introduction to JRPGs. Before that I'd only rented Fantasy Star and some horrible dungeon crawler on the Mega Drive. They kicked my rear end and made me hate the genre.
MQ is babbys first RPG and it does a good job. It also helps that the music is awesome.

Or hell, even the original sprite artwork that 5 and 6 had. Both games had some expressive sprites that get dulled down by the underwhelming sprites the Matrix remasters add (seriously why is every single male character angry), and FF6 in particular has some phenomenal sprite work that still holds up great today, to the point where when Matrix did the Wii port of FF4: The After Years, they basically used the FF6 character sprites as their starting point for that game's characters.

I'm surprised FF1-6 haven't shown up yet, but I'd guess they're next after FF8 comes out.

I don't know, FF3 was so boring trying to play it put me in a coma, that doesn't sound like what a good game would do.

And FF8 is so bad it's good, like a nice B-Movie. FF11 seems to be some sort of torture simulator for masochists instead of a game, but even with all my disgust over FF10 and FF13 I can tolerate other people liking them, the world is full of weirdos, after all.

But yeah, all other FF-games are just different shades of good, even the ones I don't want to play ever again, like FF7. Now let me turn away from the monitor for a moment so I can get me a fresh, cold DRINK.

They changed things and added systems over the years that you can complete the vast majority of story content without it feeling like you have to apply a hammer to your balls to get anything done.

Changes made:
Uncapped CoP and all story mode fights.
Vastly increased exp per hour and included ways to get more exp like unity, hunts and sparks quests.
Trust npcs can be used to fill out your party instead of strangers.

Ironically, I like the catgirls of FF11 better then the too-human ones in FF14, but I'm already playing too many games, including two MMOs. I'm pretty sure if I started FF11, even if it is less stupidly insane then back then, I'd have to stop sleeping or eating, or both. And then I wouldn't be able to play any games soon, on account of being loving dead, man.

It's the only (snes) FF game where you can name the protagonist ShaoKhan :rock: because it uses eight characters.

He's saying it's the last one universally praised. Each iteration after that gets to be more polarizing.

Here's one for you: FF6 is boring and a mess of gameplay systems, worse than FF7 even.

I'm pretty sure i played FF7 to completion, even though i didn't like it much (boredom and too much time), i even played FF1 and 2 all the way through, and only made it like halfway through FF6. Probably. I couldn't tell you, really, because it was so forgettable. There was a sand castle or something, a ninja, a kid with speech impediment and i don't remember much else.

If you want good SNES RPGs, play Chrono Trigger, Lufia 2 and Terranigma instead

FF6 SNES is pretty buggy, but both it and 7 don't have much more going on than "equip item for a while->learn spell and get stats", and 6 takes a good while to even get there.

Re: drifting

I'm actually on my 4th left joycon. I bought two pairs at launch and they both showed signs of drifting last year. A yellow pair I bought on sale later on hasn't had the issue yet, but I also got one of the left hand ones with a D-Pad so I haven't been abusing that one with Zelda, Sonic, and Mario.

it's not really an autoattacking game and maybe i just didn't play long enough, but it didn't hold my interest long enough to get out of the boring phase, if it ever changes. it was like "ok cycle attacks 2 4 debuff 1 3 basic spell 1 3 1 3 1 3 2 is about to expire reup that" which... that's just not my jam man, it might as well be autoattacking for as engaging as it was to me
