7-9 and 1-3 and MMOs are all trash. 4-6 and 12 are good. Any way you look at it, 10 is solidly in the top 5 of the whole series.

14's current expansion has a better story than most FF games, especially 10.

Emet Selch is one of the top FF characters period.

Does anyone here have the new Satisfye and Skull & Co grips? I want to get one, and the Satisfye seems to be the best, but I hate that it has super large branding right on the front of it.

I'm still really early in DQ11 but it feel like playing PS2 RPGs when I was a kid.

i finally got to finishing links awakening today and like most zelda games I was instinctually a little bummed it was over, but at the same time I’m still glad I bought a physical copy

link between worlds was more fun for me (and released in 2013?? :drat:) but I do feel there was some certain cozy similarities between the links awakening redo and aLBTW, which makes sense

Mechanics are the worst. I like Dragon Quest where it basically plays itself. Less mechanics more story, crafting and collecting please

mostly the mechanics are almost always inscrutable without either doing a bunch of really tedious experimentation in-game, or equally tedious reading online. i always rather doubted many people at all enjoy battle mechanics, just based on how many supposed classics have stats and items which plain don't work.

yeah. that sounds good!

all story in rpgs is bad and counting numbers is not my style but if given a combination of both while I have fun running jumping around mechanics with a button bash slashing through monsters gameplay I'd be good

I'm thinking of picking up Dragon Quest XI (never played any of the series before) and downloading the demo as I've seen all the stuff about it being pretty long and saves carrying over.

Just checking, the demo doesn't have any missing features/content (outside of the 16bit mode I've seen mentioned) that blocks you out of stuff compared to starting the full game from scratch? Like missing items/quests, certain skills/moves/magic not being avaliable or not being able to use all the options? It's just a true chunk of the full game from the start (minus 16bit mode)?

Yep. There's nothing you can miss.

Just make sure to check the quest log (+ button) for white highlighted quests as that means you can do them either right now or very soon.

I played it a few months ago and it is good. Characters were fun, story was decent, combat mechanics were interesting. There's a hint of suikoden in the way you collect a horde of NPCs, but I'm told it is mechanically really a saga game. I haven't played those so I don't know how well it succeeds at that, but I thought it held up well on its own.

There's a lot of interesting scenarios in the game that made it feel consistently novel. It stayed fresh throughout.

Also it has an optional character that is an arrogant penguin wizard and he is great. I guess it's a good year for horrible birds generally.

Uncharted is what happens if you only level "brawler" and "bullet sponge"

I wish they would have remastered the "prequel" to Alliance Alive, The Legend of Legacy, mostly because it suffers from SaGa overcomplicated battle mechanics but also mostly because I want another RPG where I can be a frog man

Then you probably should because the narrator in Bastion was widely praised and is considered one of the game's strong points. If you don't like that it isn't going to change.
