9. Final Fantasy 1 Pixel Remaster, all achievements. Went with the party I played as a kid, Fighter, Black Belt, White Mage, Black Mage.

I can't tell how many QOL updates were from prior re-releases, but I liked this. The balance changes are subtle enough that you don't notice, except that you mostly don't have to grind. Obviously you don't whiff of you target something that dies later and you can have more than like four weapons in your inventory. Also I think Ethers are new? The "press Q to fast forward and auto attack" thing is cool and I liked having a map.

Some things I noticed: the Hall of Giants just has two giant combats in it now. As far as I can tell, they took Mindflayers/Sorcerers out of the Ice Cave. You definitely level faster. Chaos definitely has more HP.

Ethers are totally new, and also like they would make mages good. Are the mages still limited to 9 or less spells a level?

yup. I think the playstation remake switched to MP but the pixel remaster does it the NES/d&d way. the ethers weren't even expensive, I bought a full stock of them before the final dungeon

Yakuza 4 is the worst by a country mile but the good news is that it’s the last game in the series that isn’t incredibly epic because 5, 6, Judgment, and Like a Dragon are all S-tier games

I didn't look up how to get the Rin ending, so when that whole plot line diffused I was like uhhh Ok then. Rin just very abruptly leaves the game a few nights before the end, and you're just wondering what the point of her being a new addition to the game was, so I'm withholding judgement on that plotline for now.

I did get a general idea of what you're supposed to do though, so I will play it again.

imp consensus seems to be that 4 is the worst but I gotta vote for 3. the combat is bad is bad in 3, the mini games are bad, and the story is all given in one long monologue toward the end.

4 at least has Akiyama and saejima and a lot of the side content is fun. 5 is godly though

the moment at the end of Kiryu's part when he's taken care of all his business in one epic showdown, and then he gets the Majima news, slams his fist on the cab's steering wheel, and realizes he's gonna be dragged back in might be my favorite in the series so far

I think 4's big weakness for me is how its structured so it just starts four times.

And also Tanimura

I'm going to do Yakuza 5 after I play Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and Link to the Past.

4 has the worst final boss in any game I've ever played. 3 at least had Okinawa and the orphanage stuff which was awesome and a great palate cleanser

I paused on 5 in the middle of Saejima's chapter so I could focus on Nier, plus I needed some time away from Yakuza in general. Could feel the burnout happening

Roth

I just hate every boss in this series that's a dude with a gun that runs away from you while 20 of the most obnoxious enemy types in the game hound you.

The final boss in 4 is by far the worst version of that so far.

It legitimately nearly caused a rift between two of my friends lol, I'm glad we're done with it.

I'd also only played it single player before and it has to be the most different possible experience between SP and MP of any game I've played that's not explicitly competitive.

Is four swords worth playing SP, I've always just pegged it as a MP game and ignored it because of it.

four swords or four swords adventures? neither are exactly top tier games IMO but adventures has a decent single player experience. you can't even play four swords single player unless you have the anniversary edition.

29. Gravity Rush 2. weird rear end game. Feels like it had 4 different stories planned and they couldn't decide what to do and they just put it all in one game. I really liked all of the alien planetoid platforming levels that were completely separate from open world cities, they had no idea how to make fun missions in the city. So many instafail stealth sequences or endlessly boring battles. I think 1 was better but it's been a while since I played it. The third act that's a out of left field escalation to god killing is pretty cool
