I'll just leave this here.

It looks kinda bonkers, and not at all what I was expecting.

Everybody who whines about the port of VI has never played it. The town graphics on the overworld are wonky, but that’s it. It’s the same drat game under the hood.

Everything else is just fine. In fact, I think the battle graphics are BETTER. You drat babies.

I have FFVI on my phone, whenever I want. I live in the future and it is great.

You penises were fine with it when FFV and that stupid dimensions game came out.

The real trick is to not play X at all.

I mean, unless you want to fight the same four pallet swapped enemies the entire game, in which case BE MY GUEST.

Seriously though, Who Wants To Live Forever is the correct choice.

So I finally picked up XV, and played it for about an hour and it’s real fun. But is it supposed to just START? I mean the boys got sent on the road by the king and now we’re doing bro stuff in hammerhead.

Its rad and all, but I feel like I’m missing stuff. Should I watch kingsglaben first or just keep playing?

Side note: prissy pants ignis is a rad dude. He makes crispy cheese pizza with golfing gloves and that appeals to me.

I thought it would have been really interesting if the Magitek soldiers fought with the monsters too because they are loving feral usually.

But no, a platoon of dudes just drops in and forms an immediate deadly alliance with this pack of electric tigers

My thoughts EXACTLY. I’m playing for the first time, and just finished chapter 2. I was hunting a flan for the diner dude in Hammerhead so I whomp the flan just as an Iron Giant starts climbing out of a puddle of black goo. I was all set to run away, cuz nem giants are bad news bears when a transport hovers over and spits out fifteen magitek axe goons.

I stuck around waiting to see if they’d fight each other but noooooo, they only had eyes for me and my mariachi outfit.

Also, the heartbreaking emotional heft of all the chapter two and three cutscenes is completely and hilariously negated by said mariachi outfit. It’s transcendent.

The game trying to take itself seriously in that dumb chibi style is hilarious.

My noctis is dressed as a chocobo mariachi. The high drama while dressed as such makes the game sublime.

Listen man, if purist weebs want to froth at the mouth about excellent retranslations then they totally can. I grew up playing badly translated games and so I loved the hell out of WotL.

Don’t get me wrong, I love “I had a good feeling” and poo poo as much as the next guy but I also like being able to follow a story without having to parse through Engrish too.

I really like XV a lot, I’ve been playing it off and on for a few months, but am not far into it at all. I’ve got to meet Iris in Lestallum right now but I keep going on hunts and driving around listening to the Red Wings theme.

I’ve never piloted a barge in real life, but if I did I bet i’d be a lot better at driving the Regalia. That thing is ridic.

I always picked a thief because when you’re ten years old, ninjas are cool action.

So I know it’s the same as the mobile port, but I just got the Switch version of the best PlayStation FF, number IX, and good god ya’ll. The fast forward function is a godsend for Chocobo Hot and Cold. I just scored all 9 chocographs from the first forest in about a half hour.

It felt really good.

Squall looks like a real cool dude but he is extremely wack.

The fact that Laguna and his rad bros aren’t the main characters is the worst thing about VIII.

Noct and the boys are seriously rad protagonists. I like FFXV, but I don’t know how much of that is main character based.

It’s a fun game, but it’s a strange mishmash of open world, RPG and action that doesn’t really do any of them super well, but the story and bros hold it together for me.

My main, petty childish beef with any and all dragon quests is that I hate Toryama’s art. Go to a dungeon, DQ.


I love Chrono Trigger though. I didn’t say my beef made sense.

Tidus is wack because his name is canonically pronounced “tee-dus”

Also I’m grumpy because mechanically X is fun, but the art style is the worst and you only fight the same four pallet swapped enemies the entire game.

And Wakka has a wicker basket attached to his elbow. And you absolutely can’t swim while wearing hiking boots.

I’m an Amano guy. Give me wispy watercolors over belts and zippers pleaaaaaase.


X is really fun to play though, I like the sphere grid and battle mechanics, I like the setting and the vibrant colors and I even like the story! It’s just Nomura’s style and the enemies that kill it for me.

I’ll deffo buy it again in the ol’ Switcheroo when it hits

Don’t listen to anyone who hasn’t played it. The mobile ports of VI are the exact same as the original under the hood.

The graphics aside from the 3d towns on the map are just fine.

The best off-road Regalia is my boy Boco.

I’m glad they gave you a chapter where the Regalia is gone, since I never would have chocoboed without it. I’m not going back, that world needs to be seen by chocoback.
