Xenoblade 2 has a waifu who is so waifu that 10 hours into the game she can transform into a magical tsundere who secretly lives inside her


try the PS4 or PC version

the pixelated polygons are smoothed out and the loads are quick

I probably will at some point. I also should play that 12 remake (hooray fast forward) and 15 which I've seen like 6 hour s of while watching a friend cream herself over the boy love

Oh! Speaking of JRPG's and series that died an ignoble death.

Suikoden. 1, 3 and 5 were all good, 2 was amazing, and 4 was trash.

Man was that a great overarching storyline that just got murdered in the most depressing way

FF XII is great because Jun Marketing was like "make some teenagers the main characters of this game for demographics" and the writers were like "pffft fine but after the first hour of the game they're just gonna sit on the sidelines looking like lost dogs while the actual characters talk about the important stuff"

It was a great followup to 10 where the main character narrates a lot, but has obvious brain damage

Doesn't FFXII have judges like FF Tactics? Or am I thinking of something else

Yeah, it's set in the same world as FF tactics, but has next to no overlap, it's depressing.

Wasn't there a FF XII re-master on the way, or did that already come out?

Yeah, you can probably get it for ~$20-25 right now at a bunch of places.

X is weird because it has the best story but the worst characters to experience it

"Its a morose journey of death where people will sacrifice themselves just to give a hopeless world an indeterminate amount of time where there will not be untold suffering, all under the eyes of a church subservient to an all-mighty god who keeps the world in this state to protect his imaginary paradise"

"LETS PLAY BLITZBALL BRUTHA"

Yeah, I played through it a few years ago when the remaster came out and the main character's narration was very obviously the confused ramblings of a mentally challenged child.

and then there's the FFXIII trilogy which isn't a video game series, it's videographic evidence of a man slowly going insane from dehydration because he won't stop masturbating long enough to take a drink of water

The story arc and growth of the characters in 13 is fantastic. The game's story aside from that is so lovely and slapped together. 13-2 was... funny but so very flawed, with an absolutely hilarious ending.

It took a lot of work to make a portrayal of a black person less sensitive than Barrett, but goddamn if a dude keeping a literal bird in his afro didn't make a strong play

Also they wanted to name him "Sax" but someone at least slapped them and made them change it to "Sazh".

Also, no, Barrett is one of the more racist depictions of a character in both original creation and translation into English.
