Final Fantasy X

This would be the answer except they also kind of resort to amnesia in the (even better) FFX-2.

The major problem with PoE is that the world and its inhabitants were about as interesting as 19th century tariff law and yet the game insisted you wanted to hear all about it, all the time.

I am so bad at For Honor, but fortunately for me, there are many who are even worse.

I think one of the expansions added a special weapon that gets more powerful by killing the Kickstarter backer characters, which is great.

I hope Obsidian makes some better pledge goals for their next kickstarter because man those NPC fanfics were some of the most embarrassing things I've ever read in a video game.

Code Veronica is the best of the OG Resident Evils pre-RE4 and REmake. And is also better than all the games that came after those, too.

I dunno which Illiad/Odyssey fanfic I like the most. It's either the Aeneid, the Greek campaign in Age of Mythology, or the one where Achilles and Patroclus work in a coffee shop together.

James Joyce's Ulysses is the best Odyssey fanfic.

Spoderman posted:

After Don Quixote was written, a fanfic sequel came out and Cervantes caught wind of it. He then wrote a real sequel where a major plot involves Don Quixote going around saying "yeah, that wasn't me, there's some impostor going around. Also, he's way less funny and nuanced than I am." And then Don Quixote dies at the end and the author explicitly says it's so that nobody can make any more bad fanfic.

This is how they should have ended Mass Effect 3.

I remember the original Halo trilogy all being pretty huge critical and commerical successes back in the day and Halo 4 the point where the series began to go off the rails for many.

It's always amazing to me that the stereotype of the Hanzo/Genji slampicker is so universally mocked, yet there are people who still do it in every single game. It's like how guidos and juggalos still exist.

Yahtzee is definitely gimmicky, and his gimmick is to overaccentuate the negatives of any game he's reviewing. Which has probably been a smart business decision as nerds simply cannot let go of anything that dare besmirch the name of Whatever.

is final fantasy even a huge draw itself these days? i know it's still in triple A territory but I thought its heyday was long past compared to market busters like call of duty or uncharted etc. etc.

It's going to probably hit 10 million sales by the end of the year, which is what it needed to break even lol.

Idk how well t did but XIII is probably my second favorite FF.

If you combine the entire trilogy then it's the best-selling mainline FF ever, though each entry individually sold less than FFX/2 and FF7.

For a game to be bad it requires you to remember anything about it, so I can safely say that FFXII is not bad.

I was 17 when FFX came out and to me it was a really solid RPG that told its story competently with some excellent art direction. But its most important function as we would later find out was being a precursor to the modern masterpiece and imho the most perfect JRPG ever, Final Fantasy X-2.

X-2 at least was upfront about you retrieving macguffins that are inherently worthless, which is hilarious. getting a sphere that shows just static...masterful.

Not only that but in tortuously getting the 100% ending Yuna learns nothing and experiences no character development, which was meta as hell for 2002.

I think new release blindness is definitely a thing but so is reflexive "actually everything was terrible" gooniness, and the two exist forever in a perfectly opposing balance, much as a star's nuclear fusion keeps it from collapsing in upon itself.

It wasn't too difficult in the original FFX to effectively automate your own Blitzball team, either. To get Wakka's ultimate weapon you had to do something absurd like win 3 seasons in a row and I did it because I had no life when I was 17.

Lurdiak posted:

It's a little weird that the character entirely defined by Blitzball is worse at Blitzball than the main character.

Tidus' signature weapon early in development was going to be the Blitzball, but they decided at some point it was really gay for the main character of a Final Fantasy game to not have a sword so they reversed his weapon with Wakka.

Wakka never seemed like he was all that serious about winning at Blitzball before Tidus showed up, more like "just happy to be here."
