1) Nier replicant (all endings): the music is so good, ending E was cool, makes me want to replay automata and see the refs I missed the first time

FF7 intergrade - I put it off for a bit because I thought it would lean more on nostalgia than being a fun game, but it was great. The theme for the arsenal fight is the best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrUvL07SIFM

Final Fantasy IX - one of the few main FF games I hadn't finished before, good game but my least favorite of the ps1 trio, I still like 8 more for the characters and setting

Sekiro (immortal severance ending): I'd played through roughly the first half of it before but felt like I never really got the combat and was really struggling. I came back to it about 10 days ago and it immediately clicked. None of the bosses were too rough this time except corrupted monk final phase killing me like 10 times and the final boss like 40. Absolutely epic game.

Kongming posted:I've never played Dirge and have only heard bad things about it, so their addition doesn't mean much to me. The one in the Yuffie DLC was alright but I felt like the bosses in the DLC overall were too easy because Synergize was so strong. Synergized Art of War did a quarter of a bosses healthbar, more if it was staggered. lol yeah those dogs were rough. I liked the dlc a lot and the dirge parts were good enough on their own but it was a weird tonal clash with the rest of the dlc. Yuffie at the end bawling and pounding the ground in the last fmv especially

Elden ring - even better than I expected, easy goty. The atmosphere and sound and design was much weirder and cooler than ds 1-3. Took about 75 hours and ended around level 150. I've still got some optional stuff to do but I think I hit the major things, Ranni questline, Fia questline, and the heligtree. I tried to kill both the big secret boss and the final mandatory boss a bunch of times as a haphazard int/quality build, but eventually gave up and respeced to 99 dex and katanas lol

6) Devil survivor overclocked: I put this down last year when I got a switch, but was on day 7 so decided to get back to it. Overall it was an interesting and mostly good take on smt as an srpg. Skill cracking, customizing your humans, and the way they worked in press turns were all cool. I'll give devil survivor 2 a shot sometime, if they build on what 1 did well it should be really good.

7) Tactics Ogre (PSP): extremely good, probably the best srpg I've played. I did law route, so right at the beginning I followed orders to murder a town of my own people as a false flag to unite us against the invaders  . That and another later big story bit were genuinely surprising, it was great.

8) Dark Souls 2 SotFS version: I never actually finished Scholar, after beating normal DS2 a couple times, so good to finally do it I guess. It's just not a great game lol. Boss design and variety, animations, sound, world design, I think it's all worst in the series. Gargoyles were probably my favorite fight, which is sad. The one thing I really liked is how you could tackle the first four main story bosses in whatever order. Besides the janky gameplay, the lack of interconnectedness in the world is probably the biggest disappointment compared to 1. Bloodborne came out a week before Scholar (and only a year after vanilla DS2), which kinda blows my mind. Feel bad for the devs working on vanilla DS2 and scholar, thinking of them checking out what the guys in the office next door were working on then having to go back to finish making their sad game lol

EmmyOk posted:I don’t think the interconnectedness is a big deal tbh and especially when they rightly let you warp everywhere in every game after 1 instead of schlepping it back through areas again and again It's more like you literally turn a corner and now it's an entirely different weather/setting/biome, it could've been demons souls style split into stages for as coherent as it was. Also seeing parts of the world from other areas and then going to those parts is awesome and, I think, completely absent from 2 (though I don't remember if it was much in 3 either honestly). That's not a huge knock on its own but it's like, they didn't spend extra effort and time making the bosses super cool in exchange for half assing the world design and sound or whatever.

Triangle Strategy - good game, fairly slow start had me losing steam halfway through, but the final 1/3 or so gets epic. I went with saving the roselle ending and the last fight highlighted all the cool poo poo in the battle system really well.

Trails in the sky SC: really good. Really like the battle system and materia. The formulaic bits (visiting each region in turn) dragged just a little after having just played FC, but that's the only minor complaint. Only 1000 more hours of trails to play

Tokyo Mirage Sessions: talking to people about it before playing had my expectations low, so it ended up being a pleasant surprise, a goofy persona-lite that was light on overarching story but tried some slight tweaks to smt gameplay (upgrading weapons rather than personas, automatic chains of follow up attacks rather than press turns or all out attacks)

Xenoblade chronicles: good game. I started it awhile ago and got bogged down around the time you find Melia and Riki and didn't play it for like 6 months, but pushing through that it starts picking up steam again. The last third or so was great, really made me want to play xenosaga again which I'll do after xenoblade 2 and 3.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: very epic, spent 105 hours going through most of the optional stuff and getting all the random rare blades. Somehow they made it insanely anime and added gacha poo poo and the game still ended up being fantastic. Definitely like it better than 1 despite the bad bits, because the characters, environments, side quests, and gameplay were all a solid improvement. The only thing I'd say 1 hits better is the ending sequence in 1 is going to stick with me longer, the walking through the solar system was such a cool, unexpected visual thing, and the related plot stuff was really really good. On to Torna and then 3!

Torna the Golden Country: really cool sendoff to xenoblade 2, I can't quite believe how much effort and change they put into a dlc. The more serious tone fit really nicely and the tweaks to the combat were good. The sole bad thing I can say about it is the side quests were often more like xenoblade 1 than 2, and the part where they pause the main quest to make you do some of them to build up the community was rough cause I wanted to keep going with the story!! All together Xenoblade 2 and torna are incredibly good, happy I finally got to them.

Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia: I ended up liking this more than awakening and fates. Even with the simpler classes and equipment and items, the basic gameplay was still great, having a bunch of small and medium battles rather than 20ish massive maps was nice, and the art and characters and plot were all an improvement.

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions - really good, even with the silly script change. I do like Tactics Ogre better, partly because I liked the plot and characters better and you get to use more units in battle, and partly because FFT having no progression gating on jobs/abilities means I can't resist grinding for a bit early and then for the last like 1/4 of the game having the same set jobs and no new abilities to learn. SRPGs rule, I'm glad they're getting a little more popular again.

my morning jackass posted:You pretty much have to grind for calculator because they are so weak before you get a whole lot of jp, and they gain it so slowly due to their abysmal speed. I didn't end up using a calculator (arithmetician lol), I felt a little stretched thin on abilities with only 5 units already, though I kept steal on one and only used it a few times. Also geomancer ended up being one I doubled up on just cause it was really versatile + had the reaction ability. I started it on vita awhile ago right after finishing tactics ogre but didn't get far, now I have a steam deck and am just using it to play through psp and psx games lol
