I can't believe today was a good play (Games you played today)

Sewer Shark is legitimately hilarious because your boss is constantly chewing scenery and the perfidious Mayor Stenchler is played by the “don’t fuck with your brain, pal!!” guy from Total Recall

Beat YS V. The battle system was clunky to be honest. Good story and characters tho, also an excellent length at about 8 hours. Magic was completely pointless except for one tiny area. I dont think you could use it against bosses at all even.

after running through the ivalice raids in ffxiv with the BUTTS last night i got the urge to play some fft! i haven’t played it in ages! so, after @physical recommended a specific romhack which adds certain features from the psp version without altering the script (and also introduces ashley riot as a secret character) and i gave that a brief look, i found myself slipping into a rabbit hole of WHICH VERSION DO I ACTUALLY WANT TO PLAY AND FINISH? i haven’t actually played the psp version before so i don’t really have any perspective on it other than my awareness that omits certain familiar lines (“blame yourself or god,” etc.) while also changing stuff like ‘death corps’ to the cooler and i guess more accurate ‘corpse brigade’. it also has kinda wonky graphics (even with the slowdown patch) and doesn’t emulate quite as well, so.

anyway. which version(s) do y’all recommend? should i have made this into a thread of its own? i wanna know more about how the psp version compares, but most likely i care more about the psx version and romhacks that alter stuff, whether they include the psp version’s script or not. there are quite a few to choose from. i might just stick w/ the one physical recommended! but i’m curious! thanks!

this is a recurring topic and there’s already a thread about it. I think there’s some more discussion is probably buried somewhere deep in this thread too

there was this too

edit: this post reads pretty mean and I make it sound like you should know but that wasn’t my intention, I was just being terse

I started up Final Fantasy XV and… I do not think I was adequately prepared for it. As stated before I haven’t played a Final Fantasy game (excluding Theatrhythm) since FF X and I guess I was expecting it to like… still be a jrpg? At least early on it feels like an open world almost action game that aside from having a Cid and a chocobo on a sign shares like no surface dna with the series at all.

I think I like it better this way as an odd road trip game.

one time in Dragon’s Dogma a harpy picked me up and dropped me like 100 feet and my incredibly tall & strong warrior lady companion plucked me out of the air and gracefully set me down
