I don't know that year well enough to make a proper list, but giving at least mention to Ys I and Ninja Gaiden as being games I really enjoyed that were localized in that particular year.

Alright now I'm just curious. Since we do seem to be having some bit of trouble thinking of a lot of good female role models in gaming, it's made me curious what you guys think are actually good...

Competitive games in general, really. I just don't enjoy the process of learning, training and competing in them enough.

I don't think I'll ever play Touhou games on Lunatic difficulty. Not that...

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA. I've written down my feelings on this game extensively before in my Ys retrospective so I won't repeat myself too much, but what makes it my favorite action game, beyond...

Well, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox just dropped, so...

You can't get Level 5s before Chapter 5 actually. The max level of chocobos you catch can never go higher than the chapter you're currently in. You can do some pre-work now but the bulk of your...

Nice to see this back as well ^^



Brings to mind that FFX-2 has two distinct kind of magic attacks. Specifically regular Black Magic is set up so that the move's own power constant is a huge...

IMO when it comes to the distinction between endgame and postgame content it's ironically less about the specific timing of its unlock and more about its purpose and place in the game's flow. Endgame...

Dana from Ys VIII definitely comes to mind immediately.

I do not see SE ever returning to putting that combat system in the mainline series, no. At this point the semi-action battle systems have become part of the series' modern identity and they wouldn't...

This is the kind of thing where my answer changes on a weekly basis. So have a few of them at least.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA

Dragon Marked For Death

Final...

Thanks. That makes this list significantly less monotonous. I'll start by saying I'm intending this less as an absolute list and more as an excuse to talk about some awesome video game characters....

Right now mainly Ys IX: Monstrum Nox.

I guess I got a bit ahead of myself in the other thread >.<

LOL took me a bit to get that. Can't argue with that.

I like Gurren Lagann and NGE well enough, although not nearly as much as their dedicated fanbases. Attack on Titan (which is absolutely a...

Final Fantasy IV through VI seem pretty good on this front thanks to the Advance versions. Dunno if they really need any extra content. I do kinda wish the Sealed Temple was a bit more varied I...

This. That fight is so much fun.

Though to answer the question in general I'd probably have to say the Zodiac Job System itself. It really transforms FFXII into a different, and IMO considerably...

... that you haven't gushed about yet. Tell me what little or big things you appreciate about this game that you thought of but don't usually get to talking about!

Seymour without a second thought. He is such a failed concept. Cut everything about marrying Yuna from the plot and stop it with the jealousy baiting. Also cut it with pretending he may turn out to...

FF I - Saw all of it played, no desire to play it myself.

FF II - Never played it but it seems kinda cool.

FF III - Never played it, maybe should see more of it sometime.

FF IV -...

Well this probably comes as no surprise to anyone who's heard me raving about it, but my GOTY is 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim without a doubt. It's the kind of game brimming with passion that only comes...

So 2020 is drawing to a close. What were your favorite games this year? Feel free to mention both games that came out this year as well as games from earlier that you only played for the first time...

Surprisingly thinking back, there's not a lot of change in my opinions on the series. The main noticeable shifts being around X, X-2 and XII, which all started as "good games" for me and have, to...

Neat.

As deserved as it was a predictable favorite. Congrats to a true timeless (ha ha) classic.
