    That's why I tried to specify that it isn't a bad game, just not a game for Pumpkin. Pumpkin likes bright worlds and simple gameplay and anime character designs


    Basically Pumpkin is the opposite of everyone

    Since it's called "The Last Story" I'm guessing there ain't gonna be no sequel.

    The Last Story II confirmed.

    I just realized

    This games list is supposed to be kind of an intro to my top games list to get people ready (and myself) but instead its going to lead to

    "You have THIS game on your list but THAT one didn't make the cut? Rarrghhhh!!!"

    And you'll all call me a loser and throw eggs and pineapples at me

    No dear, only I'm allowed to make scathing remarks about games people love and get fruits and eggs thrown at me. It's how I get groceries.

    My point is that people like you so don't worry about it and just churn that list out.

    I won't call you a loser, but I probably will throw food at you. Hey, it's free food. No complaining.

    Yes, but have you seen the price of pineapples this time of year, you're practically saving money.

    You should expect this from any Top Games/ANYTHING ever.

    Going to post another one now because someone made me post a silly one first

    Plus I'll be too tired tonight, so here we go

    Knights in the Nightmare
    _-Knights-in-the-Nightmare-PSP-_.jpg

    Knights in the Nightmare apparently also comes in the DS flavour, but I've played the PSP version only, so I couldn't comment on differences.

    The game is about a kingdom suddenly ravaged by demons with a missing King and some political stuff thrown in there for good measure. Now I'm going to let you know ahead of time, since it will explain some other entries on this list, that I have a very hard time following political stories. I just don't have a mind for it. Plus this game just has a really convoluted plot that makes it hard to follow anyways.


    Now here is the reason it didn't make my top games list. The gameplay. What type of gameplay is it, you ask? I DON'T KNOW. Here, I'll let Tvtropes handle this one:

    This game is particularly noteworthy for the extremely unusual gameplay elements that it uses; it's an odd combination of time-management, strategy, reflex, and Bullet Hell.
    Don't misunderstand me, I don't dislike the gameplay. It's impossible for me to dislike it because my brain refuses to process what it is in the first place. I managed to stumble my way through a decent amount of fights, but I have no idea how. Not a clue. And yes, I'm not the most strategy minded, but even they had to have known that for the average person, it's pretty complicated because when you start you get tutorial after tutorial after tutorial explaining it to you. And it still wasn't clear. You know how you can go on a games website and it'll have a little gameplay section with a few bullet points as to what it is, and that's all fine? The website for this game has four videos explaining it to you.

    tl;dr, I have no idea how to play the game. It is a beast unlike any other


    Now I want to like this game, and I want to play it. One thing I am a fan of is bunches of characters and this game has bunches of characters. A lot of them look interesting to me. But I couldn't get to them because they were guarded by the sacred beast of confusing gameplay. And I fully intend to go back and try it again after my head has been cleared and try to take another crack at it in the hopes that it'll suddenly click in my brain. But for now, I can't add it to my games list because I can't actually play it


    The game actually gets really good reviews, so it might be worth checking out for those who enjoy complicated gameplay and strategy games. It certainly provides a unique experience.

    Please tell me you said that ironically, being on a Final Fantasy forum, and all?

    Unless you're me. Then you'll get one or two eggs thrown and the rest will be like "Eeh."

    No. I never joke or say anything ironically. I am 100% serious all of the time.

    It's pretty, though.
