@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I really liked the social link in Persona 4 with Ai, as she showed more depth than a lot of other characters. Her social link also was a lot better at showing how the main character has a gift for reaching people, compared to other ones where they were just pleasant people with 1 problem that you solve.
@Jimmer-jammer Ghostwire certainly has quite a different aesthetic though, I'm not too sure of it yet but always willing to give stuff from Mikami a try.
While I have a lot of nostalgia for Sonic 2 & Sonic & Knuckles since I used to play them practically every weekend at my cousins' house, Sonic is just a series I've since never been able to get into. I eventually beat S2 in one of those compilations for PS2 (largely thanks to the ability to save), but never beat any of the other classic entries, and the other times I've tried to get into the series I just can't get into the games (Sonic Heroes & Secret Rings). I do have nostalgia for Sonic Adventure 2: Battle too, though that was my friend's game & he did most of the legwork.
While thinking about it, it's probably not as prevalent as I thought (or as it once was), but I have no attraction to the big budget, gritty, post apocalyptic titles like the Last of Us, Days Gone, & the Division that seem to be everywhere.

@RR529 Yeah, I’m not a fan of post-apocalyptic settings either as they seemed to be everywhere in movies, TV and games for a while. The Last of Us would have been a better experience for me with a more interesting setting.
@RR529@nessisonett I actually like a good post-apocalyptic settings in cinema, games, and literature, but I’ve never been a big fan of zombies (or walkers, or freakers, or infected, or biters, or...). In fact, until recently I’ve mostly avoided zombie games except for The Last of Us and The Walking Dead series, even though they were shoehorned into almost every game there for a while. But now I’ve finally caught the zombie bug — I’m going to continue my playthrough of the Resi Evil franchise and plan to eventually play Days Gone.

@Arugula I'll have to google Nightfire. Which one was the Mega Drive one with Timothy Dalton on the cover? Side scroller, you could fight Jaws and Oddjob. Had a lot of fun with that when I was little.
Been meaning to say this for a while and I bet nobody's surprised to hear this after my feelings on FFVII being well known but...
... I don't think much of Chrono Trigger either 😶
The battle system's nice and the trial scene IS good. Plus ya know the whole coining and popularising New game+ is neat but...
Eh I didn't really like any of the characters (Except maybe the cavewoman lady and the science girl) and the plot didn't wow me. Plus the artwork... Well ya know I don't think much of Akira Toriyama's "artistry" 😂
Also Lavos looked kinda dumb despite being a world ending alien (And isn't Jenova from FFVII kinda a rehash of it?)
... I kinda wanna try Chrono Cross though despite not thinking much of CT.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy It was fine in the 16-bit era, but it definitely doesn't hold up as one of the greatest games of all time. And, frankly, isn't as good as Final Fantasy VI. Of course, that won't stop 90's kids online from dragging you over the coals for saying that.
For the record, I'm not a fan of Toriyama's art, either. It's ugly. I like Dragon Quest games IN SPITE of his contributions, frankly.
@Ralizah I’m also not into Toriyama’s art at all. So yeah, Dragon Quest is very much a gameplay and story deal for me as Sugiyama’s a bag of wet flatulence too 😂
Don't kid about such things @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy! If I was sitting on a chair I'd have fallen off it.
@Ralizah Tbh I oscillate between preferring Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger. FF6 has a far better story and characters, but Chrono Trigger is less demanding. Toriyama's character designs are so similar across everything he does, but I do love the monsters in Dragon Quest.
Lol sorry @mookysam but you'll have to fall out that chair! I never kid about finding a "Legendary" game pretty meh!
... To be honest I completely forgot there was man turned into a Frog @Voltan. Not that makes him any better or worse of a character
Dunno why but I actually thought you might be quite big on Chrono Trigger @Ralizah.
-looks away- I uhh... "Sailed the seven seas" to try FFVI about ten or so years ago... I made it about an hour in (I saw Kefka I think at the desert castle place that is destroyed) before getting bored of it and deleting it 😳
And yeah we spoke about the artwork earlier in the year I believe when I ended up trying that super extended demo for DQXI.
... I hated the music so damn much 😅

@nessisonett It's weird, because the gameplay isn't typically anything special, either. And, while I've not played a ton of these games, the stories have been pretty traditional JRPG fare so far.
Sugiyama was no Uematsu, but he did compose some absolutely iconic tracks for the series. But, IMO, he got lazier as time went on. DQXI had hardly any original music in it.
At least now we probably won't have to deal with whoever the new person is not wanting their symphonic compositions to be used in future games.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Nah, I've never fully understood the love for CT. It's... fine. Probably another game where I came to it too late, as I didn't play it until the NDS re-release.
FFVI might be a little slow in places, but it's absolutely a classic, and it has one hell of a mid-game twist. Shockingly dark compared to previous games as well.
In that case, I also came to it late, although not quite as much. I played through the GBA re-release. Which is still, IMO, the definitive version of the game, although maybe the pixel remaster version will become that soon.
You're really not taking to these classic SE JRPGs, eh?
