@PuppetMaster Yeah for me classic is Final Fantasy I-X since they are very close when it comes to feel, while FF XI-XVI are nothing alike with each other.
I got 13 out of 15, nice. The only ones I did get wrong was where in what region the PS5 was released 1 week after and if the launch PS5 is heavier than launch PS3.
@Nepp67 Just because it was considered the best it doesn't mean that it was. I played FF14 and found it boring, Phantasy Star Online 2 is a much better MMORPG.
Final Fantasy X is great, but the lack of a more open field that we could explore, that we can't fly with an airship and the badly designed minigames made me not putting the game in my Top 5 Final Fantasy games.
I bought Metaphor because I didn't believe that SEGA and ATLUS would release a definite edition later believing it would get DLCs instead sincePersona 3 Reload got DLCs as well instead a definite version. But I might be wrong.
I'm fine with my PlayStation 5 for now, I don't think I will need a PlayStation 6 in a near future, but you never know I don't think the PlayStation 5 will be my last console but I have no need right now to buy a new system.
In my opinion the PlayStation 6 should be released in 2030 in the earliest but Sony most likely will release it in 2028.
Also I love my PlayStation 5 library. Most of them aren't exclusive, but games are games, even though most of them are retro.
@Ainu20 Unfortunately that's true, but it would be still nice to add them.
There are also some games that were released for PlayStation that still have to released on modern PlayStation, like the Wild Arms games I mentioned, Alundra, Folklore or Breath of Fire 3 and 4.
If RPGs like Skies of Arcadia, Wild Arms 4 and 5, Chrono Trigger, the Breath of Fire games, Lufia, Baiten Kaitos, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey would come to PlayStation that would be amazing.
Or platfomers like MegaMan the Wily Wars, the Mickey Illusion games would also be neat.
Would love merchandise of Alundra, Gravity Rush, Wild Arms, Legend of Dragoon, Arc the Lad, Freedom Wars, Ape Escape Jeane D'Arc, but unfortunately SONY doesn't have confidence in those IPs.
This doesn't seem as bad as Circana makes it seem doesn't seem as different as my childhood when my parents bought me only 2 games a year (once for my birthday and another on Christmas). They should show numbers instead of percentages.
That being said, I still buy games but day 1 purchases are rare, not only because of money, but also because there are still many games that were released long ago that I still have to play. Plus I am one of those 1% of gamers who still replay their favourite single player games, even this year I replayed a couple.
The Olympics committee asking SEGA to come back. Well anyway I'm happy that this partnership continues, I wonder if we're getting more Sonic & Mario in the Olympic Games, maybe not because of that ad.
@ErrantRob The combat is turn based, but also exciting, because movement and the position of your characters is important and you can attack your enemies multiple times depending how close of your enemy you are. Learning curve is difficult but if you understand how the combat works it's fun in my opinion.
Story isn't bad, but I don't think it's well told. If you want the platinum you have to play 2 play throughs, but doing the new game + you can beat the story in 2-3 hours (yeah the game is very grindy). Just keep in mind many story NPC's are weird, maybe it's because in the way the citizens live in the game, weird though that's only the rich who don't act normal.
What made me return to the game, is the combat, which is clearly the highlight of the game.
@ErrantRob For the PS3 version I guess bad marketing and some competitions in the same month RoF was released like Bayonetta, Darksiders and Mass Effect 2.
PS4 version was simply a release which usually don't sell as well as in the debut.

Re: Five Years of PS5 - How Well Do You Know Sony's Console?
@PuppetMaster Or Alundra, Gravity Rush, Legend of Dragoon, Ape Escape.

Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
Seems weird comparing a 12 month sales with a 6 month one but it's still good news to see the PS5 selling well.
PlayStation is the strongest console brand in Europe so this isn't surprising but after 5 years seeing it still being strong is fantastic news indeed.
I wonder if PS5 will sell close to PS4 numbers, if not out selling it.
Re: Video: All the PS5 Games We Think Are 10/10
Astro Bot is a 11/10.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
@PuppetMaster FFVII is classic though. Unless you're talking about the Retrilogy which aren't the same games.
Re: Five Years of PS5 - How Well Do You Know Sony's Console?
@PuppetMaster Making quizzes, about PlayStation games that Sony doesn't do anything anymore would be nice.

Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
@Nepp67 It was luck, but I will stop talking about FFXIV because this article is about FFX.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
@Nepp67 FFXIV was a one time thing and a luck one. Every other modern FF failed and the majority of Final Fantasy fans want turn based combat back.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
@Nepp67 Just because it was considered the best it doesn't mean that it was. I played FF14 and found it boring, Phantasy Star Online 2 is a much better MMORPG.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
@johncalmc It is.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
@Nepp67 FF14 is declining in popularity and the franchise as whole is for years.
Re: PS5 Sales in Japan Quadruple as New Model Launches
Great news to see the PlayStation doing better over there. I hope Sony recovers some ground if the PlayStation 6 comes with a portable device.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
@Nepp67 Sure and let the franchi's profits shrink even more with later games.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
@Rich33 Mainline Final Fantasy should always be single player turn based games.
Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
Final Fantasy X is great, but the lack of a more open field that we could explore, that we can't fly with an airship and the badly designed minigames made me not putting the game in my Top 5 Final Fantasy games.
But it's a good game.
Final Fantasy IX is the best though.
Still Chrono Trigger beats any Final Fantasy.
Re: SEGA Actually Admits Persona 5 Royal-Style Re-Releases May Result in Stunted Game Sales
@OwenOtter Yes, they did. It's called Ys X Proud Nordics.

Re: 'Financial Viability Is a Big Deal': Emulation Studio on Why More Retro Games Aren't Coming to PS Plus Premium
@4fold I'm waiting to start the game for years XD.
Re: 'Financial Viability Is a Big Deal': Emulation Studio on Why More Retro Games Aren't Coming to PS Plus Premium
@4fold Sad to hear, if it's common then there might have been a problem with copying the data to the disc. Or do you mean the treatment?
Re: 'Financial Viability Is a Big Deal': Emulation Studio on Why More Retro Games Aren't Coming to PS Plus Premium
@4fold Same, I would buy Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. I always wanted to play those.

Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
Now this is what I want to see, not much hope for a reveal of Sony's own Japanese games though.
Re: PS Portal Gets So Much Better Today in Huge UI, Cloud Streaming Update
I wish it would also run physical games, but that's unfortunately too much to ask.
That being said it's amazing how this system surpassed everyone's expectations, even Sony's.
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 Arrives on PS5 with New Single Player Mode and a $10 Upgrade Path
@Stepan Sorry, for the late reply.
This is true but I do think since the new Virtua Fighter is made by Ryu Ga Gotoku there is a strong possibility that it can be a success.
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 Arrives on PS5 with New Single Player Mode and a $10 Upgrade Path
The love Virtua Fighter is getting lately is awesome. I hope this momentum will last for a long time.
Re: PlayStation Is Trying to Scrub Any Mention of Its Failed Concerts from the Internet
Either it's the price of the tickets or the Music isn't memorable. Or both.
Meanwhile the Sonic Symphonic concerts are a hit.
Re: 'Astro Bot Has So Much Potential': Sony Merch Boss Predicts Big Things for Platformer
@PuppetMaster Yes those ones.
And yes Classic PlayStation needs to come back.
Re: 'Astro Bot Has So Much Potential': Sony Merch Boss Predicts Big Things for Platformer
@PuppetMaster I remember figures of Rebecca and Avril from Wild Arms 5. We need those franchise back or Folklore.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 'Will Be Loved by Everyone', Says Director
Nice confidence, but I doubt that will happen.

Re: Mega Man, NiGHTS to Join the Roster of Sonic Racing CrossWorlds on PS5, PS4
After seeing Pac-Man I was sure Mega-Man would be next. I wish it would have been .EXE but it's obviously Classic who will drive.
Not interested in the others, but if available separately I will buy Pac-Man and Mega Man
I wish Sparkster from the Rocket Knight games would be there as well, but unfortunately he never had a chance.
Nights was a given in my opinion. Most popular non Sonic character made by Sonic Team.

Re: An Unthinkable Amount of Mega Man Is Coming to PS5, PS4 in New Star Force Collection
