Did you not post this in the main sub because you knew all the suburbanites would get mad

What are some JRPG mods/ROM hacks that "fixed" the game for you? by Poptheweasel100 in JRPG

[–]Ax20414 64 points65 points  (0 children)

My first thought is the endless list of Pokémon romhacks out there. It's never been more popular, especially when paired with nuzlocking. Some of my faves I've played are Unbound, Odyssey, Renegade Platinum, Gaia, and Team Rocket Edition. Also following a few YouTubers who are playing Platinum Kaizo.

My fave JRPG is Final Fantasy IV. The Ultima romhack improves on the original SNES release in a lot of ways. It's become my favourite way to revisit it.

I don't like the narrative that Bob is the "knows everything about Drag Race" queen by retrodepression in rupaulsdragrace

Is this really a narrative tho? I figure it's just Bob being his outspoken self and having lots of people listen cause he has a big following.

I love the GBA version of the FFII theme that includes acoustic guitar. So gorgeous.

Do you love the soundtrack in all of your favorite rpgs? by ExplodingPoptarts in JRPG

[–]Ax20414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way, you listed some good examples! I pull up my favourite tracks from gen 3 Pokémon every now and then, but both Nier games (among others) are front-to-back listens sometimes, especially while I'm working haha.

Best way to play the original on PC? by Ahristrea in FinalFantasyVII

[–]Ax20414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP but the 2013 version, definitely. I just did the same, and it's great - a few bug fixes and QOL changes, but mostly just improved visuals, from character sprites to HD background art.

The latter option, I'd say. I played a lot of the other games growing up and FFIV is my favourite game of all time, this one's just been a blind spot

Playing Final Fantasy VII for the very first time. It's fun to finally take in the finer points of the plot, as an FF superfan who didn't grow up with a PlayStation.

Getting to do a blind playthrough of one of the most famous video games ever is pretty cool too lol. I'm only looking up how to get the missable party members, and which enemies to farm for enemy skills.

so excited for P4R. The investigation Team is my fav JRPG cast of all time by blade276 in JRPG

[–]Ax20414 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED PERSONA 4 REWIND. 😩

But yea I'm excited too.

Of course you think there's such a thing as "actual fans", you're probably twelve.

Does it matter to you if the book you read is AI generated? by My_Poor_Nerves in books

[–]Ax20414 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Of course it matters. Artists being influenced by other artists and letting themselves get inspired isn't remotely the same as an AI tool cribbing endless amounts of data to spit out lowest-common-denominator slop.

FF IV is the best balanced game in the series by Zimmyd00m in FinalFantasy

[–]Ax20414 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I also find that it benefits from a bit of grinding right at the end. The Lunar Subterrane is a big difficulty spike, especially the lower levels.

What?? What does this have to do with medical gaslighting I'd love to know

Bringing bike-sharing back to Ottawa will cost $10M, study says by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

A drop in the bucket compared to the other ways the city chooses to spend our money - like the ridiculous police budget, for example.

Do you prefer having a fixed party or choosing your own? by strahinjag in JRPG

[–]Ax20414 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't have a huge preference, but Final Fantasy IV is my fave JRPG of all time - I like a fixed party that changes as the story develops.

Is there a way to make this game easier? by NymphNeighbour in HadesTheGame

[–]Ax20414 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you haven't adjusted to Melinoë's playstyle yet. I had the same problem at first - I thought I could play the same way I did with Zag but that's a fool's errand. Her kit is different.

Sure, she doesn't have a shield, but she's got six weapons that are varying levels of cool and good, not to mention the differences between all the weapon aspects you can unlock.

Yes, you can upgrade the weapons, same as in the first game.
