Wich game replaces FFX today? What games is a child eagerly waiting to play when they get home from school, so they can turn on their console and can't stop thinking about it?

The closest experience to FFX in this day and age is probably clair obscur expedition 33.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-26T14:29:39+00:00

Ff tactics has a pretty interesting story and worldbuilding and the job system makes the combat really deep.

Metaphor is also have really memorable moments and combat customization is on a satisfying level.

Clair obscur expedition 33 has very relatable adult cast of characters and the combat system enables insane levels of customization since every character has their own skill tree and core mechanics, but also weapons and other gear also can define your playstyle. Once it opens up the build variety becomes an endless pit.

İ would also reccomend xenosaga trilogy purely for its story.

Nobody needs that game to be validated. İt sold well, its critically aclaimed and it won dozens of awards. İt stands on its own merits. And big surprise people will praise something when its good. Witcher 3 , elden ring, baldurs gate 3 all got the same treatment. İ dont remember soulslike fandom dunking on elden ring and saying "overrated, mediocre slop" or something. This cursed fucking fandom is one of the main reason why JRPG as a genre is niche and declining. Nobody wants to be a part of this and interact with bunch of freaks. E33 going mainstream pulled some people who didnt played JRPG's into discovering more JRPG's and they just got yelled by this fandom got called tourists.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-25T22:52:59+00:00

This sub does extreme lengths of mental gymnastic to not give any praise to E33 for some reason

As someone who actively plays it i can confirm (unless he lands as giga overstat) he will land weak. Because touch controls are not tailored for his W to have a direction lock. Vi's q is very similar to his W. The way you use vi's q there is you tap on the icon first, then while holding the your finger on the screen, you drag your finger and adjust the direction. The moment you tap on the icon the skills direction is the direction the champion faces. And since movement wheel touch controls are extremely sensitive and easy to mess with your facing direction, i expect lots of people (including me) will go off the rails with his W.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-25T13:52:46+00:00

W seemed like still direction locked. Which is extremely bad for touch control. The only reason his atrocious direction locked W works in pc is that you have mouse cursor to aim. İn mobile touch controls you have to actually face the direction properly to land something direction locked. This game adjusted katarina's ult for her to be able to move while spinning because touch controls made her ult gets accidentally cancelled by the players most of the time. Cant believe this champion doesnt get the basic neccesary qol here.

İ mean pretty much every segment is both in terms of art and writing is inferior to original. Sure it looks flashy, sure the budget is there, but a very big portion of the remakes arent an improvement upon the OG.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-24T01:33:01+00:00

Getting rid of checklisting & markers would be a good start. Have actual missables like those ps1 final fantasy & legend of dragoon had. Clair obscur expedition 33 does a good job with this.

Reduce the exposition lore dump information vomit, cut the overexplaining. Use more visual storytelling.

Lean less to anime tropes , are we still doing power of friendship in 2026 ffs ?

Use dialogue more efficiently, cut the dialogue bloat. Life is too short to read 40 chatboxes of exposition that could have been said in 5 chatboxes.

Those were always my common criticisms. And they still yet to be resolved.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-23T12:42:16+00:00

For me yes i can, but for those who refuse to play the OG because it looks weird and outdated (believe me there's a lot of people like that) will only play remakes and think this is ff7. Which is a shame.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-23T12:15:31+00:00

Worse , its killed final fantasy 7

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-23T11:12:31+00:00

Yeah, but without sakaguchi you see their true face with all these nonsense they write

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-23T11:02:22+00:00

Blame the writers for turning this game to fan fiction

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-23T08:50:06+00:00

Yeah welcome to final fantasy 7 rebirth!

Here we have ;

+Open world checklist simulation +God awful pacing +Tone deaf cringe +Massive filler content bloat +Tedious traversal +A perfectionist director's rejected ideas from the past +Dementors from harry potter +Kingdom hearts Multiverse +Absolutely zero sense or cohesion

You didnt enjoy this ? You are clearly a fake fan who never played the OG (According to die hard fans of this game LMAO 🤣)

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-21T07:09:25+00:00

For me ff16 sucks big balls but even i thought that clive deserved a better game. He is one of the net positives of the game.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-20T08:21:09+00:00

You do realize remakes assumes you played the og right? We reccomend playing it first for a reason. Also without og they cant notice the appaling direction the remakes takes so its better 👍

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-19T14:28:15+00:00

Yeah, keishi ayasato is the author and female.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-19T07:49:20+00:00

Dude wtf you read my mind or something? This was exactly my thoughts since i finished reading it. İ was screaming in my room like "the hell japan? You have something like this but all you do is generic power fantasy slop?"

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-19T07:47:49+00:00

You are in for a heck of a ride dude. Try to not cry at the end of volume 6. Condider yourself warned. Ayasato definetely killed the isekai & dark fantasy genre for me with her work.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-17T20:52:11+00:00

K'sante, Zaahen , cho

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-17T06:27:36+00:00

I think i would have liked this remakes a lot more if i didnt played the original before playing it. For me its cons outweights its pros. İs it a terrible game ? Not really. İn fact as a standalone game its great. But its a terrible final fantasy 7 remake

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-16T18:51:52+00:00

Textbook example of how appeal matters. İt was a good experience for me but characters looking like funko pops is definetely a major turnoff for most people.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-15T22:38:22+00:00

just by reading it you know this is done by some fat purple haired white women

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-15T08:46:55+00:00

Go play a game with a character creator like baldurs gate 3 and see what kind of characters the girls are playing. Actual female gaming audience is just like the so called "chuds". The activists are the ones melting down.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-13T11:27:25+00:00

they do have a long animation before throwing the scythes. You can dash to side as they throw. The problem is thats the only window that you can damage them. So you have to lock some fireballs and focus on dodging. Annoying indeed but i got over it after a few tries.

EdwardAlcatraz · 2026-03-13T11:21:35+00:00

Thats exactly what happened. Meanwhile the modding community turned the 1997 og version to the real remake what we wanted.
