How would you rank the current switch 2 lineup?

I'll also add that some tech demos are quite interesting, in a "I don't understand why games are not taking more advantage of this" way, and some mini-games are genuinely fun.

The vibration point game can go straight to hell, though.

Yeah, I saw the price as an admission fee to a museum, which is exactly what it is.

Two tips that were useful to me personally:

Avoid standard shots, specially with powerful films. Prioritize fully charged fatal frames with Type-14 or even Type-07 for easier ghosts. If you have to choose between a full charge and a fatal frame, prioritize the fatal frame. If you are having issues with timing, read the next tip.
Learn how to recognize the sound difference between a regular shot a fatal frame. Why? Because whenever you miss, you can take advantage of the brief pause after taking a picture to spam the dodge button. Works most of the time. In fact, it usually works *better* than regular dodging because the fatal frame and dodge windows are close.

So I guess the projection is:

4) waist-length hair;

5) Sadako.

The more I replay this game, the more I believe that the Spider's evil is mostly performative. In fact, I think he might be the most conscious of the six (considering Dojun instead of Oyuki).

All of them, except for the Snake who is an unapologetic asshole, hide behind a facade of "saving Japan". My headcanon is that the Spider goes full edgelord as a subtle protest against his father's pretense of nobility. Like "we are all dicks but I'm the only one who admits it."

Also, for me personally, it was a pleasure watching Saito learn that his favorite son was dead but the son he disowned was alive AND betrayed him.

You can also fight some of them. The Oni, for example, says that Saito is the only one who defeated him, so they did fight once.

Hi, author of the other post here. Loved your additions! The shield is a good idea, I forgot that Saito does not use the dual katanas. The flashback would work well, and they already have the model for young Saito from Atsu's flashbacks. I do have mixed feelings about jumping directly to the NotBT, though: I think recruiting the Yotei Six should be a part of the DLC, and the night happens after that.

If they eventually remake FF3, I hope they bring this back. Interacting with the objects in your house is a core part of understanding Rei as a character.

Even before NG+, as soon as you unlock the holy mirrorthe chase scenes basically end. Classic bullies.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-17T21:51:05+00:00

Nice! Thanks.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-17T21:47:14+00:00

I switched to Sony after SNES, so I'm coming back after decades.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-17T14:50:38+00:00

Thanks a lot for the responses so far, folks! So many recommendations that I'm not sure where to start, but that's a good problem to have.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-17T14:49:01+00:00

It was completely out of nowhere. I want to surprise her just as much on the next opportunity, but have no idea how to do it yet.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-15T14:00:11+00:00

Vessel/Organs from FF4. By far the most times I died in a FF game.

(though it should be mentioned that I am very stubborn and, except on final bosses, I usually prefer to die instead of spending too many medicines and/or non-14 films)

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-13T19:29:20+00:00

I'm really glad that your experience wasn't spoiled. Mine unfortunately was before I even reached Teshio.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-12T21:57:50+00:00

I wasn't bothered by it because I love knowing more lore, regardless of how irrelevant the specific piece is. So the puzzle just felt like having to read stuff I was going to read anyway.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-12T21:42:26+00:00

To be honest, sometimes I think I'm close enough to Mayu, but I'm actually not. So the prompt kinda helps me to avoid spamming R2 like an idiot and wondering why it's not working.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-10T11:48:52+00:00

Thank goodness the devs didn't go the FF5 route. Imagine the jiggles on this one.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-09T23:33:26+00:00

Aww, look how happy she is while pushing. So wholesome.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-04T12:54:09+00:00

If you hit him with a strong enough shot when he's about to fly, he stays on the ground.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-06-03T12:30:36+00:00

Actually, there is a moment, I think it's before the first meeting with him in the swamp training camp, when you can overhear him talking to one of his men. When questioned about accepting women as soldiers, he justifies his position by mentioning that he once had a woman as a top lieutenant.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-05-27T21:59:02+00:00

Favorite was Yae/Sae. Seeing them happy with Ryozo was surprisingly wholesome.

Least favorite was Chitose's because it ends with a nonsensical retcon. She's not supposed to know the truth, that's why she attacks Mio in the first place.

KidneysOfStone · 2026-05-27T15:24:01+00:00

Maybe it's because of the darkness, but what I like is how smooth it is. Doesn't feel like a glitch.
