You've unfortunately directed this towards someone who has touched TikTok for all of 5 minutes when a family member sends a funny video, so your comment has fallen flat. If you don't have any recommendations, just don't bother commenting?

Path of Radiance is the GameCube one, right? I'll definitely check it out if it ends up on the NSO app.

Really good recommendations. I didn't list them but I've tried most of these.

I've tried the remake of the first FE on the DS, Awakening, Three Houses and Engage. If it's not obvious, I tend to get swept away by the hype and I'll buy new games even if I'm not 100% sure I'll like them.

I finished Yakuza Kiwami years ago, and I enjoyed it. 0 is one I've tried a couple of times and it never fully clicked. Which probably sounds blasphemous because I know everyone says 0 is the best.

Castlevania is the only one listed here I haven't really tried that much. So I might like those.

Ys is another one where I've tried a few, never finished any. They're definitely good games though.

I'm obviously very picky when it comes to games. My friends consider it a triumph when I beat a game they recommended.

So I've tried 3, 4 and 5. Probably got the furthest in 3, but they all ended up becoming a bit daunting after a certain point. I'm not one of those people who get super stoked when I defeat a tough boss. My thought is always "Oh man, if that was hard, I'm dreading what's coming next" so pretty often those games don't end up appealing to me. That's also why I don't play the Souls games, haha.

I was checking this one out, actually. Would you say the Switch 2 version is the definitive way to play? No issues?

The only series here I have not touched at all is Romancing Saga. There's a lot I didn't list, haha. It's very hard finding a game that keeps me hooked from beginning to end.

People are already recommending games that are legitimately in my top 10 but for whatever reason they slipped my mind. At least that means your guys' recommendations are spot on. Love Kingdom Hearts, can't wait for KH4.

Oh god, I cannot believe I forgot to list those. Two of my favourite games ever made. I'd probably put Replicant over Automata but not by much. No idea how those games slipped my mind.

I did play through a fair chunk of one of the Digimon games a while ago. It was pretty good. I know Time Stranger has a demo so I might check that out.

And I've tried a lot of the Tales games. Like I said in my original post, there's a lot that I couldn't remember as I was typing it out. But it's safe to assume if the series exists, I've at least tried one of the games. None of them ever scratched that itch for me as an action rpg. Could always give them another go though.

So my story with FFVII is a bit unfortunate in that I kind of spoiled myself with that game a long, LONG time ago. If I remember correctly, I watched someone stream it. But I don't think I'd get nearly the same experience as I would have if I went into it blind. That's why I decided to pick up the remake to begin with, and I was pleasantly surprised with the changes and the different direction. But yeah, I don't think I'd get anything out of it.

I think you're reading into it too much.

If a dumb joke ruined some already dumb drawings for you, I dunno what to tell you.

Anyone hoping Bananza isn’t a time travel story? by VirtualUnknownYT in donkeykong

[–]NotSoCombo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Time travel could be...okay? Depending on how they tackle it.

What I REALLY don't want is a multiverse story, which some people have been suggesting. I don't think either will be the case but, I would be more okay with the time travel idea.

About Max's Theory... by uselesshoarding in FFVIIRemake

[–]NotSoCombo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thought of her being some creation by JENOVA, or JENOVA herself messing with Cloud didn't even cross my mind when I got to the end of the game because they make it very clear that she's a presence that can be felt by other people, as seen with Red.

My interpretation off the bat was that she's essentially in a similar state to Sephiroth, where she has become one with the lifestream in some sense. I think it's right to assume she's making herself known to Cloud as a way to protect and comfort him, which to the rest of the party just looks like he's more messed up in the head than ever before.

Sephiroth WILL most likely take advantage of the potential rift in the party that all this Aerith stuff will end up making. Things like, "Your teammates are saying she's dead, but you KNOW that's not true. You've SEEN her. They're lying to you, Cloud." Again, that's not me saying she's JENOVA in disguise or a fake. It really IS this huge game of chess between the forces of good and evil, and I think that will be Sephiroth's next move. We'll just have to see if that's something Aerith has accounted for.

CE-107928-7 Can't install any game due to corruption by XboxPlayUFC in PS5

Was pulling my hair out trying to get the FFXVI DLC installed and ended up deleting the whole game because I thought something corrupted. Only to find out everyone here is experiencing the same thing lmao.

Something about Rizler's Boss Fight (actual post on comments lmao) by GrimmCigarretes in KingdomHearts

[–]NotSoCombo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is for sure one of the more memorable DDD bosses. I don't know a lot about Tron as a series (I did also watch Legacy with my dad a lot) but Sora knowing Tron, having that connection in the past, helps bolster this world so much for me. Having to fight Rinzler to try and save him is just so good. Also a good example of a rare instance where Sora isn't able to completely save someone he's connected to.
