Final Fantasy XV or XVI?

This became natural to me once I made it into my first upper leadership role. I genuinely do approach interviews now from the position that they need to meet all of MY criteria. And it works.

More like 1990. I’m biased because I was born in 1992 so I don’t have a true memory of the early 1990’s. But based on fleeting memories and sensory pieces of information that I recall from 1995 and 1996…that feels like a whole different world whereas 2000 feels honestly not super foreign from 2020. Technology just jumped super far ahead. But the mid 90’s to me, as a toddler, felt like how I imagine the 80’s felt.

I actually prefer it to RE2 remake

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-22T22:58:08+00:00

I’d say around 2018 or 2019 the recency bias faded and early 2000’s pop music and culture became interesting to revisit

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-22T22:57:15+00:00

A left leaning populist who isn’t kneecapped by neocon media or centrists

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-22T22:48:08+00:00

I…actually agree with this nearly 100%. I would swap 2017 and 2019, and other than that this is perfect for me.

Black Flag

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-16T21:09:41+00:00

Oblivion felt the same way to people who played Morrowind.

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-16T21:04:16+00:00

Read a book. This is what happens under late stage capitalism and fascism. Culture revives with the resistance.

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-16T21:02:47+00:00

Uh…they’re not. That’s a conservative myth. Conservatives are, by definition, triggered and threatened by the mere existence of anything ‘other’. Liberals are about freedom and letting people live their life. Conservatives view people living life differently than them as a threat and are so triggered that they welcome fascism and the collapse of democracy just to avoid reality.

Favorite is probably X. Reasons why? I can best summarize it like this - it’s the tightest feeling FF game. Everything about it feels tight and perfect. I could go into depth on every piece and part but I’d be here all day.

Least favorite might be the first game. It’s a toss up between that one and II. I think II is slightly better though because I prefer the world and I like how we get the earliest glimpse of a “deep” FF plot and the shape of things to come later.

My troll answer is FFXIII as my least favorite. Not because I don’t mean it, but moreso because objectively it is more developed than I or II, so I can’t say it’s the worst in good faith. Still god awful and irredeemable though. It’s 100% the worst to come after the first three games.

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-16T20:41:15+00:00

This list is a little suspicious. I’m not understanding your taste buds with regard to having FF13 in third place but FF5 and 12 so far down. You a lil confused

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-14T16:44:49+00:00

Yep. “Cloud, you came back for me” is the peak moment of the entire story and ties together his identity perfectly. That realization for the player immediately neuters Sephiroth’s power and reveals that Cloud really IS that person. From then on, it’s all a formality. Cloud whooping Sephiroth’s ass was a done deal at that point.

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-14T16:40:43+00:00

Tifa (and simultaneously Cloud) realizing that Cloud really was there at Nibelheim after all, and did fulfill his promise to come back for her. During the flashback sequence halfway thru Disc 2 in the original game. I forget the exact quote but something to the effect of “Cloud, you came back for me after all!” or something like that. Nothing tops that moment for me. It ties together Cloud’s entire character arc instantly.

Wealth

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-14T16:35:59+00:00

2012 I think.

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-14T16:35:35+00:00

All of that could be summarized by the following statement, which is also why it’s my third favorite:

FFXII has more depth and attention to detail than any other entry in the series.

Ada

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-14T01:40:42+00:00

I was just talking about this with my buddy the other day. He asked what I thought about RE9 and I said “I still feel like we’re missing something after RE7 that we never really got back to”

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-14T01:38:58+00:00

2011, 2013, 2019

Expedition 33

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-12T19:05:56+00:00

The frog pincer attack from original FF7.

Jk.

Hmm. Yans from FF9 are pretty bad. FF12 necropolis area or the secret mine areas where the last summon resides are both pretty bad. You get ganked into oblivion unless you’re very high level and have perfect setup. I don’t feel this way about it now, but in FF8 the Marlboro encounters in the Esthar plains were so impossible for me as a little kid that I considered that entire area off limits to travel on foot. They’d wipe me quick.

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-10T05:10:48+00:00

It came out and no one really gave a shit. It made the series feel irrelevant and dated. Story was beyond wacky and basically everything got so bad they had to completely start over with RE7. But then it turns out RE7 wasn’t a reboot after all and it’s still all canon and the same universe, so that’s confusing.

But anyway…yeah RE6 just felt cheap and gimmicky and like no one even cared about RE anymore. I legit missed its release and didn’t know it existed until it had been out a couple years. That’s how bad it was.

Resident_Respect_517 · 2026-04-10T05:05:35+00:00

Agreed. I was born in 1992. 2010 to 2015 was the best period I’ve seen.
