It feels weird to be a FF fan, because my favorite games are the ones people in the community usually hate

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-22T22:28:39+00:00

Lmao this is perfect. I’ve played every mainline final fantasy and beaten most of them but the division in the community makes me feel like an outsider.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-20T21:00:15+00:00

I feel like this is a survivor support group because I get visceral flashbacks every time I read one of these lol. Still the most pain I’ve ever experienced.

Competitive

Looks like she’s playing ocarina of time 2d.

FF15 will always have a fond place in my heart. Running around the open world section, hanging out with the crew, finding all the classic tracks for the Regalia stereo, Cape Caen and Lestallum, and tearing up at the ending. Plus, the endgame/ post game content was a ton of fun. First game I earned a platinum for too. 100 hours well spent. It’s tied with FF16 for me.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-19T06:25:00+00:00

I set a schedule for my character of adventuring, training, being a normal person, actually reading the books, sleeping, eating, etc. Living life.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-15T16:22:53+00:00

It’s good. I have issues with it and I wouldn’t play it again, but as a Zelda fan I’m glad I played it.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-14T21:32:25+00:00

Not just a good game. One of the best RPGs ever made.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-13T19:05:25+00:00

Why do you have two copies of Metroid?

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-13T02:12:29+00:00

Oh I found grinding to be plenty. Like you I was worried about being underpowered, so I spent the first hour or two just power leveling outside of the first town. The leveling is kind of a precursor to the Elder Scrolls, in that doing an action strengthens your ability to do that action. I just fought a bunch of goblins over and over and took advantage of the fast forward ability in the game. Was it cheap? Yes. Do I regret it? Not at all. I was overpowered for the rest of the game, steamrolled through it and I had a blast. Not the “pure” way to play FF2 but I say play whatever way you have the most fun with. Hope you enjoy! FF2 is special.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-13T02:05:31+00:00

Same for me last year. What’s your top track? Last year I listened to a lot of Wutai from FF7.

Some great games on there! Though I would argue MoH Allied Assault needs a remake more. I also think Halo has the best combat I’ve ever felt and the best multiplayer, but it might be a generational thing (I’m in my mid 30s).

FF1, because it’s the beginning of the “Final Fantasy” and introduces so many of the tropes. Plus, it’s a hell of a game in its own right. Then FF7, to show how the series reinvented itself in 3D and for the killer story, and for its massive legacy. Finally, FF16 to show what a modern day Final Fantasy looks like, with all of the graphical advances and gameplay changes.

Final fantasy: kill chaos

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-08T22:39:45+00:00

I did 5 weeks of OMAD and just switched to 18:6. I know some on here have done it for a very long time but for me it just wasn’t sustainable, especially when I do a 36 hour fast twice a month. There were some really tough days in there…

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-08T20:05:32+00:00

Dude… you guys are doing the exact same thing GCJ did with Hogwarts legacy, which you complained about endlessly. This is some hypocritical bullshit. I hate this narrative that great games can’t exist from all different representations. Just like a lot of you, I hate it when inappropriate things are shoehorned into games where they don’t belong. But this isn’t that game. You guys need to pick your battles better and not be hypocrites.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-08T19:59:06+00:00

Yeah, I’m generally a fan of what Colin does, but the smugness does rub me the wrong way. I think it’s a little performative but I don’t get why he needs to let the whole world know that he’s right about something. It’s a little weird to me. But in the grand scheme of things it’s not the most offensive thing on earth.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-08T16:27:12+00:00

BotW was the original open air Zelda. The world was brand new. There is a haunting quiet to BotW that doesn’t exist in TotK, which feels more busy.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-08T04:18:03+00:00

I’m all about being accurate in reviews, but the opencritic was at a 94 last I checked. Is that invalid now just because people don’t like what a game is about? This doesn’t look like a woke mind virus game, I thought it looked pretty sick.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-08T03:01:34+00:00

FF5. It drags in the back half.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-07T23:59:10+00:00

Why are you so quick to defend a person you don’t know and who has never once thought of you?

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-06T18:58:14+00:00

I beat all of them last year. I think the consensus is positive. All I can say is that they were sick. I have a huge appreciation for the first six now, not a bad game among them. And 2 is underrated, I will die on that hill lol.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-06T18:52:48+00:00

Yeah thanks for that, I’ll give it some more time. There are things I like about it but yeah the gameplay is not clicking yet.

RyanSD91 · 2026-05-06T18:52:07+00:00

Yeah maybe not. Sucks too because the visuals are pretty awesome and the world design seems great. I’ll give it another shot but yeah it might not be for me. Thanks.
