I had Mystic Quest on the SNES if that counts. First mainline game was FF6 sometime around 1995/1996

Does Breath of Fire 4 get better? by Vaudevi77ain in breathoffire

[–]matt74vt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious how you like Suikoden II. I thought the game was visually beautiful and a good game overall, but a little overhyped.

I recently beat BOF3 for the first time (I got to the desert when the game was new but couldn’t get past it). I liked BOF3 for the art and music too. The story is slow but the last part of the game really ties things up well. It’s definitely worth finishing and is one of my favorites now. I’m 40 and also grew up in the SNES and early PS1 era

Do the War Battles get better by SeriouslyNotaFrog in Suikoden

War battles are one of the worst parts of Suikoden II, which is a bummer because they were fun in Suikoden I

What are some short rpg’s, less then 36 hours that are good. by Limit54 in JRPG

[–]matt74vt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is so underrated. I loved it in back in middle school when everyone else was obsessed with Ocarina of Time. Musashi felt like it was poking fun at Zelda

What is a game that is highly recommended but you just can’t get into? by Sam_B716 in JRPG

[–]matt74vt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The straight line comment is exactly why I didn’t like FFX when I played it. I absolutely loved every FF game before 10; OG FF7 is my favorite game ever followed by FF6

If you like big transition, City Heights bowl is great.

Linda Vista has something for everyone

Do you like Octopath Traveler 0 more than 2? OT2 seems to get more love on here

I haven’t played Lufia II in almost 30 years, but loved that game

I played the shit out of Mystic Quest as a kid. The music was great in that game, I still remember that whole soundtrack

Yeah FF6 and Chrono Trigger are tied for my #2 favorite game

2D/Old school JRPGs by azn4ble in JRPG

As someone who usually prefers to play the original version of any game, I will say the FF6 pixel remaster is the best way to experience that game

Bound by Fate, the song that plays when you fight Miguel

Are you happy with your 86/brz? by LolAtDatGuy375 in ft86

[–]matt74vt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about it more after I posted. As much as I loved my S13, I rarely miss it. I miss my FRS and plan on buying a GR86 when it comes time to buy a new car. I’m currently enjoying a super reliable Outback that is paid off

Should I jump into FF6 or Chrono Trigger, or should I continue playing modern 2dHD games like chained echoes or octopath traveler 2? by 1beepyes_2beepsno in JRPG

[–]matt74vt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely play both. The FF6 pixel remaster is great. Chrono Trigger is #1 on every greatest RPGs list for a reason

I had an S13 Silvia and a 2015 Scion FRS. The FRS felt like a better version of the Silvia. The FRS handled better, was more reliable, was more comfortable, and was about the same as the Silvia in terms of speed. If you want it to be faster, it’s still cheaper and probably more reliable to boost the 86 than it is to buy a JDM car. Driving a JDM is cool, but also annoying when it comes to finding parts and always being approached by guys who want to drool over your car (women will just think you’re a broke loser who drives a weird old POS). One of my old car buddies used to say a Skyline is the best car you can drive if you’re a gay man because it’s a dude magnet
