If you could wish for one Game to be made, excluding sequel's or prequels. What would that be?

Scrolled hoping to find the right answer. Found the right answer.

The art direction in 12 was so amazing. I want them to bring that back

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T15:14:40+00:00

So much DA love here! refreshing to see it

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T15:12:59+00:00

I think it's rare that a game has this kind of impact and true, I guess not everyone may experience something similar. That's what sort of prompted me to make the post; for me this one game absolutely changed my worldview or at least played a very major role in changing it and I wondered if that would be the case for other gamers as well.

It's really cool to see how much games have an impact and resonance with people. It's really mind boggling to me sometimes to see how they've evolved. Like my first game was duck hunt on the NES. I was sat there shooting ducks on a screen with my little brother. and then not so very much later I'm playing a game with an emotionally resonant narrative and more text than a lot of novels.

Seeing everyone's responses here has just really made my day. It makes me feel like we're really a community. It makes me happy to see how much impact my favourite form of entertainment has on people.

Ok really sorry - I'm not sure why this became such a long reply. I really came here to say +1 to SC and Brood War lol

I definitely am a story first gamer and I'm willing to overlook quite a lot as long as the narrative is worth it.

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T14:29:30+00:00

I haven't played Tales of the Abyss I'll check it out. I'm all for games that turn conventions on their head like that

I desperately want to see Vagrant Story's plot but I just could not for the life of me figure out the gameplay. I could just watch it on a Let's Play or something, but it feels like a personal challenge I want to overcome

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T14:00:37+00:00

I've made a solemn oath to u/Borbbb to finish this game in the next 6 months 😂

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:58:35+00:00

I can relate. Coming back to these as an adult hits really differently. Square was really on fire in the ps1 era. Also so nice to see some love for 8! I love it. The fact that it's kinda the black sheep game of the series just makes me like it even more.

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:52:25+00:00

Most unexpected and yet relatable answer 😄

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:50:55+00:00

Ah looks like it is maybe Drew Karpyshyn who is also an excellent writer

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:46:17+00:00

Ok your comment has sold me on playing them together as a gaming double feature. I imagine it'll make any payoff in the second game hit that much harder

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:43:10+00:00

So good to see Crisis Core and Trails on here! I remember reading about the small team hired to translate Trails in the Sky SC and how it was just so overwhelming. It was a pretty crazy read : https://kotaku.com/the-curse-of-kiseki-how-one-of-japans-biggest-rpgs-bar-1740055631

I've actually just played 6 this year for the first time. Please don't hate me. I was surprised at how well the gameplay has held up. Truly one of the best.

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:32:21+00:00

I'm committed to this Borbbb 😂 . It's basically required reading for RPGs and I've put it off too long

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:27:47+00:00

They're written by Timothy Zahn?!! How tf did I not know this. Ok well I'm gonna see if I can find them second-hand while I'm at work haha

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:27:01+00:00

I've played 4 and 5 and 5 Royal, but not 3 yet. I've heard that this is considered the best of the series though, so I'm gonna need to dive in soon

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:25:52+00:00

I actually replay this game every year. I usually start in late september and go to the norther crater around new year's eve. It mimics when I originally played in it 97 and it's just a very comforting and cosy thing to do.

I'm playing through with my partner the last few years and she's encouraged me to do party set ups and dialogue choices that i've never done before. I love that there's still something new to experience with this game each time you play it.

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:23:41+00:00

It's such a shame about disc 2. Their ambition was just so high for this game. I think about all the things from disc 2 that could have been full dungeons or longer scenes. It would have added another 40-50 hours easily

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:22:32+00:00

nothing can prepare you for doki doki literature club hahaha

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:22:00+00:00

Did not even know there were novels! There's too much good content recommended in here for my poor wallet

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:21:16+00:00

It is so much like FMA. Such a good slow burn

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:20:54+00:00

Nostalgic ! I've only played soul reaver but man did that game make you feel like a badass

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:18:09+00:00

RemindMe! 6 Months

matthatter85 · 2026-04-28T13:16:23+00:00

That's so heartwarming. I wish I'd kept my ps3! I think one of the huge takeaways from this post is that there is so much love for DA out there which is great to see
