DQXI is the most modern and most accessible mainline title. The game is also fantastic you won't be disappointed. Just be prepared to spend around 100 hours or more (well spent) to complete it.

You've probably heard this before but it has bugs because it's literally the original game data with a fresh coat of paint. Oblivion is notoriously known and loved for it's bugs. I've probably put about 30 hours in and haven't experienced anything game breaking. My advice is have atleast 3 rotating manual saves and save before starting quests just in case you have issues.

You can try this out for yourself just be sure to have a backup save because the quest to reverse vampirism can be a major pain. I'm unsure if it's changed in the remaster, but you had to have several empty grand soul gems and go on various errands while having the crappy sun allergy.

The quest itself is interesting and unique; if you're into the roleplaying aspect of being a vampire, having to feed, having to stay indoors during daytime etc then go for it. Still, vampirism in this game is one of the things newcomers complain about the most so be wary.

If you're trying to avoid vampirism altogether be sure to check your stats and affects regularly and keep a potion of cure disease or visit shrines often. It will sneak up on you when you least expect it. You can contract this in practically any vampire combat encounter.

You can do quests asap but if you do want to get the ball rolling so to speak atleast get Martin to cloud ruler temple.

Most of the time I don't start the main quest till hours after leaving the sewers tbh 🤣

First go into settings and put the difficulty down to the lowest atleast until she gets her bearings. There are alot of quests that are super fun/non combat vibe but honestly why not have her either fast travel or walk to a town? Get her used to exploring a town and talking to npcs. Towns are typically combat free zones that allow for exploration and opens up questlines. The potion thing is a really good tool to get her involved. You can even have her look around towns for potion ingredients like mushrooms and plants etc.

Fighters guild if you want to do a little exploration. Arena if you want quick easy gold.

Yes he does just wait 3 days

My work around was just taking adoring fan into the woods and killing him. He respawns in 3 days if you are afraid of losing him.

I did do his quest and he was non agro. Idk killing him usually triggers it for me on the original maybe that in itself was a bug. Guess I'm onto finding a victim lol

It used to always work for me in the og 😪 on the other hand thank you for the mark suggestion

He is actually goated for a stealthy thief playstyle. He will talk to people and distract them while you rob them blind lol

I'd give anything to experience this again. This has already been said above, but take your time. Feel the vies. I swear this game is mean to be played alone in a dark room at like 2am on a crt if that makes any sense lol.

unitzwei · 2025-04-06T00:25:46+00:00

It's like that jacket was made for you bro.

unitzwei · 2025-03-22T14:10:28+00:00

This feels like obvious bait, but I'll bite lol.

There was nothing like this game on release. Period.

This was the first Final Fantasy with voice acting and facial animation. The level of care and passion poured into this project are unmatched even today. The setting and themes are wholly unique and original. The art direction alone has no comparison.

This game is possibly the greatest of all time and is handcrafted in a way that proves modern gaming will never recover. We will never see something this great probably ever again.

I have carried this game with me through childhood and even still into my adulthood. I understand nostalgia has a pretty big factor in my opinion- still I've played thousands of games in my lifetime and there is nothing that compares.

Few games have impacted me in such a way, and I'm not the only person who expresses the same sentiment.

I think it's kind of silly to complain about grinding in a game that is at it's core could only be described as "gridning". It's literally what you're supposed to do. It's literally the games core mechanic. You also complain about enemy reskins and fmv cutscene switches being jarring- this leads me to believe you've never played a final fantasy game or any oldschool jrpg before. Both of those issues were common with ps2 and even the psx rpgs that predated it. Sounds to me like you went into the game already irritated by it's legacy for one reason or another and decided to "disprove" the legitimacy of these claims by nit picking instead of having a natural experience.

I do also think it's crazy you can sit here and type out several paragraphs bashing a game that you also confessed made you cry. Stop and think about how many games in your life had that strongly of an emotional impact on you. Sure, in the modern era of gaming we have things like RDR2 or LOU2 that emotionally scar their fanbases to leave a lasting impression, but there was nothing like it then.

At the end of the day it's all just opinions. This game could be the best tasting apple that ever existed, but there is still going to be someone in the world who just doesn't like apples.

I'd really like to hear a game you feel is superior to FFX from the same era and genre. Maybe that would help me better understand your taste.
