People outside of the game's target audience got drawn in by the buzz and were unprepared for a game that is designed for those who had already mastered the original, IMO

So you have:
- defensive sword-and-board guy
- fast/aggressive melee user with great movement
- sword-and-magic all-rounder
- precision gimmick melee guy
- wholly ranged fighter
- slow but strong melee fighter with large melee range

Soren is a Branded, who age extremely slow, so he probably will just look like he's in his 20s.

The map design in the game is really good but the enemies are ridiculously weak. If the game ever gets a remake (doubtful) I hope they make the enemies stronger, because the second half of the game can basically be done on autopilot

Devil May Cry 2, probably? Piteous game. I feel bad for the people who worked on it.

Also, Metroid prime was the very first video game I ever played as a kid so I might have a skewed opinion of it lol

My number one rule for all 3 prime games is to turn off the objective hints. The structure is still pretty linear but at least it helps maintain the illusion 😅
Each game has a non-linear "key hunt" near the end, at least.

There is no game I hate more in this world than Dissidia NT. There are many worse games than Dissidia NT. But there is no game I hate more

Magic Flash used to suck so bad, they basically remade the entire ability in a patch. Maybe the worst-feeling finisher in the entire series

AFAIK 1 through 5 had an equipment weight stat that reduced the wearer's effective agility

I get why we use the name, but it's completely non-descriptive to someone who doesn't know what the genre is or how it works.

Considering that another comment said a Dragon Ball game, and you reacted as if it's on the mark, here are my guesses:
- Ultimate Battle 22
- Final Bout
- Taiketsu
- Budokai 1
- Ultimate Tenkaichi

The only thing I really think ReMind "fixed" is adding an explorable Scala ad Caelum. It definitely feels like you were supposed to explore it in the main game but it got cut for time

FF3 DS was my very first FF game! It holds a very special place in my heart

The @geekkun.bsky.social · Sep 19

Other M isn't even that bad of a game. It has a bad story but the gameplay is Fine™️

When you finally find an actual reason to dislike something that before was only out of pointless negativity

The Pixel Remaster version of "Deep Under the Water" (also known as "The Nautilus") from FF3 is genuinely one of the best songs ever made for the FF series.

"This game doesn't respect my time" = "everything takes me a long time to clear/figure out because I'm not very good"

It's much closer to the combat in the Arkham games. But I guess the mere concept of combos = DMC even if the actual flow of combat isn't remotely similar

I liked, but didn't love, the 3DS version - never played the PS1 version, but apparently the 3DS already streamlined the game a lot. If that's the case, then the PS1 version is probably brutal lol

The @geekkun.bsky.social · Sep 13

I simply hate the fact that hitting enemies bounces you away. It fucks with me so bad.

I'm cautiously optimistic about a more open world plan. My hypothesis is that, rather than using elevators to travel between biomes, you'll use the bike to go between biome exits as you please, rather than the strict two-way elevators of past titles.
