| KCF0107 08/21/17 10:27:48 PM #117 | 1. Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King DQVIII simply put made me feel the widest array of emotions that I have felt not just in a JRPG, but possibly in any video game. This doesn't specifically apply to its world, visuals, sound, or narrative but the mutualistic relationship they have with each other that results one breathtaking experience. It features a world that is vibrant as it is ominous, a tale that is as whimsical as it is somber, visuals that are striking as they are modest, and music that is serene as it is unsettling. Any lesser game would have tonal issues all over the place with such divergent themes and goals, but DQVIII absolutely nails it. It is because of this that they can survive having a cast where 95% of them are merely narrative devices as the ethos, logos, and pathos connected to their implementation never failed to elicit a response from me. Whether or not it is the intended response (this isn't exactly an ambiguous game) is not my concern. There's one aspect of this game that seemingly would cause the game to stumble. I already mentioned that battle systems are one of the most important factors for me (I'm sure that describes everyone), and this featuring your standard-fare turn-based combat. Not only that, but Dragon Quest in particular wasn't what you would call innovative with turn-based combat. I don't know if it was the presentation or the (buzzword incoming) versatility of its combatants, but somehow it all clicked with me. That isn't to say that went out of my way to fight all the time as I did hunt for high EXP monsters called Metal Slimes, to lessen my need to grind, but unlike most JRPGs, I was looking forward to boss fights. DQVIII was something I had always entertained the idea of replaying in recent years, but I never pulled the trigger until earlier this year. One of my biggest fears for re-experiencing a video game, movie, TV show, book, or any other work of fiction that I have high praise and great memories of is that a second encounter will cause me to replace my fondness for something far less. If not for the 3DS remake, there's a decent chance that I would never have taken the plunge again in my lifetime. I came in with DQVIII as my favorite JRPG, and I emerged with the same general sentiment but with the perspective of someone with more than a decade's worth of life experience that provided me with new takeaways and a greater respect for the game. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg |

| Topic | Just finished Danganronpa. Anyone remember the forum version we did? |
| KCF0107 08/20/17 10:02:00 PM #7 | I was a serial killer the first game, and I ended up doing nothing until late in the game. Someone was onto me at the trial, but I also had a night class at the time, so I remember giving Haguile the instructions to attack anyone in anyway if it appeared I was going to be voted out. Chaos ensued, and I was glad at how crazy things ended up being even though I died. Second game I was a painter dwarf who spoke like a pirate. I miraculously got myself out of danger through extreme RNG luck when someone tried to either poison or suffocate me through airborne toxins or something only for JC to see my unconscious body outside of my room and PUT ME BACK IN. I never forgave him for that. I don't think that I was part of the third game, but I was in Haguile's island escape game. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg |

| KCF0107 08/20/17 2:52:28 AM #111 | 3. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door 2. Paper Mario Why I think the Paper Mario games, these two more than the rest, succeed (maybe appeal to me is a better choice of words) is that they embody the approach that the Super Mario series takes, albeit RPG-ified. Super Mario has always followed a similar formula through its 30+ year history. You know what your ultimate goal is (and more often than not who the antagonist is) right from the start. Giving you an undeviating purpose immediately, it allows the game do the talking from that point forward, namely focusing on the here and now with its articulate level design. Paper Mario and its sequels does the same thing though as I said, RPG-ified. In the first two games, you are tasked with finding certain stars, which you then use to reach and defeat the main antagonist. What they do to fill in the gaps is reminiscent of Super Mario. The games are broken down into chapters that have very little in common with each other (especially in their structure), making them sort of like a series of novellas that could really be told in any order except for the final one. This constant sense of living in the moment while extensively in flux keeps the game breezy, and with its succinct style of humor and omnipresent charm, there just simply isn't a dull moment. Any game that is captivating from start to finish is certainly a must-play game, and I doubt there are many people who would disagree that these two are worthy of such praise. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg |
