Probably stems from 9 being comparatively "forgotten" compared to 7 while generally being more liked by the fanbase than 8. I personally consider 9 to be among the best but I typically see it rated appropriately. 9 is well-balanced in terms of having a decent story, solid characters, cool cutscenes, and enjoyable sidequests. It makes sense that it's a fan-favorite.

My main complaint about FF9 is the massive interstitial times (the non-loading times such as battle and zone transitions)... but the PC version lets you time skip through those

What about the Midgar Zolom?

of course, but I didn't really consider it a boss since you bypass it

There are ways to play it with keyboard and and mouse if you talking what I'm meaning about. ;)

anyone got a keyboard with motion controls?

the first level of the Afterburner remake is pretty good

I wish I was better at Noita, it's a really cool game

??? FF7 I remember Sephiroth and the Turks.

Other than Midgar bosses (cuz of the remake), I remember the ... dolphin thing, demon wall, red dragon, all the Weapons, Hojo, Proud Clod, CARRY ARMOUR and the Wutai lords... and that one bug that has Trine... Materia Keeper I think (and Master Gi)

...I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I remember offhand

BlackScythe0 posted...

Do you really remember much more from other games?

yes. FF7 is full of memorable bosses, FF1... only has 4 bosses, FF3 and 5 are full of gimmick bosses - half the bosses in FF8 need to be remembered so you don't miss any Draws

I know there's the Black Waltz'z, and the fiends, and the final boss... but that's about it

Providing the content is illegal. The fact that it's in a streaming format doesn't change the fact it's illegal. Not to mention there are literally warnings about illegal viewings at the start of films.

I'm not going to defend streamio further, I just gave the top reddit result...

ya, you are viewing illegal content... which inandof itself isn't illegal

The 32/year service I'm paying for is obviously hosting the files somewhere. I don't understand how they've managed to stay in business for over a decade without the FBI showing up.

The FBI doesn't have jurisdiction in every other country, and even then they do manage to shut down a lot of hosts...

But it's kinda, like, impossible to stop them all... it takes like 2 seconds to copy a yottabyte these days

It's been asked on reddit, but basically Streamio is legal in the sense that "viewing" copyrighted content is not illegal and they aren't distributing anything to you, only streaming.

But yes, their entire database IS torrents and pirated...

too many cutscenes and plot

I like Link Between Worlds

Are we talking about something like Undertale here? Or just something that's thoroughly bad i.e. Mystic Quest?

Mystic Quest... ... Undertale is good good

I mean stuff like Two Worlds, and Too Human (which is sadly gone forever). I also rather enjoyed Progress Quest.

according to reddit, wealthy non-nobles would often become moneylenders or bankers with the goal of marrying a daughter into high nobility, using a large dowry as leverage.

What are you looking for?

There were super-rich prior to the invention of Capitalism; I wanna know how the super-rich non-royals... existed at all

Back in the day if you found all that money and anyone found out the nobles would seize it. You don't just "magically" get all the mercenaries under your belt with no one being aware of it. Without some way to protect the wealth you would have no way to keep the wealth. Land belonged to the nobles and taking stuff from their land without their permission is not going to go well.

don't let my weak framing device beguile the question... If you had all the moneyz back before the capitalism, what a do?

Ok, lets say you're in the middle of England... or maybe France, you've had a successful military career and are the highest consulate for some lame-ass Marquis some where

...

...

Then you find one billion tons of gold.

...

Under capitalism, you'd just buy the nations if that's what you wanted... WOOP WOOP

But back in the day, what? I mean, you could hire the greatest mercenary force in the world and... not be declared king? I mean, you have no lineage and are not even remotely in line for the throne, you just got all teh money and the force needed to protect it; what does that make you?
