The reason this topic is still going after 120 posts is because you've repeatedly demonstrated here and everywhere that you don't listen to people. you're not trying to do something nice for Komm, you're just trying to get him to not be mad at you --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/24/18 6:48:54 PM #216 | 30. Final Fantasy Tactics (SaveEstelle)  Final Fantasy Tactics wasn't originally supposed to be a Final Fantasy game, but it was repurposed into one to take advantage of the massive success of Final Fantasy VII, which had released the year before. They even shoehorned Cloud into the game as a guest character. It was probably a smart move since it got people who jumped into the series with VII (like me) and were still hyped up about how great it was to get this one, too. I might have gotten it anyway because, as I said in earlier writeups, I played practically everything Square put out in the late '90s and early '00s, but it was definitely an added incentive for me to do so. Right away, you know you're getting something totally different from Final Fantasy VII because of the graphics, the setting, and the gameplay. Tactics has a very strong opening sequence though, so you're willing to deal with the changes. You're introduced to a cool group of characters with awesome-looking moves (and chants: "Life is short! Bury! Steady Sword!") in a practically impossible to lose (even if you're actively trying to sabotage your own squad) first battle, followed by Delita making off with the princess anyway with a classic line that I don't even need to quote for you to know what it is at this point. For a lot of people, the main draw of Final Fantasy Tactics is the battle system. While I do like the strategy aspect of it and aesthetically it looks and feels great, I'll admit that I'm not a huge fan of the job system in general. I've beaten this game several times, and I've probably never even touched half of the job classes. I stick with the ones I already like and know will get the job done (pun intended), and I'll gradually phase out the generic units as the special characters join with their unique classes. Yes, I am the guy who loves completely wrecking everything in Chapter 4 with Orlandu. It's my reward for making it that far. However, on my last playthrough, I did complete a Geomancer SCC (Straight Character Challenge), which was a lot of fun and a pretty good challenge (although Golgorand and the second Balk fight were super annoying). I don't think I'd ever do another one though. Final Fantasy Tactics is also often lauded for its complex storyline (and silly translation, regardless of which one you're using). It's a plot full of political intrigue, backstabbing, and a bunch of demons trying to take over the world. Some people don't like how the Lucavi stuff eventually overtakes the whole story, but I didn't mind it so much. I love Ramza though. He's one of my absolute favorite heroes. In a world where virtually everyone is conspiring against each other using devious and underhanded methods for personal gain, Ramza is the one guy who's adamant about doing the right thing for Ivalice's sake, not his own. For all of Delita's bluster about going against the tide, Ramza is the dude who actually does it. Even when it seems like everything's falling apart, everyone's turned against him, and he's not going to get anything out of it, he just keeps fighting for what he believes he's right. He's awesome like that. Bonus Question: What is your favorite job class? --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/24/18 5:41:29 PM #423 | So I was looking for a new audiobook the other day (I listen to them a lot while I work since I'm in my car for approximately 5 hours), and I saw they were having a "First book in the series" sale. I scanned through it and my eyes happened upon a book called "Hyperion." It caught my attention solely because it's the book Nagato gives to Kyon at the beginning of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Got in a few hours today, and most of it was one guy explaining why he wanted to go to Hyperion. It was enough exposition to put even Kojima to shame. And apparently, all seven of the main characters are supposed to share their reasons! Is the entire first book going to be dedicated to this? Maybe so! --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/23/18 9:53:53 PM #405 | Okay, I decided to re-watch Your Name because I figured it was the type of thing that would benefit from a second viewing considering the plot twist in the middle. Yeah, I think I view it more favorably now. The two main characters are really good and play off of each other really well. The rest of the cast is kinda whatever except for Okudera. A Silent Voice is better, but Your Name is good, too. I guess I'll include Mitsuha in the rankings now that I've cemented my feelings about it.

| LeonhartFour 02/23/18 7:07:40 PM #202 | 31. NieR (tazzyboyishere)  NieR is an unusual game in many ways. The protagonist is a middle-aged father (in the version we got anyway), which you almost never see in JRPGs. His companions are a floating, talking book, a bishonen boy (not uncommon in JRPGs) who transforms into a skeleton thing partway through the game, and an extremely vulgar girl wearing lingerie. In fact, your introduction to the game is a profanity-laden rant by that girl, and it's so unexpected that it leaves a lasting impression on you. NieR is very good at confusing you right from the beginning. After the opening sequence between Nier and his daughter Yonah, the game then skips ahead 1,312 years, where we find...Nier and his daughter Yonah. The twists and turns continue all the way to the end of the first playthrough, and once you start a New Game+ run, the game hits you in the face with even more of them. The second playthrough completely changes your perspective on the entire story, but it doesn't stop there. It keeps going all the way up until you encounter the final choice of the game. You just never know what to expect from NieR, and that's part of what makes it so great. I've heard people complain about the graphics and the gameplay, but I didn't have a problem with either of them. Sure, it's not the most technically impressive game visually, but it's not like it's ugly and janky. I suppose the battle system can feel pretty repetitive because you'll likely be using the same two or three spells over and over again along with your weapon of choice. Plus, the world is rather small, so you better get used to going to the same handful of locations over and over again. Plus, you can't control anyone other than Nier himself, which is a bummer. However, they also never die, which is nice. Of course, you'll probably never die either, because it's not a particularly difficult game, at least on the default setting, especially once you hit the New Game+ portion of the game. It's kind of nice to be able to breeze through the extra runs quickly without the random battles slowing you down since that's not what you're in it for at that point. The optional sidequests might be the most frustrating part of Nier. Thankfully, they're optional, but on the other hand, they're full of utterly delicious banter between the party members that you can't get anywhere else, so part of me wants to force my way through them for the dialogue. I didn't do them all because I ultimately decided it just wasn't worth it, but it was quite the dilemma. The party is great together though. Grimoire Weiss was my personal favorite of the bunch, but they're all really likable. Of course, no writeup of Nier would be complete without mentioning the soundtrack, which is one of the best in any game I've heard. My personal favorites are probably the consensus popular choices like Shadowlord, Song of the Ancients -Fate-, Kaine -Salvation-, and Hills of Radiant Wind, although I really like Temple of Drifting Sands a lot as far as songs that don't get enough love are concerned. It's just an excellent soundtrack overall though. Bonus Question: What is your favorite video game soundtrack? --- |

Once Oldbag drops the bomb that there were other people at the studio and she was told to keep quiet about it, he and Phoenix essentially talk through the details of it together. It's the first time he's civil toward him in any way. --- |

| LeonhartFour 02/23/18 4:36:24 PM #197 | 32. Kingdom Hearts (NBIceman)  Now I'm not a Disney fanatic like some people on Board 8, but I did grow up watching many of their greatest hits, so when they announced a game that would cross over with my favorite video game series, Final Fantasy, I was understandably hyped about it, particularly once I found out Squall--excuse me, Leon--would be in it. Even though Kingdom Hearts has focused more on its own original content over time and less on Disney and especially Final Fantasy, that was originally what got most people in the door. The production values on the first game were very high, and they managed to net some high profile actors and actresses as voice actors, like Billy Zane, David Boreanaz (I really wish they had been able to keep him), Mandy Moore, and, in perhaps the oddest casting decision, Lance Bass to play Sephiroth. The biggest get may have been getting James Woods back to play Hades again because I just can't imagine anyone else in that role. Much like I discussed with Ace Attorney in the previous writeup, Kingdom Hearts has gradually expanded in scale to the point that it's considered to be one of the most convoluted and nonsensical plots in gaming. The first game thrived on the fanservice of going to classic Disney worlds and interacting with the characters, as well as meeting and fighting some of the greatest Final Fantasy characters in the series (and Yuffie). Of course, the first game did have original content, like Sora and his friends, as well as the Heartless, but it was mostly integrated into all the Disney/Final Fantasy stuff until the last couple of worlds, where it takes center stage. You don't even meet Ansem until close to the end of the game. I was fine with that here because Sora wasn't that great of a character, and he spent too much time not getting along with Donald Duck. Plus, like I said, I was there for the fanservice to begin with, although they did get me invested into the series as a whole with Hollow Bastion, which was an excellent world. I think they handled it the right way by giving you what you came for up front and banking on it being enough to hook you when it got to the new stuff at the end. The battle system in Kingdom Hearts is excellent. It's an action RPG instead of a traditional turn-based one, so it's more fast-paced, and it gradually gets more complex as you level up and learn new abilities. You also only have a certain number of Ability Points, so you have to choose which skills you value the most and which ones you can do without. The game also has a bunch of really great boss fights where they manage to capture the atmosphere very well. The Riku fights were my favorites, but there were many good ones. Kingdom Hearts also has a fantastic soundtrack, with a good blend of original songs and remixes of classic tunes. That's the strength of the first game as a whole. It manages to blend the classic with the new in an effective way. Bonus Question: What's the main appeal of Kingdom Hearts to you: Disney, Final Fantasy, or the original content? --- |
