While I love FF7R's first chapter, it is definitely a story that needs to be fully experienced to understand why it has received the acclaim it has over the years. So I couldn't agree more with your outline. While I can't wait to see where they go with the remake, the original will always differ in it's pacing, by definition of the episodic releases they are going for with the remake, which is a huge part of what made it so memorable.

I chose Agate too because I thought it would be more fun, but I wish I chose Scherazard now after beating it. But you seem like a big Agate fan so I doubt you will have that regret

I think zero escape got worse with every iteration, but I only think that because 999 is a masterpiece. Though the gameplay and puzzles were better in VLR I just didn't feel the oppressive and creepy atmosphere as strongly which is what made the first so memorable. Not that I didn't enjoy VLR (and ZTD for that matter) but 999 was really something special

For me the main difference between Maruki and FFTA was that in this game, Maruki was the God of the world and had ultimate control over the events that would happen which could very well lead to some dystopian shit real quick potentially, giving someone that much power just doesn't seem right. Whereas in FFTA they all just ended up in a world where everything just happened to be better, and they all had the ability to influence their own futures for the better and they had that taken away from them by some douchebag. That's less cool

In futaba palace so I havent been spoiled really yet, but I disagree about joker being a silent protagonist, because he has alot of personality tbqh
That is his complaint. He most certainly is a silent protagonist, because he is silent. The issue is that since they gave him so much of a personality anyway, the "charm" of a silent protagonist is gone, and they might as well have just given him lines at that point

Weaknesses are 2x damage or something like that, but that goes both ways. So it's easier to one shot enemies if you know their weaknesses. Of course, Reaper doesn't have any

Oh see I thought the point where you fake fight them would become the real fight.

And I forgot to beat the Reaper for that sweet trophy. Chose Merciless for NG+ since I have some powerful pokemonas on my team so let's see how much of a threat he is
He didn't seem too hard to me on my Hard playthrough, but Merciless should be a little more tough since the benefit you get from Merciless wouldn't apply to him anyway

I'm going to slow down to doing 2 of these a day - I realize they've been eating a surprising chunk of my time, especially since these will likely trend upward in length as I go on.

Also, this is the third time something incredibly relevant happened while working on this project. If I'm remembering correctly, I wrote about RE7 the day 8 was announced, Persona 3 the day Persona 4 was released on Steam, and now they just announced a Kingdom Hearts rhythm game.
Please do a Xenosaga writeup for me next :)

I kept this post in mind and left Ewan standing in Satorl Marsh, but then I got the Jiroque quest before getting Colony 6 to 3*. But wouldn't you know it, the first time I traveled back to Satorl Marsh, there were two blue exclamation marks for Forget-You-Nots ready to collect right away. So hooray!

XCX might be my favorite game in the blade series even though I actually never finished it lol.
In general I prefer the older Xeno games but I respect what the Blade games tried to do with the gameplay, and XCX goes the furthest into diving into that giant map, exploration focused gameplay style that defines the blade games. If you're going to halfass the stories that made the series great before, you might as well whole-ass the gameplay and XCX is great in that department

Now who ever could've guessed that?
I think the pizza thing is really just from the outlandishness of it all. The show is usually grounded in it's own, dramatic way but then you just see a guy throw a pizza on the roof and the show makes a point of showing it to you and it just feels like a different show for a little bit
