| Topic | Which games are the worst as an entry into their series? |
| Mac Arrowny 02/17/22 10:28:48 AM #41 | azuarc posted... Besides story-driven sequels, which are not really fair answers...I feel like most Ys games are not the best game to start with.

| Mac Arrowny 02/16/22 2:12:34 PM #14 | Buying this is a bad idea if you haven't played the game - doing the free trial first is ideal, since it gives you a huge portion of the game with no subscription fee.

| Mac Arrowny 02/16/22 12:39:07 PM #28 | KamikazePotato posted... Elizabeth's 'Social Link' in FES is better than the story content for all the other attendants combined, honestly. That's not even counting her Arena stuff.Having better story content doesn't make her a better character! I acknowledge that Justine/Caroline's Confidant sucks ass, but that doesn't stop me from liking them. I imagine Margaret fans feel the same way. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |

| Mac Arrowny 02/09/22 8:42:28 AM #13 | Depends how you define consensus I guess. Mass Effect comes close with 2 > 3 > 1 > Andromeda. Lightning Strikes posted... On Persona I think it is more of a case of a vocal minority and people really underestimate how much Persona 5 blew up, and how much better its general reception was - it reviewed the best of the lot, it got a slew if GOTY awards which the series had never done before and even got a TGA nomination. I do not know, it was a maybe after all.among people who played all 6 games there is no consensus even less so if you include Strikers... That MI list looks extremely wrong too. I don't think there's any consensus there. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
| Topic | Giving FFXII another shot. |
| Mac Arrowny 02/08/22 2:54:59 PM #268 | Yeah I had no problem with the laughing scene. The VAs are more of a problem in the serious scenes. Also MGS came out 3 years before FFX, so I dunno if it's got an excuse to be bad. KH1's voice acting was good though! KH voice acting ironically gets worse as the games go along. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
