Despite the many flaws of the game I liked it, it's way more of a hardcore classic dungeon crawler than what most people are used to. Definitely needed to be freed from the 3DS (it emulated like shit for me).

The elemental system was pretty cool too but I think it was mandated too much, it was "do it or die" for most major enemies and bosses.

But why though?
The Alliance Alive is the same game but better in every way.

I have never been so disappointed in a game as I have been in Starfield. The mechanics are a genuine step up from the catastrophe that Fallout 4 induced by gutting the dialogue and gutting skills, the ship building is genuinely well done as well as the crafting and exploration, but holy shit everything else is abysmal. All of the weapon designs are generic, so while it still *has* Fallout 4's crafting system, it's nowhere near the same because you can't make anything that looks cool. 90% of the space suits are ugly, and you have to be an actual pirate just to wear something in space that doesn't make you look like a special needs kid. The whole NASApunk aesthetic is unflattering and soulless, and all of the food design suffers for it because all of it is in bins and plastic packaging. There's nothing interesting or captivating about this world, and all of it feels lazy and rushed. The religions are all boring, and you're forced to choose between redditors, some weird syncretic monotheists who don't even really have their stuff thought out aside from belief in some sort of God, and then a snake cult. The factions are boring too and the fact that there's so few of them makes the world feel small despite spanning literally across galaxies; and it only feels even smaller considering how much you're forced to fast travel constantly. This game is such an utter let down..

>You literally cannot screw yourself out of a mission completion or story line by killing an npc or answering the wrong way or going about a mission incorrectly because the game will not allow you to make such mistakes
You're actually unironically retarded if you think killing an NPC and locking yourself out of their quests is a hallmark of good game design when 90% of content is built around questlines. Might as well argue that racing games should be made where you can blow up your car and fail on start up three races in and then be barred from completion and have to start a new save. There is nothing compelling about designing a game so poorly that it purposefully locks you out of playing the game for a mishap, and you're asking for games to be purposefully designed to be horrible. You also have never played a Bethesda game before if you're regurgitated these completely asinine sentiments that Vegas fans spit out verbatim simply because Reddit and YT commentators told them to think this way. Regardless, in Bethesda games you can kill most NPC's in each game, and it wasn't until Fallout 4 that they really started placing essential NPC's quite literally everywhere even for many side quests. In Skyrim the only essential NPC's are tied to the main questline and Jarls, otherwise it's free game.
> You can just play the game without any concern for stats
Having more stats does not make a game have deeper roleplaying, and if you think that's a requirement and think that's the case then you have some form of autism or other deficiency in your right brain where you're unable to conceive concepts outside of a literal framework. The only prospect that allows a game to have better roleplaying is more interactivity. It is having your actions be reacted to and acknowledged. Regardless, if you think that your playstyle doesn't matter in Bethesda games this is also another sign that you haven't touched one and are an NPC.

>no modding scene for Fallout 4
You clearly have never touched Fallout 4 then.

You're making a frightening amount of sense. If I were in charge of an 8 remake, Squall's first (optional) encounter with Laguna would have been at Winhill, not Esthar and they wouldn't even know they were father and son, just going over the Galbadian War all those years ago.

>>3213484
They would've fit more thematically but their overall purpose is incredibly contrived. I do like your idea for FF7 though, leaning into a Jacob's ladder schizo episode would be great but fans never like that execution. I'm reminded of Prince of Persia (2008) where the ending undoes the game itself.

>>3214484
In an effort to improve Laguna's character, having him encountered in the overworld mybe looking for Ellone would be a good play. Could hear about him in Timber, one of their reporters looking for a girl with 'special powers'. This could tip Squall off and by the time you return to Garden, engaging Ellone would add more to her story before she's simply sent away by Cid. Undoes some of the damage to Laguna's character by ignoring his children for the better part of 20 years. Have Kiros and Ward always a half step behind him, trying to catch him.

The only reason they wouldn't like it is because it leans in to Clud not being a perfectly level headed guy, which is what he's been hyped up to be in every other installment of the franchise.

This game was hyped up as the Elder Scrolls Oblivion killer. While it's not polished to such a degree, it still feels comparable to maybe Gothic. It has some really cool gameplay mechanics even if the animations are stiff. I wouldn't mind seeing this series come back and live up to the hype.

I have never played a more sexist game.

TW2's is a man's world. There are very few women. But those that are there, whew.

Of those few women there are, they always fall into one or more of these stereotypes:

- A victim (hero's sister, niece Annette )
- A manipulator (the dragon queen)
- Wearing unpractical boob armor or a very short skirt (the dragon queen, Reesa)
- A liar (Reesa, the first major woman you meet after 6 hours in the game)
- Payment with sex (again, (Reesa), after you help her)
- An undecisive/cowardly woman (the side quest Love's Labour Lost )
- A sick woman (the side quest Sick Auntie )
- A cheater (Sol Pan )
- A whore/dancer for money (side quest Stag Night )

>Picrel actually sucks too since why enemy movement exists when positioning absolutely don't matter at all?
Have you not played Like a Dragon at all? Most moves and even items care about positioning. From everyone being able to kick loose objects for slight bonus damage while repositioning to doing their attack to Ichiban grabbing nearby objects to use as improvised weapons to centered AoE moves like Ichi's bat swing hitting in a circle around his target to Adachi's bullrush hitting enemies in the path to his target(Nanba's pyro belch has a similar mechanic but smaller size) to grenades and bazookas dealing AoE damage, and enemy positioning is also important because they can attack you while you're running past them if you target someone in the back, meaning you can take chip damage or even be knocked out of your attack depending on who you hit.
LAD does have some issues related to positioning, but "it doesn't matter" absolutely is not one of them, and from what Infinite Wealth has shown so far, it looks like some of those issues are fixed.

it's good.
Autobattle is good when it can be treated as another tool in your kit as opposed to a lazy option that replaces mashing confirm.

There's an actual story, but the game has randomly-generated missions you can do in-between. It's something you play for the fun of making a party of different Tales characters and for the autistic gear optimization rather than being something story-heavy. It's not like there's very little dialogue; there are a TON of skits.

Just played through the whole 3 hours in one sitting, it's really great.
I was originally planning on getting it for my Switch but the graphics are genuinely really pretty, I was pretty skeptical about the 3D environments from the trailers and screenshots but it looks great when you're playing it.

I don't really have any complaints except the combat is really fucking easy in the start, but when you get your party member and leave for the adventure it suddenly gets much, much harder.
Oh, usually I like vidya dubs but this one is just awful. Do yourself a favor and use Japanese voices, particularly the "SO2SE" option.
