  • which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster

    Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They’re just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

    I’d recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

    FF3 is… okay. It introduces the character class system, which you’ll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

    FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.















  • You make the mistake of thinking that their resolve isn’t already absolute. I think it’s a luxury of ignorance of people who don’t live in deep red states and don’t know just how deep-seeded their fear and hatred of others is.

    And no, I will no longer strive for “understanding” of fascists who hate and harm others. I understand them perfectly well, and their views disgust me. Those who do continue to “strive for understanding” are only enabling them, and are the people who have allowed the situation to get as bad as it has in the U.S.

    But go ahead, keep tolerating the intolerant.




  • It’s a great game, but it’s also “baby’s first Zelda” in terms of game mechanics. It’s the first Zelda game my kid managed to play through on their own, and then when I had them try out LoZ, AoL, LttP, etc. they couldn’t believe that you couldn’t just bump into enemies without getting hurt by raising your shield.

    It’s far easier than even the Gameboy original, because back in the original you only had two buttons to assign items/equipment to, including the sword and shield, and the run boots weren’t an inherent ability but rather were just another item to assign to one of your two buttons.

    In the remake you can simultaneously use your sword, shield, jump feather, run boots, and I believe one more item to boot. It makes it literal child’s play compared to other Zelda games.

    That said… I wish they would remake more of them like that, because it is a great looking and fun to play game.
