Have you played the remake of FF 7? I thought it was pretty amazing

Dan Szymborski

I haven't, will wait until it's eventually on PC

I dont' want to play a FFVII remake until I can play the *whole game*

1:07

I also prefer turn-based RPGs to action RPGs.

I've never had an action RPG with a game sequence as engrossing as the best designed fights in turn based RPGs.

Like in FFIV when adult Rydia comes back and you have to fight with a mostly dead party or the Luca Blight three-party battle in Suikoden II or the final Georg Weissmann fight in Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC on hard

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

Isn't FFVI>FFVII a fairly common opinion? They're the peak of the 2D and 3D games, respectively. Much like the longstanding debate between ALTTP and OOT in the Zelda communities.
Now if you said FFVIII was the best, then we can suspect head trauma.

HEY WE WERE ALL ORPHANS TOGETHER BUT WE JUST FORGOT

OH, THAT SORCERESS WASN'T THE REAL BAD GUY, THERE WAS THIS OTHER SORCERESS IN A MAGICAL CASTLE OR SOMETHING

Part 1 of the remake is a complete game in its own right, weirdly. And you can play it in a mode somewhat like a turn-based

Dan Szymborski

Yeah, but I KNOW there's a rest of the story

Is someone out here disrespecting ff6? You know this fool didn't wait for Shadow.

I bet he didn't even help Locke get Phoenix!

Because the team acquiring Bauer can't afford $35M. They have prospects but Boston pays the full salary. So the contender gets Bauer for free.

Dan Szymborski

1:11

But why does Bauer do this?

Guest

I guess you hadn't heard that RPGs should be cancelled because they promote the biological essentialist idea that different races have different inherent traits

Dan Szymborski

Not touching this one!

What's wrong with Peter Alonso? Was 2019 his peak season?

Dan Szymborski

1:12

I think he'll be fine

Guest

For the money. His idea is to get as much possible money in 1 year deals.

Probably took the Ragnarok esper as opposed to the sword and didn't fight 500 battles with the cursed shield to transform it into the paladin shield good God I wasted so much time as a kid

On that note, it's time for me to head off for another week.

Thanks for coming everyone!
