anyone ;^;
7 is the better of the two, even on PC. Additionally, a lot more mods are available.
STEAM | 01/2016 - Out of cash, out of cache is one of the most on point thread titles we had. Does it mean that morningus is back to being himself again?
in other news, thanks to valve screwing card trading I didn't get to lvl 200 after all, so close yet so far. *profound sadness*
the first game I've finished this year is SquareCells, no surprise here, it was OK, nice take on nonograms with a twist. Will wait for SquareCells plus now.
What I don't get, why Matthew keeps insisting on no cards policy, those games being somewhat popular would bring him extra money and not that little, very strange.
FF7 surely, especially if you haven't played it. Although I'd go with both, even flawed as it is FF8 is a damn good game.

I know i'll be a good president.

you are not FF Se7enSword, look deep into your soul!
and BTW, while you admitted you haven't played any FF but 13, you should pick at least FF7 too, just sayin
If you haven't played a FF game I wouldn't exactly recommend the PS1 ones. The animations are excessive, making the games really slow. Maybe if there was a FF VII PC Fast forward mod like the PS4 version.
It was 25% off in the halloween and summer sale, no clue why they didn't discount it this time. Maybe they thought people would pick it up at full price along with RE0 or something.
Also, Commander Keen 1-5 was a single game. No +5 for me :/

Umm I did play FF7. That and FF8 are the only 2 mainline FFs i've played other than XIII series.

Mr. Bland, naturally. Ain't no time for racists in my galaxy.
Ashley got nuked the fuck up. I only have time for my waifu, Liara.
You need to play X when it came to steam!

I was looking for someone to sell me or turn me off Armello
It looks really cool, and I love board games. I couldn't wait until I posted this question let alone wait for a response, but then I noticed that it's barely mentioned in this thread and could do with some exposure (although not from me since I've yet to finish downloading it). So if it looks interesting check out this caffeinated review I found
If you're into euro-style board games, Armello unfortunately falls short. I backed it on Kickstarter, and was left a tad disappointed because there are too many random elements and rolls that come to play. Sure, luck is a factor in many board games, I just felt that it was a tad too much in this case. I prefer strategy to the major factor in winning, but Armello seems to be a toss up.

Making a platform of "Everyone will play Trails in the Sky" is an okay platform I guess
wait a bloody second, and after that you said Dissidia is better...

I can't forgive this, I just can't.
nah, it has a nice world, great sidequests, a lot of secrets, interesting enemies, etc.
double story with two sets of main characters is an amazing idea too

Hope you enjoy it. I liked ME1 way more than 2, myself.

Garrus and Wrex for approximately 95% of the game. The only time I switched out was for Liara to kill her mother and Tali to get Geth data stuff. Never used A/K after Eden Prime. Otherwise, I went full goody-goody.
The jank in ME1 is a real chore at times.

Based on my limited experience with FF, I can confidently declare XIII-1 is the best FF game.
It's the only one I've ever finished

Yes, one has to be dumb to waste.
No, the game is actually good, and the fact you can complete it with level six characters or so it's very interesting, a thing you don't experiment in other FF games. You can power-up characters simply by using junction system and the right spells, plus weapons (you can get Lion Heart for Squall in the beginning of CD 2 if I remember correctly). This means avoiding totally random fights, since the boss level scales with your character (ie fighting the Omega Weapon on level six is totally different from fighting the same enemy on level 100, you can kill the Omega in a couple of minutes on level six, on level 100 the fight is brutal and it can take hours).
I really like the story, the fact it is non-linear and open to interpretations, the optional quests like the stones one or the UFO one, hidden summons, the soundtrack is amazing.
On the other side, I just hated FFXII, I found it boring, with total uninteresting characters except a couple of them, I didn't like the mmorpg structure and it's the only FF I completed by doing the main quest only, and this forcing me.
Umh, no, it isn't. You can or can't like the game, and that's up to you, but the game improved a lot of things from FFVII (for the graphics at least).
Label it as "hot garbage" is simply unfair, just say you don't like it and that's it.
Umh, no. If I think the story in a game is crappy, that counts for me to decide if the game is bad or not. Expecially in story focused games like FF.
And I don't think the combat is broken, there are simply ways to power-up characters very fast, but it's up to you discover them, I think it's a gameplay feature. I honestly prefer this instead of grinding 300 hours in order to reach level 99 and destroy everything.
How did you ever even arrive at that comparison?
The reason I think 8 is one of the worst FFs I've played (and I played most of them) is that the story is terrible even by FF standards and its major gameplay system is completely broken.
STEAM | 01/2016 - My Final Fantasy is better than your Final Fantasy
Just like in most of cRPGs. QED
Seriously though, it's a system-based game taken to the extreme. That's not something many jRPGs do, the only other ones I can think of are Akitoshi Kawazu games, and they always stroke me as something very close to a cRPG (when I was playing Romancing SaGa 3, I just couldn't shake the feeling that this is a Might & Magic game in disguise).

I think Oath is a pretty good starting place. Origin is technically my favorite of the two. Skip Ark for now.
I usually agree with you, but not this time, bad story has nothing to do with a game being good or bad, it's gameplay that has to do everything with that, and gameplay system is not broken, it's combat that is somewhat broken, but yet again FF8 has so much to offer besides combat that even this conclusion is not true at all. And even brokedness of combat can be lived with, because you can kinda ignore it, many people do just that.

I was very impressed with Ys I&II once I sat down with them and didn't just mess around for 5 minutes. Though I liked 1 more so. II got a bit too maze like.

IMHO I recommend Origin and Oath, but play Oath first.
If you end up getting all 3, I recommend playing them as 6>3 (Oath)>Origin
In order to see how the gameplay improved from 6 unto Origin.
but that's common knowledge, no point assigning it to monthly title.
seriously?
I see we are getting from bad to worse by a second
My favorite game of all time, indisputably, by a huge green country mile, is Planescape: Torment.
So what I'm saying is "no".
Thanks! Can't get more of a consensus than that
Will grab Oath
I'll pick Origin up next if I like ^^

If you care about the game timeline, Origin is the first one, if not, pick Oath, Origin is too brutal for being the first one to play (it was my first
).OK... it's your choice.
I still don't get how story that is literally not a game but a story can make a game bad or horrible. (VNs excluded, of course)
Oh well
That's a very good point actually!
