FF6 was 16-bit you bastard. Get your bit count straight.

Oh you know what i mean. I just love FF6.

[just Beamu]

enough that I think only just now, like 20 years later with all the more accepting attitudes about homosexuality that has brought about, do I think there is even a chance it could be released into the united states without resulting in a public outcry, and I wouldnt be surprised if it still caused one.

keep in mind all the lesbian themed eroge that is out there, which I assure you I have sampled extensively when I say I think mother three is the gayest game I have ever played.
Interesting. So then the gayness is pretty overt and not just implied in the subtext? Is one of the main characters gay or bi?

right off the top of my head, repeatedly throughout the story, you will encounter "faeries." Now fairy here is kind of a word play. In the game, the fairy's are fairies because they are winged magical beings. But they are also faeries in the sense that they are large hairy men, who wear pink overalls with no shirt, speak in overly exaggerated girly girl fashion (I am so pretty, kun-kun! <3 <3 <3) and repeatedly hit on the shota protagonist. in another part of the game, making out with very male mermaid statue things is required to traverse an ocean floor, this is accompanied by the screen going dark, a sound of a wet, sloppy kiss playing, and then color fading back in showing your character with a bright happy grin on his face and blushing furiously. You can randomly kiss these later "just for fun" if you want to.

some of the enemies you will encounter are positively fabulous as well, and I am probably forgetting a half dozen things.

that should be fine in pixel graphics, FF7 is one of the most popular jrpg's of pretty much all time and it has a section of Cloud entering a thinly veiled Brothel and accidentally entering the gay muscle dude bath, and after that crossdressing right in the beginning.

I mean its not as frequent as Mother 3 i guess, but its definately there and it didnt cause an uproar, and neither did all the other sexual and horror-stuff, simply because the character models look like Lego.

Pretty hyped for xenoblade x as I said. Seems to be much less story and far more open world exploration and stuff. I suppose that it's good in a way and also bad in another. Fleshing out the characters through side quests in probably going to be the best part of the game for me (along with having my own mecha and destroying that game's superbosses)

I prefer Xenosaga.

I prefer Xenogears; Xenosaga is pretty neat with KOS-MOS and Albedo, but the quality between the individual parts was swayed pretty strongly.
As in, part 2 was kinda bad

Also part 2 was the only one that got released over here xD

Xenogears is great, but you really feel the incompleteness very strongly towards the end, and before too, with stuff like Rico and Maria basically losing all importance after their intorductory arc, and only some mechs getting a final form, the sudden textshift, the lack of important plot points that ultimately just ended up in the side material book (one of the reasons it gets compared to EVA so much, which suffered the same fate)

and the platformer parts which where really unnecessary and badly done.

[black1blade]

For fiora I think I had her on sword drones. I went mostly with the melle route with a few ether arts here and there like her amazing insta topple art that I would use to topple lock abassay after shulk and dunban had already toppled him before in the chain attack. Shulk would then use a monado art, probably cyclone, then the damage would begin. It was so epic when I got a blossom dance in the middle of max chain attack!

I quite liked the story but I don't recognise it as a pinnacle of story telling if you know what I mean. Plenty of really awesome cut scenes, which xenoblade x seems to have too.

I mostly just gave her and Dunban as many agilty gems as possible and let them kill everything on the screen while Shulk healed and occasionally used some Monado Arts.

The Xenosaga anime just adapts the first game; the second game is mostly movies so you're fine just watching a Lets play.

final fantasy 8 and the first 95% of chrono cross. Earthbound itself would probably make the top 10.

[just Beamu]

Xenoblade was an okay game that starts getting worse and doesn't stop getting worse about halfway through.

Funny thing that I had this thing about loving final fantasy for a few years but I never finished one and only actually played 4 and 5 for more than a few hours. I've played the initial section of 4 like 10 times though, I just kept getting bored. Really I should play more SNES games on my shitty old PC. Mother 3 has been fan TL'd right?

The entire point of Rainfall was that it would take next to no effort to bring the games over hear due to an English translation already existing. You can clearly see it as well, what with the previously mentioned British spelling left in.

The psp remake of FF4 is pretty amazing, i mean sure its almost purely a graphical update (although it also eliminates the limited inventory which in turn makes the fat chocobo obsolete, dunno why its still in the game) but it does that pretty amazingly.

No, its the one that mixed classic fantasy, H.P.Lovecraft stuff and world history aka the games take place during and after WWI. You even have some historcial characters in your party, in part 1 Mata Hari and in part 2 Anastasia Romanov. Theres also a part 3 but it ditches the original mainchar and has way too many joke-characters in the party (as in, only the mainchar and the main heroine can be taken seriously at all) so it kinda loses out.

It had a pretty cool fighting system; it was round-based, but it incorporated position in the arena, elemental affinity for each character, a "combo" system and sanity points (as in, the characters lost SP for each round they had to face the horrific vaginamonsters SH's monster design included, and if they hit 0 they went berserk)

Main character was pretty likeable without beeing a goody-two-shoes or a standard nice guy, a half-japanese half-russian named Yuri Hyuga.

digital devil saga remains unique to me in that it is the only game I had to pirate after legally purchasing it, Specifically the game store only had one copy of the second part of the game, and when I attempted to play it, I discovered the game was broken. and said game store refused to take it back. I ended up emulating a game I was the lawful owner of.

Well I say I collect them, I used to years ago. This made me look up some stuff online.

The puzzle gameplay is kind of a headache at times, but it makes up for it with a very atmospheric story and a wondeful look, and if you learn to like the puzzling, the better.

I still havent gotten all the ends though because the prospect of having to play through it 6 times is kind of.... demotivating.

Kinda but I wanna play awakening first so I can get the gist of how the games work and stuff. I would have to buy both versions from the offset though so that I actually had a choice which side I would choose. That said, I would probably do the light side first then move onto the dark peeps.
