I played FFXII too much on the PS2. Beat it twice, did all of the sidequests, and I got the prized Order of Ambrosia clan rank. Needless to say, I have no urge to go back and play the Zodiac Age (even though I am curious of the changes the Zodiac Job System brings).
Did you beat Yiazmat yet? Though not difficult, I remember that being quite the marathon.
Happy 10 years. I think I'm at 14 since I joined 1up.
Yeah, I've been here since the mass of 1up people got here. I only just started listening to the podcast when you guys covered FFXV last year. Had to laugh at the outtakes of this episode, that was something.
Stage Select
1. Mario: Anyone who thinks of video games thinks of Mario.
2. Mega Man: Belongs right beside Marioas far as how good his games are.
3. Solid Snake: Mount Rushmore has lot of old dudes right, Solid Snake would fit right in.
4. Master Chief: He's pretty old as well, and he should be right beside Solid Snake.
Chrono Crossing
Mega Man 2. I missed out on choosing Mega Man 3 last podcast, so I'll choose Mega Man 2 (which is almost as good as Mega Man 3) this week as the best game of 1989.
I was gonna really get into amiibos with Super Smash Bros. for 3DS but the game kind of disappointed me. I still might buy a few for collector's purposes though. I'll just leave them in the box.
I missed out on the eclipse. which is weird because I was big into astronomy early in college. oh well. I wouldn't have had a good view where I live anyway.
Titanfall 2 is worth waiting for. Its price is dropping like a rock.
My problem with Mighty No. 9 isn't that its more of the same (afterall, that's what I was looking for), but the things it tries to do differently fail completely. The bosses for instance are completely different from Mega Man; they rely more on trying to beat the boss as fast as possible than memorizing patterns. And they just weren't fun that way.
Yeah, the multiplayer will probably be a blast if you didn't play Titanfall 1. I put lots of hours into the multiplayer of Titanfall 1. I will be playing Titanfall 2 multiplayer soon, as a friend asked me to order Titanfall 2 for him.
Stage Select:
3. Dragon Quest VIII: Played this for over 130 hours on PS2. Loved the massive world and the simplistic, but fun battle system. I only wish there was more party members.
2. Fate/Grand Order. Addicting battle mechanics and loads of fantastic characters. We are way behind Japan with this one in terms of content, but even only after two months I can see this becoming one of my favorite games ever.
1. Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions: It may not be typical anime style, but with the PSP version of this game, it had water-colored animated cut-scenes that were animated, I imagine, in Japan. Anyone who knows me, knows this is one of my favorite games thanks to the amazing story and excellent battle system.
60-80 hours? honestly, you might have sold me on the game. especially, if the combat is actually really good. i was wary of this one as a departure from the series, but now i know it will give me quite a bit of bang for my buck.
Most modern day FPS' can be finished in about 4-6 hours and yeah, the platforming could be kind of tough for me in Titanfall 2.
I saw that they had a Cloud Strife amiibo, so I considered picking one up. I have no idea what amiibos do, but it does seem like a cool way to collect figures.
When I played Bayonetta on Normal, I could only play one level at a time. When I dropped it down to very easy, I was having a breeze playing it, so I whipped through the rest of the game in one sitting.
