Some kinda take:
FFXIV really is the Final final fantasy
Its theme park x multiverse framing absorbs all other Final Fantasies unto itself
And it's prrrrobably the last MMO they'll make under the franchise mainline
@kaliranya It's amazing how much XIV remixes other FFs, absorbing parts of their plotlines and weaving them into a bigger meta-story? Like all the post-Endwalker patches are so strongly FFIV, but also completely fit in the whole voidsent arc?
@thevglibrary I had this until recently; I think I got it around 2002. Boy, that typography and layout was bad, but somehow, it still triggered a sense of nostalgia!
Couple of great deliveries today; #ShirenTheWanderer The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate, and #Persona 4 Golden for Nintendo Switch. Both from Limited Run
Hey! A friend is asking for Final Fantasy XIV players who are now using the Xbox version of the game, to be interviewed.
if any of you play on, or know someone playing on Xbox and wouldn't mind offering a comment for print in a news media article, please send me a DM or ask!
You can DM or send an ask via Tumblr here, or if you do not have a Tumblr, feel free to DM me for their e-mail! :ChikaThumbsUp1:
I got these 2 games from the 2ndhand market. Blue Reflection was an impulse buy, but there's so few people selling #jrpgs here that I decided to grab it. It has terrible reviews! I haven't even once seen a good review of it, but I like to collect #koeitecmo games. Tokyo Mirage is an exclusive and a crossover of #shinmegamitensei and #fireemblem. Couldn't pass the opportunity to get it, but I haven't seen a lot of love for it either. #videogames#nintendoswitch#atlus
@COMPU73E@helligbird
These days as well. I love seeing series blossom. Atelier, Monster Hunter, Earth Defense Force, Yakuza, etc.
They all have grown so much in popularity over the past decade and I love it.
Hopefully Gundam Breaker 4 can do that as well this year.
And I still feel bad about incredible games that didn’t get the chance.
Toukiden Kiwami, Tearaway, Soul Sacrifice Delta… 😭
@OutofPrintArchive@helligbird yeah that's why I'm always banging on about certain games that I really like, I want other people to play them! Then if they're successful they'll hopefully make more... Hopefully I can convince other people to take a chance on a game that I think they'll like
@sandzwerg The Steam re-release from 2013, which looks pretty faithful to the original? I never played the PS1 version and I don't have a modern Playstation to get the remasters as they're coming out, so I figure I'll play the old one first
