Day 9: Favorite Battle system
Tactics again. Gotta be Tactics. Game's crazy deep and ultra challenging but never becomes overwhelming or feels unfair.
Well, there's one or two particularly (in)famous fights but you can prepare for those so you don't get hamstrung, especially in the remaster.

Dragon Quest 11 has now officially surpassed 9,000,000 units sold! The craziest thing about this statement is that it has now surpassed Final Fantasy 9 & 10 in sales which is just crazy to think about! The only Square Enix RPGs that sold more are FF7OG/8/13/14/15 & NieR Automata.

People trying to algorithmically "solve" entertainment media like it's some kind of magical money making formula instead of something people buy for its artistic merit and storytelling. You know, things require talent and humanity (real humanity, not some arbitary number on a stat menu)
Yeah it was the number of lines hades had that made the game great… not the quality.
With AI we can have twice the number of lines! That makes the game 2x better!
Why are game developers so lazy to not want to make their game 2x better?

I don’t buy into the myth that hardships makes better art. Sometimes art is made in spite of it or in conversation to it, but personally I don’t know how to be creative when I’m sad.

It turns out there are about five people on the planet with an actual belief set rather than a crude amalgamation of tribal groupthink derived urges.
Does anyone else find it completely hypocritical that the US is threatening to “intervene” in Iran if they shoot protesters, while they’re over here SHOOTING PROTESTERS??

This whole thread. Dooming is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s actively harmful to you and it certainly doesn’t help those around you.
Watching doc about resilience that reaffirms many changes I made last few years to my mental outlook (I read a LOT of brain books). Brains are hallucination engines. If the story is the world is shit, everything is fucked, brain reframes every interaction this way. It impacts behavior; shuts us down

Hi, welcome to our internet community. We're a welcoming and supportive space unless you say, do or think anything our most popular don't explicitly approve of in advance. All those listed anti-harassment rules? They're arbitrarily enforced, usually just when we want to get rid of someone. Have fun!

As ever I honestly wouldn't mind if Hexadrive or ArtePiazza did a 3D remake of this game
At least give us some modern representation other than a port of the lackluster mobile version on Steam, Square Enix!

🎮Chrono Trigger is quite simply one of the greatest games ever made.
🎤We begin our journey with this timeless classic, meet Crono, Lucca, and Marle and see right away why those who made CT are called the Dream Team:
