Final Fantasy XIII

I can't bring myself to hate this game even a little, not when it reinvents atb in a way that is this fun and cohesive, not when it has such a strong core cast that feels unique in the way they interact with one another, and not when it still looks so damn beautiful even today

I guess social media just makes me feel inadequate at everything I do no matter what

this is the first time I'm playing an active time battle final fantasy and I actually get why it's designed that way instead of just feeling like a regular turn based game with a pointless timer slapped haphazardly on top, this stuff is fast, congruent, and there's things to do even during downtime!

The Last Blade 2

another fighting game I forgot to put here while I was actually playing it, and it's not bad I guess, the mechanics are neat but I just wasn't really taken by the roster and was under the weather when I was giving it a try so maybe I'll give it another go in the future

"I have a super where I stand with my back turned looking cool as a bunch of explosions fly out, do you?"
"I have a super where I kiss my wife"

Ninja Gaiden 4

yeah I really liked this. Yakumo's playstyle rocks, level and encounter design is pretty solid, and for once they didn't forget to bring good bosses... though Ryu's levels felt like complete filler get him out of here

would want to replay this on harder difficulties at some point!

action game discourse is so fake bro

still yet to stumble into that one but I can't wait

ffx I have finished in january and still haven't really been able to stop thinking about it, I get it now man, a number of ff games in and I finally get the love people have for final fantasy as a cultural titan

thematically poignant, artistically strong and just plain fun to play
