Tears of the Kingdom Diablo IV Dark Souls 3 Final Fantasy XVI demo

FF12 is my favorite Final Fantasy after 6.

Pausing during cut scenes is huge.

I finished the demo this morning and pre-order the game. It’s light, fun, easy combat similar to Nier Automata or Kingdom Hearts mixed with a good story and voice acting and beautiful visuals. It is definitely very different than previous Final Fantasy games, though.

Also, FightingCowboy on YouTube has great build videos. And in is through walkthrough of DS3, he does a Quality build.

In every Souls game, a quality build is a great first playthrough build. With Quality, you prioritize STR and DEX more or less equally until you find a weapon that suits you and then stop leveling up the stat you don’t need. Other points can go to health and stamina.

Alternatively, the Sellsword class starts with one of the best weapons in the game, the Sellsword Twinblades. They particularly pair well with a DEX build.

Yeah, I’m trying to decide between making a new character or finishing the level 50ish wizard play through I never finished.

As is the tradition.

Enh, just switch between them. I usually play only 2 at a time, sometimes just 1.

Same, actually.

Red Dead Redemption was the last game I beat, about 3 weeks ago. Currently playing Diablo 4, Tears of the Kingdom, and Marvel Snap.

Does that include your saved posts? That’s what I’m worried about losing the most.

I don’t like it but I put up with it and it doesn’t really bother me all that much. When I had a newborn, I pretty much couldn’t play games for a few weeks or more. After that, I played a lot of pauseable games (KOTOR and Mass Effect specifically come to mind, though it’s been over a decade now so I’m sure I’m forgetting something). As a Souls player, I’m used to not being able to pause in games but I appreciate games like that that at least autosave and let you quit out at any time, the next best thing to pausing.

I haven’t played that in awhile but it’s awesome, a perfect homage to Escape Velocity, my very favorite Mac game.

Chrono Trigger

Final Fantasy 6 (the opera aria was played at my wedding)

Castlevania 3, specifically the six channel Famicom version

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

I’m old, if you couldn’t tell

This is great news, thanks. I played the game originally on Stadia (actually made $40 profit) and intended to replay it anyway, but this sounds even better.

I’m not sure what my favorite is. My family and friends and I love Pandemic, Catan, Ticket to Ride, Throw Throw Burrito, and the first Walking Dead board game, the name of which is escaping me currently.
