It's only tighly constrained if you haven't figured out how to taunt flying enemies into positions so that you can pogo off them to reach places you couldn't get to without the prerequisite exploration skills, wall climb or double jump, effectively sequence breaking the game. If anyone is having difficulty with pogo-ing, I recommend either the wanderer, or more preferably, the reaper crest.
Not gonna lie, I'm glad they're not adding the shakespearean thee's and thou's, made the WotL vers. feel like i was playing the bible. It is a little annoying that the black/onion knights, Balthier and Luso aren't going be in the game tho.
As glad as I am to see FFT on modern consoles, I'm a little disappointed that FFT Advance and A2: Grimore of the Rift didn't also get remastered and bundled with it.
Been playing for about hour now and can say without any doubt, it's def good and worth the price. I was actually so caught up in it, I didn't even notice my switch's low battery warning. Now i gotta wait 5-10 minutes to get back to it.
Loved the first Phantom Brave and La Pucelle tactics on ps2 back in the day. Definitely looking foward to downloading the demo when i get home from work.
@Ironcore One person's horrific point is another's accurate point.
If I wanted to be horrific about it, I'd definitely point how how we're well past mere shovelware and entering re-released "enhanced edition" and bundled together shovelware territory. Ninty sure enjoys dragging the seal of quality through the mud as if it were a shovel.
I see you overlooked Overdungeon, which just released today on switch. That is the only game I am getting this week.
Already got sick of Freedom Wars on vita, back in the day.
I've been playing this since release on ps4 and ny only complaint about this game is that I wish they'd allow ps5's dualsense controller use in psvr2. The psvr2 motion controls are pure cringe imo.
It's more like StarTropics than LoZ.... but more boring than StarTropics. I actually quit playing after i realized there is no backtracking to previous regions to get things i missed.
Would love to see wind waker remastered. It's the only loz game i haven't played. Def not holding my breath for silksong, i've been burned too many times, in that regard.
I'm also finishing up Virtue's Last Reward, such a shame the zero escape trilogy isn't on switch. As well as wrapping up Dark Souls 1 remaster on switch before starting ng+. Probably gonna dl DS 2 & 3 to my ps5 while waiting for elden ring's shadow of the erdtree dlc.
Talk about chopping off your nose to spite your face. I feel it would be a less reviled move if the game devs/publishers just sent the pinkertons after the pirates and left the rest of us out of it.
My friends and I always joke about bringing a shovel with us to dig through all the eshop's shovelware games. There are a lot of wonderful indie games out there but that's not what we're talking about.
As someone who isn't a fan of either ab or ms, I couldn"t care less. Let ms choke on that hotbed of sexual harassment and toxicity. I wouldn't have any expectations of their games on other consoles than xbox either. I remember how glitchy Oblivion was on ps3, save corruption issues, broken quest lines on the goty version, the dlc that never released on ps version, etc.
@Boston_J It sounds like either your friend didn't make sure the item they were duping was the in last slot in their iventory or they had over 20 items out on the ground.
Love that for them. If anyone does, they definitely deserve to do well. The games they've created are truly endearing and wonderful to play. Even if it were just for the xenoblade chronicles series alone... Although, I would also love to see them remake the xenosaga trilogy.
Not shocked TotK took the lead by such a large margin. Silksong tho? Really? It probably won't even be this year, or next year or the year after that, ect...
I'm already sold on Super Mario RPG and Mythforce. I have slight interest in dragon quest monsters and star ocean, will probably hold off until some gameplay videos are circulating
@tobsesta99 Considering that's ultimately why square soft switched to playstation from nintendo64 for ff7. You'd think nintendo would learn but nooope....
It's a shame this game doesn't have couch co-op, just online mp. I was kinda hoping it would replace For the King as my go-to for game night with friends.
I wasn't expecting much from this year's Nintendo Direct but this is the best news i could have hoped for..... Other than squenix remaking, or at the very least remastering, Vagrant Story.
Considering the popularity of the mario franchise, it's on you if you can't sell a well-known product.... Blaming the hardware is just scapegoating, imo.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct, Then?
Pretty lackluster, imo. To be fair tho, so was playstation's. If it weren't for FF7 remake part 2, i'd have nothing to look foward to.

Re: Feature: Nintendo eShop Selects - August 2023
