@LikelySatan I only got into Final Fantasy myself with FF X HD on Switch, and have since played VII-X and XII. Also have 1-6 collection. I started with RPGs on the N64 with Paper Mario, then Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2. My favorite two games, in that order, and they've shaped my tastes in games and RPGs ever since.
@Tasuki Beginning of the downfall of Final Fantasy? Final Fantasy IX and X are masterpieces, certainly not in a period of downfall. I'm not much of a FF VII fan but it definitely was not a low point.
Currently doing an Iron Man run of Shadows of Valentia. Excellent game. ORAS are also very solid remakes. SMRPG, while very 1 to 1 with the original, cleans things up so nice that I cant forget it either. Majoras Mask and Ocarina of time 3D and Links Awakening are also great.
I wish they had just done this properly from the get go, everything on the cart and 60 fps. It went from an instant buy to maybe I'll remember it when its dirt cheap a few years from now.
While none of the Paper Mario clones quite hit the mark for me, I'll keep an eye on this for a sale. Luckily for the most part I still enjoy modern Paper Mario so I'm not left wanting.
While both unlikely, Conker is probably impossible, but I loved the multiplayer so much in it. Banjo Tooie would be nice too(ie) as I never owned, only rented it.
No buffs to my poor explosher... but, there are some nice changes in here, though I feel they need to do bigger balance patches with how infrequent they are.
This is one I might potentially try, but I just finished the first Somnium Files game and I'll be psyncing into the second immediately. Will investigate Eastward further.
Imo, even for say the main platforming games, the joy of being surprised for the first time is something you only get once, and for those who care about that (me) you can absolutely be spoiled on that.
@ChromaticDracula Eh, they're not as hard as people like to claim it to be. Yea theres some bs but if you know what you're doing it's fine usually. Love me some SMT
I adored both Arise and Vesperia, have Symphonia but so far haven't played it. Think I also got Berseria? on Steam and one other I cannot recall the name of.

@Papery0shi Paper Mario 64 is my favorite game ever and I will go feral should it get a proper remake.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Personal Favourite Super Mario Game?
Paper Mario 64 is my favorite game of all time, but if we're talking platformers only, I'd say Wonder.

While I would be very happy to have Mother 3 localized, I've come to accept it likely wont happen, and the fan translation is excellent enough as is.

Re: Best Mario RPGs Of All Time
Paper Mario 64 is my number one, with TTYD second. And imo Color Splash and kinda Origami King should be higher, they get unjust hate.

@Nintendo4Sonic Welcome to Coventry Cove!
Beetle Adventure Racing was fantastic
Re: Poll: Which Of Rare's Classic N64 Games Would You Like To See On Switch Online?
While both unlikely, Conker is probably impossible, but I loved the multiplayer so much in it. Banjo Tooie would be nice too(ie) as I never owned, only rented it.
