I suppose it may depend on what circles you’re talking about them in, because that series is one of the top recommendations for metroidvanias. They’ve sold over 15 million copies.

It’d be nice if they put more into the world of FF8 like they keep shoving into FF7, truthfully.

Honestly, I got about 20 minutes in before turning it off. Does the rest of the film feel the same as those first 20?

Okay I think this is actually the best answer in here. I know of too many people that won’t play pixel games or PS1 era because “the graphics are bad”, which just sends me for a spin because I absolutely adore how they look.

Yea, I had fun. Solid 7/10 for me. Story elements and pacing could’ve been better in places, especially the first half.

But give me a star wars story where it’s mostly aliens and there are animatronics/puppets, and I’m a happy camper.

8 is definitely not a good first JRPG to start with, but I think it’s an interesting reversal of the regular mechanics/grind that you expect from the genre.

I actually think FF8 and FF9 have aged wonderfully. Personally, it’s FF7 that hasn’t aged the best.

But you can flip it if you’re more familiar with the Wii version!

A lot of product to Canada comes up through American trade routes.

Perhaps they’re betting on people that were holding out on a Switch 2 will see this as their only opportunity to grab one, since it ain’t getting cheaper.

Thank you for bringing this game to my attention! I’m a massive Golden Sun fan, and the Oracle games are some of my favourite Zeldas

The fanfare is interesting to me, because I played the demo and found the exact opposite from my experience! The mini games in the middle of it all was too many subsystems for me to find enjoyable. But that’s clearly the minority opinion based on the sales and reviews.

In an early access game, no less. The game isn’t even done. This should be expected by the players.

Yea, I’m all for new additions to the genre, but can we stop giving lazy slop games articles and the time of day? This doesn’t require as much attention as it is getting.

This one isn’t on Gamefreak, the people behind the diamond and pearl remakes made this one.

I didn’t care much for the first one, so likely wasn’t going to see this - but I do agree. Stuff like this is a nice surprise to find out in the movie, though I’m certain there are people that were not going to see this film previously that now will because of this. Hoping for their sake it’s not a 3 second little easter egg, haha.

I felt similarly for when Captain America: Civil War advertised Spider-Man.

That wasn’t really an answer, my comment was trying to understand why people want that. Obviously there are personal preferences involved, I just wanted to hear from someone that wanted it as to why.

My question is why the heck do people keep mentioning NPCs with dynamic chatter? Why do people even want that or see that as a good thing?

Yea, honestly I don’t know anyone that has bought or plans on buying a Switch 2, but I know a lot of people that bought or have Switch 1. Of course, that’s anecdotal, but shits just way too pricey. I and most that I know got into the Switch because of the affordability and on-the-go console play. Half of that equation is gone, and we already have the on-the-go console play with Switch 1.

We also have sales taxes in Canada, but that precentage depends on the province or territory. So you could expect the final Canadian price to go as high as $710 CAD.
