My dream for years has been a heavily-stylized, turn-based, fantasy-centric Final Fantasy more in the vein of Final Fantasy IX, except on modern consoles and with the kind of budget that FF7Remake got. I want a modern FF that has a really unique look, oozes charm, and has that 'old-school fantasy FF' feel to it.
But I've pretty much accepted that that will never happen at this point.
Very true but honestly the Playstation exclusives are way more of a tempt for me. Last of Us, Uncharted, HZD, Ghost of Tsushima, GoW, etc. Gamepass and the lower price are tempting but I think I have to go PS5 for that sweet sweet exclusivity
Has there been anymore concrete news about the Switch Upgrade/Successor? My launch switches battery is starting to show its age a bit.
Would rather not to a temp upgrade if I am looking at a 6 month window for the upgrade. I know always speculative, but all the talk from a few weeks back has gone completely. I understand with MS and Sony launches coming so soon, but curious none the less.

I beat Hades for the first time today. Nearly repeated that with the run just after that, but got killed towards the end (boss only had like 10% health left as well, urgh).
Hey, but at least I did it once, and it seems more feasible than ever before to do it again.

You are in a good place to enjoy PS5 at launch. Considering the PS4 offerings and performance enhancements you'll get, seeing something Ghosts, UC4, TLOU, etc. all at their best will be fun. Even for me, going from a base PS4 to PS5 and seeing old games in 4K or Pro level performance will be a fresh experience.
Oh, and I think the last time I felt as excited or thrilled with one single game like this was with Bloodborne, haha.
Just so good.
When was it last time ?The direct archive got updated today. Wonder if the new Partner Direct will be announced tonight or soon
EDIT:
When was it last updated? It varies, sometimes a day or two before a direct, sometimes up to two weeks if I remember correctly
On Switch its been a joy to play and Future Connected was a great epilogue piece.
I just realized I only bought this and Deadly Premonition 2 as new Switch games. Next month Hyrule Warriors baby!
Seems extremely likely it'll be next week or the week after, so not long no matter what I'd say. The question is what'll be in it, and will it even come close to living up to the last one
I don't think so! They're vastly different games, so it depends on what you're looking for.
I mean, this is what I said last Thursday
Maybe a partner Showcase a week earlier than I anticipated even if it's two weeks after this recent update in the archive.

I've never played the crypt game, but it looks interesting, and the Zelda content is pulling me in.
I feel like I can wait a bit for Pikmin 3 since I already have it on WiiU. But I know I'll have plenty of fun with it.
😭
Hey Nate, what's the first game your gonna play on PS5? Ratchet and Clank, Marvel's Spider-Man 2? Or an old favorite from the PS4 era?
The direct archive got updated today. Wonder if the new Partner Direct will be announced tonight or soon
EDIT:
I've seen someone on reddit stating that we'll get an announcement 6:00 PM EST so within 45 minutes.
Does not seems to be a credible source, but still interesting. Maybe his source is also this modification.
They probably just check it every few days and noticed like me. Doesn't usually happen the same day or day after though so they're making quite the assumption
An announcement tonight would be welcome though. We need that Bravely Default II delay announced so we can finally rest
Til some random guy on reddit decided there'll be an announcement, probably because the direct archive got updated
Newsflash: random guy from reddit found not credible source. :-)
My disappointment is immeasurable... and my day is ruined.
Breakdown Road and Invisible Road were much harder to me.
It's a shame because Bravely Default and Octopath are good but not the same. They don't have the same depth a good FF can have.
Depth in what sense? I think they're fairly different from most Final Fantasy games in terms of writing and story and the such, but gameplay-wise I haven't played a Final Fantasy game with the gameplay depth of either Bravely Default/Second or Octopath, besides XIV I guess. If anything I'd say one of the biggest differences is that those two games aren't as streamlined as most single-player Final Fantasy games.

I wanna expect Nintendo stuff at TGA but honestly.... ever since 2017 their presence there has been a bit disappointing. 2018 was just joker in smash (no gameplay) and MUA3, and 2019 was just third party partnerships (NMH3, BB2). A far cry from Bayo 3, Bayo 1+ 2 revealed and BotW DLC trailer and shadowdrop. Even the year before that was better with the first showcase of BotW since that E3 in the form of a trailer and a gameplay demo.
Maybe it's because Reggie left and he had a good relationship with Geoff. Idk how Bowser and him get along. You'd think they'd INCREASE their first party reveal presence given how it's growing each year.

Nintendo's TGA presence lately has felt mostly obligatory lately. I think they prefer to share first-party news on their own schedule seeing as so far they have refused to support Geoff with Gamescom ONL.
Yeeeeeees about damn time. I was so tempted to buy it on Steam for more than a year now, it has been on sale fairly often, but I was waiting for the Switch version.
Touhou Luna Nights for Switch launches in 2020
Publisher Phoenixx and developer Team Ladybug will release Touhou Luna Nights in 2020, the publisher announced.www.gematsu.com
Dope, I was afraid it might not make it until 2021.
I also recommend from the same devs the Metroidvania games they made in the Megaten franchise. You play as the Jack bros. It was available for free, as a limited time release. Officially it's not available anymore but it's easy to find it.

Hearing this in the context of Metroid only makes me nervous lol
But honestly, if they can do it right I'd be all for it. Sylux being a completely blank slate gives them a chance to really develop a Metroid character well
Eh. Don't think it makes sense to hang the "no gameplay" asterisk over the Joker reveal. It was a huge deal, perhaps one of the most well received and well integrated reveals of the night, and the lack of gameplay had no real bearing on that. It was a clever move to premiere a trailer like that promoting a crossover with a game that was being celebrated during the main show. The lack of gameplay, if anything, had to do with the timing. Also, the stream was peppered with continual Smash advertisements, counting down to the game's launch that evening. That show even had a live performance of Lifelight. It was all an extensive use of the show as a marketing vehicle. For one game, sure, but they threw their weight behind it.
And really, now that we're winding down on Nintendo's announcements for the year, it's clear that they didn't have that much else that could've premiered at TGAs in 2019. The biggest reveals seem to have been intended for their own 2020 E3 show or around TGS (like Monster Hunter), so many months removed from TGA. (This is excluding the Pokemon DLC, which I don't think ever would've been announced in a format other than a dedicated Direct.)
I think this year we'll see HW DLC with a BotW 2 teaser. They generally seem to know what material is best suited for the TGAs. Far cry from Cranky Kong days.
