First time I played FF VII was on Vita! Such a great time, loved it on there. The smaller screen and the OLED's colours really made it a pleasant experience.

The most exciting thing is seeing what kind of insane beautiful world they have created. I'm really hoping they reveal it at E3.
Soon, my friend. Soon.
I wish Switch excited when I was a kid.
Would've had all the time in the world to play all those games lol. Especially some of the final fantasies

I bought IX in a sale intending to play it on Switch for the first time since 2001, but I've never got round to it. I should try and get on with it some time.
I'm being mean here :P But seriously, Zesteria is one of the most basic RPG's I've played. And I like Tales games just fine, but man that game was a drag to play at times. Especially the dungeons are absolutely dull and not fun to play.
This is partly why I'm so excited for the Switch Pro. We haven't had an OLED portable since the original Vita, and it was a game changer. Gaming on an OLED display is in general.
tiny wings just got updated, adding the final island that was "coming soon" for like 5 years!

My biggest complaint about more modern Tales games is that while combat (generally) has gotten better, dungeon design has taken a massive nosedive since the days of Symphonia/Abyss/Vesperia. I loved how dungeons in those days always had a "theme/gimmick" of some sort; you would get a new power via the sorcerer's ring that almost worked like a dungeon item in Zelda, and the whole dungeon hinged around how you used it. Sure, it was often really simple and they weren't always great, but it added a good amount of variety and puzzles to the game and gave you things to do besides just fight things over and over again. Dungeons in Zesty/Berseria etc. just feel like massive empty randomly-generated corridors where all you do is fight enemies.
lol yeah, I've actually thought about this a lot! A lot of boomers on hardcore forums like this love to bitch about the Switch "collecting dust" but I bet it's amazing for a kid. Especially with all the major exclusives Nintendo has nowadays that they didn't back in say, the Wii era. Stuff like Splatoon, Xenoblade, ARMS, Fire Emblem (since it was really niche in the Wii era) etc. alongside huge ambitious Zelda, Mario, Smash, etc. entries and 3rd party exclusives like MH, new SE JRPG's, and potentially RE.
Edit: not to mention, everything on one platform instead of being split between handheld and console.
Is this about Mikleo? Not Every game feature a bro-ship similar to Sorey and Mikleo's.
Yeah, it was generally great. While my Vita suffered from the Mura effect, I never faced other issues like burn-in and the like. The only "issue": the 3DS' screens looked even worse when playing on Vita and switching over to it. xD
Seriously spoiled me. The current Switch panel ain't bad per se, but it doesn't pop as much. I don't really mind, but I also wouldn't say no to an OLED Pro.
Kinda related to social media harassment. A gaming streamer I follow had his dad recently pass away and now he has people coming out of the woodwork saying things like "ha your dad is dead! Get f'd" on social media and the comment sections. I just don't get how people can be like this.
Nah it has nothing to do with the cast, I thought they were fine (if a bit bland). Zestiria is just a really mediocre Tales game pretty much across the board: bland-looking and boring areas, the junction-system making combat annoying and limiting, bad dungeon design, un-engaging plot, etc. It's just a really forgettable experience, I beat it and I remember almost nothing about it in detail.
What. the. fuck???
That's ... Why are people this horrible?
I feel like this is just a problem with the internet and its anonymity in general. You get a bunch of angry, weirdo, nerds that feel compelled to be assholes just cuz they can.
I think it's mainly this, yeah. And I feel like a lot of the people who complain about "cancel culture" are just upset because they're not as anonymous as they thought and the nasty shit they say is actually being associated with their real life.
This is so mind boggling to me. We're talking about video games here. Video games!
So, so excited for tomorrow. We're giving a Switch to my mom for Mother's Day. I'm terrible at keeping secrets when it comes to gifts, so I'm really proud of myself for lasting this long. She will be so surprised and I'm sure she'll love it! My brother got her Pokémon Sword, because she fell in love with Pokémon over the last seven months, and I got her BoTW (because she's very intrigued by it) and Mario Odyssey (cuz why the heck not).
im so excited and I can't wait to give it to her! I'll give y'all an update tomorrow on what she thought of it.

I was joking, Sorey and Mikleo's relationship is weird as hell.
Zestiria isn't the blandest Tales game at all, Xillia 2 had a story worse than Zestiria. But still, neither one is as yawnfest as Xenoblade 2's story. Story wise Xeno 2 is up there with Compile Heart games.
There's a difference Pikmin 4 we know exists, a 2D Metroid is rumored but a 2D Mario isn't even rumored.
The production group that makes 2D Mario hired staff to make a 2D game. That seems like a pretty clear sequence of events shaping up right there.
Dusk Golem (Resident Evil expert and one of the most reliable insiders on social media) said that it will come out this or next year, it's apparently very high budget and in development for many years now.
He said on Twitter that he knows a lot about it but that he and other insiders think that Village currently deserves to be in the spotlight. He'll talk about it rather soon tough ("after Village releases").
Nah gee this aint it.
Feel free to disagree but I hated Xeno 2's story. Full of anime tropes and uninteresting. It doesn't need to be interesting anyway, only a select few JRPG's have good stories. Where Xeno 2 shines is its battle system.
Come think of it, Tales of Zestiria and Xeno 2 are VERY similar with Driver/Blade and Human/Seraphim systems. You literally equip a human to another human.
Agreed. I always believe that the main draw of the series was the snappy combat (which was fine or very good), but the dungeons were just blegh. The dungeons in general were tolerable because the combat made it somewhat fun to traverse them.
Hell, Xenoblade 2 is a mastapiece compared to Zesteria. Storywise and character wise. Okay it has Edna and she's cool, but everyone else is so damn boring.
Disagree on the Xillia 2 thing. It was a far more interesting game due to the fractured dimensions stuff. Some characters actually showed growth like Alvin (thank god) and Elise. Except Leah. Oh man did the writers like to shit on her. Poor lass. Worst Tales games remain Zesteria and Abyss. Beste Tales games are Symphona, Vesperia and Berseria.
Xenoblade 2 tries to be a Xenosaga successor with "blade" concept but fails imo, neither Mythra or Pyra are as interesting enough as KOSMOS. Both design and character wise, they remind me Hyperdimension characters instead.
Xillia 2 is a good game overall but the main character Ludger brings the whole thing down. Worst main character in whole series, even worse than Jude. Jude sucks too, bland male protag without any characteristics, but Milla and her cute ignorance makes up for him (only correct choice). Also, Abyss as the worst game? We're talking about characters showing growth, no other JRPG protag changed within the game as much as Luke Fon Fabre. And supporting characters helped him have that change. Abyss is on the third spot of my best Tales games list, after Vesperia and Graces.
We'll get both, eventually. Though I personally hope the next 2D Mario is er, new, and not 'New'.
Okay. Pokémon snap got a new game, so new it's in the title to remind them.
Now it's time for the Pokémon Colosseum fans to get a new game, right folks?

Speaking of, why the fuck hasn't Square Enix released FFI - VI yet on the Switch?
Actually, scratch that, why the fuck isn't it possible to play FFI - VI on any modern system, period?
The fuck is wrong with you, SE?
You already got a new Colosseum.
It's called Pokémon Sword & Shield.
Final Fantasy II is a good game.
And has a great overworld theme. Yeah, it's overplayed but it's so good.
