@massivelyop think it may actually be MMO fatigue. I find myself not logging into my MMOs as much and instead leaving towards shorter game experiences. Even #jrpgs have been too much of a commitment for me

Watched the followup, just as good. The recap of the brilliant ending was another spine-tingling moment! I still remember how much my jaw dropped at the way they handled the whole thing back when I originally beat the game.

I was trying to fully drain my phone battery so I randomly found this tier-list review of Star Ocean First Departure characters. When the guy said "We'll start with the sh*t tier: Ronyx" I burst out laughing. Ilia and Claude (in the SO2R tier list) are both top of the top tier, obviously. "Mom, Dad's dragging us down!!"

(The added irony is that Ronyx/Ronixis is the most lauded one in the in-game universe. Whatever, Dad)

I'm about to waste dozens of hours of my life clock on this.

Are there other people out there, or other instances, where you like to talk a lot about JRPGs, stuff like Shin Megami Tensei, FF, BoF, DQ, Star Ocean, Xeno, stuff like that?

Or classic Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, Kingdom Hearts, Ratchet and Clank...

Or even just games from that era that you like, like 90s - mid 00s

Souls stuff? Bloodborne? Elden Ring? Other ARPGs like Ys?

Fanart, rare media, mods, speedruns, talking about your favorite moments, discoveries, characters, playthroughs and challenges, stuff like that...

I just need to not only see AI doom stuff and politics for a while. I want to talk about fun things I like. With other people who like those things. #gaming #jrpgs #ps1 #ps2 #gbc #gba #nds #3ds

They keep calling them #JRPGs these days, games like #Chronotrigger, but back when I was a kid, they were just #RPGs

I played four #ComputerGames yesterday, and, funnily enough, one of them wasn't with 4 Guys Co-op, which got canceled due to illness, injury, and travel. I got sucked into Hideo Kojima‘s Death Stranding over the weekend. It recently came to Xbox Game Pass—an odd #cRPG, whose main mechanic is trying to stay upright while carrying a lot of stuff. I also played Eternal Strands, Metamorph ReFantazio (sic), and Octopath Traveler, all fun #JRPGs. Damn that #Xbox rewards gamifying system!
