I think its important to note that even when official contests arent happening, we make our own, both on the small scale (ranking topics with predix prizes) and the pretty damn hefty (VGMC). Theres always something to talk about.

I'm also not a huge fan of 5E. DMGuild in place of Wizards releasing new content has been a huge miss for me.
Thats a feature, not a bug.

The fact that WotC has been pretty hands-off with most of 5e instead of getting mired in the Splatbook Hell of 3.5 (which carried over to Paizos work on PF) has been a godsend. Granted, much of that was also due to OGL, too.

The framework is solid, its easy to pick up and play, and while its certainly easier than previous editions for the players, I think its the best D&D has ever been. Concentration requirements on mages helps too.

I am playing in one game and running another one, and its a blast.

Oh for sure. Im a mark for anything Supergiant touches at this point since I am 3-for-3 on loving their released games.

I know they had a new one, Hades, in early access, but I dont buy early access games on principle even from my favorite studios, and I dont know if it got its full release yet.

Its by the guys who did Bastion and Transistor, and its basically a visual novel in its storytelling and makes you think youre playing an action RPG when in reality theyre tricking you into playing a fantastical sports game. I loved it and have a feeling you will enjoy it as well.

I couldnt stand DR in any of its iterations. Everything about it grates on me, from the art style to the humor to the plot that I know I shouldnt take seriously but still has me rolling my eyes so hard I nearly go blind. It hits all the wrong notes for me in a somewhat similar way to Kingdom Hearts, although I dont loathe its existence the way I do the latter series.

I played those same sports games growing up! Have you played Pyre yet, Leon? Its gameplay is best summed up as Fantasy NBA Jam with a light stat and equipment system.

I understand. If you dont like MMO gameplay then I certainly wouldnt press you on it. However, the story and especially characters have impressed me such that I am on current content, and as a former WoW player, the combat system is way more intricate and fun.

But enough about that, we have a whole topic for that game. I am surprised I havent seen Quinton in there...

If I were to dismiss Final Fantasy Syndrome as the reason why IC is my favorite, I would instead say that Zidane carries it hard. I love the dashing, charismatic rogue character archetype, and he embodies it well while still being a worthy protagonist for the series. The Youre not alone sequence would not have hit as hard if it had been any other series protagonist going through the same turmoil that Zidane was.

Vivi is phenomenal as well, of course, hes my boy, but the game doesnt work without Zidane leading the charge.

Sorry I am writing super poorly. I always struggle to express why I am so attached to IX. I fully recognize its flaws now. The back half of the cast is either disposable or actively atrocious; the gameplay could have been tightened up hard; the final boss is almost insulting in its presentation. Yet I keep coming back to it as my gem from the series.

Maybe it is just Final Fantasy Syndrome.

Not even you could sell me on an MMO.
I get it, its a very polarizing genre, but I insist that 14 be treated as a proper piece of the series. Largely because its the best FF since X and it isnt remotely close.

Speaking of 14 again, this is a gem although its a spoiler for the latest expansion: https://youtu.be/Wc4w0AXWcnI

MMOs dont exist.
I was in this camp until I played 14, and let me tell you, 14 exists.

Musically it often stands out from the series intentionally, but this is one that fits the series perfectly.
