I think the overall quality of games is still as high as ever, but the business around them has gotten worse with time.

rip Evangelion. I was pleasantly surprised it took down DBZ though, so I can be happy with its run.

Why's there a Dodrio in it though (0:35-ish)

Dunkey edited that in. I think he's insinuating that Bugsnax is just a food-themed version of Pokemon. He's not entirely wrong, since its premise is pretty close to that.

Yeah Berserker is an under-powered class for the most part. I only ever use it because I think Bartz' sprite for it is cute. Blue Mage is powerful but takes a lot of effort. I usually don't use it and just go for the faster solid jobs like Black Mage.

I don't think I came to B8 until after the prime days of Umineko had passed here, so I never really got to witness the start of that whole thing. Thinking back on it, I'm kind of curious to know how it happened. Who introduced it? How did he get so many people interested in a visual novel with such offputting artwork?

I agree with the recommendation to wait a bit on the FFTA games. They will definitely feel like a let down coming right off of the original. I would say they're average games at best. FFTA's story is more of a low-stakes drama about kids dealing with everyday issues through fantasy escapism. It doesn't do a good job exploring that subject matter either. In both FFTA and Tactics Ogre there's more of an influence from character level, while in FFT combat performance comes mostly from equipment and class choices, which I think makes for a faster paced, more tactical game overall. FFTA games are just really easy while Tactics Ogre seems grindy to me. If you're even one or two levels below the enemy you'll have to plug away for ages to take them down while they'll kill your units in 1-2 hits.

Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre are both set in the same universe, and they share a director with FFT. Their stories definitely are a lot closer in tone and themes to FFT. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together is the better of the two Tactics Ogre games. It kind of feels like a direct precursor to FFT, but the mechanics aren't as fun and it has a branching story with three different routes. You can kind of think of it as FFT except Ramza and Delita are the same character and which person he becomes depends on player choice. It's definitely more complex morally than most RPGs that use player choice. It was originally for Super Famicom but the PS1 port got localized to NA. There's also a PSP port, which I don't really like from what I've tried. It has a flowery PSP FFT type translation and it almost completely changes the gameplay. I'd go with the PS1 version if you do play it, and would definitely recommend it over either FFTA game, but I'm not a huge fan of it myself because of the flaws in the gameplay. There's also a GBA Tactics Ogre game called the Knight of Lodis. It's alright, basically just LUCT with a less interesting story.

Ogre Battle has a completely different style of gameplay. Your units are grouped into small squads that move together, the level is basically a world map with forts and other objectives on it and you choose which squads to send where. The combat is all auto-resolved when two squads meet kind of similar to Fire Emblem. There's an SNES game and an N64 game. I think the N64 one is generally considered better. It does not have Matsuno as the director though. I remember finding the gameplay fun but can't recall anything about the story of either game.

TLDR: FFTA and A2 are skippable, Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle are worth playing but not nearly as good as FFT IMO

Yeah, in my opinion the biggest problem with FFT's plot is the fact that the Lucavi exist in the first place. I think it would've been better if it just removed its supernatural elements altogether and focused entirely on political machinations for its plot. I find the whole final encounter with Ajora pretty meaningless for the most part and agree that it's an anti-climax.

Delita is my favorite Final Fantasy character. I tend to like a more flawed, morally complex character and I think that's his main edge over Ramza. Delita's story is arguably about him being corrupted. In some ways he ends up resembling the same people he set out to fight. Neither of those characters would be as effective without the other though. The contrast in their methods is central to the story. Delita does achieve things that Ramza could never do because he isn't willing to get his hands dirty in the same way. I think it's especially interesting how they take such different paths despite initially being similar naive kids and being disillusioned by the same event: Teta's death.

And yes, in gameplay terms you did almost everything except the Deep Dungeon, which I also think is kind of lame.

Yeah the spear and shield you missed are the most powerful in the game, but they're kind of overkill and getting them probably isn't worth it. They're quite difficult and unintuitive to find. You have to have move-find item equipped and stand on the pillars at Nelvaska temple, which requires using Worker 8 or Reis to give your character a boost, and even then you have a brave% chance of just finding the regular Javelin and Escutcheon instead, so if you want both you have to keep resetting until you get lucky enough to find the upgraded versions one after another.

Meliadoul's moves deal damage and break a piece of equipment at the same time, but she simply can't use them if the target doesn't have any equipment to destroy, which is why she's useless against monsters and lucavi. In the PSP version they removed that limitation - her skills can still damage unarmed enemies. She's generally kind of an underpowered character though considering her join time - you recruit her after Orlandu, who has all her abilities as well as Agrias' and Gafgarion's movesets.

The Calculator class itself is really statistically weak to compensate for how powerful its Math Skill is. It's basically a class you stay in just to gain JP and then use its secondary skill as a Wizard. When used right, it lets you cast spells like Flare, Holy, or Break on multiple targets all the way across the map with no charge time and no MP cost, but I personally don't really like it because it requires a lot of manual number-checking and the reward for good use of it is to completely trivialize battles.

And yeah T.G. Cid is basically a win button. Interestingly his starting weapon, Excalibur is a big part of that and if you give it to Agrias she will become nearly as strong as he is. It's probably optimal to use them both. The Holy Sword skills are just so powerful.
