Amazing story, although it takes a bit of time to get rolling. Amazing characters too.

Gameplay is amazing on paper, but is kinda clunky in practice. And it doesn't help that Yokohama is huge and has a high "random" encounter rate. And then throw in a job system that wasn't properly fleshed out...

I probably need to replay it someday, since I think I would've enjoyed it more if I grinded the business minigame for money back in chapter 5 and then I could just spam the taxi and buy all of the shop weapons right away to minimize how much I'm running around in town.

3 hours and 40 minutes into this match was the last time Link trailed in a 1-on-1 match. Advent Children allowed Cloud to lead for an hour and 45 minutes with a max lead of 191. Link would lose two out of three multiway contests and trail for several hours in the third, but this was officially when he left the competition in the dust 1-on-1.

Verso taking over as the controlled character in part 2 and being an awful character
Agreed. I'm ultimately fine with Gustave dying because it's a good twist (although he's best boy). But after that there's a weird disconnect where Maelle is the main character in most regards but Verso's the character you control in the camp despite the player knowing very little about him for much of the game.

It does seem to be like everyone is all over the board on this, so...

What are the BAD Tales games
Out of the localized games:
  • Phantasia GBA
  • Destiny PS1 (it's alright for its time, but it's much better to use the fan translation for the PS2 remake)
  • Legendia (though it's one of those games that a minority of people really fall in love with)
  • World: Radiant Mythology
  • Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
  • Zestiria
  • Arise (this one is more debatable, but most long-time fans don't care for this one)
The Xillias can also be very hit or miss. Personally I have a soft spot for 1 but dislike 2, while a lot of other people are in the opposite boat.

Some?
X/Y is certainly the main turning point, but the 3DS Pokemon games were still generally good (outside of Ultra SuMo being lazy sidegrades released a mere year later). Whereas the Switch games are where things really went off the rails with stuff like Dexit, forced EXP Share, increased emphasis on catching Pokemon over battling (mainly in Let's Go and Arceus), and just generally feeling like lazy cash grabs.

It's the start of Pokemon's downfall in some ways, but it had some really good ideas too. It's easily the gen that did online the best, and it brought the main series to 3D for better or worse. In exchange, its main-game campaign was bleh due to the bad story and not knowing how to balance around the new EXP Share.

But it at least built a solid foundation. OR/AS showed how that foundation can lead to some amazing games. And then Sun and Moon squandered a lot of it and it's been a roller coaster of mediocrity to flat out bad since then.

I'll switch this too. Mystery of the Emblem technically has a remake of the first game in it too, so it's "sort of" the first game and that part has been localized (in different games).

Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light
The Blazing Blade/Sword
Awakening
Heroes

First slot should go to one of the earlier entries. Shadow Dragon's the safe bet since not only is it the actual first, but it was localized (first the remake and later the original) while Mystery and Genealogy weren't.

Second slot should go to FE7 due to being the first localized FE. It was also very popular back in the day. Granted nowadays there's enough of a backlash against the game to put its slot a bit in jeopardy. But I still think it's important to have one of FE7-10 here and I'm not sold on any of the other 3 taking this slot.

3rd slot is pretty much a lock for Awakening. Like it or not (I don't), the whole "Awakening saved the franchise" narrative along with Smash Bros giving it Ocarina of Time levels of respect make it a safe inclusion.

4th slot is more in the air. Three Houses is probably the safe pick for being Awakening's bigger and better little sibling. But I don't think it had quite the same impact as Awakening did, so I'll be controversial and throw a nod to the never-ending gacha that's gotten IS a ton of money.

Multiple Fire Emblem games
Sadly I think they all have some sort of asterisk:
  • 2/Echoes - Alm and Celica share the spotlight with Alm being the main focus overall.
  • 7 - Eliwood is the main character even if he's the least popular of the lords.
  • 8 - Eirika and Ephraim share the spotlight. Eirika is a bit more important overall though, but not by enough to definitively be the main character.
  • 10 - Micaiah starts as the main character but Ike takes over pretty definitively.
  • Awakening/Fates/Three Houses/Engage - All feature customizable avatars where you choose their gender. Plus Awakening has Chrom competing for the main character slot.

My immediate thought is that Deck Nine is just incompetent and shouldn't be allowed to keep the franchise, but I haven't played or watched LiS2 which is apparently also really bad, so I guess technically it might not just be Deck Nine being trash.
IMO it's probably a bit of both. I've played the first 4 LiS along with Tell Me Why, which is a spiritual successor from Dontnod. IMO they're all mediocre to bad outside of the original which was amazing. Though I suppose LiS2 is my second favorite since it at least tried to do something interesting even if the actual execution was meh. Whereas Deck Nine's games are just boring, and I don't even want to get Double Exposure.
