I don't mind mowing lawns, I just hate mowing my parents lawn. Mom is a flower nut so she has bushes, trees, and flowers all over. Thankfully they decided to get rid of the back yard and replace it with crushed stone, which is something I'll be doing for my own property whenever I can afford one.

Locke. The main characters in FF6 are Locke and Terra IMO. But if I'm forced to pick one of the proper protagonists, probably Bartz or Clive.

I've never seen the Karate Kid, but according to wikipedia, "Daniel LaRusso is a fictional character and the protagonist of The Karate Kid media franchise portrayed by Ralph Macchio."

And an argument can be made that he's the main antagonist. A boy works his ass off, trains for years only to get eliminated by a child prodigy in the last round who hits him with a lucky kick. How I Met Your Mother explained that fairly cleanly.

Let me ask you this. What's the point? If you can't physically buy something to help make your life better, then why bother?

Ok, I have 75 grand. Can't go on a vacation, that shit takes time to book.
Can't spend it on food, or give it away
Can't buy anything for myself to help improve my home.

There needs to be less restrictions. Either more time to spend the money, like a week, or the option to destroy the items at the end of the period.

There are 2 that immediately come to mind. Grafted Scion in Elden Ring, and Zhang Liang from Wo Long. Zhang Liang kicked my ass at least 50 times before I learned the counter system in that game. The sad part is he is more difficult than the next 4 bosses combined.

Binding of Isaac Repentance: Dogma and it doesn't help that you've to fight 5 other bosses after it. Good luck beating it as The Lost.

Dogma is the only difficult fight of those 5. Every other boss is fairly easy. Now, if you want to talk difficult, I've recently started playing the Fiend Folio mod for it, and some of the bosses in that mod shit all over the final bosses of the original game. There's a fight you can encounter in the first 2 floors where you fight three ghosts, they are brutally difficult. They spin in a circle and move across the room eventually spinning around you all while shooting bullets at the same time. It's ridiculously difficult for a floor 2 fight.

I think it was an awful game. THAT SAID, there are some things I really like about the game. I love the idea that if your going into an area your not supposed to be in, the game makes it feel like your running through mud and amps the difficulty of that area. I like Sories alternate costume with the black and red. It's the color scheme that should have been used for his 1st costume.

I even like some of the elemental dungeons. But everything else was terrible.

I'm surprised I not only forgot to mention Braska's Final Aeon, no one else has either.

Because that isn't the final boss. Square-Enix has a habit of putting ridiculously easy final bosses as the actual final boss, while the story final boss is the second to last boss. The final boss was Yu Yevon.

Legendia is fantastic. And I'd like to note that the 3D camera perspective didn't start happening until the mid-point of Tales games. It wasn't until Tempest that they started switching to a 3d battle arena.

I think personally there have only been a few bad Tales games. Tales of the Tempest, Zesteria, and Symphonia 2. The last one some love it, I wasn't really a fan. Every other Tales game was a masterpiece in its own right. Some are better than others, but each other one I enjoyed fully. Including Abyss.

I only have the 3, but you need to have a PC able to play Alyx through Steam, it is not actually on the Quest store.

I haven't used the 2 but I enjoy the 3 a lot. Issue is the strap feels weird and the battery life is like, 3 - 4 hours tops.

The pc won't be a problem. I have a new computer I built in December.

Ah, you got it, whatever, hope you enjoy it. I would though next gen recommend going PC instead.

Might be a better option, but there are still times its nice to have a physical console, especially when you have friends come over, as PC split screen really isn't as well known as it could be.

20+ years ago I would have welcomed this. These days I don't want Final Fantasy to besmirch my beloved Dragon Quest. I LOVED Final Fantasy pre-merger good old Squaresoft days. The only one I didn't like was VIII. But these days? Keep that shit away.

funny you say that because Enix didn't make a single Dragon Quest game. They only published the games made by 3rd parties.

To be honest I wouldn't want them to attempt it in the first place. It's only since Octopath 1 that I started liking their games again. Before that it was a mixed bag of mediocrity since the merger, and I wouldn't trust them to do it properly. If it were Squaresoft before the merger attempting it? Absolutely. But Enix at the time was never a developer. They were only ever a publisher. And know how out of touch their Enix side was at the time (seriously, look into it, its wild how many times their own music director prevented them from releasing the full game for his own profit), I can't trust them to release a proper title.

I went for a walk in the park late in the evening, it had been raining earlier that day. I slipped on some loose gravel and broke my right ankle, ripped all the tendons in my left, with the assistance of my buddy I walked 1/2 mile back to our car. Didn't find out it was that until 2 weeks later when I was finally able to get a proper X-Ray done.
