I don't agree. The reason to stray away from a repetitive strategy is because it's more fun and more interesting to change things up. This is essentially the same reason to do things other than just spamming some repetitive strategy in any given FF game. Unlike a series like Shin Megami Tensei, Final Fantasy in general isn't difficult enough to force you to use strategy and tactics--it just offers excellent systems to play around with that allow lots of different strategies and tactics.

The main problem here is FF13 doesn't give you any freedom to change thins up either. You get access to the entire party for what, the last 2 chapters of the game? Same with paradigm roles, everyone is locked into the same ones through the majority of the game - and even when you do allow them to branch out the points required to level those other roles are absurdly high.

I didn't hate my time with it, but the cast is unlikeable for the first 70 or 80% of the story and the combat never grabbed me. I also just don't like the story, it buries all of its lore in codex entries which I do not give a single fuck about reading, ever.

My main beef with the combat is there is no real reason to ever stray away from just auto battling and using the exact same strategy, you'll complete the game just fine and maybe some boss fights might take longer than if you optimized. Start each fight with your buff/debuff classes, switch to your stagger gauge building classes, then after the stagger switch to pure DPS, rinse and repeat. So in the end you get something that's more or less just as mundane as old turn-based combat, just a lot flashier looking.

Probably one of those games I'll just never go back to. OST is good as hell though.

she was only in the one episode but years later the actress got to play a new character in the show that was recurring as the janitors future wife

The dude that plays Lonnie very briefly shows up as an extra in the very first episode as well.

If he was offered un/under insured motorist PD coverage and declined, he might have no options at that point.

I'm not surprised. No one wants to commit to buying games on this new platform. Maybe it could've worked if it was a cross-buy situation. Or maybe you can pay a monthly sub to stream any game you already own on another platform.

Throw in the fact that a lot of people still struggle with shitty broadband choices or shitty data caps, and you have an interesting idea that just doesn't work in the current climate.

Yeah whenever I reflect on gen 2 it just seems to be half baked. Little obnoxious things like making you wait until Kanto for Houndour, or how you're bumping into Pidgeys and Rattatas more often than new gen 2 Pokemon. I specifically remember being so excited to walk into the tall grass on that first route only to bump into a Pidgey and being like... "Really, that's it?"

So glad Sun/Moon brought things back to form.

Sun/Moon took everything bad about Pokemon and amped it up to 11 while fixing just one thing (removing HMs). It's insultingly linear and there's so much shallow unskippable dialogue it is pretty much impossible for me to go back to.

So he was given a bigger budget for voices and hired someone more expensive?

Seems like it wasn't enough budget because Kiefer has a handful of lines and spends most cutscenes just being talked at by all the other characters. He's practically a silent protagonist

Fuck that game was disappointing
