Why?

because typically you want to keep your baby on a calm and steady routine, first of all

secondly because airports/planes are germ-ridden cesspools

thirdly because they're public spaces and your baby might pitch a fit at any minute

to be honest, parents should just accept that they're not going to be flying with their young child except for emergencies. you get to drive for a while. family gets to come to you.

if it is an emergency and your kid can't calm down, you should feel apologetic for your kid disturbing others - doesn't matter if it's not your fault

The original was my first experience too (I remember playing for about an hour at a friend's house).

But the first actual game in the series I owned, enjoyed, and beat was IV (2 NA). Immediately hooked. So if you aren't feeling the original I recommend just skipping to IV

I know this is more of a stand by you that MMO design is inherently predatory, but I'm curious if you'd enjoy FF14 as a single-player experience

FF14 - from a pure gameplay experience as a single player game - would need a lot of work for me to enjoy it. First, at least a hundred hours of fetch quests/go talk to an NPC quests would need to be removed.

Story-wise, I'm willing to believe the expansions are really good. But I will never know, because the game is simply not fun to me, since I'm not into the MMO aspect. With the Trust system I got to avoid the anxiety that I feel when I play with others, but that anxiety was replaced with a battle system that's simple to a fault. (I played Paladin though so maybe that was a bad choice).

I remember seeing a big Trails thread about Renne on this board awhile ago, that I avoided since I was in the middle of a Trails playthrough. Now that I've gotten through CS at least, I feel better about reading these.

I believe the title of this thread was "Renne sucks" which is why I posted "Renne sucks" earlier.

Also, she sucks

Hard disagree on that. Gran Pulse is actually probably the weakest part of 13. It's just a big wide open basin with side areas that barely interconnect and that offers no joy of navigation. Like, you know what it reminds me of? Bad MMO zone design, because that is 100% what it is. It doesn't even have the grace of being just one bit of the sidequesting like the Calm Plains in FFX, it's where like 95% of the content that isn't story in the game is. It also has the two worst superbosses in a mainline nonsequel FF, too, easily (the super Adamantoises barely even count as superbosses and Vercingetorix is an exercise in boredom and noninteractivity).

agree to disagree, I guess. In all honesty one reason I think it was good is because I disliked the intense linearity of the stuff that came before it. So perhaps its only good in comparison.

Also FFXIII is still the only mainline FF I've only played once, and this was when it came out, so it is extremely hazy in my mind.

the only major issue I have with p5R is that it definitely is too easy

if it was able to be challenging the entire way through I think it would be a fine length.

but this is just a part of the persona 3 and later model. they all get way too easy at around the midpoint, so that the ends feel drawn out

Sounds like it's been a few years since your vanilla p5 playthrough, so this might be fresher than playing p4 and then p4g right after.

but yeah, it's long. this is generally a good thing, but I do think that p5 royal is too long by about ten hours or so.

the additional story content in royal is much better than the additional content in p4g

As a random example, FF13 sold a million copies in a day upon launch. It's gotten bad that 300k in week is the PS5's record.


This is what I'm talking about. I'm pretty sure sales numbers are way down in Japan compared to where they were ten, even five years ago. Covid is maybe a part but it seems like physical is dead (not just in Japan but largely everywhere).

Arise did very well.

One would think this translates to a solid effort for the series moving forward.

But of course, the new Symphonia release happened....

for some reason I thought Arise didn't do well. whoops. I was just under the impression that Japanese gamers weren't buying physical games anymore for some reason. I know that the latest Trails games bombed, but that could just be because they're bad / Falcom can't market their way out of a paper bag

You can also use your imagination and pretend that they had a little argument, or that Temenos had a sassy reaction to it, or whatever.

Part of the reason I like these games so much is that they inspire my imagination in ways that video games haven't since the Ps1 era.

Oh. It only works if the game is new. Not on preowned.

So Octopath is $45 for this deal, and most of the rest are also higher.

Xenoblade, for example, is the full $60 when using this deal. Same for Bayonetta.

Dang, you're right. My bad. Knew it was too good to be true.

Make sure you find Octopath 2 via the "OMG Sale Banner" from the Gamestop homepage. If you find the game via the sale page, you should see a green "B1G1 Free Select Software Titles" tag applied. If you don't see the green tag it won't give it to you. Yeah, the website is pretty janky.

Octopath 2 at $40 and you get another game though?

Is that what I'm reading

The games all vary in price. You buy one of those games you get another (cheaper one) on the list for free.

If you bought Octopath for $40, and you only want another Switch game, you could get FE Warriors, "Star Trek Prodigy Supernova," or the "Cobra Kai" game.

My recommendation would probably be two copies of Octopath 2 in that case (assuming you haven't played / can't play Tales of Arise or Scarlet Nexus)

If anything it's the best time to get Xenoblade 3 if you haven't, because you can get Octopath 2 (an even better game) for free!
