Rango 04/06/21 2:40:25 AM #73:	ChaosTonyV4 posted... Ending is pretty wild. It's so funny since it's the cherry on top. Coming from Persona 5 and dozens of other RPGs and fantastic games alike, Persona 3 FES managed to impress me the first time I played it in 2019. Just something about the whole style, aesthetic, and overall gameplay that just suits me perfectly. Even if I admit it's flawed, some of its worst issues come from the time of its era (no save points in the Arcana dungeons) which themselves are curbed by relatively easy boss fights. Yet in owning a PS2 since 2004, this managed to be my favorite game on the system. --- http://tinyurl.com/jfdvuhu <cite>Rango posted [p:952517055] in When's the...

_SecretSquirrel 05/12/21 5:27:22 AM #88:	Waluigi1 posted... You know I guess I could say Xenoblade remastered for me. It was my first time finishing it. My Remastered playthrough was pretty much almost a blind playthrough, which is part of the reason that particular cutscene shocked me. When I say almost blind, I knew going in, probably from discussions of this game on Board 8, that Fiora was a pretty key character in the game, but I didn't know much beyond that. So it blew my mind that Fiora gets shredded by Metal Face in that first notable cutscene. I correctly guessed that we would be pulling her from the brink of death later on, partially due to that meta-knowledge and the fact that she was the only failure of Shulk's visions for a long time, which made her a suspicious outlier. But when the cutscene delivers that fucking hard, particularly the one-two punch of Engage the Enemy and Shulk's excellently voice acted "I'LL KILL YOU" line, I was surprised that this wasn't as iconic of a moment as FF7's End of Disc One regardless of Fiora's final fate. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!
