This would've been Final Fantasy back in 2001 or so Currently: Wheel of Time > Star Wars > Final Fantasy > Mass Effect > Lord of the Rings > Harry Potter > Star Trek > Stranger Things > The Expanse > Narnia I love everything from Harry Potter up, and ST/ST are both excellent. LotR is weird to compare to the others since I love the movie trilogy and don't particularly care about anything else. Likewise Star Trek: I love Next Generation and like several parts, but there are definitely some huge low points (Picard, Discovery, Enterprise, S2/S3 of TOS...). Star Wars and FF have big low points too, but their high points are too high. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I have no idea what this ranking is based on because I think there is zero consistency. Star Wars > Lord of the Rings > The Expanse > Mass Effect > Stranger Things > Final Fantasy > Harry Potter > Narnia Not ranked: Star Trek, Wheel of Time. Arguably I shouldn't rank Narnia because I read the series back in like elementary or middle school so I remember very little but eh. Final Fantasy and up are good IMO. --- May you find your book in this place. Formerly known as xp1337. ... Copied to Clipboard!

so i've beaten like 4 FF games, seen the 9 mainline star wars movies, read the hobbit/LOTR and seen the 2001 trilogy, read/watched the mainline harry potter series, and watched 2 seasons of stranger things. back in the day i also read a lot of star wars EU stuff and might have had some paraphernalia in video games, toys, etc but none of them is really worth chatting here seen a few episodes of WOT and expanse a my rankings: ELITE harry potter books LOTR films ff6 VEEY GOOD star wars 3, 4, 5 ff7, 8 GOOD the hobbit ff4 stranger things star wars 6, 7, 8 MEH harry potter films LOTR books star wars 1, 2 HILARIOUSLY AWFUL star wars 9 --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...

The Rings of Power Episode 3 complete! Liking the show so far. The various plotlines are all pretty interesting. Getting to see Numenor and meet Isildur was pretty cool.

Xenoblade 3: Completed. I am feeling many emotions right now and should probably try to process them better before writing but since when have I ever done that. For the non-spoiler part of this post I'll just say this: Excellent game. Absolutely joins XS3 and Xenoblade X as my favorites in the Xeno series. Because I am emotional right now I'd say it could give a run for the top but probably once I settle down XS3 will remain on top but Blade 3 v X is legit. Definitely the best of the numbered Xenoblades. Okay, spoiler time. Didn't start postgame yet will do that next time. may cry first. --- May you find your book in this place.

Xenoblade 3 ending spoilers + Xenoblade 1 and 2 spoilers. That Rex picture is something else isn't it? Like with Pyra and Mythra it sort of makes sense as the natual extension of how Xenoblade 2 ended. But, Nia came as a surprise. Also, I don't recall exactly what Xenoblade 2 said about Blades being able to have children. I think they sort of can since that's where new titans come from? I was also a bit disappointed how little the old Xenoblade 1 and 2 cast played in the main story. Even Melia and Nia don't show up until the very end. I sort of like how Xenoblade 2 did it where the developers lied and said the game was unrelated to Xenoblade 1 so it was a cool surprise when it turned out it wasn't. But Xenoblade 3 sort of felt like it was suppsed to have stronger connections but Xenoblade 1 and 2 stuff didn't really show up that often. Wait, are the worlds actually just passing by each other? The two worlds splitting apart just seemed to come out of nowhere to me. I also thought the idea was that the two worlds were going to combine permanently until the ending where they suddenly weren't and I had no idea why. I'm not sure what the very end scene was about. Like I think it was only the playable Noah that met up with Eunie and Lanz and that should have been inside the Endless Now. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

Okay, okay, I am so sorry and I truly hope this is the last time I post unprompted about this but this has genuinely hit me in a way that nothing has in nearly 20 years, if ever and I am just emotionally overwhelmed. I literally just tried to cry myself to sleep because I just couldn't deal anymore again. So, like. Obviously I like stories, and I like video games and so I've read/experienced/played a lot of them. Not as many as some, and heck maybe even on the low end here on Board 8 but still. I like to engross myself in them in what is surely partially an exercise in escapism so I tend to connect pretty viscerally with them at times. When I finish one oftentimes there might be a slight wistful feeling or maybe nothing at all. In rare cases, like say a Trails in the Sky the 3rd or Chaos;Child I may be left with a bit of an emotional hollow feeling as if in having reached the end I feel like it gripped deep enough into me and gouged out a piece of me now that it's gone. It doesn't happen that often but is pretty much always a sign that a story really touched or resonated with me. But given some process time and actually going to sleep it gets better. It's why I joke sometimes that when I'm doing insta-reactions that things will surely come back down to Earth the next day or two. That's not happening here. It's getting worse. The more time I have to spend turning XB3's ending (and the game as a whole in light of that) in my mind that feeling is getting worse. It's resonating with me on deeper and more personal levels the more deeply I think about it. And fuck it's tearing me apart. I think the only other media I can think of that has impacted me like this is Evangelion back when I was a teenager and the more I try to consider why that is the more I'm concluding it's because I feel like I'm facing a reflection of myself in them and it hurts. It's beautiful to me but it also just really fucking hurts. Takahashi, you don't know me but I need to call in a favor here, Like, dammit, to hell with it the more I ruminate on this, fuck it - Xenoblade 3 is my new #1. If it can do this to me, it almost has to be. Fuck. .......Also while I said I hope this is the last time I bring this up unprompted because I must sound like a fucking crazy person and also a lot of discussion would require spoiler bars and I really do feel bad about filling the topic with them this won't be the last XB3 post because I still have to start the postgame some time.

LeonhartFour 09/11/22 3:24:31 PM #29: |
Yeah, FFVIII is the game that resonated with me like that. I just played it at the perfect time in my life as a 13-year-old. I doubt it'd have had the same impact if I had played it any time other than my teenage years, but because I still remember how this game made me feel and how I see myself every time I peer into Squall's depths, it'll always be my favorite game. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png ...

Xenoblade 2 chapter 4 beated. Game is still good, but progress has been a bit slow mostly because I am also trying to finish grad school this semester, and video games tend to be the first of my hobbies to get sacrificed when I need time for other things.

Went ahead and did the Torna DLC for Xenoblade 2 Felt extremely padded, especially with all the sidequests, but it was cool. Significantly better than Future Connected, I think. --- A hero cannot be defeated simply by making him die. ... Copied to Clipboard!

TeamRocketElite 09/12/22 2:39:29 AM #38: |
Torna DLC is very good but it is padded due to the mandatory side quest completion checks. Even if you do every side quest, it isn't even possible to pass the second check before doing the quests that open at the same time. With that said, I did enjoy growing the Community and getting to know all the NPCs so I did all the quests anyways. Torna DLC spoilers The ending hit me hard even though I knew exactly what was supposed to happen. RIP Lora ;_; --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

I think I finished up everything I want to in Xenoblade 3 Xenoblade 3 post-game spoilers The Nia and Melia side quests were very good. They make me want more but there isn't anymore. ;_; Also the Xenoblade 1 and 2 music kinda drives how much more more I liked the music in those games compared to 3. Although, the Xenoblade 3 Chain Attack song is really good which is nice because it plays a lot. >_> I went through the ending again and it still takes like 90 minutes even with maxed out characters. I'm also sad all over again at the ending. I'll start a New Game+ someday but probably not immediately. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

I just finished watching Sonic X. I've been slowly watching it over the last few months when I'm home alone watching my son (I'd normally watch an episode when I fed him). I liked the show, but there's such mood whiplash between seasons. Season 1 felt like it wanted to be a silly kids show where Sonic and company interact with humans. Season 2 decided it wanted to adapt Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 (and randomly, Sonic Battle). Season 3 became an outer space adventure saving the galaxy from a group of X-Deaths. It does have some cool moments though despite its flaws. It's not something I'd watch again, but as a filler show to kill time with my son, it got the job done...!
