This is a very rude response, as were some of your other responses. But I chalk it up to confusion. My response was quite relevant, but apparently you do not see how. Hopefully you learn some humility so that you can recognize how people here were trying to be helpful to you.

Dishonored and Dishonored 2.

"Fated Children" would technically be Līberī fātī in Latin, not Līberī fātālī. The Latin word fātālis [this is its dictionary form, before the adjective gets inflected for case, number, and gender] actually has a dual meaning: fatal/deadly and predestined. This is likely a conscious play on...

To this day, there is no great way for a non-Japanese speaker to play the original FF4. Back in 2001, J2e released an "uncensored" translation meant to emend some of the "problems" in the Final Fantasy Chronicles version. Turns out they just took the Chronicles script and spammed it with a lot...

When you die, you go on a tour of heaven, hell, and all the places you've ever visited in this life. After that, you face the tollhouses. There is a tollhouse for every vice. At each tollhouse, demons come out to accuse you, both of things you did and things you didn't do. It is the task of your...

I liked the cute factor about the Compy, and the brachiosaur "avoid being stepped on" stage. Otherwise, I agree; it's the second worst segment of the game behind those repetitive T-rex levels. I like grinding. Grinding builds character. People act like it takes no skill to grind, but it does...

I've been feeling some 2000's nostalgia and listening to the song from the Sin City trailer. I absolutely love Hartigan and other Dirty-Harry-type characters.

Well, the game, as you seem to know, was ridiculously hard due to things like poor hit detection and repetitive level design. Actually, the impression that the TV spots had left me with was that it was an open world where you were free to roam the entire island as a T-rex, but of course what I...

Twenty-five years ago, I would have said FFVI. Now, I'd have to say FFVII. In 1997, I decided to get a PlayStation because I wanted to play The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Packed in with the system was the Squaresoft demo disc. My best friend had played what were at that time Final Fantasy II and...

The following is a poem inspired by the fiction of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Germanic myth. It is written in an artificial dialect of Elizabethan/Jacobite English that purposely uses German idiomatic phrases with their English equivalents, often diverting into Anglish, which is an artificial...

Yeah, I've played Lost Odyssey, and while I did enjoy it, I just couldn't get into it enough to finish it. Maybe it's Shadow Hearts's prerendered backgrounds, or maybe I just find the characters much more interesting. I normally don't take to gothic-style horror, but it has me.

So I finally went and did it. I hacked my PS2 to run ISOs off a hard drive, and so I finally started playing an RPG that I remember seeing advertised back in the day but didn't have the money for: Shadow Hearts. Imagine if you took Legend of Dragoon's battle system and grafted it into a...

I collect the ones for Fire Emblem and Zelda. Right now, the crown jewel of my collection is Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles.

How "classic" are we talking, here? Like, the ATB gauge is for taking just any action, or for magic, etc. specifically?

Not concerns so much as complaints. I was convinced I wasn't going to be a release-day buyer from the moment I saw they were ditching the ATB battle system in favor of KH. I think Square-Enix has a serious problem of forgetting that Final Fantasy is a role-playing series, not Secret of Mana with...
