The RPG Thread -> 2023 was a banner year for RPGs. What was your favorite?

Baldur's Gate 3 has taken up all my playing time recently. That game has entirely too much to do and just exploring would get you into some funny hijinks. It's awesome.

Playing with others is fun too, especially when it comes to discussing important matters like if we should rob a merchant blind and sell his stuff back to him or not.

It has co-op?

It has co-op?

Yup. Up to 4 players online or 2p couch co-op. They have in game voting so you can choose what dialogue option to say to NPCs since only one person can talk to them at a time. It's quite well suited for co-op, as long as you're playing with people you trust to make the right decisions. You can totally go off the rails as well if you want to add some chaos to your playthrough. It's literally play how you want.

They have done this before in the past. (Several times if I remember correctly)

I wouldn't read too much into it.

I would welcome a 8 remake just see them ditch the Junctioning system for a more modern style of play. That crap was so bad, I think I spammed GF’s most of the game because Junctioning was such a cluster-****.

Junction system just needs to be explained better, you don’t have to spam GFs. The game actually is very easily broken

I know that now, but 12 year old me didn’t understand having to farm/stock and apply specific magic spells.

X-3 pls

I spammed GFs my first playthrough because i didnt know how to play . When i got a little older and understood the junctioning/stocking system it became my favorite FF game. You definitely had more control over how you played in 8 compared to other FF games.

29 years since the third best Final Fantasy released. Hard to believe, time flies!

It’s my personal favorite because it was my first (7 I was young and didn’t actually play through until I was older) but I think 6 is the best. But I’ve only played VI, VII, IX and XV. Definitely gonna grab the pixel remaster eventually to play IV and V mostly.

danger style rank em
Bad Religion you too I’m curious

I had X-2 and XII too as a kid but couldn’t get into them and haven’t gave them a chance since I got older

Tactics
VI
XII
VII
X
 XVI
IV
VIII

I really hope XVI’s gameplay evolves into something because holy s*** it is trash as of where I am at in the game. Everything else is on point though.

I think FF7 remake’s gameplay is exceptional but this really makes me miss turn based

 

[MajinZuub]

XVI seems to be a pretty polarizing game

These are so dope. I might get a few made for maybe my top 10 games of all time or maybe my favorite game from each gen/console.
