Are there physical copies of any of the FF games on Switch? I thought they were going to be only digital.
You know, I always forget that FFVII Remake is a "thing" and that it wasn't just a fever dream I had during a bad trip.
TBH as a hardcore fan, I don't even care about the 7 Remake that much at this point. Knowing modern Square Enix, it'll take a very long while and if it comes out and doesn't live up to my expectations, I'll always have the original.
Honestly, my hopes are so dashed that I think even Chrono Break is more likely to happen than that, even if it's an irrational thought. At the very least, Square has shown they've cared about the Chrono series, so there's that. There's a reason why I've stepped back a lot from Operation Starfall and let other people handle the big stuff. I've just lost a lot of hope and heart at this point.
I suggest more classic turn-based if you're a beginner.
I just looked it up again. Prime 4 TGA rumors were based on a retailer accidentally list the game with a release date shortly before. Insiders basically said they don't know about prime 4, but they know Prime triolgy will be there and we just assumed they kind of went together. So all they got baited on was Prime trilogy.
This reminds me of one of those "Where are they now segments" at the end of stories.
I don't understand why you feel that way.
I wont tell you to invest more time into it because maybe it's best for you to focus on something else, whatever it may be, but I think Geno still has a shot for a potential Season 2 or Smash 6. If I remember, Square didn't choose Cloud. Sakurai approached them and asked for Cloud. This means if Sakurai wanted to, he could just approach them when he has the time and resources and get to work on him, and he knows people want Geno too. It's not 0%.
I wish it ACTUALLY is a thing.
This but with the Friends theme playing in the background.
Honestly, I wish I could say that, but my gut is telling me no. I'm gonna listen to my gut and not lose my mind to false glimmers of hope.
That's pretty sad to hear. Sorry you go through that.
If it's any consolation, you are way nicer then some other Geno fans I met. Who knows, if the rumor of those 15 characters and additional season passes are indeed true, you can always keep your hopes up. No matter how small it is.
That's a little bit of consolation, yeah.
The Smash fandom is really bad, I won't beat around the bush, but please remember that general video game fans who grew up with / played Super Mario RPG would all like to see Geno or Mallow, and that an insular community like this one doesn't represent them all. I think you do already know this, but we can all use a reminder about this sort of thing nonetheless.
As spoken in Dragon Quest 11.
Love it or hate it, its soundtrack is impressive.CC has its issues, but its such a pretty and atmospheric game. Furthermore, by the end of this year, it will be 20 years since its release. Which is the perfect time to play it again.
Ah, no, I'm far from a beginner. Out of the ones you've listed, I've played DQ and FF, the first three Paper Mario's, SMRPG, Mario & Luigi except Paper Jam, and Tales of Symphonia (and D&D too, heh). I've been meaning to try out Quest 64 since I've seen you and another person recommend it so much. RPGs are my favorite genre of videogames, actually!I suggest more classic turn-based if you're a beginner.
Final Fantasy 1 is a bit difficult, but is fairly simple and gives you lots of options even then. It's not too complicated in figuring out where to go. You usually won't be too confused. You got a big enough inventory(except for spells, as it uses spell slots akin to Dungeons & Dragons) to get you through.
Dragon Quest 1 is far easier, though if you're playing the NES version, be prepared for an excessive amount of menu stuff. Gameboy version or similar updates are recommended for a far more balanced experience. The limited inventory can make do any key items you need really annoying to deal with.
If you're going for more open world in 3D, Paper Mario is pretty traditional, as well as tons of puzzles. Thousand Year Door is the same way, just more updated. The other 3 Paper Mario games(not including Paper Jam) are still good games in many ways(though I do agree Sticker Star would at least be underwhelming overall. I liked the game, but the dialogue was eh, and the levels up being almost nonexistent was silly. Color Splash has some similar issues, but makes it feel a lot more like a real rpg in comparison). Super Mario RPG is surprisingly less puzzle heavy than the PM series, but still totally worth playing. It does suffer from some confusing spots for items at times, like all the frog coins. Mario & Luigi is kind of hard at times, due to way too "perfect timing" being needed. Still a great series, but I felt Paper Mario was always better balanced. Part of it is the more simple set of HP/Defense/Agility/etc. The stats are kept simple, which can actually make it more engaging at times. I don't know if you've played all 3 of the Mario rpg series, but they each have their own key differences for inventories; the first 3 Paper Mario games have severely limited inventories overall, much like Super Mario RPG(which has a pretty big inventory, but it still works like Dragon Quest 1, so items being equipped still count as part of your full inventory, and not separated). Sticker Star and Color Splash have way bigger ones, but also have a different gameplay to justify that. I might be remembering SMRPG's inventory a little off, though. It's still reasonably sized. Mario & Luigi are decently big inventories too. In fact, I can't remember ever running out of space? Paper Mario, that said, has key items for your basic hammer/boot upgrades, so they don't take up any inventory space.
The other 3D game I can think of that has very traditional level ups(well, moreso you need pure experience. I guess MMORPG's can apply similarly?) is Quest 64. I mention this only cause it's a hard turn-based system where there is no time limit. It being in 3D means it's about aiming your attacks properly, and you can actually move after an enemy goes, allowing you to, if you want to, dodge many spells. It also means you can literally walk under a giant rock(for example. If you're close enough to some enemies, it'll fly over you, since it literally is generated above you or the monster using it). The battle system is pretty good for an eh game. I mean, the game looks reasonable(low polygon count, but definitely has inspired designs) and sound pretty good for midis. It still suffers from convoluted stuff, not unlike Dragon Quest 1. The good news is that outside of a confusing dungeon at best, there is no key items that are hard to figure out where they are or how to use them in combination. The bad news is the dungeons are arguably more difficult to navigate. It's still a beginner's rpg, with a very simplistic story(and considering its design, it's pretty close to a 3D-like Dragon Quest 1 in many ways. It even has tons of nearly identical spells, and some items are extremely similar too. Though to be fair, every rpg has your typical "low health" recovery item and most usually have at least 2-3 that heal a bit more).
I wouldn't recommend stuff like Tales of as it's really really confusing. The battle system not so much, but the actual places to go and with often multiple endings can be bad for beginners. It's a great series, and great for those who like to replay, though. I still love Symphonia, though.
And if not clear, from my understanding is you want a nice beginner's rpg to work with. Or at least easier to get into overall and complete.
You could try out the Ni No Kuni games. I have no idea if you played Dragon Quest 11 but that game too. Maybe Castlevania Symphony of the Night since that's just a hybrid of a bunch of stuff.
Quest doesn't require general grinding, and is very easy to beat if you have some prior knowledge. Albeit, the dungeons are a mess. But even if you just collect a few spirits as you see them, and at best, grinding Defense once in a while, you'll make it through fast. There's no equipment in the game at all, so that's an upside. The lack of a monetary system can be a good thing(though I do admit the game does feel underwhelming in how it handles items, bar the fact that you not buying 'em means you can't just rip through the game that way. You either get 'em through treasure chests or drops. I'd recommend the Japanese version since it allows up to 3 items to drop, but it's still comparatively harder). Other ways is maybe using a few codes to speed it up. I always have "restore MP while running in battle as well as a bit faster", "all spells learned at level 1", and "stats go up and lowest experience needed". Once I figure out how to make my "max stat" higher via another code, I can make my max defense something like 1,000.
This is my main fear with FF7 remake too. That they get rid of the central battle system to accommodate new hardware. If anything they should've just evolved what they already had. And I can guarantee that there are people that are just itching for the Active TBS again.

Sigh. I can't believe Princess Zelda ****ing dies in Final Fantasy 7. Way to spoil it, Nintendo.
I would love to be able to play Ni No Kuni, but I never owned a PS3 and while I intended to buy Revenant Kingdom, other games took priority, but it's definitely in the backlog.
I have a soft spot for Final Fantasy II. I will never understand why its system of leveling up stats by doing the specific action never took off, I feel like it could have been revolutionary. It's a great idea to remake it! It's better to give games that might not have been huge hits a second chance than to remake games everyone played, at least in my opinion. (Then again I bought RE2 like everyone else, so I'm partly to blame for the trend)
I feel that the Operation Starfall has always been a great idea, most of the issue with Geno is just showing SE and Nintendo that they can make money with him. I feel that a lot of the Mario cast that could appear for Smash like Geno or Waluigi could benefit from appearing in more games more than just focusing on smash. I think that there's a good chance for Geno to reappear in or out of smash in the future.
Funny thing is that while its officially a sequel, I wish Chrono Cross was considered more of a spinoff considering it deals more with alternate dimensions and the artstyle is completely different from the original. It is an awesome game with awesome music though.
Unless FFIV lets you raise stats by attacking your own party members... I meant the literal II.
Yes you should
Glad to know.
It's the best version of the game right now
This is just amplifying my hype on top of the Dragon Quest 11 news.
How so?
Steam version plus Fast Forward feature and the fastest loading times
If it is that good, then I will pick the Switch port without a doubt.
