a list of roms i played over the last year and how i feel about them
odin sphere: really pretty, didn't hold my attention
final fantasy 9: got bored by disc 2; quit during disc 4
final fantasy tactics A2: boring, handholding garbage
phoenix wright ace attourney: good
final fantasy 10: nostaglia
valkyria profile covenant of the plume: kill all your friends, fuck new game plus
radiant historia: time travel is cool; good character designs
shadow of the colossus: enjoyed it a lot, loved the art direction, but i realized that fights were pretty facile once you figured out the gimmick
grim grimoire: shit
katamari damacy: pretty great, couldn't beat a level, rage quit
ico: tugs at my hearstrings, bad game
999: good
secret of mana: combat was super lame
breath of fire 4: pretty, boring, quit
breath of fire 5: liked the character designs, got bored 10 min in, quit
dragon quest 9: ugly as sin, boring jrpg tripe
advance wars days of ruin: great
advance wars dual strike: less great
love plus: really creepy, bad character models, shit game
ffxii revenant wings: the worst rts
suikoden tierkrissiis: dumb name
professor layton: good
monster hunter wii: why do people think that fetch quests are a good idea for a videogame
knights in the nightmare: so hard
golden sun dark dawn: downloaded, sat through the 4 minute text intro, saw 10 seconds of the in game character models, shut off the emulator
final fantasy x-2: realized i couldn't 100 percent it 1 hour in, lost interest
devil may cry: terrible camera angles, rage quit
rogue galaxy: shit
pretty much every jrpg in that list has been a huge disappointment with the exception of ffx (which has nostalgic qualities for me) and radiant historia (which had time travel as a prominent feature, and pulled it off competently).
ps: everything square enix has made in the past 5 years has been garbage
