I believe you are being what RPG circles call a "grognard"

I never think about the Roman Empire; why would I waste my time thinking about second-rate Ancient Greece?

Yeah I remember being 12 and thinking I understood everything too

Sir there are literal Nazis online.

Perhaps. But just because duck à l'orange is the superior dinner entree doesn't mean I can't still be perfectly satisfied with a nice grilled ribeye steak.

Black Widow is a good film tho?

Youngkin continues to prove that he is an actual monster who only cares about the absolute worst elements in our society

Definitely. I also think it's probably the song that stands on it own without the context of the album the best, even if it isn't my favorite. Definitely wasn't trying to disparage your song choice - it's absolutely the right song to use to showcase the album if you can only choose one ✌️👍

A tremendous album. I feel like my love for this particular song has waned just a little bit over the years, but the rest of the album still delivers for me, no question

Yep, that's why I brought Tales of up in the discussion; glad you agree on the similarities despite their differences too

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I agree with all of that. My personal biggest issue is the combat, but it isn't the only issue and it isn't the biggest issue with the idea of the game as a concept.

But unfortunately SqEnix recognized FF7 for the cash cow that it is, and seem fully-devoted to milking it for every last drop it can offer

I can only speak to my experience. I love the depth of FF7's turn-based strategic combat, meanwhile I literally haven't finish the first FF7R entry yet because I keep literally falling asleep during combat. I'm not being hyperbolic, I'm not being facetious, I literally have fallen asleep dozens of times during combat trying to finish that damn game.

If the combat speaks to you and you enjoy it, that's awesome and I'm glad it can deliver to you what you need. But for me, I think it's even worse than the combat in Tales of Berseria and I hate the combat in the Tales of series.

I love action games and I love RPGs, I just personally rarely find half-measure crossover gameplay styles satisfying.
