ffta is fun because you do one two three tricks and then you're insanely powerful and crushing dreams for the rest of the game

From what I understand, that's also the story of the game. Except you're doing it to your friends.

It's funny how FFTA utterly bungles its message of how escapism is bad and just makes the protagonist look like the main villain.

"Okay guys, time to genocide this world so we can go back to our pathetic, miserable lives."

it's either not a real world or its a real world where a bunch of people got turned into mindless monsters and zombies and poo poo, either way it's not good to be keeping it around

It'll probably be terrible/get worst but for now its a lot of fun for me.

It rather loses the point of the message when Ivalice is supposed to be a real world, like even if people from their own world were turned into monsters it doesn't realy justify trying to wipe out Ivalice and all its sentient population.

FF12's story is quite good once you realized the main character was added at the last moment to make the game appeal to younger people.

FF12's story is good its just that its barely there, which is the biggest problem.

I like games where you play as a grizzled and crotchety old man. Like The Last of Us and to a lesser degree The Witcher 3.

Yeah but then they get to be alive again and not goblins. I mean, one could ask "what's better, working at Taco Bell as a cashier or being a fantasy goblin," I don't know the answer to that. I've been one of those and it was pretty terrible.

That star fox cartoon was great. I got a real Sealab/Frisky Dingo vibe from it but it had its own thing going on. Got a few laughs.

That is literally the story if they actually went through with Basch as the main character.

It reminded me of Venture Bros more than anything. I really like Wolf in it, they were really great at getting across what their interpretation of him is pretty quickly.

Wow, if those were displayed in a list so I could read the titles, I might be able to skim through them and see if there is anything I want, but gently caress reading the stylized text on thumbnails to see what the loving games are.

Good news! There's a button at the bottom that says "View Full List" that does exactly what you're asking for!

The guy who makes it has been doing animation on the internet for like 15 years. It's weird that a dude I first saw drinking Windex on Albinoblacksheep and drawing conservative furry comics about his crush on Ann Coulter on Livejournal actually wound up making something good.

The best Final Fantasy, both gameplay and plotwise, is FFX-2. Everybody says 6 for streetcred or like 4 if you're a real contrarian hero, but search your heart, and you know it to be true. X-2 is the best.
