peter gabriel posted:So, I'd like to change all that, I like games from the 16 bit era onwards mainly, and after decades of games coming out it's a bit overwhelming knowing where to start, any tips? When it comes to classic Final Fantasy games, I would not bother starting any earlier than at least Final Fantasy 4. The games before that were relatively primitive and just less fun. Of the SNES trilogy (4/5/6) FF5 is my personal favourite due to the job system that it pioneered. It's just the most fun from a gameplay perspective and it has the classic "elemental crystals are important, go save the crystals" premise that defined the early Final Fantasy series without turning into too much of a stereotypically convoluted Final Fantasy plot. It's a very light and enjoyable game that suits casual very well, where 4 and 6 are all about their epic plotlines.

Can't go wrong with A Link To The Past. Final Fantasy IV (originally released as II in the west) would be a good one to start on if you haven't played RPG as it's mechanically the simplest, but the original western snes release was cut down in unfortunate ways, so go for a later one. The DS version is a remake, not a remaster and kind of divisive, but I haven't played it myself. If you had played other RPGs but just not final fantasy somehow FFVI is a frequent contender for best in the series. It's also not super complicated, you could start there if you wanted, but it's more complicated than FFIV. Both series, outside of a small number of direct sequels, don't have any meaningful ties between the games so you aren't missing out on anything not starting from the beginning.

Awesome thanks, I'll start with A Link To The Past! My gaming time is low enough that that will do me for ages if I dig it, I am sure I will, I loved most Nintendo stuff back then and it's always so highly praised I'm certain I'll like it

It's rare that you see three goons just spontaneously agree with each other like that, but Link To The Past is just that good.

Yeah that's a slam dunk for sure, one thing I do know about old JRPGs on here is they can be divisive This weekend then - LTTP, CRT, tons of cheetos

Yeah, LTTP did so much right out of the gate. Graphics are iconic, but a little simple for today, but the game world has all sorts of little things for you to kick around. And yes, play it blind, lift every rock, bash every bush, swat every chicken. As far as 16-bit Final Fantasies on SNES, I’m not sure if they’re really a “you just had to grow up with them”. I pick up dragon quest 3 and 4 on NES and they don’t have much staying power for me.

I am only going to give you one, maybe two tips right now. And they are going to be super vague so... Dont forget you can throw bombs over things and try throwing everything you can into the water when given the chance.

I used to go into Time Trial mode of Mario Kart 64 and just explore certain tracks, mostly royal speedway and explore the courtyard. I also did this in Double Dash if I recall.

When the driving instructor in parappa the rapper says "When I say Boom Boom Boom, you say Bam Bam Bam, no pause in between, come on let's jam" she is not just laying down a scat beat, she is in fact telling you exactly what the rhythm is for the upcoming section. I realized this five minutes ago. I have played through the game several times over the past twenty years
