Benice Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Oof. My favorite game is up against one that's actually popular. I find it hilarious that Berwick went farther than Skyward Sword... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benice Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Let's go, Berwick's not losing! Yet. I have no doubts that it's toast. Oh, R.I.P. Bracket three. Only no opinion votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yexin Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 although every cell, every proton, neutron and electron of my body, my guardian angel and my potential doppelgängers refuse to see 3H placing higher than Xeno2, Automata and Final Fantasy X, what is left for me to do is simply suggest those who haven't played these games to seriously reconsider their life choices give them a try, they're damn good games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFlames Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thank me later. Echoes vs. Radiant Dawn is actually kind of hard, since I love both. And I haven't played Chrono Trigger, but seeing what it is up against I'll vote for it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bad for its era. The quintessential peppy 16-bit JRPG, with a cast of characters that tries to be charming despite the era's usual shortage of wordy character interactions. Throw in some time traveling, visible enemy encounters (unusual for the time), ATB, and Dual and Triple Techs for some mid-battle teamwork. It most likely won't live up to the IT'S A CLASSIC! hype it's been given over the years, but I think it's fairly good if you don't let that get in the way. A few obscure secrets later in the game, but if you played it, I'd be willing to tell you them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured I would add onto what @Interdimensional Observer said, and add that it was highly influential as well, being the first game with a New Game +. It was also a game with the guts to kill off the mostly silent protagonist in the story, and making his revival optional; had a key moment early in the game where it made you think about the consequences of your action in the game's world, and not just the game's mechanics; and finally having scenes which in other games would be scripted losing battles, but here if you did grind up enough to be able to win it, you do. Plus Akira Toriyama's work as a character designer gives it a distinctive look. Now it is still a SNES game, with all the trapping involved with that, but it earned its status as a classic JRPG.

Thanks for the detailed explanations, but in all honesty, after not really liking what I got in Dragon Quest V, the label "classic JRPG" is one that immediately makes me wary of it. ATB battle systems I am not really a fan of in general (exceptions exist, but that's less the ATB system on its own and more the execution of it), and Akira Toriyama's character designs aren't exactly something I'm entirely a fan of, either. Not that I doubt that the game is good, but I'm convinced that it's not something I would enjoy, based off of past experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Radianto Dawn gets the top pick from me. But which to choose of the lower two? CT is good, but Ys VIII is a much more recent experience for me, one that did touch me enough to trigger my depression and make me not want to return to it again. CT because I wanted to get every ending I think I played to the point of burnout as well. Rather than abstain, I think I'll pick Dana.

null Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Ah, heck. I'm going Radiant Dawn. BotW is great, but nothing beats the satisfying difficulty of making my way through the game chapter-by-chapter. That and the presence of an actual, quality story make it the better game.

Benice Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yeesh...RD was quite good, but bits of it were very weak...The same can be said for BotW, though... Mmm...BotW it is! And I've never heard of the other two, so no opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I'mma go with Ys 8 and RD. While I couldn't get into the gameplay of Ys 8, that was due to my own incompetence and less the game being bad. And RD is the obvious choice since I never played BotW. I never played Chrono Trigger either, for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Breath of the wild has to pull through!! It’s a massive, open world Zelda adventure :0 you can do it botw!!
