Excited about this!!

I know this is the ultimate cliche answer, but it’s gotta be Sephiroth for me. The original FVII just caught me at that perfect time.

Spoilers ahead…

When you play through FFVII (the original, that is–I haven’t played the remakes yet), you only just hear about Sephiroth at first. Then you see some of the carnage that he’s caused: the President of Shinra dead at his desk and the super difficult snake boss piked on a giant stake.

In one of the flashbacks, he’s doing freaking research. That sounds boring and bland, but it was a level of depth to a villain that most people (or at least I) had never seen before. In another flashback, Cloud as a new recruit is with Sephiroth, and the difference in power is incredible. Sephiroth makes child’s play of this enormous dragon.

The final battle(s) is fantastic, and his theme song–hinted at throughout the game by Uematsu’s classic score–is iconic. Phallic imagery aside, the Masamune blade is simple but super cool. And he freaking kills Aerith?! Can he do that?! A friend of mine stopped playing the game for weeks after he got to that part.

A lot of these things are super common in games now, and I know there are several games before FFVII that had characters with this amount of depth (FFVI comes to mind), but Sephiroth is just the coolest, man!!

Every time I see a Dragon Quest trailer, I’m reminded how lucky we were that the composer for the series was convinced to let them include actual real-life, modern, symphonic recordings of the music for DQIX instead of the dinky computer shit he insists on using.

Oof…

My hover bike always tilts to the side… B-

Huh… At first I thought it was going to be a music game. Butt it’s fine type of Limbo/Inside/Cocoon-inspired puzzle game? Interesting.

Neat idea, but the gameplay seems like it’d be shallow. I’d be interested to read some reviews, though…

Was that really Switch footage?!

This, more than anything I’ve seen on Lemmy or reddit, makes me want to get a 3D printer. I know they’re great for lots of different applications, but this speaks to me.

Oh, Kami and Kami 2 are my favorite puzzle games!!!

Here are my most-used apps:

• Libby
• Todoist
• Pocket Casts
• The Google and Office suite of apps are each pretty good, and I use them a good bit.
• Voyager (for Lemmy)
• Dropbox, AnyList, Acrobat for everyday stuff
• Volume Pro gives you much finer control of the volume
• Sleep Cycle helps with tracking sleep hygiene

A weird AI picture of a phone. Promoting a hydration tracker as “an app you can’t live without.” And your only other post is about another app, and one of your three comments is promoting another app…

I can’t imagine shill accounts are a thing on Lemmy yet, but…

Damn. For what I originally thought was such a stupid idea, that was surprisingly good.

Stardew Valley! My wife (who is normally not a gamer) and I have put 100+ hours into our splitscreen co-op game. It’s very, very fun. :-)

Honestly, though, your list represents hundreds of hours of gaming. So unless you put in some major hours on the reg, I would just focus on what you have instead of what you want to add.

I’ve played MK8D a lot but only casually. I’m ignorant to all this.

When you say characters and parts were buffed, does that mean everyone is slightly faster/better but to different degrees…?

Ha! I’ve never heard of this before, but it looks pretty fun.
