Oh, you mean "Kingdom Hearts without the Disney?"
Because its basically the same game, engine-wise.
I don't like it. I liked FF7 the game. Not just the story; I liked the actual JRPG.
Its nice to see Avalanche and other minor NPCs get more play, and a more detailed Midgar, but the game itself? Nah. Kingdom Hearts with a buster sword for a keyblade is not my jam.

In the next installment of, "Tacticslion is a good parent, don't @me." we are playing through the original FF7, and we just got out of Midgar! That's where we're calling it for the night.
The trauma isn't going to happen soon.
... or maybe it will. We shall see how quickly we burn through the rest of this.
Hate that game so much.

I am getting mixed signals.
What?

I will say I far prefer FF6, and long held disdain for FF7 because it simply wasn't as good (nor was as ensemble) as FF6, but a lot of people love it and it was, simply, not actually a bad game (for game play).
I have a lot of issues with the story, but it's better than some FFs, and as I've aged I've come to compare it favorably in some regards (though not all) to FF4.
(Secretly, I think I actually like FF8, but I give myself whiplash when determining if I do or not - sometimes it's great, and sometimes it's terrible, so I'unno. Over-all I think I like it better than the grime of FF7, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , you know?)

I never played Kingdom Hearts.

A guy walks into a bar and is surprised to see his family doctor there, so he walks over to join him. "What a coincidence!" the guy says. "I was just saying earlier today that I really needed a doctor's appointment." The doctor pulls up his calendar on his phone and says, "Well, how about 10 tomorrow?" "No," the guy replies. "I don't need that many."

My favorite games are open world RPGs or the like, Fallout and Skyrim where you can go back and forth and customize your character are ideal.
Any game that lets me run around and do my own thing is the beezneez.
I don't like games that are punitively hard like Dark Souls.
I f@!+ing hate platformers.
I like basketball, but all other sports games are out.
I don't mind strictly first person shooters for awhile but eventually it starts to make me feel claustrophobic.

Also that one game for the NES that you recreated old Chinese wars and recruited various historical figures and generals to your party/army.
Yes! Also I believe they had a second one, unless I'm remembering it wrong.

Looks like there was a sequel, but it was never released in the US. Maybe you're thinking of some other game that was similar.

I thought I had an infected tooth because it was throbbing like crazy, but there was no sign of infection - no heat or swelling, etc.
I figured out it's a slightly high tooth. It gets smooshed when I clench my jaw or grind my teeth. I must be doing that a lot lately. For some reason. No idea why. Everything is fine. We're all fine here. How are you?

Oh, pandemic, civil unrest, massive stupidity by the previous homeowners causing horrific cost overruns on my construction project, unseasonable 75˚F temperatures in January...
...everything's fine here, too!

I didn't have to go out for a snow run this morning and I've had a pretty relaxing day playing video games and reading RPG books and just finished taking a bath, so I'm also fine.
How are you with plumbing? Are you smart enough to know that you can't just connect copper and cast iron pipes directly together? Because if you are, you're smarter than the previous guy to work on our bathroom, apparently...

Freehold, either your quest to rebuilt your History of Porn has taken a very unexpected turn, or I'm even more sexually boring than I had ever suspected.

Well, you can connect those two dissimilar metals together, but I wouldn't recommend making that connection too difficult to access later.
Something something mixing gold-plated and tin connectors for memory modules and motherboard connectors.

I don't know why it is, but I feel significantly more attached to the story of a game if I am allowed to customize my character. It shouldn't matter so much, but for some reason it does.

I am reminded of a guy I used to game with. He had diabetes. Had it for years. Testing sugar levels and injecting insulin every day. And always complaining that his doctor wouldn't stop harping on him for his high glucose levels. And yet, every other week (the game met twice a month), I would see him come to game and eat his "supper". Which consisted of a gallon, yes an actual gallon, of soda, and 6 to 7 assorted King-Size candy bars.

Do you think when he loses a foot he will take it more seriously?
