#also I can't believe I forgot to mention Ōkami earlier??

[seventh--fonon]

funny that I made a whole post about games and didn't even think about mentioning FFXIV. even though I play it like 10-15 hours per week and it is literally how I met one of my partners. but tbf it's kind of hard for me to ever call an MMO a 'favorite'. like you could probably make some kind of silly revealed preferences argument but at the end of the day for me a true favorite game probably needs to have like 2 or 3 of the following

irrevocably shaped who you are today (Xenosaga, P3, Tales, Ōkami, LoZ)

deeply compelling narrative/storytelling/world (Night in the Woods, The Last of Us, Disco Elysium, Shadow of the Colossus, FF9&10)

standout gameplay (Hyper Light Drifter, Journey, Gris, Celeste, Baba Is You)

whatever it is that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door has going on (the It's Just Plain Good factor)

weird (Everhood, various RPGMaker games)

#I /would/ like to spend less time on ffxiv and more time replaying some of these or playing new games though... #**the examples in each category don't necessarily fall only in that category to be clear #also I can't believe I forgot to mention Ōkami earlier?? #video game recommendations #tales of #persona #final fantasy #mathewposting
