    I tried to play ff9 and it was rough. It’s good as a story vehicle but I’m spoiled on modern game mechanics. Additionally I wouldn’t mind an uprez.

    That said, ff6 would benefit from it far far more.

      Admittedly it’s been a minute and I might have rose-coloured glasses on FF9. It is a PS1 title and those have historically… not aged all too gracefully, let’s say.

          Yeah that was kind of my vibe. I mean, I don’t think anyone disagrees that 7 has aged the worst. It’s a great game, but visually speaking I think it looks terrible. 8 is better than 7 but still has problems like the pixelated faces. I still think 8 could be well positioned for a proper remake instead of that horrible “remaster” they did. Mechanically it’s kind of an awkward game but gunblades feel like they would be cool inside of the modern action combat framework of the remakes.

            8 is definitely not a good first JRPG to start with, but I think it’s an interesting reversal of the regular mechanics/grind that you expect from the genre.

              It’s definitely interesting but I think for a lot of people it just didn’t feel good to play.

              Triple Triad is goated though.
