    I'll defend this one forever, no shame, no apologies

    Vous voyez la même chose que moi non, l'attachement au jeu dépasse largement ce que Skyrim arrive à créer chez la plupart des joueurs

    the lock on system fights the camera constantly and the platforming sections have not aged gracefully at all, I get why people love the worlds but mechanically it asks a lot of patience for what it delivers

    pareil, jamais lâché depuis

    QuestLegend2

    fair point on the pacing, the back half really does carry it

    I only get through a couple hours every few weeks these days and I still think about the worlds between sessions, it is not a huge time investment for me but it earns its spot every time I come back

    BossRex

    does the combat actually hold up on its own though (genuinely asking, not being snarky) or is it the worlds carrying it

    This game shaped so much of how I see JRPGs even now, the worlds felt genuinely magical to explore back then! I still remember picking my starting weapon and feeling like it actually mattered, that choice screen alone gave me chills. People sleep on it because of the crossover premise but the combat and the emotional beats hit way harder than they expect.

    con lo del combate que hablas, a mi me gustaba jugarlo con mi hermano mirando (aunque él se aburría rápido), pero eso no cambia que en los duelos siempre pierde contra los mismos rivales

    Ce choix d'arme, exactement !

    I keep wondering if the crossover concept holds up as well as people say, or if the nostalgia is doing a lot of the work here, the combat feels stiff to me now, stiff in a way I did not notice back then

    La nostalgia pesa, sí, pero frente a Skyrim la ambientación de este sigue ganando para mí
