There’s no doubt about this. My favourites in the franchise usually differ from other people and fans that I know. It really does make it a pleasure being a fan of Final Fantasy as it holds such a diverse fandom that conversations often hold interesting takes, views and more.

I still have my 1.0 disc, given how useful it is now, it horrifies my friends when they find out I’m using it as a coaster. I stopped playing before I could get the rewards too, so seeing people with the tattoos always makes me sigh.

I’d recognise Limsa Lominsa anywhere. I’ve been playing since 1.0, with some breaks here and there. FFXIV is one of my favourite games ever, for story and gameplay.

I hope you enjoy it and have a great experience. Feel free to join us at !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world as well.

I was on the fence for ages over whether it was going to be worth it. Thought I was taking a risk when I ordered the OLED one at release on a whim. It wasn’t a risk, the machine is incredible. I love it.

at the very least remakes should include a copy of the original game playable on the same device, either as a port or via emulation.

I’d love to see developers and publishers start to do this. Though I am interested in Tomb Raider and how they handle the graphic toggling, which seems like a half-way point to what you’re describing.

I remember this well from my childhood, so it was nice to see that trailer. I love how they seem to have barely changed anything except higher res textures and models. I’ll be looking at getting this when its out.

I mean if someone is addicted to only playing one really specific MMO or MOBA and it’s not available on Linux

I don’t know about other MMOs but Final Fantasy XIV runs incredibly well on the Steam Deck under Steam OS. It’s my current addiction but for this, at the moment there is no reason for me to go through Windows, and I like it this way.

Hope you don’t mind but I’ve linked this thread from !squareenix@lemmy.world. Thanks for putting it together.

I think I’d rather deal with the inconvenience of hooking them up when I need, than the anxiety that I’m living with a fire hazard like this.

I don’t either but this is such a great discussion. I’ve come across quite a few interesting sounding games here. Thanks OP.

Ridge Racer - Namco have really done it dirty and would love to see it revived. Take it back to basics as a pure arcade racer without the Burnout nonsense.

Timesplitters - Just pleeeeaaase.

Alundra - It was a JRPG on PSX and nothing ever came after the second game. It had loads of potential.

SSX - I still love the stupidity of those early games. Would love to see a fun another snowboarding game that doesn’t take it self seriously.

There is a !horizon@lemmy.world community but unfortunately there just isn’t the interest to build an active community here (on Lemmy) for specific games at the moment. !games@lemmy.world seems to be a good place for it at the moment but feel free to cross-post.

It’s surprised me as well. There’s some scenes, areas and fights that aren’t in this demo that I imagine will just cause a deck to grind to a halt.

There’s going to be negative comments, and that can’t be changed. But I do agree that they’re often through rose tinted glasses.

I’d disagree. I think the changes they’ve made with Eddie look great. He looks sickly and tired, unhinged and empty as a result of the bullying, lifestyles he’s led and the personal hell he’s experiencing.

Do you have fond memories of the original game?

I first played it on the PSX, missing the PC version, it left a great impression on me and now long in to my adult years I play it more than any other game. Like once a year. It’s such a great story and the team behind it told it wonderfully.

The soundtrack is definitely one of my favourite parts of the game so to see them use original masters to bring improved music is a huge highlight. The death of Barrington Pheloung has been, in my opinion, one of the most tragic losses to video game music.

I don’t believe you’re wrong here in saying that. These don’t seem like unreasonable asks at all, and something I’d expect to be normal standards for the industry.

It’s was the lack of backwards compatibility that killed it for me. I’d had niggling considerations of PSVR1 for some time, then PSVR2 was announced and I was all ready to hand over my money. Until it became clear there was no backward compatibility. So I own neither.

Not exactly. PlayStation version uses the same payment methods as the PC version. So though you can’t pay through PS Store you don’t have all this extra layer of Coin crap to deal with that Xbox has apparently enforced on them.

This is the comparison I end up making. Is it more up front? Yes, but will I get more hours out of it? Yes. Can I pick it up again without any additional cost? Yes. Can I be a goblin and not leave the comfort of my own house? Yes.
