That's not a series going to weird places, that's a series not going to weird places, and you getting tired of it because of it.

Did you play FF13? Cause that game is a hot pile of weird nonsense. It's so dumb and Japanese in the worst ways possible. And the combat is super weird and passively it kinda hurts.

And them there is Persona 4, the superior JRPG, with better combat and systems, likable characters and Japanese in all the right ways.

No, but when you say it only got worse after 7, you are not talking about only 13. I said in my post 9 and 10 were top contenders for best FF, nothing about 13.

I like 9 and 10 in a way, but they started stronger than they ended. 9 had the whole monkey tail thing leading to the end of the world and 10 was some dream non sense and you not being real.

So yeah, they were fucking weird.

Also, where is my modern mega man game. They can't make a 3rd person action game out of that? Because it would be bad ass.

FF was always fucking weird. I would say FF7 is the weirdest of all PS FFs.

I loved the first pokemon games as a kid, that's why I can still play the first two generations today. I tried the third generation, didn't feel the excitement I got back then. Dunno what to do with the latest generations. Also never was into FF, I watched my buddy play FF10, just isn't my cup of game.

You mean the "quick, the hero is a bad ass, but we need an excuse to have a tutorial and a reason why he doesn't just beat up everyone from the start" excuse used in every game.

Such a story writing crutch for video games.

No I'm talking about Zack Fair / the whole orphanage business which was pretty dumb

(Ok I actually love Zack in Crisis Core I just didn't like his existence in FF7 because it subtracted my love for cloud)

Well, Zack being a good character doesn't really changes Cloud's multiple personality disorder, but I don't know anything about Crisis Core, so Zack does mean much to me. And there's also the Sephiroth mommy issues...

FFT had the best plot in the system. Or at least the one that wasn't fucking weird.

maybe nostalgia goggles, but I liked gen 1 not because the gameplay was objectively better, but because the pokemon themselves were far better from an artistic standpoint.
they looked badass, kinda like intelligent dinosaur pets that you could catch and forge in glorious battle

i mean this pretty much sums it up

I mean really bulbasuar is a dog with a parasitic plant living on its back. Squirtle is just a turtle. Charmander is a bipedal newt. Whats cool about any of that? Its not very hard to make any gens pokemon look bad, because its a video game and thus subjective tastes.

this strangely accurate for starters, but I wouldn't generalize it for all generations.

The hoenn region map was by far the best of any gen imo, it was so so good. Favourite game is still leaf green though, first game I ever played along with age of mythology

Then you should like gen 2 too since most of the mons in gen 2 were designed alongside gen 1 and could've easily made an appearance in gen 1

Also honestly, the design formula hasn't changed much(Although there is definitely changes from gen to gen so you can definitely have gen preferences) so i'd say yes it's notalgia goggles if you think it's because the new designs are dumb

Gen 5 gave us trash-pokémon(As in actual trash not bad design) while gen 1 gave us sludge-pokémon.
Gen 5 gave us a pokémon that was just gears while gen 1 gave us pokémon that were just magnets.
Etc. They really aren't that different.
