    I 120% agree with this. Unless Rebirth somehow ends up being a complete flop, I wouldn't bother.

    Maybe miscommunication as I was kinda going for judging both games on its seperate premise and not gonna directly compare them as very well aware the Rebirth will very likely blow the shit out of 16. I’m an FF nut so will do both. Was more saying Rebirth a higher priority.

    Completed Games 2023

    I got Final Fantasy III on the PS4, never played the original as it’s pretty hard to find.

    I did all of Cuphead and the Last Course on regular and Expert except Chef on Expert. Really fun yet frustrating game but yeah had to uninstall so would have to go get and go through the whole game and bosses again just to get back to Chef on Expert but nah won’t be doing that lol. Took me long enough.

    Getting PS5 when FFVII Rebirth. Hopefully can get a discount as friend just started a new job in GAME (UK video game shop). The trailers look fucking good btw. FF16 might do after that.

    The concept is pretty simple. Keep a list of games you've completed this year, and if you feel so inclined, give your thoughts on it.

    1. Pokemon Violet (Switch)
    2. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

    I still technically need to make trades t complete my Pokedex, but I finished all of the story and the post-game stuff for Pokemon Violet. I honestly don't have the patience or the motivation to do EV training, so I probably won't participate in the raids. That said, I had a blast with this game. I kept finding every chance to play, even if it was just for 10 minutes. The game kind of had hills and valleys, where I was enamored for like the first 10-20 hours, then I saw through the matrix after getting all Miraidon upgrades, then I fell in love with exploring again.

    Overall, I think this game has the same problem Final Fantasy XV does: the open world is a great concept with less cool stuff filling it out. For XV, it was the lack of actual towns. Here, I wish there were more sidequests and random locations that gave more incentive for exploring. I was also annoyed that the Team Star boss monsters were essentially the same after being so impressed with the first one. I think you should be able to ride Pokemon other than the legendary. I also wish the wild Pokemon actually like...did stuff. That said, it was still so joyous to be flying around and seeing some Pokemon I had never seen in the distance and rushing to go grab it. Or getting excited whenever I come across one of my classic faves and feeling the deep need to catch it. A lot to improve upon, but I think they have a winning formula here.



    As for A Link to the Past, this was actually my first time completing it. Or really playing it at all when it comes down to it. I played it in retrospect during the PS1 era, and I never stick with it past the first dungeon. But even all these years later, it holds up and was impressive. Love the aesthetic of everything, and it's truly a graphical accomplishment on many fronts. The dungeons were really creative with some tough(at times frustrating) bosses, though a decent deal of them were manageable with some fairies in bottles. I also love how natural it felt discovering things and solving problems on the overworld, with the fortune teller hints helping fill the gaps when I was otherwise a bit lost. I definitely see why people love this game, and it's definitely one of my favorite Zelda experiences.

    We talked about it in the Rajah Video game list thread but yeah great game. The worm is a pain when you get knocked down and also didn’t like Mothula plus the Ice Palace,Turtle Rock and Gabon’s Tower dungeons were particularl hard yet found those end bosses I found quite simple.

    I am currently almost done with Cuphead/DLC on expert mode (one boss left to get it’s the chef) and then will be moving onto Persona 3 which is finally available for PS4.

    FFVII Rebirth (if it’s out by winter) will of course get a PS5 and do then.
