        I’m just about done with 7 again. Hadn’t played it since the 90"s. Still pretty good.

        Spoiler

        I’m now fluffing my team up like mad so I can defeat Emerald amd Ruby. After that it’s just an easy endgame fight with sephiroth, so I’m really close to almost done.

                I’ve been playing on my steam deck with several 7th heaven mods and it’s been great. Made the game look a lot nicer than the original. Been a great batch of nostalgia for me. I had no spoilers for myself when I first played it. What happened towards the end of disc one was probably the biggest gut punch in a game I’ve ever experienced.

                  My previous play was 7th heaven. This one is reunion. I prefer the 7th heaven mods.

                  End of disk 1 is a huge blow. The worst part was that it seems like you were fine at first.

    stop trying to find someone who likes what you like and hates what you hate. try to find someone who you enjoy anyway and treats you well.

      Sometimes it’s better to have different tastes. My ex and I liked the opposite flavors of gummy bears. It was so convenient. lol

      I say this as someone who never stopped looking until I found a gaming buddy in a partner. When every night is a date, lan party, and sleepover all at once… I certainly can’t tell you what’s important to you, just never settle.

      It’s also nice to have shared interests. But I have friends to chat with about the latest Final Fantasy game.

      I feel like gaming is something you both want to have in common if either of you really enjoy it. Otherwise it seems like it usually turns into a problem.

      My brother and I split the SNES when it came out (presumably with money our parents gave us because we were just kids), but he got gifted Super Mario RPG. And he held that shit over my head, and we didn’t get a long, and he never let me play, and so it kinda solidified itself as my favorite game of all time, because it had this forbidden nature for me.

      Putting all that aside, it was just a well made game, great pacing, great mechanics. I got the Switch version and I’m hoping to get my kids into it, but it’s hard to compete with the looks of modern games, especially since my kids are young.

      My copy did something weird and wouldn’t let me get one particular hidden chest after the first playthrough. Heartbreaking.

          Yeah, that one’s tricky, but there’s also a later one that requires you to jump to reveal a hidden platform but the platform wouldn’t reveal itself when I jumped into it, even though I got it the first run and could see Mario bump into it in air so I knew I had the right spot.

          I can only assume there was some weirdly specific glitch or damage 🤷‍♂️

      I love this game so much, can beat it on a single life. Really looking forward to the new Rita’s Rewind game.

        Iku Mizutani was a master for sure. Dude did incredible things with NES and SNES music.

    Mega man X soundtrack lives rent free in my head, along with the first scene that crushed me as a child.

      Lufia? I rented it from the video rental store back in the day. I never finished it, but I enjoyed the game.

        Look into Lufia 2, it is one of the rare cases of a sequel being shockingly better than the first game. It is the only SNES RPG I put in the same class as those from Square or Enix, and I like it more than most of those.

          , it is one of the rare cases of a sequel being shockingly better than the first game.

          I feel like this happens (or at least used to happen) regularly in video games.

            Yeah, I suppose that was true in the 80s and 90s for sure. Now that I think about it, I can name a several right off the top of my head and probably every Final Fantasy game was like that until 7 or at least 8.

        So, Lufia is a LONG game. It’s got fairly limited graphics and sound for a SNES game but it packs in a lengthy quest. It feels almost wrong to offer that one as a rental.
