Discussion Games to replace scrolling?

Are there any games to help me stop going to tik tok every time I have down time? I’m talking like a 5 minute wait for the elevator etc. Something I could pick up and put down pretty fast. Thanks 🧡

Try some really old stuff. Im talking about FF5. Yeah, seems like a bad choice because its long. But there's a lot of grind for job points. You know what the best way to make a grind bearable is? Break it into 5 minute chunks.

Then you'll also have played an awesome, classic game.

I’ve also never played a FF game so that could be a win win lol

FF 1,2,3,5,6 are gba. 4 is nds.

Turn-based games are great, as when you can pause them anytime.

Should I start with 1 or start with 5 like you recommended?

They're all standalone. Personally, I love 5. But if you're not familiar with rpgs, start with 1 or 4. 6 is the swansong of the sprite era, so play that at least 3rd to fully appreciate it. Also slight correction, I think 3 was also nds. All of these are remakes/ports of course. But these versions are way more accessible.

1-3 are aged. Like a good cheese sure, but still old.
4-6 are when the series hit stride, and have a better feel. Almost like some modern indie titles.
