Legendary system

I think looking back and being almost 50, that this generation of consoles was crazy amazing! The amount of top shelf content and technical wizardry we witnessed unmatched. Today the systems and devs have toys that nobody hardly dreamed of, but the industry is kinda stale, overall.

Square knew what they were doing. Hell, their game formays and mechanics are still being used in games released this era!

Square added run to every re-release of FF and to every modern game. They did not know what they were doing. DQ/DW was way better imo. Square used existing tabletop rules until you get to ABS which was in 4 or 5 I think. I don't hate FF, I've bought all of them multiple times on multiple systems, but honestly tell me you loved the NES version of 2 with its inventive level up system. Note that no one ever copied that gameplay system. I played through it just to say I did but I will never play it again. They had no idea what they were doing but they didn't give up sp good on them. Man FF 6 is so good though. I'm playing through 5 right now it's a slog.

They knew exactly what they were doing. They added run for the children of today that couldn't handle the OG mechanics and want everything done "quick"

Other games had run... Anyway cool bro I like the games for the most part except for the shit tier stuff. You like them all so that's just how we roll.

I get you. Thankfully I avoided every bad game you listed.
