Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.
So! What are you playing this week?
I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)
Also still haven’t beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first
If you ever get the urge to replay FF6, the best version (by far) is the fan hack called Brave New World. It removes countless glitches and bugs while also enhancing the level-up, combat, and magic systems, as well as provides a far deeper and more thoughtful quasi-class system (each character has branching ‘classes’ based on which equips/magicites you allow them, providing much better thought out synergies than the original).
As someone who has loved this game for 20+ years now, BNW is very easily the greatest version out there. Def give it a try if you want to see this game re-raised to its fullest potential!
Thanks! Would you recommend it for someone’s first playthrough, or only for subsequent replays?
I haven’t played BNW yet (though I really should), but I’d be hesitant to suggest something that makes so many fundamental changes for someone’s first playthrough. The one I tend to recommend is Woolsey Uncensored
It is worth noting that BNW is more difficult than the original, as enemies were rebalanced in order to match the new synergies available to the player. So, if you don’t mind a challenge, then it’s a great way to dive into this title!
