What are you playing this weekend/these days?


I like RPGs but I also feel like they usually don't respect your time. Which I didn't mind when I had time to spend, but I also have to spend time on other stuff these days.
When I've vacation I pick-up games that take more time, but usually still no 200h RPG. But that doesn't mean I dislike them.
The FF series can sometimes really feel like a grind.
 
The main thing is RPGs have to be challenging enough so you have to be strategic and pay attention in battles. Otherwise yeh, grindy. I prefer FF2 over FF3 because it's a bit shorter. Actually I recommend FFV because it's the most challenging and has the cool job system. Originally Japan only because they think we suck..

Yeah, the first one was taking all the fun away.

You are absolutely right about the grind, and I’m not bitching about the normal grind to level up. Everything seemed like little thought was put into how it would play. Great improvements in pretty much all aspects of playability were made by the second one.

Fast Forward on emulation is the damn way to go with FF combat sessions :cool:
I have also been using it with some of the other games I’m playing, just to speed it up a little. With LA, for example, I complete one task or dungeon every time I pick it up. I used to warp around to speed up navigating, and now I don’t need to. It makes it feel like the game is there for me, not like I have to waste my time/life just to complete a section of it.
