what platforms you got

my brobro owes me many videogames and I'm making him a list

switch/ps4

what kind of games do you like

plus various vintage systems

what kind of games do you like? I'm obsessed with xcom 2 personally. my friends got it for me a year ago bc it's her fav game and I'm still playing it bc I got myself all the dlc.

I'm loving breath of the wild, even though I'm terrible at it

I mostly play JRPGs, I avoid online multiplayer

the ff8 hd remake was pretty good too

I also liked strategy games once upon a time

Fire Emblem Three Houses is probably up your alley

i've been having a lot of fun with ff type-0 lately

yeah i was gonna say fire emblem

also ffxii is on both systems you own, generally cheaper for ps4

fe:3h is good, but if you're one for sneaking around and murdering, i think the world of dishonored would be one you'd find interesting?

it's like a team-based action jrpg with some rts missions

not a jrpg but you should play control, i think you would really vibe with it! as for jrpgs, maybe odin sphere and nier automata on ps4? and disco elysium (which is on pc)

and when i say team-based i mean you have 14 characters with three active at a time (two ai-controlled because action), and you just cycle through them as they die

i'm very bad at turn based strategy games/rpgs, so i won't have any recs along those lines, sadly

nier automata is one of the best games I've ever played

have you played any of the disgaea games? I haven't tried the newer ones but the first few were great and I'm sure the new ones are similar

oh yeah nier is fucking awesome (says the person who needs to finish it)

Horizon Zero Dawn has some, hm. Issues re: world building, but it's absolutely a game that made me cry more than once

also untitled goose game just came out for ps4 and i am fucking excited to grab it, but it might be better on switch

also i just bought overcooked on the switch and we can all be bad at it together if you have the hankering

gris is amazing

DON'T play DA:I, i love it but also: you've seen what it's done

i cannot, in good faith, recommend it

I think Divinity Original Sin 2 is on PS4?

fifthing? fe:3h... i’m obviously biased but it’s fun!!! and you get four fairly solid routes to play through... yeehaw

ps4 spider-man is very good

I am also very biased, but fe:3h is very good. But if you just want a straight-up turn based jrpg that’s quirky, fun, and colorful, I’ve been replaying dragon quest xi and it’s made me laugh a lot

I've had a lot of fun with tales of vesperia although I haven't finished it yet

ffxii on the switch is the definitive version of the game imo, if you’ve not experienced it already

I would also recommend that

both ni no kuni games are on ps4 now, i haven't played either yet but i've heard very good things

aurajen: does it have any differences from the other tza releases?

You can reset your license boards and swap classes! Gambits also have sets so you can just swap between those as well

oh damn

I think you can do that on the Xbox version of the game too but I like the switch bc it’s portable

Yeah it’s a very nice change for my lazy ass lol

aurajen ive seen your trophies and lazy ass is just hilarious to me

one day i need to stop being a lazy ass and do more of the endgame sidequests in xii

Lmao look......don’t at me....

i pushed through to see the end of the story instead of letting myself get caught up in them because i have too many ffs i've left unfinished because i burnt out on that endgame sidequest grind

i didn't even fight gilgamesh yet, a crime

when other ppl suggest nier before you do so you don’t look like That Person also suggesting it

(play automata)

agree on nier automata. also recommend Transistor and Pyre.

omg yeah just play every Supergiant game

BASTION IS ALSO SO GOOD

Jeff Ramos on Twitter

ugh, plurk -- anyway watch the video and then play untitled goose game

the answer is always stardew

Octopath Traveler

Type 0 was...something but you gotta play it twice (it has NG+) for maximal understanding. I like my murder children but wow

I liked persona 5 a lot but i would advise waiting for the fancy version in March

You know my feelings on Ivalice so 12 remake....oh! the Last Remnant remaster, I like that game

I already have the Zodiac Age on PS4 so like… hard to justify buying the game a third time.

I have that already too

As well as both the original Tales of Vesperia and the remake and HZD

And I think I have some of the Dragon Ages too but idk which ones

I am also already bad at Overcooked

And have Persona 5…

it's definitely got an aesthetic

p5 is a very fun game, ye

red dead redemption 2: horse adventures

subnautica is actually great

there's one big bug that i don't think will ever be fixed but the rest of the game has been delightful so far

did I say vesperia

I meant the b one

berseria?

that sounds like it could be a Tales

oh yeah someone mentioned it above, it is berseria

omg yes play persona 5

yes do it

HEAR MY SONG ALEX

my two favorite final fantasy things are class systems and ivalice I definitely already have ffxii

oh also gratuitous english, you spoony bards

Update: my brother got me Octopath Traveler and BotW

also a $100 gift certificate for more games

(if this seems generous it's because he has missed the last two years of birthdays/christmas)

nice!!
