nox

NoX was a PVP balanced ARPG with a story wedged into it. The pvp maps were insanely fun and well balanced, and every class felt ridiculously OP for its own reasons. This guy hates on warriors for their lack of skills, but they are truly juggernauts in the game with LOTS of subtlety that is hard to master. I had so many hours of fun playing this game.

Change the lead to a black woman in a wheelchair, add in some skill and exp bonus microtransactions, and make sure it runs in single digit FPS because it's using only the most unoptimized UE5 engine and you've got yourself a DEAL!

Has there ever actually been a game whose protagonist was a black woman in a wheelchair? Or like a trans in general? Or a lesbian black woman?

I always hear one of those three brought up when people are talking about something being changed for modern audiences but I don't think any of those things ever actually happen. The stuff that DOES happen is subtle and insidious, like gradual grinding down of civilized society and the family unit, or "deconstruction" of male heroes. I wish it was that simple and comical rather than the insidious subversion that we actually get.

Anyway, don't answer this, it's rhetorical and it isn't the thread for it.

Skies of Arcadia.

This would be a good one. This and Grandia 2 are the two biggest RPGs I missed from the Dreamcast/PS2 era.

Also the Shadow Hearts trilogy and LOTR: The Third Age, but at least I managed to get those and play some of them. Still have them all ($10-20 a piece in 2009 lol, now they're far more) and would like to see the rest of them. Completely missed out on SOA though.

Beat-em-up game in 3+ installments and a changed story you say?

FF7's remake trilogy is simultaneously something I'm so glad exists and also something that thoroughly pisses me off.

It didn't need to be a beat 'em up. It didn't need to take story liberties. It didn't need to completely fucking bungle the ending of both games so far just to 1) give us bad-ass and kewl Marvel-type action setpieces and 2) give us a JJ Abrams mystery box scenario, respectively.

They couldn't even get Dyne's death right without completely sanitizing it, making it not a suicide, adding music to a previously-silent scene, and immediately following it, like fucking immediately, with a comical scene involving Palmer ambushing everyone in a mech, followed by a boss fight.

They should have given that scene the respect it deserved, depicted it as it was, and followed it with the characters having a quiet moment of contemplation for a bit before continuing their journey. They even could have used the moment to talk about the importance of reaching out to others when you're at your lowest. No, fuck all of that, just have him catch strays from Shinra troops and then have a comical mech battle!
