Hate to break it to you, but that ship sailed a long, long time ago.

Disgaea was pretty nice. I’ve played through that, Makai Kingdom, Phantom Brave, and Disgaea 2. All fine choices! I also have this game called Stella Deus. Seemed alright, but I never got through it. Something big came out that drew my attention away.

I still stand by FFT as being the best.

On the other hoof, I also not only beat Tactics Advance, I also did all of the side missions. Just so nopony would ever be able to argue with me about it. That game was awful. There was no excuse for it.

Edit: Holy moly! I forgot about Front Mission 3! Fantastic game!

Oh, I’m sure there have been far, fa~r worse games than that. But I never played them.

I just finished Pony Revolution for the third and final time last night. Was a fun ride while it lasted!

I’d call it a bad game. I’d call it an awful game!

There are all these ponies that argue that Invisible War was a bad game compared to the original because it was streamlined. And it was streamlined, but it wasn’t a bad game. The core purpose, accomplishing a goal using the play-style of your choice, was still very much intact.

Advance was a bad game because it was streamlined. The whole point of a customizable tactics game isn’t just to accomplish a goal, it’s to do so using your own methods. But Advance severally limited those methods behind race restrictions for no good reason! They rendered key abilities completely useless and disabled incredibly fun character combinations! Nevermind the obnoxiousness of having to have the right equipment to learn the abilities you want.

I’m not going to say the story was awful. It was, but I’m not saying that. I’m not even going to say the judgement system was idiotic, because it could be manipulated to your benefit anyway (making it not only poorly implemented, but also poorly executed). And nevermind that it was mind-numbingly easy.

I’m saying that even if you don’t compare it to the original, the gameplay was overly restricted for no good reason, almost as though the developers wanted to limit your ability to enjoy it.

If it’s that hard to think of a question, try asking me something that you’d ordinarily ask somepony else. Maybe I have an opinion on the matter!

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Hooves down, worst game I’ve ever played. But I generally have a pretty good idea if a game is decent or not and avoid ones that aren’t.

Probably not. Feel free to check with one of the other Lyras, though!

There’d be nothing I could do with it.

I don’t know anything about that kind of magic, and it’s very much illegal and very carefully monitored by…

…

Well, by seers. I don’t guess there’s any harm in revealing that.

Tootsie had a little more trouble, but they both seemed well enough off.

Plus we had some candy left over to add to theirs. You know, give them a little more and even them up.

But they only get to have so much a day.

As interesting as this argument with Twilight is, I’m gonna go to bed.

Plus, it’s kinda hard for me to argue the topic. I never finished The Lord of the Rings and really wasn’t that into it when I was reading it.

You just spelled my name. It’s not the same.

But don’t feel like you have to change for my sake.

Seems every time you say my name your slur gets worse or something.

The key to appropriate grammar isn’t being proper, it’s being consistent.

So inconsistent…

Thought you might want to know that there’s a race war going on in Manhatten. It seems that the Lyras have made their own faction among the unicorns.

No offense, but that looks kinda boring.

You don’t get a clever insult, you get a “[omitted] you” and not another second of my day wasted on the matter.
