Civ has a lot of old fans since civ 1 or 2 that just buy and play any new civ game that comes out. I had: Civ 1 Civ 2 + Addons Call to Power (which was no official civ) Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Civ 4 + Addons Freeciv Civ 5 + Addons Civ: Beyond Earth Civ 6 + Addons Unciv

I don't know how the original Megami Tensei games were, but I'm really enjoying the Kyūyaku Megami Tensei remake on the SNES.

Edit: Wait, does the MSX game count as the original, or the FC games?

Not true for Final Fantasy. They made a prequel/sidequel of FF1 called Strangers of Paradise, and it was actually really good.

Stranger of Paradise is good? It is mocked by the FF community and even within it's own game. That is a FF staple though.

I would say the job leveling tree was what was intended in Tactics or FFXIV, but the rest is really not that great. The battle system is no different than FF7 Remake. The story is not really engaging. It's was fun for a few weeks. If it's at a discount. Sure.

Just finished persona 5 and persona 3 reload , I heard there will be a p2 remake so I'll wait for that (Still haven't played p4 tho).

I played The Witcher 1 over ten years ago.

Great story and even better ideas about consequences, but even then it was a rough gameplay experience.

It makes more sense when you realise it was originally going to be a PC port of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, but it leads to this awkward mix of gameplay styles that are hard to grasp at first. There's really not much to the combat other than clicking when the icon glows and moving.

The hardest fight in the game is a dog very early on, which you can cheese by stunning it with Aard (RNG based iirc) and landing a one hit finisher, but the fact that there's an unskippable lengthy cutscene right before it is absolutely obnoxious. And fighting something two levels above you is a death sentence, leading to a bit of exploring to get enough XP to be able to do everything.
