I think I'm most interested in crisis core. I love ff7 and remember crisis core on the PSP. Good times. Good luck to everyone and thanks OP!

Entering for Crisis Core, thanks for doing this.

I've been watching Y: The Last Man and started out really digging it, but now that I'm nearing the end (Ep8) it's starting to drag a little. Some interesting things being set up though so hoping it sticks the landing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrate would spark my interest.

Octopath traveler looks fun

Also have a meme

How is Octopath Traveler? From what I gather it's a bunch of diverging stories, eight to be precise and they don't actually interact with each other?

I've not bought it yet due to the anxiety that triggers...

OP, kudos for doing this. Put me down for the FF Pixel Remaster Bundle.

I'm about to take my Steam deck on an international flight, so those would be perfect to pass the time!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Nice, I haven’t flown international in several years, but I brought along my 3DS back then. Steam Deck would be killer for that journey. Best of luck to you, that’d be awesome to play through the trip!

Thanks for the giveaway!

I've been playing two games a lot lately; Pacific Drive and The Planet Crafter. Both have been a blast so far. I love games that feel isolating.

I would choose Octopsth Traveler.

I’ve never played any of the final fantasy series. I hear so many wonderful things about them. Even heard of a couple who bonded over it. So any of the Final Fantasy. If I should try one before another… let me know. :)

And thank you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for entering! It’s tough to decide where to start with Final Fantasy. Thankfully you don’t have to play them in order, and they’re not connected. I’m first experience was 3 on SNES, and then FF VII on Ps1 back in the day.

It might make sense to start with one of the more popular ones. I’d love to tell you 7 Remake since it’s most modern mod to a classic (although I haven’t played remake). FF 9 I heard was amazing, and FF X is a gem. 8 I believe is underrated, I really enjoyed it back in the day.

Generally they all have great stories so I hear. It may be tough to play 1-3 in 2024 unless you grew up on old school JRPGs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Thank you for doing this in a world of selfishness, your kindness is a beacon of happiness. I wouldn’t mind winning, but your reply gave me the best reward I could get. I’ll take this info and go hunting for my first foray into Final Fantasy. Don’t delete this post. I’ll be back to tell you what I ended up with and how I felt about it.

Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'd be interested in the FF7 remake.

Nothing interesting to say really, just been a long week and glad to be able to finally relax.

I'm interested in Crisis Core!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Heck yeah, me too! I never had a PSP and never really heard of this game. But I loved FF7 having played it when I was little, and probably a replay of it when I was a young teen. I loved Final Fantasy Advent Children.

Crisis Core is definitely on my backlog to play. My plan is that in 2031 when Sony eventually releases the conclusion to the FF Remake on PC, I will play all four games back to back.

God I hope it's sooner than 2031!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Final fantasy bundle please :). (N.2)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

LOL I started at your comment a little too long trying to decipher what N.2 meant, and I was like, does this person mean "M.2" as in for an M.2 drive for PC? And then it hit me. I am not a smart person sometimes.

More seriously though, I too have been looking forward to FF 1-6. I played some of the more recent FF's (specifically 7, 8, 10, 13) and remember playing bits of III as a kid on SNES. I want to go back to the origin. Since I got my Steam Deck during the winter holiday last year, I can try to make time to play these games on the side, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’m interested in FF7 remake! Thanks for the contest!

Thanks for the giveaway! I'd love octopath traveller.

Something interesting this year... My workplace agreed to adopt an automatic inflation adjustment and transparent pay scale, and my wife is going back to university to get out of the restaurant business.

Good year so far, hopefully shit doesn't hit the fan following the US elections.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hey, congrats for your wife! I'm sure she's very much looking forward to that! Definitely do your best to help support her during that time. When my spouse went back to university a few years back, I made sure to give them space and try to do little things like bringing a drink, or a treat when they were studying, etc. It goes a long way, and I wish you both best of luck with that new path and hopefully she lands into a career she'll love.

2024 overall has been a decent year. As a US citizen who is progressive, living in a Red State, I have my own fears about things. I really hope that enough people will vote and we'll make sure to keep fascism at bay. Part of why I love things like giveaways, because I think it's a small treat and a really nice thing to do for others. I got a few game keys over my years at Reddit, and I'd love to see cool stuff like that here if Lemmy grows into a great alternative one day (it's good, but certainly not great. The engagement is quite low and the comments are not stimulating for niche communities).
