It was pretty easy to trivialize the game even without Cid faceraping every fight.
Well yeah if you wanted to. There's some good challenges in there though. First time I played through as a kid, I was so under prepared for the 1v1 with wiegraf that there was literally no way to win and I had to start the game over.

Couldn't care less about another shitty FF game, but the new Chrono Trigger will be a day 1 purchase for me

I'd be happy with the Ogre Tactics remake that came out on the psp being ported to iOS and Android. Dunno why they haven't done that yet.

Allegedly Bethesda accidentally streamed some of its E3 show rehearsal and inadvertently announced Dishonored 2.

I should probably pick the first one during this sale to play at some point in the far future, heard it was pretty decent.
Its okay. I found the game systems to be pretty loosey goosey and the story to be somewhat mediocre, but especially at a deep discount sale price, its completely worth a play through.

It definitely didn't match the hype, but I enjoyed it. Not sure if I would've found it enjoyable if I played more action and less stealth though.

The biggest problem (imo) was that you got so many OP tools that the game wasn't very challenging/engaging after a certain point.

I bet you just used T.G. Cid in every battle didn't you.
I actually didn't. My friend beat FFT before I did and then let me play it. He warned me how rape all the named characters are and advised me to probably just not use them unless forced to do so. So my playthrough I didn't use the named people but it was still quite trivial. Ramza eventually can just solo maps once you get Blade Grasp and Shout enough times.

Both of you guys are retarded. FFTA and FFTA2, regardless of comparisons to the first FFT, are fantastic games. I spent at least 50 hours on the first game and over 200 hours on the second.

Well some people just have shit taste. Can't argue with that.

The challenge comes from the achievements, like doing a never detected play through, doing a no-killing play through, or doing a play through where you only use Blink.

That sounds so ridiculously difficult.

The game also has the BioShock problem where it's hella easy to get the "bad" ending because you killed a couple dudes. I beat a couple missions using stealth tactics but the world was already fucked from killing some dudes on previous missions. That's when I just said fuck it and started blink-slashing everybody.

Dishonored was basically Thief for the new generation, you had to challenge yourself a bit and if things went wrong, you could always just murder your way through. It had really cool world that they only alluded to. If you ever pick it up, make sure to get the Brigmore Witches DLC, it expands on the original game a bit and has some interesting opponents/environment.

If you kill people but hide the bodies, you generate significantly less Chaos, so it's easier to get the good ending. Or just, you know, don't kill people. (Running is always an option.)
