I understand why a lot of people were very upset about Starfox Adventures when it came out. It's more Legend of Zelda than it is Starfox, but that's exactly why I like it. I didn't enjoy the flying missions at all in this game, whereas everything else is fun and often unintentionally hilarious. Constantly telling Tricky to shut up when he whines about being hungry is part of the charm, in my opinion.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is a fantastic game, improving on a lot from the original Tactics while also carving out its own identity and creating its own fascinating world. Ivalice is so wonderful and the characters are colorful and memorable in this game. Marche remains one of my favorite protagonists and the story is a whimsical and often painful one touching on escapism. I love this game. I wish I could give it a higher rating than this.

Any improved mechanics and gameplay between Ultra Sun/Moon and the original Sun/Moon are basically pointless when it comes to the changes in the story. I'm still not done being mad about what they did to Lusamine. She was a fantastic villain, why would you take that away from her??

Everyone likes to hate on Final Fantasy II, and I really can't blame them. The battle system is really weird and rewards aggressively grinding, and ultimately it doesn't hold up very well at all. But for some reason, I really love this game and the story, and the grinding is fun for me. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't like aggressively grinding, though.

Zestiria is one of the weakest Tales games. The battle style isn't fun, the story is lackluster, and it feels like you need to stop and grind at certain points. It's disappointing, particularly because I love the Tales series and I really wanted to like this game. It's perhaps even more disappointing because Dezel is my favorite character in Zestiria. I'm still not done being mad about THAT.
