Wanting to try out some turn based games as well so I've been juggling the Persona and Final Fantasy series. Not quite sure which number of game to start with so happy for others to give some suggestions.

as a fan of both series I will say that older FF games (12 and back) are unequivocably better than Persona. both are anime as fuck but FF puts a lot more work into the world and characters while Persona 3-5 are mostly just magic high school anime with a little more juice than usual.

as for which games to play, I highly recommend FF 7-10 and 12. before 7, FF games are noticeably dated and experimental in their storytelling. they're good games but a bit weird by modern standards. the game play is lit though.

I'd say start with FFX, it might come off weird at first (the visual design is wild) but it has a great narrative structure, very vibrant characters, excellent combat, and a ton of content. it's also the only modern FF that has a true turn-based combat system (the others have simultaneous individual turn timers for both players and enemies). the FFX/X-2 HD collection is available on just about every platform, comes with all the bonus content from the international version, and a bunch of time-saving features you can enable or disable at will to suit your own preferences (2x/4x turbo mode, increase/disable enemy random encounters, temporary god mode, auto-battle). among FF fans like me that played all this shit back when it came out, FFX is most commonly the one people say is their favorite, and it was popularly hailed as one of the best JRPGs ever made in its time.

I fucking did. Best I can say is at least I played it loaned.

It's the textbook definition of a dadgame. If you enjoy playing post apocalypse fedex and enjoy setting up infrastructure, you'll have a great time with it. On the other hand of you expect to have any sort of satisfactory combat or expect a good narrative, look elsewhere.

Gameplay outside of traversal is pretty jank (and even traversing can be very jank) and the story is absolutely retarded and an excuse to get REAL actors in his game to jackoff to (it's also why everybpdy looks incredibly lame once they take off their masks when relevant). The atmosphere is pretty great though.

Disclaimer: this is all based on the original ps4 release. The steam one I believe changed some things.

It was basically Hideo Kojima's excuse to hang out with some of his favorite actors from movies or whatever. He wanted to be a director, but he failed in whatever film school he was going to in Japan. That's kind of what he did with MGS5 and that's part of the reason why Kiefer Sutherland was used to replace David Hayter. Kojima was a fan of the show 24. But when it came to Death Stranding Konami wasn't there to stop his BS. So he got to spend whatever he wanted on Death Stranding take as much time as he wanted and he shit out a total turd in the end. Without Koanmi or whoever was working at Konami to crack the whip Kojima doesn't make good games. Matter of fact he hasn't made a new game since Death Stranding and that was 5 years ago.
