Yes. That's happened to almost everything I've enjoyed except for some /a/ content, mostly because weebs are very unpleasant to new people for that exact reason. Simply liking something is not enough but if that happens enough the culture around the hobby changes. See neo-/v/ or even /co/, christ.

No, because I'm not an edgy contrarian.

I've never really been able to see why people make such a huge fuss over certain JRPG's and hate on others so harshly. To me most of them don't even seem that different, honestly.
Like take FF6 against FF9. People regularly praise FF6, but hate on FF9... but they both seem pretty equal to me. The gameplay is very similar all considering, the characters are about the same level of depth and writing quality, the story as well, etc.
Very, very few JRPG's tend to stand out to me in any substantial way. I honestly can't see a single thing about one that makes it so "amazing" while others are so "terrible".
About the only except to this is FF7 ironically, which I still think is fine but I really see NOTHING special about it even compared to others, and found it kind of boring. Heard it was incomplete, too, but wouldn't know much about that.
I might just have shit taste, but I just don't really get why people get so passionate over these things. They're all pretty much the same, really, when you get right down to it.
...or am I just missing something monumental?

Eh it's like saying you don't get why some platformers get praised while others are hated. Yes the concepts of the games are similar but they haves differences.
If you don't get that with jrpg's then they're probably just not for you and that's ok. There are plenty more games/genres luckily
>>
>>4163169
I guess, but like... I'm genuinely interested in hearing what about them makes people THAT passionate.
What about things like FF2, FF9, FF13, BoF5, Chrono Cross, etc is SO terrible? When I've played them they were pretty enjoyable and were easily on par with praised games like FF6, FF7, Chrono Trigger, BoF3, etc.

finding out that the countryside in Daggerfall was supposed to look like this and that the cities were supposed to have balconies through which you could break into the buildings.
the final game just feels rather flat in comparison.

I use pic related for emulation, and games on ps1 that don't use the joystick. The dpads on these are, in my opinion, fantastic. Also, feel free to post your comfiest controllers for 2d emulation.

what if...
-the saturn was released on the original launch day
-a sonic game had been in development specifically for the saturn since 1994
-the n64 shipped with a disc drive instead of a cartridge port
-the playstation was a nintendo addon
how would things have turned out? feel free to post your own alternate timelines

Nah. Everything would have turned out exactly the same except that Nintendo would be a part of the Sony corporation.

>>4162804
would nintendo really have lost all that much money from a SNES playstation? it's not exactly like addons are or were ever particularly popular so I can't imagine it actually killing nintendo. sega fell into that trap, but they failed to climb out more so due to overall incompetence than anything

Nintendo never went into the vidya business and still ran taxis and hotels and shit.

That is an exceedingly strange funeral request but if you really did lose your dad recently I feel for you. The 2600 definitely brings back the childish memories of my dad when I just assumed he'd live forever.

A friend of mine had this and another mech game that played DAMN similar to it. Like almost exactly like it. I don't even think they were made by the same company and I'll be damned if I can remember what the game was called.
>>
Just read an interview with the lead devs. The highlights:
>Both inspired by VOTOMS, Gundam and Blaster Master
>only played Assault Suits Vulkan (Cybernator) a few times
>Key influence from ASV was actually how to do the controls
>Uses a modified ZAMN engine
>Never heard of Front Mission or Front Mission:Gun Hazard
>was gonna be a Nintendo Published game
>1995 hit and everyone stopped caring about cartridge games
>sold it for very little to Konami
>50,000 copies
>Got the name "Battle Droids" but Konami wanted to call it Metal Warriors

>>4162690
It was probably Cybernator. The original was called Assault Suits Valken.

They're actually very rare and very expensive as collector's items.
>>4162585
It's actually its own proper thing with a 68000 processor and some fancy video effects. Sound capabilities is roughly equivalent to a card-based TG16 game. Games looked like 2D Jaguar ones in terms of colors and such. Launched very late (1995) and cost an obscene amount of money though I never found an exact price.
