Plus the secret ending at the end of the mobile port, plus the characters showing up in KH amounting to nothing. And I don't think it's even really about wanting a sequel per se, most TWEWY fans are totally satisfied with the game how it is. It's just that there's nothing else even remotely like it at all. The guy who directed it hasn't even gotten to direct a game since, aside from some of the worst trash that mobile gaming has to offer.

That's bullshit, it didn't even get released in Japan until 15-16. The west wasn't found of the characters change even though the game itself was vastly superior.

I will NEVER EVER stop being bitter about how 358/2 Days never got a proper remake a la Re:CoM taking full advantage of the hardware to be on par with the other games and make up for the shortcomings forced on it by being on DS. It could have had more and more varied missions featuring more of the Organization, visiting worlds outside of the missions, far more enemies on screen for much more intense fights for using all the cool abilities as well as doing the Deep Dive sequence real justice, more panels to customize abilities, online multiplayer and a fucking real but eventually unwinnable fight against Ansem Riku as dual wielding Roxas with the hood down.
God damn after all this time I'm ok with waiting, if it delayed the collections and KH3 it would have been worth it.

I haven't played that, but Re:CoM was at least as good as the original, being better in many ways like the new abilities, bosses (even if it did overshadow the hell out of the old final boss) and giving Riku something more to do that's also unique to him. But there's a bunch of little unnecessary changes like less unique stats on keyblade cards and the way they implemented CoM's gameplay into the engine felt a bit clumsy sometimes since they weren't designed together. But they're both still great games.
>>383450216
There weren't that many extra plot points in 2, the side games just served to build the overall world and add some more plot to set up for the eventual sequel. I've never fully understood this feeling outside of not having the right handheld, if you like the games already then more is better and 3 would have obviously came later.

>>383451242
>There weren't that many extra plot points in 2, the side games just served to build the overall world and add some more plot to set up for the eventual sequel.
If it weren't for the extra stuff added in 2FM meant to set up for BBS, this would be true. In fact, if it weren't for that, KH1, CoM, and KH2 would be a perfectly rounded-off trilogy.

Megaman Classic has an end, since it becomes X.
X series has an end because it has Zero/Command Mission depending on what timeline you like.
ZX ended with a cliffhanger but honestly I don't know how many people cared about that story.

BN ended pretty well, and even though it ended kind of early SF at least got a nice wrap up of a lot of plot threads and a really great post-game area.

Legends needs to end. It needs a conclusion.

Please. Let Megaman rest in everlasting peace.

You have to understand Japanese culture and lifestyles to understand. If it makes you feel better, they often find the West's focus on old men just as baffling, doubly so when you consider the purity focus you often see in JP media vs through glorification of "sluts" in the west.

It's been a while so I forget exact times but the point is it took way too long to happen in all kinds of ways and didn't (perhaps couldn't) make up for that, or even feel like it tried to, except for in really superficial nostalgia pandering ways. I admit i liked the tutorial being an obstacle course based on the legend of the original heroes' journey, but they didn't also need the collectable book cutscenes and constant heavy callbacks that wallowed in the past rather than use it as a stepping stone, like say having Eoleo actually play a real role or the other foreshadowed descendant (I forgot the names) that wasn't there whatsoever.

>sequel has them throw this out and they are constantly bickering, fighting, and lose all the character growth they had in the previous game
Extra shit points if they overcome the exact same problems they did before.

Yeah, definitely a case of growing up. Golden Sun is literally only praised by people who played it as a kid as their first or one of their first JRPGs.

It's absolutely dogshit and was always dogshit

Sonic Chronicles. I remember actually being hyped for that game, since the Mario RPGs turned out so well and it seemed like Sonic was getting the same treatment.

Careful not to trip on all those meaningful well-reasoned arguments you made. I also played it and replayed it and it's sequel over multiple years, and it still held up every time so yeah nah.

You enjoying a terrible nostalgia trip doesn't justify a bad game.

The dialogue and conversations are slow, awful shit. Not only did you have massively overlong, overly explained nonsense, but it's all interspersed with "anime" gestures, sweatdrops and such which pause the dialogue and drag things out even more. I remember it's almost 30 minutes of inconsequential dialogue before the game even begins.

I finally gave up on it after the characters took time out from escaping a collapsing cave to argue about who pushed who.

>Oh no!
>Anime Gesture
>Anime Gesture
>The cave!
>Anime Gesture
>The cave is collapsing!
>Entire group of anime gestures
>We have to get out of here!
>It's coming down, we need to escape!
>Characters move three steps
>Hey!
>Anime gesture
>"Whatever the fuck his name was" What are you doing!?
>Anime gesture
>What are you talking about
>You pushed her!
>"Other persons name"
>Whole fucking series of anime gestures
>You're such a jerk, apologise to her!
>Grrr!
>Guys! The cave!

And so on, and so on and so on. Something like 10 minutes of absolutely inconsequential dialogue, while the cave is caving in on them.

The whole game is riddled with shit like that and the cliché "villains", overused plot and standard issue mechanics do nothing to save it.

Shitty series that gets more praise than it has ever deserved.

You don't even have to take my word for it, there's a whole breakdown on how godawful the game is https://lparchive.org/Golden-Sun/

If that's the case stop, you don't deserve to watch FLCL.

Fans usually want it for more of the same gameplay. Make a new plot of need be. I doubt Prime 4 will have anything to do with Phazon(which has been all of prime plot so far).

All you really had to say was that you took the game more seriously than it clearly intended and then copied someone else's opinion. The game is framed as a more lighthearted adventure, and the dialogue between the characters serves to endear them to you by having their relationships be present often as well as show that they're still just people on this trip with many other qualities and thoughts to them beyond just "We're saving the world and having character arcs". It leads to a unique level of immersion, character and world building for an RPG as they have their own views on the world and the adventure yet still play off each other like an actual travelling group of companions.
If it didn't work for you it didn't work for you, but that's what the intention fairly obviously was, and I think it executed it in a very engaging way if you don't focus so specifically on needing a big deep videogame like you clearly are. It doesn't make it dogshit any more than it makes you dogshit for it just not being to your taste. Calling it just nostalgia makes you sound bitter and narrowminded.
And this is saying nothing of the villains that while apparently to you are still handled well enough to be a threat without being one dimensional, even in the first game. Ditto the plot, it builds up the scale and stakes steadily and effectively with each climax point and gives invests you enough that the switchover is much more engaging. The fact you call the djinn, summon and class systems standard issue is hilarious and doesn't even require acknowledgement, to say nothing of the field puzzles and how gameplay and setting are woven together.
There's some pretty clear reasons why people played the games, regardless of when they did, them not hooking you only means that they didn't hook you.

Because it's a GBA game they would have little speech bubbles with faces appear over the characters during some dialogue and events to convey emotion in a cutesy way. This really upset people because they were used a bunch of times to go along with the visual tone of the game and lasted maybe a quarter of a second each. Watch some clips and you'll see them.

Reminder that FFX-2 actually WAS faithful to what the characters originally were, had one of the best ATB systems in the series, and the ability to change jobs mid-battle was great.

It's just that the charlie's angles shit, the dressup shit, and Rikku/Brother shit just didn't fly. Nobody really appreciated 3 playable characters either, even if the class system made having more pointless.

Maybe if you self inserted as Raiden as the narrative aimed for, with how his resolution at the end is letting Snake deal with the rest and take his own path and live his own life without needing to be attached to his memed identity. But that would require a detachment from the story itself, which still has unresolved conflicts, mysteries and avenues to go down, which anyone playing the game would be interested in seeing, whether they're successfully looking through the eyes of Raiden or not. It also assumes that the life we'd choose wouldn't be to follow Snake once more, which actually is reflected in MGS4 Raiden's appearance since Kojima realized all this after the fact. I haven't slept and this all came upon me when seeing the game mentioned but I think I'm making some form of sense.

FNAF 6 got cancelled so he'll probably either take a break from game development or make a Desolate Hope 2. Also didn't that Pilgrim's Progress game he make have a similar gameplay style? Not many people seem to know of that game's existance.

Guy that beat you to it here, Dark Dawn was a lot of things, but cheap it was not. That coat of paint was some of the best visuals on the DS, with some really beautifully designed dungeons featuring puzzles that while simple still felt fun to solve and had a lot of scale and changing effects on the environment, and the music was fantastic as always. While the world did feel a bit too different to be off at times (looking at you animal town, Sveta is ok though, but way too op) they still put full effort in trying to bring it to life in similar ways. The times it remembers it's a Golden Sun sequel it definitely hits the mark there. There's also so many other little details like how the characters have different Psynergy casting animations and effects not just for what weapon type, but for some classes as well, like the Ninja and Samurai. There's plenty of effort to be found, it's just too often in the wrong places, like again those book cutscenes.
Going from Psynergy , it doesn't make much sense to criticize the game for sticking to clearly established conventions like the Psynergy names, especially with it being so integral to the plot and world as it is. It's not like they didn't add new items and spells on top of those either, even if they could always add more with that sort of thing.
Also don't lie, literally everyone wanted to see more after that tease of how they had absorbed so much raw Alchemy power and what that could mean. We all definitely wanted to see what Alex's next move would undoubtedly be, even with it not really being strictly necessary as his plot would come to a close even with him surviving. It's what makes the unrealized potential and not-quite-Golden-Sun-until-it-really-fuckin-is world sting so much, on top of that ending.

They just want more shit like that.

Except not every continuation of a series has to be a direct sequel. Prequels and new stories told in the same universe are two easy remedies to this issue. Bioshock 2 is a great example of the latter.
