YESSSSS Vagrant Story! That it came out in the same year as FFIX probably didn't help its sales, but the dialogue and weeeeird creepy vibes were so much better than what FFIX featured.
I looked at videos recently that talk a little bit about it and I have no idea what the stats mean anymore -- but I do remember that I played it so much that character was virtually untouchable by common enemies and maybe even the end boss because I built his agility up so much.

prided myself on being able to beat my friends with any character (even jigglypuff!). i resented that link had a weak recovery, but he really didn't do much jumping in those original zelda games did he?

i recently dled every single wipeout soundtrack and lemme tell ya that's a real good playlist to hit shuffle on. even including the later ones!

my #2 (after wip3out). don't remember those orbital & leftfield tracks though, were they xl (usa) only or on a separate soundtrack album?whenever i could be heard from the street shouting obscenities at the screen i was probably playing wipeout. i got quite into it.

So many Important Classics that I will probably now never play, having aged poorly (the games, I mean, not me. Though maybe I could be aging better, IDK)

in the alternate, no vote splitting universe wipeout wouldve beaten majora's mask and been jsut behind this upcoming one, which i will say in advance, is Too Low

majora’s was my #1, have talked about it elsewhere enough prob but a genuine piece of melancholy art that makes its recycled character assets into an uncanny virtue exceeding the virtue of their originality

FFT a masterpiece mechanical sandbox and high on my ballot tho i’ve never finished it.

ftr the only games listed so far that I would accept as potentially superior to Night Warriors are Wipeout and Bushido Blade
― DJP, Friday, 13 November 2020 20:56 (three years ago) link
silent hill doesn’t use draw distance as well as turok but i did vote for it, of all things because i kinda like the controls.
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 13 November 2020 20:56 (three years ago) link
Never played FFT, and I'm secretly terrible at all turn-based strategy/RTS games :(
Never really played Silent Hill either (except for a demo on one of those magazine discs, remember those?), but it seems dope

silent hill doesn’t use draw distance as well as turokwell it is very foggy there.i voted for silent hill but suddenly can't remember if i played i and ii or just ii.

it’s v foggy in both, that’s what i mean; they’re both using the same sleight-of-hand. it’s not actually a fair comparison tho given the hardware+chronology.
