what is your opinion on them (games like final fantasy, dragon quest, chrono trigger, etc)
Lately it seems games like this aren't really being taken seriously/being made for consoles (the exception being Lost Odyssey and maybe a few more), and I can sort of understand why, but at the same time I find it a little saddening. These were some of the best games for older consoles like the PS1 (imo), but they aren't really as appealing to the general gaming crowd anymore.
like final fantasy vii for example, i have a hard time finding anybody on the internet (excluding like gamefaqs and ff fan forums) that actually likes it - they argue its too cliched, the story makes no sense, turn based battles (especially with the atb) is shit, etc. valid arguments from one perspective i suppose, but i personally think the game is very well executed and entertaining - the story is a little convoluted, but its still engaging and has some great characters
i'm mostly just curious what you guys think of them because i very rarely come across people that dont find them boring and unappealing; is it true that these games are an acquired taste and could never again be totally relevant in the modern world?
