As a D&D grognard since 1980 I’m baffled by why people think they have to keep upgrading to the newest version, and depending on a company to fix whatever’s wrong with old versions. There are other ways to make choices in life besides clicking on menu options.
Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

Old RPGs.
They shouldn’t be popular, they should be wildly popular.

cough ORAS extremely grindy, i played pre-2007 and post 2007 and getting certain stuff was insane, im guessing thats why rs3 came out to mitigate that but pissy-gatekeeping fans wanted the old game back. and they never stopped complaining either, especially towards the rs3, especially what happened to rs3 recently.

Back when I could only afford a game every once in a while oldschool rpgs were great. They took forever and some had decent replayability (like pokemon or classes in FF). Nowadays they just feel like a slog.

I love old RPGs but they’re too grindy for me now or something.
Like I bought the Final Fantasy Tactics remake. Original is easily my favorite game of all time. And a HUGE Quality of Life improvement the remake added was the ability to fast forward the gameplay and the cutscenes (IYKYK).
Every time I try to pick up my 2nd all time favorite FF6(Snes) I find myself losing interest after my 10th random encounter. I like the story, the characters, the music(!), the puzzles/exploration.
But the gameplay itself, sadly, just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Like I burned many hours on my gameboy colour playing Dragon Warrior. So it’s not like I never liked the genre.

You might enjoy the FF6 randomizer: ff6worldscollide.com It has a very active development and community (and most settings start with a moogle charm or 3 in your inventory)

Yes😔 Always hated the unnecessary grind so my favourites are more Icewind dale than pokemon (it was so grindy it’s insane IMO).
But yeah, did knights of pen and paper 2 on mobile, most underwhelming story but like no grind so I even finished it (it’s not very long though).
