Cave Story

Cave Story

played it as a young teen and this is the game that made me realize that the medium was truly special and ignited my spark for getting more invested in it and going out of my way to find other games i might like instead of just playing shooters forever. king is the goat and misery my queen. formative Combo game.

played on a whim after buying a ps3 to play nier and before even knowing about moon or the dev that would end up being one of my favorites! another formative game, somehow had so much impact on me that a lot of its philosophies started bleeding into my own and now i am one with Chu♥lip..Mwah.

Dragon Quest V

Dragon Quest V

i was sadly tortured as a child (raised on DQIX) so i never got to play this one until recently by playing the game in numbered order and it was a blast. this is like The Adventure, the final party made me feel warm inside. we need more games like this but i don't know if they'll be able to hit like DQV does, both as an RPG and a Story of Life.. #raw i'll play the SFC version eventually, very interested to see how some of the scenes were originally presented.

Final Fantasy IX

i love all the PSX FF games but this has to be the one that just does it all for me, and i'm not saying that just because vivi is in it but.. vivi is in it.. everything here is top-notch and some of the best of Square i've played, definitely has my favorite FF cast. lovingly crafted game with very poignant messages. also holyyyyy Over the Hill.

had so much fun trying to piece everything together while going through Kill The Past in release order that i don't even mind having played the inferior NDS version. will be going for another run when the PS2 TL drops.

my friend said he thought the final scene on the roof was reddit so i killed him with my bare hands which is not what this game would have wanted. LOVE AND TRUST YOUR FRIENDS.
