Colin Moriarty's

[@brianbierlein4747]

I think FFVIII's Junction system is deeper then FFVI's Esper system. The system is so deep you can complete the game without using Draw except for getting some GFs that are required like Siren. Siren has Card Mod which lets you convert cards to spells or items. There's also an ability to convert items to magic and vice-versa. Then you Junction all this magic onto your characters to make them super powerful without even levelling up. And since the monster's levels scale with you, it's sometimes a benefit to not level up. The weapon level up system is also tied into all this because you get new weapons by using all those items you used the GF abilities on to convert magic, monsters and cards into. It's all tied together. Fantastic system, fantastic game, an extremely underrated entry in the FF franchise.

[@mileswilliams4807]

I agree.

[@mileswilliams4807]

FF9 is a masterpiece.

[@turanx0]

+Miles Williams Thank you. My favorite will always be VII, but IX is so close to it. I always feel like IX is overlooked somehow. It's a masterpiece, incredible from start to finish. Man, the memories...

[@mileswilliams4807]

+Turan X For sure man! 10 will always be my fav. They're all good in there own way. Even 13 haha.

[@PatrickDudemaister]

The problem with the Junction system is that you never want to (or need to) use magic in battle because you would have to go and draw it from enemies again...

[@TheRoguekira]

That intro was just fantastic.

[@AndyManiaCortez]

thanks, dude!

[@matthews2401]

Couldn't agree more about Castlevania SOTN. When that castle flipped after the "ending", my mind was blown like nothing in a game has done before or since. Amazing

[@PLANTBAT]

Man, almost everything Colin is passionate about in video games is very present in the Dark Souls series. I wish he played them. (I guess there's a reason he doesn't, I don't know, it's just my speculation.)

[@nayden5834]

IKR? the way he describes his love for Castlevania is exactly what makes The Souls games so great. He should especially play Bloodborne that is Castlevania vibes all over.

[@mileswilliams4807]

I know he tried Bloodborne for a while and dropped off from it. I wish he would go back to it. I know he would love it. That game is a gem.

[@SzopTuptus]

not to mention great dlc which makes amazing game even better.

[@mileswilliams4807]

Definitely!

[@drdickphd]

I agree. It seems like it might just have to do with where Colin is at in life right now. When he was a kid and had all the time in the world, he loved diving head-first into challenging games and mastering them, but now he doesn't have a lot of time to devote to that kind of thing. Perhaps if he was retired and living out his fantasy of having all the time in the world then he'd be able to get into From's games.

[@gustavoaviles9960]

I love how the new setting is influencing Colin & Greg to act more humble and passionate toward video games as they used to act while in IGN, for a while they felt more laid back in the old studio.

[@DarkYetTranquil]

i love watching this show stoned, the expressions trip me the fuck out

[@luciddre4m]

The confession room in Symphony of the Night is still one of the creepiest, coolest little areas in any game I've ever played.

[@Garbzz]

The mention of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night made me remember the Kinda Funny "book club." What happened ever happened to that?

[@claptrap4098]

I have Castlevania SOTN on PSOne , PS3, Xbox360 and now XboxOne. A true classic !

[@jrpgcentral3237]

Colin as Monokuma? Can Dangonranpa 3 just replace Monokuma with Colin in a bear suit? I'd find that hilarious.

[@G_Rad_Ski]

As a gamer who is a bit older than these guys I think they are pretty spot on regarding the classics. However it seems due to their jobs they don't really have the time to appreciate many games that don't give you a classically derived gameplay loop within 5 minutes of playing the game, especially Colin. I have been there, beat that too so rehashing the playground gamer days doesn't do much for me. Also I am a SMB3 > SMW guy since SMW just took what 3 did and made it better but 3 moved Mario forward more than World.

[@CRBJgames]

[@geoffreysmart6801]

I gotta disagree with Colin on FF6 and its esper system. Don't get me wrong, it's also my favorite FF game but I never found the esper system very deep. FF7's materia is a much more interesting system in my opinion.

[@cidfacetious3722]

he wasn't just including the esper system its how every character functions different in battle

[@geoffreysmart6801]

Jay Gunter Well, he says that every aspect of FF6 is deeper than FF7, or something along these lines, which i disagree with.

[@alexlandsbergs]

well its technically true, FF7 didnt have the esper system.

[@broznar1019]

the esper system makes and breaks the game. It expands the possibilities for the characters and at the same time it dilutes all the characters to make them all mages, making Celes and Terra all but generic

[@matthewsan78]

I played Wild Arms on the Vita last year, based partially on Colin's recommendation, and the fact that I like oldschool RPGs...I beat it, but didn't really think it was that good. Not sure about all the love for that game, but I think there might be a lot of nostalgia involved. :P Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[@simplemanrobertson6635]

I'm only 20, so my gaming history begins with 64 and I obviously didn't play very complex games for a while. A big part of my list is what was happening in my life during my time with the game, and how the game impacted me, so I would love to share my reasoning behind each choice if you want to ask. Also, I haven't played some of these in a very long time and therefore I have no idea how I would feel about them if I replayed them now, but here's my list (not in order) for anyone who cares: The Last of Us Skyrim Batman: Arkham City Pokemon Emerald Banjo Tooie Bloodborne Call of Duty: Black Ops II

[@MysticBazooka]

Black ops 2 is an interesting choice. But everyone seems to have an online shooter that they connect with and Blops 2 is a fine online shooter with a decent to good campaign.

[@rodoromero]

I've also heard a lot of great things from a friend, and actually bought the first one and the second one on a PSN sale, but I've yet to play them. Colin's talk about it made me more interested in the trying it. Related to how final Fantasy VII cast a shadow over other great jRPGs of the time, made me think of Suikoden 2, so awesome!

[@luciddre4m]

Part of me also thinks the name "Wild Arms" didn't do the game any favors when it comes to marketability.
