His community has been voting for it for a bit! It was about time!

My husband is finally learning the ways of SaGa and joining the ranks of the SaGa sickos. Go watch him stream: www.twitch.tv/snesterday

My two older daughters and I are playing Pokemon Sun/Moon together and it's really wholesome! 🥹

I've heard about it for years but never actually saw it anywhere. Managed to find the guide and game!

Some gamies we picked up today!

Sidenote: there are a lot of other delightful JRPGs series out there that are worth your time too! Spend less time online arguing about what good and take some time to experience more stories through this medium.

I challenge people instead to not ask “what’s the best Final Fantasy?”

But instead: “What made this one matter to you?”

And if you can’t answer that without calling someone else wrong you’re not having a discussion. You’re just defending your nostalgia. 🤷‍♀️

But it also means the fanbase is fractured by design.
We didn’t grow up on the same game. We didn’t fall in love the same way.

It feels like devs can’t please everyone anymore because they’re trying to satisfy multiple generations of completely different expectations.

Final Fantasy as a series reinvents itself constantly.

Unfortunately, this means every entry is someone’s favorite and someone else’s “this isn’t Final Fantasy.”
I find that this isn't a flaw, it's the entire identity of the series.

So instead of:

“I didn’t connect with this game because…”

We get:

“This game is bad.”

And that shuts down any actual conversation because no one is willing to listen to the experiences. People are afraid to engage too in fear of being told they are "wrong".

But online discourse flattens that nuance.

People tend to present their experience as fact instead of perspective.

I find a big issue being missed in conversation is that someone who started with FFIV at release as a ten year old is not having the same conversation as someone who started with FFXIII on release when they were 15.

They both love these titles and neither are wrong for it.

For the past eleven years on Twitch, Final Fantasy has been my home base. It’s where I feel most comfortable, and it’s also where I’ve had some of the most meaningful conversations about how these games resonate with people in completely different ways.

Final Fantasy discourse is exhausting because people argue like there’s an objective “best game” instead of recognizing we all played completely different games emotionally.

Incoming thread of my gripe with how people handle this in the age of social media. 🧵:
