Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Been a few years but I’m not ever forgetting how to mockball for the early Super Missiles 000
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 29/07/2026One of the cool things about YI is the way the game really rewards you for knowledge of its mechanics. Short four stars at the end of the level? Make some red eggs and go to work 030
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 29/07/2026100% completion of Yoshi’s Island because honestly how else are you going to play this amazing game 140
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Yeah I definitely didn’t exhaust the side quest list by any means 010
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I’d say I consistently do like 60% of the side quests in most games 010
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 16/07/2026These games are…so short? I’ve been conditions by my Final Fantasy journey to think every game will take like 60-80 hours 311

Kerr and I were on briefs, Pippen and Rodman had boxers, it got into yelling and Rodman threatened to kick Kerr’s ass, so Luc finally showed… it was briefs” BRUNO MARS: “damn that’s crazy” 0193
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Biffed the final boss sequence a few times, but that’s OK. Still loved my time with this game. Actually took me a few weeks to play the end sequence, because I didn’t want it to end. I love these characters. (Spoiler) the game really punished me for unequipping Aerith before the final battle lol 000
Reposted by JaredJehtt @turbojehtt.net · 05/07/2026I love how they expanded on the story in this game. 151147814861
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 05/07/2026According to my profile on the website, this is only my second official Four Job Fiesta run, but I swear I’ve done at least one, if not two more. Maybe I just missed the submission deadlines on the other ones. Oh well. FFV still rocks btw 000
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I hope this remake sells bonkers numbers and Nintendo hands the franchise over to this studio for a brand new game 000
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 27/05/2026A game I’ve beaten a dozen times, but for whatever reason, Robo’s character arc really resonated with me in particular this time. 030
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 27/05/2026I’ve played a lot of final fantasy the past two years but idk if I’m in the right headspace for SOPFFO 010
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I thought the hallway simulator joke was an exaggeration. It really and truly is not 000
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I’m still shocked at how well it holds up after all these years. I have no nostalgia for it, first played in 2022, and I came away going “oh yeah this actually is one of the greatest games ever made, all those annoying people on early 00s Internet forums were right” Same with X honestly 010
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 25/05/2026XIII’s saving grace is its battle system. Paradigm shift would have absolutely cooked in a better game. 010
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Final Fantasy tier list now that I’ve played every single-player numbered entry Some slight rearranging could happen here but the core story of this ranking will basically stay the same I think 320
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Between Clair Obscur, Silksong, Hades II, and DK Bananza, it’s hard to think of a year with as strong a top four. 2025 was a pretty nutso year for games 000
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Final Fantasy as a series is at its best when it establishes the standard and sets the trends. XV is a game that tries really really hard to meet the standard and chase the trends. The best FF games are timeless. XV is so characteristically 2016. It’s a fine game in a series of masterwork. 000
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 22/04/2026But for every good moment there were 10 moments of “lol are you kidding me” (like when I come out of a loading screen to this dialogue and this outfit out of nowhere) 100
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 22/04/2026there was a lot to enjoy in this game, and basically all of that enjoyment was from hunting monsters, riding chocobos, and seeing the main 4 guys grow as a unit. The side conversations, the individual struggles, the moments of tension and release, and ultimately the commitment to loyalty at the end 110
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 22/04/2026You get to control Ignis, Prompto, and Gladio in some climactic final battles. That would be cool. Except it’s the first time I controlled any of them, and instead of feeling cool, I got to read tooltips. These three had fully fleshed out combat systems that I experienced for like 15 seconds each 100
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 22/04/2026This was supposed to be a big reveal, I think. I wouldn’t exactly know, because I have no idea who Izunia is. I still don’t. I don’t even care enough to look it up 100
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 22/04/2026This game is in love with tooltips. So many tooltips. Sometimes the tooltip supersedes your ability as a player, too. My damage output was so high I was able to kill the Malboro before it used Bad Breath. But the tooltip told me I needed to flee, so I couldn’t progress the game until I fled 100
Jared @marilink.bsky.social · 22/04/2026There were several plot points and world building pieces that I only learned about via loading screens. I still don’t know what the Crystal is or why it was important. It drove away evil or something? Idk. I barely even knew there was a Crystal until this loading screen for chapter 13. 100
