Final Fantasy 7.

Random guess: I’ve never played it.

Juan_Raigada · 2015-09-08T08:00:05.000Z

Trails in the sky?

rhamorim · 2015-09-08T08:07:56.000Z

No and no, but the guesses are getting closer. Keep guessing!

Greatatlantic · 2015-09-08T11:06:31.000Z

Dragon Quest VIII?

rhamorim · 2015-09-08T11:13:31.000Z

Nope.

Scotch_Lufkin · 2015-09-08T11:14:23.000Z

Grandia II?

Scott Lufkin:

Grandia II?

Ding ding! It’s Grandia II Anniversary Edition!

I bought it recently on Steam and I’m still pretty early on, but this game has the best turn-based combat system I’ve seen in, well, ever. I want it in ALL THE GAMES.

I also find Ryudo’s cynicism/bluntness amusing. At least at first, there’s a lot of things in him that remind me of Geralt from the Witcher books/games, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Your turn, BleedTheFreak Scott Lufkin!

Scotch_Lufkin · 2015-09-08T11:25:23.000Z

Oh yeah, I really liked Grandia II a lot - I played it on the … Dreamcast, I think? A long time ago. I saw it was on Steam, but never re-visted it. Maybe I should? Okay, I’ll get something together soon!

Scotch_Lufkin · 2015-09-08T11:47:56.000Z

Here we go!

I know exactly what that is. That’s Smallworld 2. Unless it isn’t.

Scotch_Lufkin · 2015-09-08T11:49:39.000Z

Holy shit. What is this a new land speed record!?

If you look carefully, you’ll see two QT3 posters playing this particular game. :)

JoshL · 2015-09-08T11:51:20.000Z

Ha! Sorry, I just got back from 2 hours of meetings and I guess you’d JUST posted the screenshot. Not saying I would have waited if I’d noticed…

I’ll have something up this evening. I have no idea what I’m going to use though…

Man, that little icon looks so familiar.

Age of Wonders 3?

… or Small World. Man, that was fast.

There have been a few times with guesses in the ~1 minute range (I say this with certainty since I’ve done it myself, and had it done to me). But it has become less common as of late.

After this high praise, I checked it out on YouTube.

Uhh, yeah, no. Xenoblade Chronicles is about as much of that as I can do these days.

I hereby restrict you from being excited about a game for the next 24 hours.

Here is a part of a screenshot from a game!

What are you talking about? Xenoblade Chronicles combat has nothing to do with Grandia II. I like Xenoblade and all, but really, Grandia II’s combat system is THE AWESOMEST.
