I think it's boring and a cheesy way to get through dungeons by skipping combats.

I mean marsh cave is only hard until you say fuck it and flee battles while saving lightning magic for the boss fight.

the execution is in the mechanics; dark knight's really only good for attacking (and hurting himself in the process). your first battle as a paladin is against his dark knight forum, & it's cool how you're supposed to defend rather than attack. plus, you get white magic & defensive skills. he goes from someone who's only able to attack to someone who's able to properly defend others.
as for adding the preoccupation with power wrinkle, i think the story works best when it's kept contained and straight-forward as it is. cecil wanted to atone for his past, so he went on a journey and found the power he needed to help others.

Did you actually play this game? The closest thing to God was the Wave Existence and even that thing is just a being from another dimension that was just minding its own business and got yoinked out of its own dimension by the Zohar hungry for more power. The wave existence was just some poor fuck who was at the wrong place at the wrong time and it came up with a long form plan to free itself. That's it.

Who the fuck is Misato supposed to be in this?

Nintendo 64 gets a lot of flak online for its games overusing the fog feature to hide low rendering distance. I see it very often, especially repeated by people with strong preferences for other early 3D consoles, but I have personally rarely encountered it in games I played. Now I admit that I did not play every game on the console, my experience with the platform is mostly limited to some few games I tend to return to every few years.
That said, what are the foggiest games on N64? Which titles gave the console such a strong negative reputation in that particular aspect?

I prefer how games like Dragon Quest 11 handle random encounters.... by not making them random. Just have the monsters in the overworld. Having a few ambushes sprinkled around is fine.

I still leave them on 80% of the time, sometimes I just want to explore the map or check the dungeon for chests without having to worry about it. plus it keeps me lower level so boss fights are more interesting. go fuck yourself retard, theres much more to rpgs than just mashing attack through random trash mobs.
