My top 3 games of all time:
- Final Fantasy IX
- Baldur's Gate II
- Diablo II
All in 2000. Oof. I didn't even realise this until you asked OP. What a time to be 12 that was.
Then 2023 has got to be a pretty good year for you too, with the releases of Final Fantasy 16, Baldur's Gate 3, and Diablo 4. I have enjoying Diablo 4 and am really looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3 (I haven't played the early-access).
Comparing these franchises then to now makes my head spin…
Indeed, it's pretty surreal. Working on my Diablo Druid as we speak, whilst happily awaiting BG3. The fact my daughter is due to arrive the same month it releases makes the nostalgia extra surreal.
Honestly haven't given FF16 much thought though tbh. Haven't played one since 10. They've all looked kind of interchangeable and generic since then. 9 was special for me.
Nothing will ever top FF6-9. It was such a great time in Final Fantasy story telling.
