Bought Skyrim on sale for like $15 for PS4. Had never played it until now. Pretty fun, but after the opening sequence I feel lost. I'm so used to these streamline games where you're guided to your next destination that a free roaming one feels impossible at the moment.
Debating on buying FFVII remake bc all of my friends are hyped over it. I've honestly only ever played FF1. Should I dive in to the one with the highest regard in terms of a loyal fanbase?
Skyrim is great head to Ironbide barrow or whatever its called and get the fire soultrap weapon and disenchant that shit so you can snipe people with flaming arrows that fill your soul gems. thats the only place you can get it im pretty sure.
Final Fantasy 7 remake is designed to ease people into the genre with updated playstyle and what not but the SNES turn based RPGs are the definitive games in my opinion.
6 is the best clearly no debating I would start with that one but being a super nintendo game its pretty grindy at times so you might want to use the vanish/doom glitch to beat some of the tougher bosses.
5 is the most underrated but maybe best left for later once you've played the FF's with stronger story lines.
7 original is the most digestible for normal people in my opinion because it takes place in a modern setting and isn't too dungeons and dragonsy
8 is trash don't play it
9 is the most medieval and has the cutest character of the entire series (Vivi the black mage) its pacing is a little off putting though and there are too many random encounters but it's worth playing
People love 4 but I never cared for it. Your millage may vary.
