I’ve only played FF7 for the first time recently. I’m in the process of playing FF8 right now and honestly, I care about the story and characters more in the latter. I don’t know if it’s an age thing, or having been spoiled for so long on FF7 plot beats but not FF8, or what. 8 seems to be striking more chords for me.

I got a retroid pocket 3+ for Christmas. Loaded it up with JRPGs, but this list seems like some fun games to play when I finish one so I don’t burn out on that genre. Thanks a lot!

Not saying you can’t play just one or the other, but they’re both made better by the existence of the other.

It’s really one game split into two. There’s some new tracks in The Lost Age, but if you weren’t a fan of the first OST, the second isn’t any different.

The story continues in the sequel and rounds things out a bit more. If I had to pick between the two, The Lost Age is my favourite, but you can’t have that without the first.

I was going to run a campaign in 5e during a primordial era, where the land is still shifting and moving. Since it takes place thousands of years before anything, I felt “adventurers” wouldn’t fit the characters, and decided “pathfinders” would fit in the setting, and was a funny little tongue in cheek reference.

Since that initial idea, I’ve moved on to playing pf2e, and if I ever run this campaign, am definitely going to keep that name going.
