Nostalgia: that very personal sense of belonging or holding onto something that makes you think it's awesome because you liked it when you were a kid. This doesn't escape video games either, and specially not RPGs.
Over the last few months I've been replaying some of the RPGs I've liked since I can remember (FFs, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, etc). And I discovered some interesting things about nostalgia, namely that it can disappear after years.
For example, while it was never my cup of tea, FFVI was something I used to respect (except for one dimensional villain clown guy) but I replayed it recently its mobile port and man it's... pretty bad actually. I shook my head and thought "Jesus, people fought/fight online over this game?".
Coincidentially, a game that I thought it was just "ok" back in the day (Chrono Cross) was surprisingly refreshing and has now become one of my favorite Square games.
So, have you played something recently that surprised you because you used to love and now you see it for the things others said about it?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
