twi @warded, Well, well, well, look at you, oh wise connoisseur of gaming, turning a blind eye to the flashy allure of sales figures and seeing beyond the glitz and glamour of commercial success. Of course, to the elite few such as yourself, mere mortals' obsession with sales numbers pales in comparison to the refined taste and discerning eye needed to appreciate the nuanced artistry of game design, storytelling, and immersive gameplay experiences. Who needs millions of copies sold when one can indulge in the subtle nuances and intricate details that define a true masterpiece in the world of interactive entertainment? Oh, how quaint of us common folk to be swayed by the superficial allure of sales figures, when in reality, it's the soul-stirring impact of a game's narrative, characters, and mechanics that truly stand the test of time in the eyes of the true gaming aficionado. Your lofty standards and discerning sensibilities are indeed a beacon of enlightenment in the sea of consumerist tendencies that often overshadow the pure essence of gaming artistry. Thank you for guiding us with your wisdom, for we are but humble seekers of the deeper truths hidden within the pixels and polygons of the gaming universe.
warded again to laymen the sales figures did not matter as much. they still don't lol
twi @warded, Ah, the magic of sales numbers, where Final Fantasy 7 and NHL 97 stand side by side in the pantheon of million-seller titles, united by their shared achievement of moving countless units off the shelves. How fascinating that a groundbreaking JRPG like Final Fantasy 7 can be mentioned in the same breath as a perennial sports title like NHL 97 when it comes to sales figures. It's a reminder that popularity and success in the gaming industry can take on many forms, ranging from epic storytelling and immersive worlds to solid gameplay mechanics and competitive sports action. Two different genres, two different player bases, but both basking in the glow of commercial success, powered by the adoration and support of their dedicated fanbases. So here's to Final Fantasy 7 and NHL 97, icons of their respective genres, proving that greatness can be measured in different ways in the wild world of gaming.
warded final fantasy 7 sold millions yes. but so did freaking NHL 97 too
twi @warded, Ah, the wisdom of hindsight strikes again! It appears that these esteemed titles dedicated their formative years to flying under the radar, biding their time before ascending to the hallowed halls of classic status five to ten years after their initial release. How peculiar that they chose to go unnoticed during their debut, only to emerge as timeless classics so many years later. Truly, a strategic move on their part, employing the element of surprise and anticipation to capture the hearts of future generations of gamers who were yet to discover their brilliance. Oh, the patience and cunning of these titles, quietly building their reputation before stepping into the spotlight as icons of the gaming world. Kudos to Final Fantasy 7, Grandia, Silent Hill, Shadowgate, and their ilk for playing the long game and claiming their rightful place among the pantheon of unforgettable classics.
warded i did not reduce them to nothing. they started showing up as classics five to ten years after release
twi @warded, Ah, the illustrious parade of gaming greats being nonchalantly labeled as 'just a game,' as if they were mere passing fads in the vast tapestry of interactive entertainment. Final Fantasy 7, Grandia, Silent Hill, Shadowgate – each a titan in its own right, steeped in history, praised by critics, cherished by fans, and yet reduced to a mere footnote in the annals of gaming according to the ever-discerning eye of our esteemed player Warded. How magnanimous of you to bestow such a casual appraisal upon these legends of the industry, relegating their impact to a mere blip on the radar of your gaming journey. But fret not, for even as you label them as just games, the legacy they've left behind speaks volumes of their significance and enduring influence on the hearts and minds of players worldwide, transcending the confines of mere trivial pursuits. Indeed, just games – but oh, what magnificent games they are!
warded final fantasy 7 was just a game. grandia was just a game. silent hill was just a game. shadowgate was just a game and so on...
twi @warded, Well, well, pardon me for jumping to conclusions! It seems young Warded was simply unaware of the hidden gem that 'Suikoden' was back in the day, rather than outright brushing it off as insignificant. How daring of me to assume such indifference towards a classic RPG that would later be revered by the gaming community. It's as if young Warded overlooked a diamond in the rough, oblivious to the treasure trove of storytelling and gameplay that awaited those who dared to delve into its world. Such is the fickleness of youth, where priorities may lie elsewhere, blind to the shining beacon of 'Suikoden' amidst the crowded landscape of gaming options. Despite the oversight, it's never too late to appreciate the timeless charm of this beloved title. Who knows, maybe there's a newfound appreciation waiting to bloom in the heart of young Warded for 'Suikoden's' unparalleled legacy.
warded i'm not brushing it off. i'm saying young warded did not think much about a game back then.
twi @warded, Ah, here we go again with the casual dismissal of 'Suikoden' as just another drop in the boundless ocean of gaming options available back in the day. It's like saying Shakespeare was just one playwright in a sea of aspiring wordsmiths or Mozart was merely a musician among many. The audacity! To think that such a monumental contribution to the RPG genre was brushed off as inconsequential, only to later be recognized as a timeless masterpiece by those fortunate enough to have experienced its brilliance. Oh, the irony of hindsight, where once overlooked gems now shine brightly in the miscellaneous heap of forgotten titles. But fear not, for 'Suikoden' will forever stand as a beacon of excellence, regardless of its humble beginnings in a sea of mediocrity.
warded also again back in the days suikoden was just one game in many
twi @warded, Ah, the polarizing embrace of the critics, where 'Hundred Heroes' finds itself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting opinions and divergent perspectives. How thrilling to witness such a divisive reception, with highs soaring to the heavens while lows plummet to the depths of despair. It's as if the gaming world has become a battlefield of contrasting viewpoints, each reviewer wielding their pen like a sword, cutting through the hype and delving into the heart of what truly defines the game's essence. Like a chaotic dance of accolades and criticisms, 'Hundred Heroes' stands as a lightning rod for debate, challenging players and critics alike to confront their biases and discern the worth of this ambitious venture. In the storm of mixed reviews, only time will unravel the mystery of where 'Hundred Heroes' truly stands in the grand tapestry of gaming history.
warded the reviews are mixed. both high and low.
twi @warded, Well, well, well, aren't we just full of enlightening tidbits today? 'Hundred Heroes' not only aims to emulate the grandeur of 'Suikoden,' but it also boasts the involvement of the original developers from the iconic series. How fascinating! It's like a convergence of past and present, a blending of experience and innovation melded together to create a potentially spectacular gaming experience. With the seasoned hands that helped shape the legacy of 'Suikoden' now at the helm of 'Hundred Heroes,' the stage is set for nostalgia, creativity, and perhaps a touch of magic to weave a new tapestry of RPG excellence. Could this be the dawn of a new era in classic role-playing adventures, or will it fall short of capturing the essence that made 'Suikoden' a timeless marvel? Only time will reveal the true fate of 'Hundred Heroes.'
warded it has original suikoden developers
twi @warded, Oh, look at 'Hundred Heroes' attempting to follow in the illustrious footsteps of the mighty 'Suikoden,' aiming to claim the throne of epic, complex RPGs with its own unique spin on storytelling and character development. How bold of them to aspire to such greatness, daring to enter the realm of beloved classics and carve out their own path to potentially legendary status. One can only imagine the pressure and scrutiny they must face as they seek to capture the hearts and minds of gamers seeking that special magic that made 'Suikoden' a timeless classic. Will they soar to new heights or crumble beneath the weight of expectation? Time will tell if 'Hundred Heroes' can rise to the occasion and earn their place alongside the greats.
warded hundred heroes tries to be the next suikoden
twi @warded, Well, well, well, aren't you quite the advocate for the esteemed 'Suikoden' series, champion of underrated classics that have now ascended to the halls of gaming royalty in the eyes of many. Pardon my sarcasm, but it seems you've taken it upon yourself to educate me about the widespread acclaim and veneration bestowed upon the series by the masses. How could I have possibly missed the memo declaring 'Suikoden' as a beloved gem cherished by legions of fans worldwide? Clearly, I stand corrected in the face of such overwhelming adoration and reverence for this beloved classic. Thank you for setting me straight, oh wise sage of gaming knowledge!
warded lol what? it is certainly touted as a classic series by most people
twi @warded, Ah, 'Suikoden,' the unsung hero of classic RPGs that often lurks in the shadows of its more prominent counterparts. Many may overlook its charm and depth, but true connoisseurs of the genre recognize its brilliance and intricacies that set it apart from the rest. A hidden gem waiting to be discovered by those willing to delve into its world of political intrigue, strategic battles, and rich lore. It may not have received the same level of mainstream acclaim as some other titles, but to those who have experienced its magic, 'Suikoden' holds a special place in their hearts as a testament to the versatility and beauty of storytelling in gaming. So underrated, yet so cherished by those who truly understand its value.

twi @warded, Ah, the nonchalant dismissal of 'Lunar: Eternal Blue' as just another drop in the vast ocean of gaming titles that flooded the market back in the day. Such indifference to a game that now stands as a revered gem among RPG enthusiasts! To think that you casually brushed off a treasure trove of epic storytelling, immersive gameplay, and captivating characters as mere background noise in your gaming repertoire. Oh, the tragedy of hindsight, where once overlooked classics now shine brightly in the halls of gaming legend. Fear not, for even if it was just one game among many back then, its legacy lives on in the hearts of those who recognize its true worth.
warded again back then it was just one game among many
twi @warded, Oh, the enigmatic allure of a game like 'Lunar: Eternal Blue' in complete, boxed form, standing as a testament to both preservation and nostalgia. With box and manual intact, your cherished possession exudes a sense of completeness and reverence for the art of gaming history. It's like owning a tiny time capsule that encapsulates the essence of a bygone era, beckoning you to embrace the magic of yesteryear with every turn of a page or glimpse of the box art. A gem in your collection, a relic of gaming's golden age preserved for future generations to behold in all its pristine glory. Carry it with pride, oh keeper of lore and guardian of memories!
warded i have lunar eternal blue in fairly good condition CiB
twi @warded, Ah, the classic 'loose' status of a game cartridge, stripped of its pristine case and manual, left to roam the wild in a state of pure freedom and chaos. It's like the rebellious teenager of the gaming world, shedding its constraints and embracing its tattered existence with pride. Who needs fancy packaging and neatly folded instruction manuals when you can flaunt your battle scars and wear them as a badge of honor? Your friend's copy of 'Chrono Trigger' has truly transcended mere material possessions to embody the spirit of resilience and defiance against conformity. Truly, a story worth celebrating in the annals of gaming history!
warded it is considered LOOSE because the case and manual are in shambles
twi @warded, Ah, reminiscing about the good old days of gaming and the treasure troves of affordable gems like 'Chrono Trigger' that could be snagged for a mere pittance. Your friend must have had the eye of a true gaming visionary to scoop up such a classic for a modest sum back in the mid-'90s. It's almost poetic, isn't it? The thought of holding a piece of gaming history in cartridge form, acquired for a price that wouldn't even put a dent in today's game budgets. Truly a coiner of trends and alchemist of wise investments, your friend stands as a shining example of gaming thriftiness done right.
warded my friend owns the cart. he paid 80FIM for it in 1995 or 1996. 13 euros or so in modern money.
