6) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion

I know the game came out but I loved the first Crisis Core and I’ve been playing the remake like crazy since it came out. Even going so far as using Playstation 5’s Remote Play feature to play it on my laptop out of the view of the kids.

While not a full remake like Final Fantasy VII Remake, it’s a remarkably cleaned-up version of a rare game you could normally only play on PSP (or Openemu *cough*) that offers something rare for Final Fantasy. The ability to actually play and accomplish something in less than an hour.

Perfect for little playthroughs, this gorgeous game with remarkably awkward dialogue that makes FFX look like a masterpiece is an absolute joy for short game sessions.

The only thing I was disappointed in is that while a lot of the dialogue is rerecorded, it’s still SUPER pause filled in the English version because they didn’t do mouth animation for the English dub. So you get a lot of dialogue like this. “So…you would get…a whole lot…dialogue. Just…like this?”

5) SD Gundam Battle Alliance

Listen, you need to understand that if I do a list of gaming there will be a Gundam game on there. Deal with it. I’m an old weeb and it’s my catnip okay?

But that out of the way, SD Gundam Battle Alliance is so damned good and weird. While I don’t fully understand why they turned everything into SDs (super deformed) I don’t mind it because the story is the most interesting I’ve ever seen in a Gundam game.

Essentially the story for this game is like Kingdom Hearts for Gundam nerds. In a virtual world that controls the time stream, someone has hacked the system and is causing historical moments in the timeline to be altered. During the famous fight between Ramba Ral and Amuro Ray, Ramba Ral suddenly disappears alongside his Gouf Custom and the Barbatos takes his place as Amuro has to fight the confused pilot.

You’re tasked with having to play through the messed up timeline and then again in a way that fixes things.

I don’t really have a lot of problems with this game as it is an absolute labor of love and my wife laughed at me when I found out I got to walk around an SD version of the White Base.
