    I thought “Threads of Fate” was an underrated PS1 game. Some nice graphics for its time, some nice music, and an action RPG setting that predates the “Kingdom Hearts” series, which makes sense since it was created by Squaresoft before it became Sqaure-Enix.

    • @6crackcrack6
      @6crackcrack6 2 роки тому +2

      Threads of fate was one of my favs that I've never known anyone in person to have played. That game deserves more than a remaster and be upscaled with an open world, enhanced mechanics, and combat. Characters and story can remain the same

    • @dadephunt1717
      @dadephunt1717 Рік тому +1

      Threads was really cool. That's where you play as princess mint or else little animal shifter guy right? Another weird one was pandemonium, I'm going to just fire off titles now. Final fantasy tactics seemed broken and impossible on the rooftop where you have to protect the twins. Because unless you bought all the right equipment before hand. None of your Guys gets a single turn. Before a twin dies and you game over. And to reinforce that they had it be 1.the store you gotta buy at, then 2. a nice hard level that your team will handle, then a save prompt, then without any chance to go anywhere you respec your team and the 3. Roof battle starts. So unless you bought like, +1 speed shoes +1 speed hats, and EVERYONE has all the prerequisites to be a ninja, you have managed to save at a point where you are already doomed...geez that was crooked. ...ohh also bushido blade, medieval, jade cocoon, Valerie profile, blood omen, it's all about unholy war. Seriously. Loved it deeply and often. Wtf was with vagrant story? Chaining combos was super easy but just made the guy increasingly useless? I think I got stuck on the 2 knights or whatever and got tired of it.
