      Good news, Folklore is owned by Sony so it's not off the table.
      Bad news: The studio that made it shut down after the game released, in like 2012. And we know Sony's direction these days. Disgusting optimism indeed.

    After the Nier remake Drakengard 3 deserves a remake more than any game I can think. Some optimization and a modernization of the combat could put it up there as Yoko Taro's best game. All of his games are incredibly thought-provoking stories but something about Drakengard 3 just elevates it, whether it's the characters the setting or just the relationship between Zero and Mikhail the game tells a more profound story than any game I've ever played and deserves the same love the Nier games have gotten recently.

    Time and Eternity has always been a fascinating game to me just cause of the style. I wish there was another JRPG that used that style and was actually good and interesting and not the usual anime filler, and improved on the style with more animations and less awkwardness. But eh, that'll probably never happen cause nowadays people would just pull an Arc System Works. Not that it's bad but eh, it lacks the charm of genuinely animated sprites.

    Super Robot Taisen is a great series and is probably a major inspiration for other Bamco crossover titles such as NamcoXCapcom and ProjectXZone. It's basically Mecha Fire Emblem with a massive crossover cast from 15-30 mecha shows. The one you showed is part of the OG series, which includes no licensed IPs. The recent SRT V,X and T provide a modern experience using the classic formula and would serve as a good entry point, as they require no prior knowledge and include many familiar faces such as Gundam(V+X+T), Evangelion(V) and Code Geass(X). The anniversary game SRT30 is the most recent release and shakes up the formula a bit. Most of the newer releases are available in English on multiple platforms.

    Super Robot Wars is hard to get into cuz in a franchise of like 70+ games only like 10 are translated into English officially or otherwise. And since the main draw of these games is seeing your favorite mecha anime crossover and try to piece together a plot out of 10 different anime, you probably won’t find much in it outside the at best pretty alright srpg gameplay.
    That being said, the best games to jump in with are probably T cuz it’s fairly new, well liked and in english, and Alpha Gaiden because it’s in english and is generally considered one of the best.
    However if you’d rather a story of non anime mechs then you should play Masou Kishin: The Lord Elemental for the SNES as it has great visuals, a decent yet charming story (translated into english), and is pretty much wholly contained within its own characters and world. You could also play OGs for the PS2, as it has also been fan translated into english and is a remake of OG1 and OG2 on GBA, featuring a cast made up of original characters from the last few games all in one plotline. Masou Kishin in particular has a ton of weird mechanics but OGs is fairly well liked, especially compared to other OG games

    Super Robot Wars is actually REALLY easy to get in to like yeah it's a long running series but you really don't need to play the previous games except the OG series and even then the OG only have like 3 titles so far I Think like the first 2 SRW OG in the GBA were combined into a remake on the PS2 Super Robot Wars Original Generations(which got a Fan English Translation btw), theres also OG Gaiden which is a standalone expansion to the remake, OG 2nd on the PS3 and OG The Moon Dwellers.
    The Mainline Super Robot Wars titles are completely standalone except ones who got a sequel like the Alpha and Z series and if you're worried by the Animes you don't know in the rosters don't worry you really don't need to watch their Anime to understand their role in the story as it's mostly original and retreads of their Anime story with just some extra dudes from other Animes mixed in. And I think this is the only crossover series that acknowledge other characters outside their source material and events will not playout exactly like their Animes because of the existence of other Anime characters. Like Shinji in Evangelion will not be a bitch and actually grew some balls because there are other people he can relate with and be a positive role models with or this character will die in the Anime but there's an option to save them because the situation is now different and stuff like that.

    Tales of Xillia 2 is the best Tales game and easily one of the best games of 7th gen. The reason the 3rd axis of movement was only available when holding a button was so that the rest of the time (99.9% of the time) you can use the entire controller for arte inputs without it janking your character all over the place at the same time.
    The fact that they did away with arte binding after this game is the primary flaw of the Tales series and the reason they still haven't made another one worth playing. They've literally traded away full control over your characters' attacks for not having to hold down L2 for a second if you want to free run, which you may need to do 3 times in a given playthru.

    At 7:40 moment: I do the same with games to see how low I can get framerate going. On bloon 4 I am currently on wave 295 on Iphone, and I made few worlds on 3ds mario maker not designed to be good, but long and full of enemies to see how much 3ds slows down. Also got 3ds to crash on bloon 4 many times
