Thanatos
Cool thing about emulation is getting all the GBA games and finding something you forgot you even once owned and going "oh yea I knew everything about this game"
Its also scary how a game I learned back to front over like 2 years just completely left my memory. It makes me belive that there are definitely entire childhood friendships I have completely forgotten as well.

Caius is probably the best villain this series has had since VII. If only because the Hamlet wannabe is always on your ass like a good Final Fantasy villain ought to be.
It's over the top, indulgent, festive fantasy drama with incredible costumes and locals that had a lot of work put into then. Three of the characters are from a future where the world is basically over and there are literally only those three humans left in existence living in barren wasteland desert. Despite this all three dress like royalty from a healthy, opulent kingdom and wield ornate swords larger than their torsos. So just chill out I guess. Collect monsters, level up your jobs, read the insane datalogs to learn the centuries long story of Gogmagogs travels through the Rift Between Eras.
The final boss is a bunch of bullshit.

This game really makes you FEEL like a pissed off stupid teenager.
Also it's real good. Its everything you liked about The Last of Us but better. Improved stealth AI around enemies, improved stealth options with the prone and silencer. Its not MGSV but as a linear story driven action game it's one of the best ones out there.
And that beautiful UI. Dark Mode baby! Dark Mode! Seriously this has one of the most pleasing and clean looking UIs out there and combined with the audio cues it makes for a pretty welcoming and well considered presentations in western AAA gaming. Theres as much care for the player here as in a Dragon Quest.

Tried playing this again after having a really good time with Uncharted 2. I just don't think I can play through this game again. It feels so bad to play. Drakes animations are all over the place and the character and camera get caught on so much of the geometry. Its quote astonishing how bad it can feel to just move around and shoot in this thing.
Changing my rating from 2 stars to 1 star. Cant belive I actually ended up enjoying this worse than 1. The story was never something to take super seriously or anything but it's just so hilariously bad in this game too. Not even in fun campy ways theres just lazy plot devices and stupid moments constantly and for no reason other than seeming laziness or poor planning on the part of the storytellers.
