      Fight me.

      Alright, Aldi parking lot. No kicking!

      I’d personally would put 7 at the bottom and the top spot for me would be a toss up between 8 and 9.

        Aldi it is, I can pick myself up some cheese while I’m there.

        I love 7, like really love it but even I can admit it’s overrated. 8 is solid though, underrated in my opinion.

          Alright, could use some milk too.

          7 never clicked for me at all. Never had the patience to play through it. 8 definitely was severly underrated, but I think I’m seeing a lot more appreciation for it lately.

            Can we stop by M&S as well? They do some nice cookies.

            Yeah, 8 is definitely getting more love and appreciation these days. 7 did a lot of cool things, but it also did a lot of terrible things. I’ve played the first 20 hours of 7 many, many times but never actually completed it more than a few times. 8 always brings me back.

              M&S

              Had to google what that is, isn’t that a clothing cchai? I doubt they have cookies.

              I never completed 7, I don’t think I ever made it through the first disc. My sister played through it. 8 and 9 I simply loved to play. And even nowadays, while I don’t have the old games anymore, I like to watch content for 8 and 9, but I can’t stand watching 7 at all. As I said, it never clicked for me, I can’t stand it.

                They do have a clothing range, but they also have a slightly upmarket store and have some particularly nice biscuits. My favourites are the Dark Chocolate and Lime jaffa cakes, which I know aren’t technically biscuits but all the same they’re delicious.

                I think it’s completely fair to say that the writing got a lot better in 8 and 9 than 7 had. 7 was janky all over the place, which I guess is part of its charm but 8 definitely felt a bit more grown up. Though for me, 9 was quite forgettable in that regard, but perhaps that’s because it has been a couple of decades since I last actually tried it.

                  What I like about 9 is that it starts of as just a whimiscal adventure. And they severly cut back on the edgy writing, that’s a huge plus in my book too.

                  Also, I just love the character design, Vivi (the black mage) in particular.
