I'm slowly trying to get through my stack of shame, and one of the games I put on the backburner was the remastered version of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (Nintendo Switch Version).
I tried to play it with some studio friends last year but it was a pain in the butt to deal with and super frustrating, so I put it in the back and moved onto some other games to play.
After finishing a few other games in the stack and while FFXIV Endwalker is coming out a few months away, I decided to revisit it and set aside a few hours each week to play it with friends who are willing to put up with the rough multiplayer aspect.
At first I thought it was still a royal pain, but as I'm now in Year 4 and there are a lot of dungeons to do without cutscenes getting in the way as much, I'm enjoying it a bit more. When you get into a dungeon and everyone is in, it's fun, but it's the stuff in-between that really dampens the experience. The flow of the game is really off, and I wish they redid some fundamental things of the game to make it work for a modern age.
I wouldn't know how to pull it off, and I don't think Square-Enix did either. Still aiming to finish it, though.
