Obvious choices here is the FFX | X-2 collection. So far I've sunk over 250 hours into both games combined on my Vita, and I only need 4 more trophies to platinum both games (and they're all in Last Mission.... fuck you Last Mission)
Dragon's Crown has an overworld style of adventure game, and you can easily sink tons of hours into it by progressing up the difficulty.
Tearaway is really great, but it's also super short so don't expect it to last you very long.
Ys: Memories of Celceta is supposed to be pretty good too.
FFX is not the "obvious choice". It has randomly triggered encounters which is 1) disruptive to the act of exploration and 2) ruining to the sense of immersion / being there because you are constantly being yanked away. Not to mention 3) in 2014 nobody should buy a game with randomly triggered encounters regardless, and doing so automatically makes you a bad person, and in moral debt equal to whatever the price paid for the game.
Hyperbole much? Gee, I get that you dislike random encounters, but it's not like they're hard to avoid or something. Why the hate? I would understand if they were as pervasive as down-the-sights aiming in shooters, but I think the only relatively new game released in the recent past that has random encounters and is worth playing Bravely Default. I'm not counting FFX because it's a remake.
So... what's the deal with you and someone who enjoys games that happen to have random encounters?
1) what hyperbole? its not as though I said all games with random encounters are the worst games of all time. All I did was explain how they conflict with exploration, and afterwards I stated that random encounters are an antiquity.
2) "its not like theyre hard to avoid or something" umm, I wasn't commenting on how pervasive or not pervasive they are. My post was simply referring to FFX. It could be the only game released this gen with random encounters and it would *still* be a bad game. Comparably, the scarcity of rape simulators doesn't make Rapelay more excusable necessarily.
3) "has random encounters and is worth playing" lol
u funny, bro
4) "I'm not counting FFX because its a remake" thats perfectly reasonable. I wouldn't count FF6 iOS either since its a remake, or FF4 The After Years since its a sequel, or Bravely Default since its a throwback, or Pokemon since only in some parts does it have it, and let's definitely not count PS1 classics, PS2 classics, Virtual console, mobile ports, or HD collections.
But the point is we should all buy FFX because it's remake with no changes whatsoever and this means we definitely want to buy it. And actually, they did change something: they improved the graphics. Quite a bold move on their part!
