  • Xenogears for the PS1 had one of the best combat systems I’ve ever played. Tied with Star Ocean 2 for the PS1. There’s a remake which I think they overhauled the combat system, so I’m not sure if it still is as good as the first edition, but the customizability was amazing.

    After that Grandia was fun, but I played it far less than the aforementioned, so have less to say. Chrono Trigger was very good for what it was, and IMHO was only matched by FF6 in that category (heavy turn based combat systems). Chrono Cross is an honorable mention in that category as well.

    Lastly, very recently the Sea of Stars game had a very good combat system.

    Ultimately these games have great stories, and that’s all I really cared about, but the combat systems could either make or break the monotonous grind to get to the plot points, so they had to be at least decent to make the games playable.

    I highly recommend any of these games. Chrono Trigger in particular is highly regarded as possibly the greatest JRPG of all time, and personally I’d put Xenogears at 2nd place, with Star Ocean 2 at 3rd. But I might just be nostalgic.













  • I’ve heavily customized my BSPWM TWM (bash configs and scripts), NeoVim configuration (extensions and custom Lua Scripts), Suckless Terminal Emulator (plugins and C compiled config file), and Librewolf Browser via userchrome.CSS and extensions, all on Artix Linux without systemd and near daily updates with occasional breaking changes.

    That said, I release small to medium scale personal Web/CLI projects in my spare time and have noticed I just move through projects faster than my peers (self learning and bootcamp web devs). I type 100wpm when given a prompt via use of a split 40℅ ortho keyboard (yes, custom keybindings via flashed firmware). So I’m all in down the configuration rabbit hole, but am loving it and feel the massive initial time investment was worth it.
