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.
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.
