What's up everybody?
Alex here and welcome back to another episode of Community Question!
How's the new format treating you all by the way?
I know we changed a lot in this series over the past week or so and we'll be talking
about more changes to the series when I reveal this week's Community Question.
Last week, we celebrated 200 subscribers on the channel and in doing so, turned the tables
onto you for last week's Community Question, with me on the receiving end of the questions.
Let's go over as much as we can, shall we?

During the 8-bit and 16-bit era, have you ever used the "Game Genie" in order to
finish a game?
Not once.
I did, however, use it to hack into Street Fighter II World Warrior to unlock the Grandmasters
and make them playable.
Sadly, the results weren't as cool as I thought they'd be...

What is your favorite game in the Yakuza series and why?
This was difficult for me to answer!
Since I'm still deciding on Yakuza 6, I had to basically pick between Yakuza 5 and
Yakuza 0 on this one.
I love how rich and deep the mini-games were in Yakuza 5, but felt that Yakuza 0 had such
an emotionally engaging storyline and two of my favorite mini-games in series history.
So I have to go with Yakuza 0.
While Yakuza 5 does have a whole chapter dedicated to idol Haruka (my favorite part in the game),
I felt that I didn't look back on that game as fondly as I thought I did.
Whenever I think about Yakuza 0, I think about my entire experience with the game from the
bottom up, and it'd be the game in the series that I'd love to replay through all over
again.

What is your favorite plot twist in a game's story?
This is going to be a simple answer, but Act II of Final Fantasy VI.
And on that same note, the "new" overworld music in that game when you're in Act II
is still something I remember fondly to this day.
I hope this answer is ok, as I want more people to play that game!

Do you play mecha games and, if so, what would be your favorites in the genre?
I'm not sure if these games count, but I can name three off the top of my head: the
Zone of Enders series, Front Mission 3, and Omega Boost.
I'm a huge Hideo Kojima fan, so Zone of the Enders - despite the ridiculous cock-pit
location on the robots - was the first thing that popped into mind.
The next game that popped into my mind was Front Mission 3.
By now you're probably thinking: "Wait wait wait.
Alex.
You said you hated turn based strategy RPGs.
This IS one."
Yes.
That's true.
But, if there was a particular game that I'd love to go back to and tricked me into thinking
that I love the genre, it would definitely be Front Mission 3.
I still have my original copy and never sold it!
Lastly, Omega Boost was a game I remembered really loving a lot when I was younger and,
aside from Zone of the Enders, no other game has really captured the action that this game
had.
Do you guys know that the Gran Turismo guys made this game?
Just a little bit of trivia ;)

What is your favorite video game OST that does not seem to get talked about often?
I don't think Final Fantasy XII's soundtrack gets a lot of love.
It's quite different than most traditional Final Fantasies, but it fit the aesthetic
and gameplay loop of the game and the richness of the compositions give it a unique sophistication
compared to soundtracks in the series.
That doesn't mean it's my absolute favorite, but I should note that it's the only soundtrack
I spent $80 on to buy the original Collector's Edition OST for.
Maybe if enough people tweet at me I'll post photos of what it looks like on there!

What is your "forever game"?
Meaning, if you were stuck on a deserted island with only one game you could play forever,
what would it be?
Persona 4 Golden.
I didn't even hesitate when I was thinking of the answer.
Sure, it doesn't have the variety of gameplay that the Yakuza series has, nor does not have
the improved systems that Persona 5 has, but Persona 4 Golden's character development
is why I love video games to begin with.
Being able to really hone in on a character's motivations, even if we have little control
over the dialogue options, and really get to know each character is why I'll always
go back to Persona 4 Golden as my go-to game.
And I just love the kinds of Persona combinations you can have here too.
I think the small town setting helps with it as well, as you're able to be intimately
familiar with almost every NPC in the world.
To me, the game just feels like the devs knew exactly how to execute everything properly,
and it'll take a really good game to unseat this in this category.
This next question is going to be pretty long, but I think it's worth asking.

With every game having leveling systems these days, do you think that we should continue
labeling games as RPG's?
Looking at the core mechanisms of a couple of games, Final Fantasy focuses on picking
choices from a menu but Tales focuses on building combos.
Therefore it could be argued that on the surface, Final Fantasy is technically a strategy game
and Tales is a beat em up.
However, both games have leveling systems and character management which have led us
to call them RPG's.
But as these features become the norm for most genres should we start treating them
as completely different genres of games?
Or do you think the label of RPG means more than just character management/stats?
Or do you consider the weight of the character management when you decide what to label the
game as a genre?
The answer to this question can be its own video entirely, so I'll try to answer your
questions as succinctly as possible.
Media, in general, can have multiple genres.
Scary Movie is a comedy/horror movie, for example.
So why should games be any different?
I define RPGs by what the original creators of the genre - Lord British, et al - saw it
as: the digitization of pen and paper RPGs, which includes a rich skill progression system
that contains but is not exclusive to experience points and leveling.
I say not exclusive, because - for example - while Final Fantasy X is considered a RPG,
it completely throws away leveling and experience points and offers an alternative to that system
that contains a myriad of choices for how your characters' skills can grow.
By this definition however, the multiplayer aspect of the Call of Duty games is considered
RPG-lite because it has the basic building blocks of a progression system, but is not
deep enough to warrant calling it as such.
The leveling system is more of a skill based "experience" system in the literal sense
of the word.
On a different spectrum, a game like Far Cry 5 - with its experience and progression systems,
makes it a RPG/FPS hybrid.
So the short of it is, "Yes, but not mutually exclusive to one genre," "No," "No,"
and "Yes."

Have you ever tried any of the Falcom games and if you did, which to you are the best
games in that specific series and what do you like in it the most?
After been told that I wouldn't enjoy Falcom games over the past decade or so, I've only
just recently started diving into their game library.
That said, I did enjoy what little I've played of Trails of Cold Steel and I am interested
enough to give Ys VIII a fair shake.
But I'm really super interested in going back and playing the Trails in the Sky series
on the PSP/Vita.
I'm looking for a sale on these games, so if you see any, please tweet at me on Twitter!
Thanks to everyone who posted a question last week and thank YOU for supporting Backlog
Battle in every shape way or form you're able!
Remember to check every commenter's channels - you'll never know if they make videos
or not!
This week's question originated from a struggle I had over the weekend.
I was trying to install the Tera Open Beta on my PS4 and realized that I had run out
of space.
So I went into my memory manager and had to choose games to uninstall to make way for
this game.
With the nature of games requiring installation these days, this kinda got me thinking:
What would be the last game you'd uninstall?
I've never given much thought to this question until this past weekend, but I immediately
thought of the games that I intended on coming back to later, or games that I intend to start.
Are you guys the same way?
What would be the last game you'd uninstall?
Unlike previous weeks, I'm going to select my favorite answer from the comments and read
and answer them moving forward, so the more details, the better!
While you think and articulate your answers, I'll talk about mine:
If you thought Final Fantasy XIV, you're sadly mistaken.
I've actually uninstalled the game 5 times over the past year already due to a deadly
bug that corrupts the saved data of the game.
No, the distinction actually goes to a game that has never left my PS4 since its release
in 2015.
I'm talking about Bloodborne.
Surprised?
Bloodborne is one of my favorite games on the PS4, even though I've yet to advance
significantly through it.
Why is it my favorite?
Look at the atmosphere, man!
The more offense oriented combat system reminds me a lot of Castlevania and the ambience just
screams that game.
I often come back to Bloodborne every single year, attempting to defeat either the Cleric
Beast or Father Gascoigne, but failing each time.
I could just sit down and try to really beat them, but I feel like I'm slowly understanding
the game's gameplay every single time I come back.
It's a weird ritual that I perform just for this game, but I haven't given up on
the game yet.
And now that the game's a free PSPlus game, I have more incentive to try even harder to
beat those two.
Or one of them.
I'm not trying to be an overachiever here!
And that's my pick for the last game I'd uninstall.
What's yours?
Post your replies on the comments below and I'll pick my favorite one for next week's
episode!
Make sure you don't just tell me your game of choice, but also tell me why it's your
game of choice so that I'll select and read it on next week's episode!
Community Question releases every Monday at 8am Pacific Time.
Thanks for playing and have a great gaming week!
