@scottalanmiller and Sony needs to come out with a true HD remake of FF7.
God I want that game remade.... I'll be your age @scottalanmiller before it comes out...
Sony didn't make the original. FF7 is from Square Enix (originally just Square.) HD remake is due out soon.

Square, sony meh..
I'm to tired to come up with the facts.

I almost never spend. I basically accumulate wealth in RPGs forever. I always feel like I'll need it somewhere. Never do.
so much this. Every time. "That'd be useful...but what if I need it for something else BETTER? Hmmmm....better save it..."

I'm not ashamed to admit that if Money is not important to game play, I will gladly skip most things that could make the game easier, etc.
I'm also not ashamed to admit that if the game requires a crap ton of grinding to get money for ridiculously priced items, I will use money cheats to speed things up. I'm not there to spend 50 hours grinding so I can get to the next bit of the story!

@dafyre Same, I hate long grind games in single player.

Not too bad. I've got the text turned up a bit. I have a Moto X Pure, so the screen is pretty big.

Just bought a Halloween themed hidden object game for the kids.

My Seafall preorder arrives today. I'm very psyched about playing the final version of this. Unfortunately it may take us some time to get an actual game in...

I had read about Risk Legacy in the past and I was wondering how this Legacy concept affects replayability.
If the game world is permanently modified by sealed cards, what happens once they are all opened? DO you just replay from that point from then on?
I love the concept of bringing campaign style change over time to a board game, jsut curious how well it actually works.
Never spent more than 10 minutes looking into the concept though.

There is effectively no replayability in a sense. You play through the campaign, and then you're done. There are options for playing it more, but most of the draw for me is in the Legacy mechanics. This might sound offputting, but consider that a typical campaign is about 15 plays. If you get anywhere near that many out of a non Legacy $60-$80 game you're getting very good value for your money.
In addition, the Legacy mechanics, the world changing, evolving, is what these games are all about. It feels wrong to write on your cards, destroy them, put stickers on the board, etc., but then you see the whole of what is revealed and it is something very cool. I've played through Risk Legacy twice (two groups), Pandemic Legacy, and helped playtest Seafall. Legacy isn't for everyone, but it is a great mechanic in my opinion.

I've been meaning to pick up Pandemic Legacy. Just sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Pandemic is one of my favorite games even if it generally just boils down to one person telling everyone else what to do.

I can easily accept 15 plays for the cost.
