Many videogame releases feature mini-games as a distraction, or as has come to pass in more games recently, an intentional and cleverly positioned change in pace from the core gameplay. Final Fantasy is a series that has earned note for the former, with every instalment in the main bloodline having featured at least one mini-game of some sort, and the likes of Mass Effect and Heavy Rain have used them as devices to chart progress or punctuate tense moments. Either inclusion can offer respite for a weary player, but key to successful implementation is the reward that players receive. Some arbitrary note or statistic is all well and good, but when they lead onto further exploration and adventure, it’s clear that the developers have thought carefully about their placement.
With hundreds of games, some of which are considered to be classics that hold up to this day, you’ve got the pick of the litter when it comes to choosing a potential remake
^This. THIS!
Stop remaking PS4 games!
Remake PS1 and PS2 games à la FF7R, RE1, Mafia, Half Life style ....
Make Legend of Dragoon, Legacy of Kain etc Remakes happen
and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. They did Star Ocean 1 & 2 R already, VPL should get the same treatment.
I'd be down for FF8, and Xenogears. But I would also be down for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. And I wish Namco would get off their ass and remake or remaster the Xenosaga trilogy.

BLG writes, "There are many fantastic and iconic weapons in game history, but some are significantly more memorable than others. When we think of iconic game weapons, these are the top 20 that come to mind."
You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.
Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.
^^
god of war!!
Triple Triad was my fave game in a game eva, i must of spent more time on that than i did playing the actual game that game was proper addictive!!
Good times hope they bring it back in some form in the future , id be happy with a psn/xbla game that links with the next ff.
The Yakuza series the king of the mini-game though. There are tons upon tons in those games. It's what made getting the platinum for 3 such a bitch.
Anything that isnt killing, stabbing, punching, hitting, stomping, murdering, slaping, whacking, biting, ripping, and explosion-ing is a distraction.
