May 2012 Media Thread

RobertLumley

This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. I find that reading the sequences makes me less likely to enjoy some entertainment media that is otherwise quite popular, and finding media recommended by LWers is a good way to mitigate this. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing! To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.

Rules:

Please avoid downvoting recommendations just because you don't personally like the recommended material; remember that liking is a two-place word. If you can point out a specific flaw in a person's recommendation, consider posting a comment to that effect.
If you want to post something that (you know) has been recommended before, but have another recommendation to add, please link to the original, so that the reader has both recommendations.
Please use the comment trees for genres, which I was apparently too dumb to do.

I'm impressed by anything in video games or movies that isn't caveman sci-fi.

Did you play Final Fantasy X?

Once upon a time, in the era of the Playstation, Squaresoft made three great, although very different, games. I think I'm not alone in feeling none of their games before or since measured up to these three. (It's a cherished sentiment of my childhood.)

Xenogears. Vagrant Story. Final Fantasy VII.

FF-VI is often mentioned in this company as well.

As for FF-X, it's certainly a big improvement over VIII or even IX, but I don't think it's that great. Recommending the genre/series to someone who expects modern graphics, the Great Three are indeed problematic(*) - ... (read more)

yes, but I can't stand jRPGs. I never finished it.
