@Jitensha well, 5 is on steam these days. I’d be willing to give tips on twitter DMs or somewhere if you’d like.

@Jitensha I’ve also played loads of the games. The only ones I haven’t touched are 2, 4, 11 and 13. My favorites are 5 and 12 (zodiac age edition), where there’s loads of classes and you can even duel class to make unique builds (which combined with gw2 really shows off my interests as a gamer).

to be clear, I don’t say this in the vein of “one is better than the other”. Both systems have benefits. Its just a matter of personal preference, in terms of what you find fun about MMOs.

@Jitensha ok, fair enough.
I think I was more drawn to this game because classes are a lot more free-form. You can choose what weapons to use, and they give you different attacks with different properties. Then you choose your class skills and passive effects and lots of other stuff. Its one area FF14 is pretty weak in, since the classes are pretty rigid for the sake of making them smoother to play.

Oh! Just realized I should show pics for the races. Here’s the smallest race, Asura, next to the biggest race, Norn.

One of the Fractals of the Mists levels, Cliffside Fractal, has you freeing a colossus from a group of cultists.

@Jitensha well the good news is the game doesn’t need a subscription to play. So if you wanted you could play both, without it costing you an arm and a leg

There are two “novelty” tonics which permanently make your character twice as large or twice as small. This is based on your character’s base height. So Norn who take the growth one become freaking MASSIVE

There’s an area event where scientist students shrink themselves. You need to shrink yourself as well, then save them from the mosquitoes attacking them.

The Warrior class has an elite ability, “Rampage”, which causes your character to enlarge about 50% bigger, then get various angry smashing attacks. It’s basically turning into The Hulk.

One of the playable races, Norn, look like massive hulking vikings, standing over 9 ft tall!

One of the engineer class abilities, “Elixir S”, has you drink a shrink potion that shrinks you small enough to evade attacks.

So I’ve been playing GW2 lately, and I’ve been amazed by how much stuff in the game involves growing/shrinking. I thought I’d make a little thread of various examples throughout the game.

New Atom Smasher story came out for the Black Adam movie. It’s got some… Interesting… panel art.
