This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I always hear of 8+9 as the black sheep of the classic Final Fantasy games. They were a big part of my childhood, though, so I love them both.
Never heard strong bad opinions about 9. Personally, might be my favorite, although has a very weak villain and ending.
I only remember 8 being the black sheep. 9 was hailed as a return to form, but yeah, 8 was my first and my favorite.
Nine was immediately vilified on launch. The world wasn't ready for the art style.
