What are some things in video games that you love?

>Boss rush mode

>You're the hero's subordinate

>World map music changes when the hero mans up
>Plot points have relevance in battles (Dagger losing her voice, immortals in Lost Odyssey)
>Previous MC comes back in sequel and shows the new MC what a real hero looks like

Man, you'd love Lunar/Lunar 2 on PSX.

I do.

>That second world map theme in Lunar 1 when he becomes a dragon master

Pretty sure breath of fire 3 music changes when Ryu gets older.

Also fishing and combat arenas make any game better. Seriously.

>Beating the game unlocks a new character to play through as

>There will never be a Castlevania game where you play as Julius in his prime during the battle of 1999

Some small random things I can think of:

>You reload a revolver bullet by bullet rather than using a speed loader
>The small underdog vs god trope
>A Music/Sound test menu
>The MC is just a normal dude with no special powers or tragic backstory
>Debuffs work on all bosses

>final boss battle's theme includes parts of the main theme

>Having to return to the becoming area of the game at the end, now being super powerful

>Go behind a waterfall, there's a cave

>Sequel final boss theme is a remix of the first game final boss theme

>you fight every previous boss again in order to reach the final boss
Based Shovel Knight

>there will never be a Castelvania game

>good escort missions

>Final boss hits 0 hp
>Won't die
>Starts killing your party members
>You can still lose if you don't survive their dialog

>attack animations/sound effects/background events sync up with music

I wish another game had this fighting system so bad

Example?

Kill yourself

>said character's animations look terribly half-assed compared to the main one

The only reason I'm not playing that mode tbqh. If they even add that streaming-purple afterimage thingy that Soma has it would be playable, but nope

That is one fuzzy kitty holy shit

In a World vs World, participating in a great battle in which the issue is uncertain.

>Mfw in the Lord's room in Stonemist's Castle in GW2...

Subtle fourth-wall breaking twists.

>Baten Kaitos
