They feel high IQ when you're like 7 because they can teach you how to read at a fairly advanced level, plus they teach you that god basically doesn't exist. But my brain has Atrophied from playing them and now I suck at Baldur's Gate 3.

BG3 is the real deal if you devote the time and energy to really get into it ime. What a triumph. So many different ways to approach your battles. The plot itself is a bit marvel movie for my tastes. But the Gameplay, my goodness the Gameplay.

I get into Battles and idk some of them are a massacre so I reload and try to talk my way out of it.

JRPGs are easy and gay and troon but the good ones are good at "simulating" difficulty, like the boss fucks your party up bad in one hit and you have to hurry up and heal - but you don't realize that he's basically in a Cooldown for the next turn. You don't die a million times but you "feel challenged," synthetically, in a controlled way. Japanese designers have a lot of Control over the experience ime.

who thought jrpg's were high IQ? Even when I was young I realized all you have to do is grind, there's no thought to beating them.

not high difficulty. but can be, if you don't grind like an autist.

just relatively "high IQ" in the sense that Scumbags who play Mortal Kombat for 5 minutes before committing assault and battery on each other can't make it past the first save point. and then you get into the liberal arts aspect.

btw Fantasian cannot be gamed by grinding and can be rather difficult, especially on the original difficulty.

Is _A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia_ the highest-IQ NES game?

Anything that's not straight up anime is at least a little americanized, or trying to sell to westerners.
