I've never actually played any Final Fantasy game yet. It'd be cool if Final Fantasy I-VI is still available for entry!

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hi there! Sorry, the contest is already over as of Aug 31st. I'm drawing winners now and just waiting to hear back from people as they trickle in their responses.

Keep an eye on the next one: I'm aiming to do another one somewhere around the upcoming Winter holiday. Cheers!

[–] GamerBoy705@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Okay, no problem. That was worth a shot

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I already own the games that I'm interested in, so no entry here, just wanted to say thanks for putting on this giveaway two years in a row and making the fediverse feel a little more fun.

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No prob! The fediverse is still a nascent platform, and even PCMR is a nascent community compared to the Reddit original. Plus I guess I'm not cool enough or creative enough to make frequent posts every day like The Picard Maneuver, but I try to comment at least once every other day.

Giveaways are always fun! At least I can do that periodically lol

Now I just need to find a game you might be interested in next time. :)

Best of luck everyone! Reply to this comment if you have questions.

Please continue to be kind to each other, and most importantly, be kind to yourself. It's easy to get so angry in today's divisive world. You can't change the world, but you can certainly help those closest to you.

Stay safe everyone!

Also here's the cute cat meme I made. I just like cats.

[–] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not entering, just wanna applaud you for doing this. I bought the TR I-III remaster in the summer sale and I will say I am pleased with it at the sale price. It plays pretty well on Steam Deck and scratches the nostalgia itch.

Nier Automata would be my pick. It's been on my wishlist for forever, but I never remember it during sales!

I would love if possible to get the code for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade.

It's verified to work with my Steam Deck.

This is super cool of you!

I would absolutely love the Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle, both for my own nostalgia and to introduce my wife to them. She's only played X and XIV.

To accompany my entry, have a homemade FF4 meme:

A winner is... me?! This is incredible!

Installing FF5 now because I love the early iteration of switchable classes, then I'll loop back around and play them in order. So I guess I have the next 300-400 hours planned.

Thank you again CatZoomies, you're my hero.

[–] WittyBits@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I would like to take my chances to win the FF I-VI collection. Should keep me entertained for a couple of hundreds of hours 😅

Super cool of you to do! I've definitely been curious to try Hogwarts Legacy.

Random fact I learned recently; dragonflies are statistically the most successful predatora on the planet with a 96% success rate. For comparison, a lion is about 27-34% successful while hunting.
