The many ninja tools across the Tenchu series. What's your favorite?

This thread is mainly focused on Tenchu 1, 2, 3, and Fatal Shadows. I can't play my copy of Tenchu Z and I don't own Tenchu: Shadow Assassins yet so I'm unable to showcase the various items in those. That said, Tenchu is a ninja stealth series where the player usually controls either Rikimaru or Ayame. The goal is to reach the mission objective without getting seen and receiving rewards based on score/rank. These games have a multitude of ninja tools to assist in sneaking or taking out...

Should I play RE7 and Village

So I've been on a Resident Evil series binge having played 2 Remake, 3 Remake, 4 and Requiem. I'm debating if I should go back and play 7 and Village. My hesitancy comes from not being too interested in Ethan and the first person perspective which I tried in Requiem but didn't enjoy and switched to third but given 7 was a return to form that indicates good things

I like base building when I have almost no freedom. Any reccomendations? (Think Ni No Kuni II)

This is probably weird, because I feel most people like having more freedom, but once they tell me I can place furniture down myself and build materials chests etc, I nope out. It's just tedious to me. In NNK2 it was essentially a resource dump that got you upgrades and income and improved in visuals and whimsy as you upgraded it. It was really addicting for me and I want something like that again.

Remakes feel like a waste

I don't like them because they take time away from new games. I looked at the OOT footage and thought that the new artstyle didn't really fit the game. But it looked good by itself. Which just makes me upset. This could have been a new trad 3d zelda with new dungeons, puzzles, etc- they could have even taken some hints from the wild games with their physics puzzles and more puzzle oriented dungeon design!

Is it odd to anyone else how hard it is to play Zelda: four swords adventures?

I'm fortune enough to have copy (somewhere) and it's game I've yet to ever really try beyond when I was a kid, but I remember it being a pretty good game, but to the best of my knowledge it's only ever been released once? The original four swords game is also pretty scarce, it had a dsi promo timed release a couple times and that's basically it, I think it's a bit of a shame these titles have never once been rereleased, adventures is over twenty years old by now, and Zelda is a massive series.

So obviously with the OoT remake hype swirling right now, I got to thinking: Will Nintendo ever give child Link a full blown 3D open air experience? There is just something so charming about The Minish Cap, Windwaker, Majora's Mask and the child portion on OoT. I understand that it's not as edgy, but I think it would be interesting to revisit. We've went from Twilight Princess - Skyward Sword- Breath of the Wild - Tears of the Kingdom. So it's been 20 years of adult Link in 3D Zelda.

Never played Final Fantasy VII. Should I start with the original or Remake?

I've somehow never played Final Fantasy VII, and I'm finally thinking about jumping in. The big reason is that Final Fantasy VII Remake is only $10 on Switch 2 right now, which makes it really tempting to just start there. For someone with zero nostalgia or history with FFVII, would you recommend playing the original first, or is Remake a good starting point on its own?
