What games would you like to see Rebooted/Remastered/updated?

You might want to go back and play them, they were extremely trial and error in the Atari, NES, and SNES age, it was still prevalent in the PSX age but started to stop, Mario, Kirby, and DKC are indisputably platformers, they aren't meant to be excessively challenging, or strategic, very straightforward, though they still, besides Kirby, were unlikely to be beaten without dying a few time times, because you needed to memorize enemy placements and platform distances. Do you think anyone made the one block in the middle of two holes jump the first time in Mario 1? How about that fucking horrid mine cart track in DKC, do you think anyone passed that the first time? In Metroid, it's much more about exploration than trial and error, or strategy, but it is a very top tier game, another arguably best game ever made the candidate, but I don't know many people who beat the first miniboss without dying at least once, same goes for the second, Kraid is largely obscured from view due to his size, so it' nearly inevitable to avoid being hit unexpectedly your first time. How about the games you didn't mention, Ninja Gaiden, if you can claim that game isn't purely trial and error, you're a liar, Castlevania 1 is to a lower degree the same, there are completely unavoidable deaths in both games if you don't already know they are coming, those are the action games of that time. Same for literally every single shoot em up game that has ever been made, you have to know where they are coming from to succeed, it was an easy tactic to lengthen games, and it was the only thing they could generally think of to make the games harder. FF6, and games like it, are a vastly better bang for your buck, you'll play them vastly longer, and a far greater amount of effort was put into them to create the world. Castlevania 1 can be beaten in under an hour easily once you know what to do, not sure on NG, but I wouldn't be on it being much higher if not lower. If you want to talk about RPGs that are just dps, I'd say FF1, it was pretty lower strategy within game at least. People play it with a ton of strategy now, but that's using knowledge of the code, not the in game mechanics, manipulating the way enemies level to your level and such.

Everything in life is slightly random, at least from a human perspective, ever shot a gun? I have, if you hit the exact spot you're aiming at, it's a miracle, small deviations in the air cause the bullet to never go perfectly where it's supposed to go, modern FPS games simulate this with, holy shit, random numbers, and those numbers get bigger as your gun recoil increases while you fire continuously, and when you aim from the hip, because you aren't as accurate, they make a bigger area for where you are aiming that is used to show where the random numbers will pick where it can shoot. Random elements are part of life and all games, besides puzzle games... they tend to be free of randomness, outside of multiplayer at least. Is that what you are into, puzzle games?

RPGs are like chess with further complexity, you are choosing the right moves at the right time, and if you do well you win, simple as that. It's not trial and error, you have the tools you win, if you fail, it's your fault, not the devs.

Just admit you were being extremely hyperbolic and that FF6 is not the worst SNES game, and that it's just not your type of game, that's the obvious sane thing to do, rather than just saying things that just don't suit the argument you are trying to make.

That's just a lie for FF6, some much older and bad RPGs you'd be right, but FF6 is very straight forward in its mechanics. Items have solid descriptions, enemies tend to be color-coded to their elements even if you can't scan for some reason, and grinding isn't required at all in FF6

Earthbound, is the only one of those games that doesn't require grinding, it's designed very well, using sound strategy you can beat it without every once grinding, they even specifically try to deter you from grinding by making enemies worthless to kill and instant battle ends when you get just above the level of the area. FF1 and DQ are insanely grindy, and both are pretty much what you describe FF6 to be, DPS, there's little you can do if you don't know exactly what to do in both those games, they were very early, and are bad by later game standards. Pokemon is only grindy in the first two gens, after that they are cakewalks, I've played all of them but Moon, by ten-year-olds beat them easily, so if you're failing at the strategy in those, you might want to learn some strategy from somewhere. You can always leave in Pokemon, dying takes you to a Pokemon center, you can always leave in Earthbound, dying takes you to the nearest Hotel, you can always leave in FF6 too, dying takes you back to your last save, WITH all the exp and spell points you gained since you died, presuming it's the SNES version, I know the PSX version doesn't do this due to it's terrible memory system, but the SNES version I know did this, I maxed out characters on one of my playthroughs with a save in Narche before the snail monster, then died intentionally and went back there with all spells and max level, you do lose your money though.

What do you mean tried to escape but failed, you've never tried to avoid something but failed? Bullies have arms if you try to run they'll grab you, how is that an odd thing to happen in a game?

Again, this game is not that hard, if you are getting killed because of one lost turn, you need better equipment. Also the game is filled with exploits to make it easier anyway, I didn't know about them til I was older, but you can vanish and doom anything in the game, you can also vanish and X zone whole groups, any undead enemy, including bosses, like the giant chest zombie late in the game, or the phantom train will die instantly when a phoenix down is used on it. If you're really that stuck on a boss, use that.
