    Mako revisits Dissidia Final Fantasy 012 Duodecim

    I played the first two Dissidia games for the first time over the past two years and they were so much fun. I've beaten all of the story content and unlocked all characters in both games and Mastered them to Level 100. I really loved just creating my own friend cards based on each character...

    "Final Fantasy VII Lateral Biography: TURKS - The Kids Are Alright"

    So I've read the two Compilation novels now, and I have more to say on TKAA than OTWTAS - other than OTWTAS to me is now my new favorite Compilation title, lol, and my fav chapter from that is Case of Nanaki. As Ody said above, he needs everything he can get lol. It was great to have his...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    To be clear, I'm not mad if there turns out to be a canon pairing I just wanted to get my thoughts out about it.

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    It's moreso that I think that the emotional pivotal moments of the story can work regardless whether or not there are romantic feelings involved with either girl. I say a canon confirmation would weaken the story because that would narrow the interpretations of certain scenes down to only one...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    If there is ever made to be canon ships for the LTD, imo that would weaken the overall story and experience. That to me is why there are options for other characters to date. I say this because at the end of the day, it's a side quest. Who ends up with who isn't the main point of FFVII, and imo...

    Why come back to this game specifically?

    Well, there is certainly an attempt to keep being innovative from artists within the mainstream, but because gaming has become more and more of an industry, it's become more and more corporate, resulting in a lot more industry cookie-cutter sameness. But yea, I can overall see your point, and...

    Oh I'm not giving the person any free passes for that, but either way I hope they learned a hard valuable lesson from this and can move on in a more productive way.

    Toughest final bosses you have fought in the Final Fantasy franchise?

    OK but serious answer: I actually think that a fully levelled Chaos from the first two Dissidia games is probably the hardest for me. Harder than any mainline final bosses I've fought.

    Why come back to this game specifically?

    What I've noticed about FFVII compared to other games and other FF games that I think greatly contributed to its success and attention is that it was one of the first mainstream console RPGs that had settings and themes based on real world issues. Also the fact that the themes that its based on...

    AC/CC >> Remake Buster Sword Changes

    Just wait. Rebirth will reveal that both designs are actually correct bc one is from the Remake timeline while the other is from either the original timeline or the Zack timeline :desuawesomonster:

    some writing on FF7's real-world significance

    Yes, I didn't intend to come off as generalizing with that comment, it was just all I could think of. Though, when you brought up the amount of Japanese games that use elements of monotheistic religions for various commentaries, that is probably another likely connection as to why Jewish...

    some writing on FF7's real-world significance

    The only theory I have as to why there was a particular interest in Jewish mysticism is some kind of prolonged Japanese guilt about siding with the Nazis in WWII. Which led to an increase down the line in Japanese interest in Jewish concepts. I have no idea how accurate that actually is...

    some writing on FF7's real-world significance

    A very interesting writeup! I have some thoughts of my own on the topic. Multiple Japanese stories in media in the 90s used Kabbalah mysticism and symbols in their works. It is not at all unique to FFVII. It was a common theme in a lot of Japanese media of the time. Evangelion used it. The...

    SPOILERS Anyone Willing to Admit the Remake Was better then the Original?

    The Remake isn't even intending to replace the OG and that's been made clear by the devs and by how the Remake presents itself, so I'm not sure why we need to compare the two at all. I would argue though that OG is actually more grounded because the most abstract the OG gets is the power of...

    The theme of Final Fantasy VII

    Now if they really are doing a Master's Thesis, maybe this was just brought on by them having to vent out pent up stress? In which case I hope they can manage their stress and mental health well in those circumstances and clear their mind.

    The theme of Final Fantasy VII

    What gets me is that they claim to be doing a *master's thesis* on FFVII-O vs. FFVII-R, and yet they are arguing with someone who is just stating facts about FFVII-O's themes...
