Garland BT+ is *really* fun. Having his awesome BT effect twice in a fight makes for very fun crazy damage out of the rest of the team. And more consistent delay out of him is always fun.

I'd certainly say that by the era of the Compilation, Sephiroth was no longer seen as the "first" SOLDIER. Mako *had* been around as a a known substance for quite a few decades by the time he was born and I have a *really* hard time not seeing someone in the Science Deparment playing around with...

DG was a thing ever since Genesis was born... which was slightly before Sephiroth was born. So DG is *definetly* a thing by this point. We even have Rosso and Nero's birth years and both of them were born in DG. If anything... I"m more concerned with with being tied into DG somehow on the...

@Makoeyes987 I keep hoping that there *will* be a DG Solider skin just for kicks for that exact reason.

No PC version until 2023 makes total sense. Heck, early 2023 could even make sense for the console release technically speaking. That would still be a far shorter media coverage time than nearly all modern new FF games. Yoshida has said that FFXVI would only need one more big trailer for it's...

It is an amazing experience. It's like... playing a painting that moves. The OST is one of the best game OSTs out of the West in ages.

I have *never* seen 意志 (ishi) related to Jenova in any lore book entry I've looked at... or about any of the Clones related to her. 意思 (ishi) turns up fairly often, particularly when it comes to Jenova's (or Angeal or Genesis) "intentions" influencing the "intentions" of their clones. So...

The 2nd Season of this released! What a nice thing to find on Netflix the week of Halloween!

@Ryeleigh Jenova is... similar... only... Jenova doesn't have to "consume" *anything* to mimic it. She can just pick out what she is mimicking from someone's head so long as they're in the same vicinity of her... which is considerably large since her body doesn't have to stay in one piece. It...

The Lifestream is made of "spiritual energy"... which really is... well... think of it as the hard-drive for the Planet's Memories. All the memories of everything that has lived (and as of Remake, will live?) are stored on there after they die. Jenova/Sephiroth is described as "eroding" it after...

The Planet itself is presented as being fine 500 years later. It's not at a "natural" end of its lifespan anymore than person in their twenties whose cancer that was in remission flared up, has a bunch of bleeding wounds and and who just got hit by a car is not at the end of their natural...

The word used for "drive" and in *many* other situations to do with Jenova is 意思. It has the sense of "intention/wish/purpose", if more of those being feelings than something that is decided on. So it's something like... "It [Jenova] has an instinctive intention to destroy the Planet" This is...

FF8 as the FF version of Yu-Gi-Oh! works... surprisingly well...

That's how I played FF8 the first time through. If you have a head for Triple Triad, it's a lot of fun.

The FFXIV community is eyeing when Sakaguchi gets to Shadowbringers with *much* anticipation. Several FFXIV fans have noted how this has now come full circle. A lot of the FFXIV devs grew up playing Sakaguhi's FF games and that inspired them to go into game development in the first place. And...
