For me, this is a sign that I need to start reeling in my expectations. I think there's still some wiggle room (especially in Zack's world), but yeah, not as much as I originally thought. Best to let whatever happens take me by surprise. Bit of a bummer to see that the storytellers aren't...

Ridiculously good and lengthy interview with Kitase and Hamaguchi on the team's creative goals. It's in Italian so hopefully you have Google Translate set up to automatically translate the whole page for you...

You got me there :monster: Shoot, being outed because I never played IX. I knew it'd catch up to me someday. Yeah, there are good bits. And it seems to be retaining players. I don't remember the last time the co-op matchmaking timed out on me for an event battle. Plus it just reached 7 million...

A few things to add to today's comments: The update notes for v1.2 mention that some of the data is for the upcoming FFVII chapter "Cloud's Memories". And EC has held events and chapter updates simultaneously, so I don't think it'll release after the IX collaboration. It could release anytime...

The best part about Ever Crisis is the avalanche of fanart that falls upon my Twitter feed each time a new costume is revealed. On the pace of story chapters: Odysseus just recently invented the scene choreography for some unused text in the original game. Very impressive, very cool stuff. I...

Can't help but laugh at the name they chose for Lucia's event weapon. Considering its ability, they could've gone with something like "Spitfire", "Magician's Hex", or literally anything else. Instead, they called it... (drumroll please...) "Vivi's Magical Gun"

I can see Vincent traveling with the party through Mt Nibel. Then, perhaps after seeing the makonoids at the reactor, he decides to break from the group and do some personal resonance on Hojo. That is his goal in the original afterall. As for Cid, hmmm, it's a bit tricky. Even in the original...

My biggest question with guest characters this time around is will they travel with the party? Perhaps Cid will stick around to pilot and guard the Tiny Bronco while everyone else adventures, explaining why he doesn't engage in combat. If so, what can they write for Vincent? Or will they write...

I gravely underestimated how long this would take me. Hard to believe I started about 6 weeks ago. I thought it'd only take me a month. My life is about to ramp up in complexity in the coming weeks. In fact, I'll be away from my PS5 for the entirety of December. Hoping to get through Chapter 14...

Chapter 13 - Failed Experiment I didn't expect this to take as long as it did. The actual boss was super easy to manage, the real issue was capturing clean footage of me dealing with the Unknown Entities. Their behavior is super sporadic and RNG dependent. Plus, with so many of them, the...

Chapter 12 - Reno & Rude Let me just get this out of my system... RENO AND RUDE DOUBLE KILL. AFTER FIVE+ HOURS OF ATTEMPTS. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST VIDEO IN THE SERIES!!!!!! Seriously, I can't believe how good this turned out to be. Some context: Having to manage two bosses, nimble ones...

Right. I certainly don't play Ever Crisis for the story, but I would like to see FS completed and BC someday. At this pace however, we won't see the either for quite a while. Here's my estimates. Note that in 2021, Nomura stated the OG would be "around 10 chapters." Title and number of...

Chapter 11 Part 2 - Eligor One critique: The Enemy Intel for Eligor states that casting rapid wind magic while it's airborne will increase its stagger gauge. In its second phase, Eligor casts Reflect on itself and the party, and begins flying around. So I thought "cool, maybe the Breach/Dispel...

Hey all, I'm back on my usual bullshit and making diagrams. Since the latest Rebirth trailer, Elmyra's line "The world is ending. At least, that's what they're saying" has stuck with me. That and the strange angelic rift in the sky that can just barely be seen before the trailer cuts away...

Chapter 11 Part 1 - Ghoul This battle took FOREVER to get clean footage. And it's not even an interesting fight! I found that it's more consistent to just hang back and wait for Ghoul to enter it's corporeal form, which it will always enter after a set amount of time. Then cast Fire to pressure...

Chapter 4 Part 2 - Enigmatic Spectre That's right, we're going back in time. I always forget that the Whispers are the last fight of Chapter 4, not Roche. When I first played it, I wasn't sure what to classify it as. But upon reflection I'm labeling it a "capstone fight", much like the...

Beyond the Sephiroth change, they refreshed a lot (all?) of the character's pre-battle portraits. Looks nice. And I think the "Rcmd. Party" feature sucks a little less now.

Comparison I saw on Twitter. Left = old, right = new. I have no strong opinions on this, just that maybe he's a bit too baby faced now haha.
