VI's new sprites definitely work best for me, and I appreciate the artistic merit in that approach for the older titles as well. This is not a knock on the approach for the PSP versions, mind you, it's just that this art direction feels a little more FF-like to me while the art direction on...

That's never going to happen in an initial playthrough -- and if it somehow does, kudos to the player who could pull it off. So no, I don't think if you're trashing Nightmare in "Soulcalibur" there should be an equivalent to the 20-point no-pressure rule in youth basketball. Incidentally...

Mako, your argument amounts to "Why did you take out student loans to get a university degree if you wanted to be able to afford rent and a car payment?" That's self-evidently absurd, and so is "Why did you bother to master the combat mechanics of an action game if you didn't want the game to...

These are fantastic improvements. I had accepted the Limit Break vulnerability as a deliberate, if annoying, choice in design philosophy, but the Synergy materia always seemed like it didn't work as intended to me. Now, if we can just get boss battle phase transitions delayed during Staggered...

Reposting from one of the chapter spoiler threads:

Well, they're an artifact from the time they were needed, and consolidating them would be more trouble than it's worth even if we agreed that spoiler tagging was no longer needed. Which raises the question: how long is it needed? Seems like one year from release used to be our modus operandi...

He was already showrunner during the Matt Smith era. He's had his time.

Chadley is the ultimate time cop.

Sorry if I misunderstood. The nuances of all our positions have gotten muddled once or twice (or six times, since this topic is such an ouroboros). Excellent question. I wish I knew enough to guess with confidence.

The remake is its own separate continuity from the outset, yeah (Nomura said that before the game was even released), but see, the reason I got incredulous with that explanation from Tets is that a version of AC was clearly meant to have happened in Remake's Beagle Timeline. We had the trio of...

But again, what is specifically actionable about that? What call to action beyond what they are already doing would it create for them? Even assuming she felt like sharing more specifics about her friend's death than "We broke into Scarlet's basement and she sicced her pet freaks on us. He...

How many groupings of enemy does Shin-Ra have that are "something distinct and notable"? A lot. But I'm doing the opposite of that? I'm saying she would have told someone -- when it became relevant as these familiar uniforms showed up shortly prior to Dirge. Up until then, what specifically...

If it makes you feel any better, I restrained myself yesterday from making this post: ---- Given Zack's character traits, they could have totally chosen to end the DLC with more of his Anime Bro humor (which his part of the scene already begins with). Maybe he opens the doors, finds the church...

What purposes? Jerking off into a pool of computer-gaming FF fans' tears?

It's been three weeks from the time that happened until the start of the game. Time in which they've been doing research, probably into Scarlet, and plausibly pointed in that direction by Yuffie. Also, Reeve is on the record that the WRO has been lying to the media ... Also also: is it...

No? The WRO has a response ready in minutes -- because they were already there. Reeve had told Vincent to meet him in Kalm. He wanted to discuss Deepground. Remember that 1200 people had been taken from Junon recently, and the WRO was keeping a lid on that number to keep panic down a little...

That's not what I remember from Dirge at all ... Reeve and the WRO command are well aware of the names, ranks, etc. of the Tsviets by the beginning of the game thanks to intel they've recently recovered that belonged to Scarlet. For all we know, they knew where to start digging when these...

This really shouldn't be as controversial an observation as it's being made out to be. =\ Nomura told us in an interview five years ago that one of the things they'd be doing with the remake is better connecting the Compilation to the framework of the original story ... =\ And even without...

The conversation in Aerith's old room at the beginning of Chapter 17.

How does citing the presence of Whispers from AC (a Compilation title) who are trying to protect their history help your suggestion that the Whispers are only concerned about non-Compilation events? :huh: And why would you isolate their area of concern to only the time period of the original...
