I finished reading the Famitsu interview that the except about "but that doesn't mean that stuff added to the main story of FES won't be in Reload" comes from, and the aforementioned part is unfortunately the most interesting and noteworthy part of the interview. The rest is seriously shit like...

No, I do not mean "a group of enthusiastic players constantly praising his work". Like, cult is the word choice used by the person who Lulcielid linked, but eh sure let's roll with it. When I hear "...cult formed around Yoshi-P...", I think of the people who got really attached to Yoshi-P (and...

By saying that players "know" Yoshi-P brings results and is charismatic, you are implying that his cult is "earned" or "justified" in some way. I don't think you should form cults around these business figures who you don't know, period, whether it's Yoshi-P or Takashi Kiryu.

"Form a cult around him like they did with Yoshi-P" is a very good sentence.

I don't have anything intelligent to say besides "Elena".

Nojima tweeted about finding out that ship/shipping = like Japanese coupling (CP). I'm sure this tweet will have completely sane replies by FF7 fans if I check back in 12 hours.

Realistic depiction of how many rings Yoshi-P wears.

I read the interview that this video is citing... I thought I was taking crazy pills when he talked about "being insulted when the game asks you if you want to retry with easy mode" cause right now in FF14 -- the game that Yoshida is the producer of -- if you fail a single player story instance...

Yeah. However, Square-Enix had already released NFTs before the tax incentive policy was announced. 2020: Takashi Kiryu joins s-e 2021: S-E releases Million Arthur NFTs Jan 2022: Kiryu gives an interview about using the blockchain to develop new IPs (https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/576361)...

https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/576361 Here's a Japanese interview where Takashi Kiryu talks about using NFT and blockchain technology to develop new IPs at Square-Enix. The IP he's talking about in the interview is Million Arthur.

From my understanding: Per the Nico Nico dictionary (which I've found is pretty reliable in documenting JP internet things), Japanese devs like Yoshi-P who are in-the-know about the west are not weary of the term "JRPG" because of the term itself, but rather the baggage that comes with the term...

The UI is... yikes. Hope you can turn flying text off, or disable the completely unnecessary "flash of cropped black text that shakes before going into position" animation.

I got the Buster Sword ruler set. It is very silly.

I saw that Aerith and thought it was quite cute, but the $75 price made me wish that Square-Enix had licensed Nendoroids with Good Smile instead. :|

After having not touched it since the vanilla version some 13 years ago, and my memories of it being confused w/the voice acted hiimdaisy comics, I replayed Persona 4 with the Golden version and slowly lost my fucking mind for 65 hours. I trucked onwards towards the "Golden" ending being fueled...

It arrived :monster: The items in the Shinra boxes are the jewelry that you could get customized w/gemstones laid on the inner band as linked "materia":

People thought Stranger of Paradise was "intentionally ironic" at first, and that the devs were "in on the joke". I remember some tweet that got a ton of retweets about how westerners shouldn't "infantilize Japanese devs - they know Stranger of Paradise is 'cringe', Jack is funny on purpose"...

I got one too but mine hasn't arrived from Japan yet. Waiting on something else to arrive at my mailbox before I ship it.

Not necessarily Remake, but Square is releasing FF7 compilation mouse mats. But of course, it's FF7 upcharge, so they're 3300 yen lol (like $25 usd). They are fairly big, though. I use the Midgar mat they released last year.

Hmm what did I play this year - 1100 hours of Lost Ark - 200?? hours of FFXIV - Unpacking - Needy Streamer Overload - Wild ARMs 2: Replayed in Japanese after 20+ years lol - Stranger of Paradise: Or rather, I watched 3 streamers beat the game while waiting for my CE to ship and then when my...
