I've finally finished playing Wild ARMs 2 in Japanese. I played the English release of the PS1 game back when it first came out, and even as a teenager w/o knowing any other languages at all I could tell that the writing was really, really bad. Though thanks to the music and (what I could...

Nomura isn't credited in the book the storyboards were shown in, but you can tell it's him because one of the storyboards very specifically shows the cover of "My Way" on Jack's music player lol

I've finally killed the Super Pope and the Knights of the Round. And my lalafell is now Gilgamesh from F/SN.

Tbh, I am confused about how the S-E NA store is handling the new jewelry. I don't want to order stuff from the Japanese store unless I really have to cause of the shipping prices + if something goes wrong I am super fucked, but the NA store is just funny for these, as I assume their store can't...

To be fair, if the ending of part 3 is Roche driving his bike and crashing into Sephiroth and then both of them sinking into the lifestream while Roche gives a thumbs up a la Terminator 2, then I would buy this figure.

Lmao it's not even just Roche. There's another $400 PAK for a mook with a bike, and a $150 PAK of just a mook alone! I guess you're still intended to buy all of these $150 - $400 figures (along w/Cloud on his bike) and actually p-play with them? Meanwhile, I discovered that the North American...

I choose to believe that I'm a statistic on some Square-Enix merchandising person's Excel sheet because I otherwise have no idea why they would continue to make products like this. :desu: You can also select 2 "materia" / gemstones to embed, but the embed is inside the band instead of outside.

Nice, a fellow Chaos of Paradise Collectors Edition owner! :headbang:

10min video w/some info coming on Friday June 17th (JST). Presumably said info is related to the 25th anni celebration. Or maybe it's just showing off the cafe food. :mon: Edit: Oh... if you google translate this and get confused by the first bit, it's just talking about the weather in Tokyo...

Hoooooonestly, considering how traces of Buddhist principles can be found all over East Asian media (including other FF games), I would be surprised if Remake was not a "time loop as an allusion to Samsara" story. Maybe Sephiroth achieves Nirvana at the end of Remake? :mon: I too am expecting a...

To me, Yakuza and Judgment are "walking around Japan" simulators and interactive jdramas where your 60 hour save file is 50 hours of mini games, so the swap to turn based didn't really bother me much? But I think there's a couple other factors in my case: - I played turn based jrpgs on a SNES...

We're talking about the ui specifically, not that the trailer in general. A flashy cutscene plays once in a game. A flashy ui is present in every battle through the entire game.

We're gonna kill the other Dominants in order for Clive to use their powers. Then we're going to use everyone's powers to punch God in the dick and ~*~ Defy Fate ~*~ so people can go back to the other religious jrpg theme of everyone fulfilling their karma while suffering through the hell of...

Yeah I think it works more like the break gauge in Stranger of Paradise? Where the enemy starts with [x] gauge and you whittle it down. I thought the vertical lines represented phase changes or something, but after re-watching the trailer it seems they're just visuals to communicate "this is...

There's also the Odin gauge that pops up and starts building when Clive uses the alt skills on triangle and square: I'm guessing it's related to the orange yellow gatorade gauge being full at 3 (when he uses the alt Garuda skills, there's no Garuda meter that pops up, but he also isn't at 3...

I brought up Kazuya Takahashi because: 1) My remark was about the character designs, and he is the actual character designer. 2) You brought up "it isn't the FF14 aesthetic, it's the Ivalice aesthetic". But Takahashi's work is, as I mentioned, sometimes mistaken for the work of Yoshida (one of...

My remark was that the characters look like they were designed in the FF14 character creator, not that the aesthetic is FF14. As in, you could open up the FF14 character creator and make a few of these characters right now without using FF14 mods. There is a joke on Twitter right now that the...

I feel pretty meh about this, but I'll still play it because it's a main numbered FF game. The story presented in the 2 trailers doesn't really grab my attention, the characters nor their designs really stick out. Many of them look like they were designed in FF14's character creator lol. I've...

Someone on Reddit has been translating stuff already! https://sopffo.blogspot.com/

I gave a half-efforted read through the interview / Q+A parts. The big standout answer to me was when they explained that Station 19 (and thus also, SoP taking place on the 19th cycle) was because there had been 19 releases of FF1 (in Japan). :hohum:A-ha. There are also things like maps for the...
