Yeah, I believe Red XIII saying that actually made it interesting. He really is the character who would spout such a reflection, so it works. That's the kind of "content" that "defying Destiny" can really get it's hands dirty. More of that wouldnt be so bad.

I dont think this justifies enough. There is a great quote that goes "you can pull off great visuals anywhere if the art direction is strong enough" and I think that's what CC's problem is. They tried to push too far into the 3D rendering capabilities of the PSP, and because of that, what they...

I would very much read the whole article about these comparisons Ody.

I think this is exactly the kind of route they could, and imo should, take in Part 2. Midgar is the more narrative driven Part, and subsequent installments open up in gameplay and such, even if still reigned in by the narrative. Similar to FFXV and it's own customizable options.

Ody perfectly encaptured it for me. He's like the ending of FFVIIR, except he shows up the whole freaking game. I have huge gripes with Crisis Core, technically wise and also story wise. Specially story wise. And I'm also glad Tabata isnt in the Remake. Maybe that's why I'm not so mad with...

I dont think its going to be GOTY. It's not even a question of quality really. FFVIIR is definitely a good game, even if people dont like the ending. But, there are more games with a much bigger reach. And I dont think all of them are gonna suck. I dont even think TLoU2 gonna suck either.

That was pretty much my reaction to them as well lmao Yup, definitely cant argue with their ballsyness.

I think I just wanted the ending to be better executed. They got something right: I am throughly and completely discussing every single thing, and working out all my predictions and stuff. And that's what they wanted. For oldcomers and newcomers. Except, there is a bad taste in it. And it's the...

I dont think there was an undermining. It was very clear since Chapter 1 that Avalanche was not in control at all.

It has some good points, but I dont agree with it 100%. The Whispers are more inconsistent than just "they suck at the ending", and his argument as to why doesnt make sense. Even if they were shown as being helpers in some cases, that doesnt "unjustify" the final battle. We dont fully know about...

Hey there are only like...100 pages for you to catch up

Ah..I see you are a man of culture as well. Shademp never misses. But yeah, I fully expect Cosmo Canyon to be a massive lore dump in our heads, everything from Avalanche's formations to Sephiroth and Jenova. And also a Red XIII focused segment.

I dont really get that. The Whispers are part of the derail. They didnt come as an afterthought to "explain" the changes. They were created for a purpose, probably multiple. And those purposes inadvertently change the story. If it werent the Whispers, it would have been something else. I kinda...

Death Stranding was really the game that hit for me that Kojima isnt a god at all. I'm still trying to find sense in that story, and his comments about how "his games are too artistic" didnt help anything at all.

I think it's the opposite for me. The metanarrative that the Whispers seemingly bring are the only good thing about them in my opinion. That's why for me the last chapter was only interesting when it blew my mind showing "AC" scenes, bc it was completely unexpected and bold. Everything else...

It's funny, because to me, the Midgar portion of the OG has amazing pacing. It is a short burst of a very narrative driven action. Things start to go haywire inside Shinra HQ, when a lot of plot points are introduced, and then it becomes very inconsistent. Kinda like how Remake is from the start...

But that's the thing. If he is meant to take most credit, we will put the good and the bad in a balance, and it turns out that the game has quantitatively more good than bad, therefore, he did more right stuff than wrong stuff. Everybody's criticism of him should be "hey you did a good job, but...

Oh no, there are absolutely time shenanigans in there. But the possibility that there are actual time travels from after the Original 7 is well....still just a possibility. Specially since the Remake's depiction of the Original already differs from said Original even without the Whispers/Seph...

Sidequests are usually inside the breathers the game gives, and the questionable narratives the story brings atleast have a bit of sense inside the overall plot (even though they sometimes suck, sorry Leslie). It would take some hoops to put in a Turks scenario that wasnt in one of those...

I'm usually very enthralled by unused scenarios in gaming, simply because every game has tons of them. Other M and the baby mind blender, Wind Waker's plenty of islands concepts (problematic development once again strikes), Outbreak and the Super Tyrant. I do gotta question how they would...
