Not only that, but personally, the feeling of discovery is very important when I first play through a game. IMO that's a key aspects of the scenes that will give a "Wow!" moment.

One of the problems in this kind of question is that there's been little effort to get technological consistency throughout the compilation. The technology of the OG seemed contemporary with the time of release, and the same could be said of Crisis Core, which was released 10 years later but...

Sharapova got caught for doping at the Aussie Open. She had been using a drug called "meldonium" for years, and it went on the list of prohibited substances only in the beginning of this year. IMO, even though she seemed to take responsibility, her reasons for taking the drug in the first place...

One of my favorite bands, blending progressive metal with Arabic music: Myrath. They're from Tunisia... while they enjoy some popularity in Europe (I think they were doing the first part of Dreamtheater concerts last year), trying to get their albums from Canada has proven quite difficult...

Thanks for clarifying that, I had lumped together in my mind what I had read from the translations of the SNES-era FFs and what I had read from the FFVII translation. I knew the part about dubbing and the instruction of English language - I've spent a year with a Norwegian flatmate - I wasn't...

I can't remember the whole story about it (I'm pretty sure there's material about it out there, though), but as far as I recall the localization of FF VII was pretty much done by one guy who was given lines to translate with no context, and was constrained by the number of characters displayed...

And that's probably not considering how long it takes to breed several generations of chocobos :monster:

Hey Flint! I couldn't watch the game, didn't even manage to get a stream at work between experiments, I was only following "live comments" on a sports website. What about you? From what I gathered, it could have been a lot closer. Plisson in particular seemed to have had a bad day, offering a...

Just a little note so it's out there: IMO whenever Hojo is given screentime, even though he is presented as a scientist, he pretty much never behaves as such. While he stands as "the mad scientist", he sure checks the "mad" box, but falls short in the science department. He merely does a bunch...

Thanks Jason, it was a good read. You must have meant "Stories that call attention to the problems..." ? [/FONT]

That was pretty good. TTLdQhDEF8M

Hey Flint, how do you feel about the upcoming 6 nations games? Unfortunately, Wales-France isn't broadcasted at my place, and I'm not sure I could stream it while being at work (unless I got a big lunch break excuse) :S In any case, I'm looking forward to the games. Wales should come on top even...

Either that, or Final Fantasy VII-2: The Birth-Control Odyssey :monster:

I was thinking of having this scene revised, with Tifa sending Scarlet to the floor with a broken jaw after a single hit. Or it could be transformed into some sort of silly curb-stomp battle. And they you'd see Scarlet's swollen and bruised face in the next cutscene involving her.

I'd love that too. Actually, I'd be pretty happy if the mini-games (G-bike, snowboarding, Mog's house) would feature the same graphics as in the OG :D If they do update the technology in the remake so that it feels "contemporary", at least I would prefer if they show a less advanced tech during...

As a passing note: I very much agree regarding the technological inconsistencies between the OG and the Compilation - IMO it's even more blatant in Dirge of Cerberus than AC/C, they featured lots of technological gadgets because they looked cool without any regard to the level of technology...

Personally, I've not really been fond of the re-appearance of Sephiroth (or his remnants) in AC/C: the OG's ending should have been the definite end of him, so in my opinion AC/C should have been about something else. But: it's always difficult to build an interesting story if there's no...

While I agree with almost everything you said, hian, there's something I got to wonder: however much "we" (I mean, the good folks of TLS forums) have outlined inconsistencies in the Compilation, everybody's keen on putting the blame on Nomura, but I do wonder what part Nojima had in all of...

So, you gave Italy a thrashing, eh? From what I've read, it was a very close game for 50 minutes, and then you opened the floodgates. That's quite a common scenario in your games vs Italy, isn't it?
