Ok, so not having completed FFXV cos I just...well, I pretty much just hated it, but that's a story for another day...but in any case, I'm very curious about the cringey (I'm assuming dopily sexy) gas-pumping sequence referenced above. Is there somewhere I might be able to view that bit online...

Related, I know it will not re-appear (for such a thing would be rather out of place--left 'as is', anyway--in a modern game), but I feel I will strangely miss insecure Materia Shop Guy's little rivalry with the Inn and its vending machine, where he begs you to be a 'double agent' and stay in...

How it will be done, I am unsure, but I fully expect Wall Market's "Ghetto Fabulous'/Red Light District appeal to be thoroughly expanded upon. Its hustle-and-bustle was merely 'suggested' in the OG, so it's time to make that sheeeet come a LIIIIVEEEE!!!

I.e. Buster Sword overthink, seems like there's a large amount of 'This is a different game! It doesn't need to follow the rules established by [ ]....but it'd better follow this one! It has to!', whether that means the BS getting thrown by the wayside, remaining unremovable (and having that...

Everything looks pretty damn amazing: The trailer/cinematic moments did an excellent job of letting you play "spot that scene" while delivering them in this completely new context, which was probably the best method of displaying what was one of my (and I'm sure many others) biggest concerns in...

I agree completely, and you know what this made me think about? I've always considered that one of the factors (amongst many) to why FF7 is so beloved amongst its brethren, is that some of the individual 'party member moments', so to speak, end up being some of the most memorable/emotional...

I actually have learned to avoid looking up what the voice actors (especially of characters I love) look like. I find it...distressing somehow, haha. Years back I ended up stumbling upon this 'How We Make an Episode'-type video for the show "American Dad", and especially seeing the cast in the...

I'm rather fascinated by the whole (and for simplicity, I'm thinking of just the FF series),sFN "Yes, they resemble 'Earthlings', and yes, there are many similarities, in some cases architectural/etc references to locations on Earth...but despite all of that, they are NOT the Earth-based...

Yeah, but that's why I said modern. Modern.

I know this is from a few pages ago, but now I can't stop thinking of "Shinra Family as Archetypal English Villains" concept--like a vintage Alan Rickman, or, in more recent terms, one of the more deranged James Mcavoy/Michael Fassbender roles (I know they're Scottish/Irish, respectively, but...

You've really been getting pessimistic 'bout this lately, haven't you?? I get people's disappointment at the absence of voice actors they may have been attached to (and from what little I know about the situation surrounding the voice shakeup, its all pretty fucked up) BUT...allowing an apparent...

That's a good point, Tash (thinking of the RM in relation to XV, not so much in terms of actual gameplay/mechanics, but development and release). Hopefully, though, it'll be a descendant of the 'history' of XV in the sense that they learned from what went wrong there rather than repeating it...

Thanks for the reminder, Chip, I actually not only forgot about that, but mixed up the "doin' my boss in" with what Tseng himself actually says. So I guess...while still having a better translation, have Elena's scene stay 'ambiguous' as well? Actually, on the subject, the whole "tries to punch...

Especially when it becomes the "Sister Ray", with all them pulsating connectors and whatsits. When I got a lil older, I was bowled over by how many relatively obscure bands I loved had references in my favorite childhood video game (Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine, etc)

C-c-c-Cosmo Canyonnnnnn. Such great bloody atmosphere in the original...now, a lot of that I think is due to the lovingly pre-rendered art, BUT, I could see it being rather majestic in a modern depiction

Speaking of 'deaths you don't 100% confirm but were pretty damn strongly implied until AC', what's your guys thoughts on Tseng? If I recall correctly, there was some issue about the translation, the English is something like "I'm done for...", with the Japanese implying he was just badly...

I used to pick that one for giggles (esp playing these as a young'n, I used to always try to pick "what I would say) and then was repeatedly baffled why I didn't get as Pharmacy Coupon, so I'd end up having to eat at the diner like 6 times before I got it right, lol.

I agree. A little bit of suggestion, implication, a little tact, a bit of AHTIS-TA-REE goes a long way in creating a psychological effect on the player. I don't want Midgar to be something I can 'conquer'

I mean, the simple fact that the combat is action-based means, all by itself, that the Materia system will fundamentally be, from the ground floor on up, different from what we knew in the original. I mean, yes, the "ATB" in VII meant if you dawdled on a decision long enough, an enemy got a...

Geez man, yeah, I had always been under the impression almost all of it was him (FFX was the one that featured a 'recording journal' during production, wasn't it?? With long shenanigan-ridden asides, like taking his young nephew clothes shopping before the two of them end up hopelessly...
