    Final Fantasy XVI

    Wall MarketR was so much better handled than it had any right to be, in all fairness.

    Final Fantasy XVI

    Personally, I'm looking forward to how they handle the gay party members. Gonna start holding my breath. ^_^ :doh: :faint: I'm only semi-serious.

    Final Fantasy XVI

    My gut says they're just hidden for the sake of aesthetics and an incomplete UI. I didn't notice (on my single watch) anything that would preclude a VIIR-style ATB system, though. I wouldn't be surprised if they went that route as it seemed relatively popular. I'm actually more surprised this...

    Final Fantasy XVI

    This is starting to become a fucking endemic issue in fiction discourse lately, to the point that creating anything has become something of a thankless job. And I'm as lefty as they come, so I'm not ranting about SJWs ruining everything, here. I think the word "milquetoast" has popped up in this...

    Final Fantasy XVI

    I find something really fascinating in the way that Yoshida projects seem to be sort of descended of Ivalice. It's like FF is old enough to have children, essentially. I'm already feeling like this game will land a reaction not unlike XII's in its day, for just so obviously being the product of...

    The smell of mako

    At least in English, Sephiroth's line has a kind of weird amount of context implied even by a surface reading. Like, I always took these things from it without having ever really stopped to think about it before: -That mako has a smell, but not necessarily an inherently bad one -That Nibelheim's...

    The Final Fantasy XIV Thread [Dawntrail - 7.00]

    Y'know, all this talk of future expansions reminds me of the mind-blowing fact that FFXIV is already roughly as old as XI was when XIV released. It's a bit crazy to think that Square could, in theory, have released another FF MMO by now. I still think of XIV as being the new kid...

    The smell of mako

    I don't imagine the Lifestream or spirit energy itself to have much of a smell, but I could see the "mako smell" of reactor emissions being something like that really gross, stick-in-your-nose smell of burning plastic/electrical fires. The kind that makes you feel physically sick.

    It's been a while

    Bugenhagen didn't have a planetarium, just some Good Shit.

    It's been a while

    I don't know anything about this situation, but would like to note the, uh, coincidence of this guy popping up just as he was mentioned in the Jairus thread. What a crazy random happenstance.

    Beacause [VII Retranslation Project]

    Wow. Anyone who brags about their own "high intelligence" certainly lacks the emotional intelligence to not brag about how intelligent they are.

    FFVII Character Details, Easter Eggs, and General What-the-fuckery

    If Elvis were a Captain America-style supersoldier and pulled off at least one sick, Captain America-esque move with his iconic shield, sure! Combined with later testimony about what happened to Jenova's remains etc. they'd have a pretty solid reason to believe Sephiroth was genuinely involved...

    SPOILERS Avalanche Appreciation Thread

    This is, by far, my biggest problem with the Remake's changes. The Kingdom Heartsifying of the story is the big flashy problem that has drawn a lot of attention already, but this is the kind of thing that goes to the core of the original story. Even if you took everything involving the Whispers...

    SPOILERS Saying farewells to Jairus/Trying to make sense of it

    Like you, I'm new around here (past connection to ACF notwithstanding), so I made a solitary attempt to engage with him on that level, hoping an outsider's perspective might, at least, provoke some self-reflection. It's easy to write off the same old crowd as just having beef with you, after...

    My First MMO: Tet's Eorzean Adventures [FFXIV]

    If you think all that's impressive, me and my bro just took down Ifrit, and now we have chocobos. So p. sure we've completed the game. This game has a real obsession with fireworks. Living for the eerie rendition of Answers, though. Makes me want to stop whenever I pass through the event...

    Dragon's Dogma

    Not a single "wolves hunt in packs, Arisen!" What is even the point? :no: Trailer seems...fine? Faithful to the game, yeah, though does sort of confirm my feelings that Dragon's Dogma is a hard sell on the basis of its story alone. Also probably could've done without the grimdark, Doomed...

    Yeah, I wondered about this, too. You're minding your own business and then the entire Wild Hunt thunders past. :lol:
