Reading the whole "it makes more sense if they pronounce it how it's spelt" thing is really -_- for me. Never met a Sean? It's a real folkloric creature, the character is based on and named after it. It stands to reason it should inherit the pronunciation. Sure, they could do a Mortal Kombat...

I think I mostly agree with everyone here. There's absolutely nothing wrong in anything Yoshida said and his sentiment is understandable. His initial interaction with the term JRPG was as a distinction that appeared to look down on the RPGs made being made in Japan and so was soured to the term...

Yes, we do call them western role-playing games. No it's not racist. JRPGs are called that way because it refers to a style of RPG that originated in Japan.

Noooo... not the Medicine Seller. Mononoke was probably my first exposure to Sakurai. There hasn't actually been an announcement of him being recast in Jujutsu Kaisen. There's just speculation and maybe some insider information???(some random person on instagram said he will) He did get...

I also thought it was called Fulfilled Desire, but apparently it's another case of a fan name for the track. The official English title is Living Legacy. The Japanese track name (受け継がれる想い) actually means "Inherited [Desire/Thoughts/Feelings]" and isn't from dialogue. Also yeah, the Shinra theme...

Square Enix book translations always get delayed. Not sure I've ever seen an English FF book/manga come out at its original set date even before they were self-publishing.

Reno had one unvoiced line in the original. I thought this would be his first time with a new actor for the Japanese version, but they still credit only Keiji Fujiwara. They changed Reno's (and Rude's) line, so presumably they pulled it from some archive footage. Original: レノ：　一件落着だぞ、と。...

Best feature. You can switch in FFXV by... changing the game's language! Had to suffer through the distance switching between 1000 feet to some arbitrary fraction of a mile. Wouldn't have even been a problem had they just measured everything in points of a mile, rather than use two incompatible...

Jenova has that head-shaped box in Remake before Sephiroth decapitates her. Japan has stricter rules about dismemberment and decapitation, moreso in their video games ratings board (Edit: or maybe it's just Sony Japan?).

I mean, Pierre Taki's cocaine thing lost him Olaf and about a year of music sales, but he's back to getting roles and his band's back on sale and streaming. Tetsuya Komuro commit fraud to pay his ex-wife's alimony. After avoiding jail (because he's famous?) he went back to producing... for...

This... just seems like they didn't want to work with Taylor for whatever reason (whether they just fancied the popular Hale or just didn't want Taylor) and so made her an offer she couldn't not refuse. I don't play Bayonetta, but I was annoyed when I heard they replaced Taylor, as I am with...

I'm waiting for the entire trilogy to be out before playing it. I have an endless number of other games owned, wishlisted, or upcoming that I want to play. And waiting means I get games cheaper, or most of the time nowadays for free some month on PS Plus. Playing games back to back sounds...

Oh, that's convenient. I signed up to the thing to buy directly from Sony, and took the offer for £450 (+£6.98 postage) yesterday.

The game's logic is hard to grasp (not helped by translation), but Tifa tries to get Cloud to recall a "memory" (思い出) "locked deep within [his] heart", which surely couldn't be fake (unlike a "memory" (記憶) which can be mistaken or change). If Cloud by himself recalls a memory and then Tifa...

I don't know if the dialogue is "bad", but I do find it very cringe and am completely put off the game.

Jenova can steal other's memories, and that's what Sephiroth makes Cloud believe happened (that he is a nobody who was constructed from Tifa's memories) and why they have to find a memory only Cloud could have, however since Cloud is Cloud, he was present in Nibelheim, and knew a SOLDIER 1st who...

The whispers ensure Kadaj et al get to appear in Advent Children, so those spirit projection things you fight want to protect them. By defeating the whispers Kadaj et al still have the same potential to exist, it's just no longer guaranteed.

I thought I read that somewhere. but saw they answered the same question differently in another interview. I don't get that reasoning much, because they're out here releasing a Crisis Core remaster and emphasising its ties with Remake while it spoils the big reveal of FFVII.

The リバース / Rebirth / Reverse thing is how Bizarro Sephiroth got his English name. Rebirth Sephiroth > Reverse Sephiroth > Bizarro Sephiroth. It's why of the "re" candidates for Part 3, "Reverse" seems unlikely because it would confuse Japanese audiences. But with SE/Nomura you never know.

Kitase's definition of what makes a Final Fantasy game sure is something that wouldn't get me interested in a series. "Games we think are the best". I play series because I want to play similar games. If I want something different and I like a dev I look at their other games. This is surely...
