    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Would seem much easier for it all to be an invasion from below from a city close/semi close to BG. I recall there being a small illithid city set up near Candlekeep somewhere for the purpose of stealing knowledge from there. It's not too far from BG.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Actually watching it again I could see where that's maybe their version of a squidhead dreadnaught. Kinda odd, though. I'm going to need more than "invaders from space" that are illithids to explain that story.

    I'm laughing pretty hard at this. But the thing in the trailer looked more like an unfettered Kraken than this. Monster ENCyclopedia: Kraken

    I pretty much use allied seals for all my port tickets and ventures for retainers. Mainly because they have refused to bump the centuro seal cap above 1k but you can stock up 4k allied before you cap out.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The trailer makes it seem like it's not just illithids invading. The flying Krakens look like a link to the Aboletic Sovereignty that was introduced in 4e as a floating city with giant aboleth of a different sort than the normal solitary ones in the Forgotten Realms you'd normally see/meet...

    Still better than nothing, and nothing is what we'll have for a full couple months (unless you count baseball) until football and the European soccer seasons start up.

    For whatever reason it didn't bother me near as much with 10 as it did with 13. 10 always felt like you were traveling TO Zanarkand and that was the ultimate goal, so it never felt as weird there was a lack of the overworld map in that game. Plus you could actually go backward and recruit...

    Also something I like, and in VII at least, every new vehicle actually opened up meaningful progression. For a game like IX though, while new vehicles (or Chocobo being able to cross different stuff), I felt game really lost steam after the initial continent.

    Just going off anyone I've ever talked to and everything I've ever read online about the game, you're in the minority. Midgar always blew me away and was something that while it was cool to get into the overworld, I always wished there was even more to explore of Midgar.

    The irony here is I'm sure none of the Canadians complaining were saying anything when their hockey team was up like 15-0 on Belarus or whoever.

    It's pretty clear even from the trailer they're adding more to it, though (the story I mean). If Midgar is really taking up that much space, I can only assume they're going to add quite a bit. I don't see the point in waiting even more time for it if I want to play part 1 as soon as it comes out.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Obviously up to every person if they want to buy it, I'll take whatever I can get. Midgar is like 10% of the original game, but most people (including myself) that were excited for a full remake saw it as an opportunity to expand on Midgar even more, as it was one of the more memorable areas in...

    Shit I'll buy every part. I won't want to wait multiple years in between installments but whatever. If it looks that good and plays as well as I hope it does, I'll live with it.

    I'm surprised people might have thought equipment wouldn't change. As soon as they showed the materia in weapons (and note, the materia slots) should have known we would see the gear change throughout. Can't put 8 materia in the Buster Sword.

    I like your version of how it would work. Whether or not that's how they saw it, I guess we'll find out. Makes sense, though. I do hope there's even more background info about the Reunion/JENOVA stuff like there is in the original that you have to hunt around for, like talking to Hojo at...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I agree with you on the concern of boss complexity, although I could easily see that first boss interacting far more with the environment in there than other bosses (just to show it off a little) will even if the fights still retain some complexity. On more Sephiroth early, it can work if...

    This was something I noted to others in my FC. Also, you don't see him saying the entire line, could be an edit to make it seem very misleading...but I doubt it.

    The only reason I'm thinking it's possible is we aren't just adding some new area/continent to Eorzea. It's an entirely new world to us. We'll see though.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I've heard the DLC's help make the game a lot better, I was thinking I might need to play it if the Remake's combat mirrored it a lot. 9 months, so plenty of time if I need to do it. I get your fears on VII, although some of it delves into the "SJW fear" that I find a little overdone. They...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Trust me I get the skepticism. From the moment it was announced in 2015 I was excited but worried, because I agree VII had those quirks and charms that I wasn't sure they could "update" so to speak. But the potential for them to delve more into Midgar and that world was equally exciting so...

    I totally understand this, but I like the fact they're talking about expanding on the story and/or Midgar hopefully. Granted, I don't think anything before or since topped VII, but I still though IX/X/XII were all solid games. It's only VIII and XIII and its sequels I had real problems with...

    Yeah I'm definitely not going to rewatch it. although it has me hyped for the release, they keep saying this one is bigger than a normal expansion and basically a whole new stand alone game with the amount of content. We'll see, but I'm really interested to see where they go with it. You're...

    Do you mean they meant that BG 3 takes place 100 years after BG 1? BG 1 was like 1368 in FR timeline, the last "current" year for the FR timeline was like 1491 so that would be a bit more than 100 years but ~75 years short of 200 year gap.

    200 years would put it ahead of whatever the "current" FR timeline was I thought. Will definitely look forward to it, BG games and BG 2 in particular were amazing.

    Maybe I was a bit older when I played VII than most, but while I understand the translation being a little muddled at times, I never had a problem understanding the story even back when I first played it. I often hear that as a criticism of the game and I imagine people playing it as their...

    Yeah last I heard (maybe it was a rumor) Part 1 would go up to Aeris' death, then Part 2 would pick up right after that until the end.

    Put it this way, I think he was easily #1 pick in fantasy last year going into the season...but he should not be this year at all.

    It's not TV, it's HBO! Ranking every full-length series thus far.

    Entourage isn't Entourage without Drama, though...who's just amazing. Anytime I go back and binge a season it's hilarious how many little things Drama does/says you forget about that are just perfect/hilarious for that character.
