    Final Fantasy 16

    There are actually a lot of well written side quests. There is one later in the game that serves as some further character development for a character who dies that is well written and voice acted.

    Kinda gets back to Jesse Cox's video: You don't like those changes, but maybe other people do. I hated the gameplay in Fallout 1+2, but I loved the 3D reworks for the franchise Fallout3 and onward. Any change in a game can risk alienating old fans, but it can also bring in new fans. It's...

    I'd rather that then Vanilla WoW Molten Core when half your abilities did no damage because they made everything immune to fire damage

    Not as far as I know. The game drips out the elements you have access to, so it doesn't make much sense to have elemental damage types when you can't even use elements until later. They took more of a FF14 approach. FF14 used to have elemental bonuses/mitigation like older MMOs used to, then...

    If you save Julius, then you potentially mess up Emperor Augustus coming about (arguably the most successful of Roman emperors)

    Final Fantasy 16

    The market has moved on from that for the most part, on consoles especially. I loved the turn based FF games as much as the next guy, but most modern gamers are used to the action style RPGs. Especially for 3d games

    They were in an area with radioactive contamination, so I also imagine that there would have been some extra precautions taken to determine if they've contaminated anything else. I recall reading about Chernobyl tours years ago and they used to check shoes to make sure they weren't tracking...

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    The "kill Hitler" time travel idea is a classic example of how trying to do an objectively "good" thing can result in unintended consequences. It usually is based on the idea that if Hitler was killed before he rose to power, then WW2 and the Holocaust would be avoided and hundreds of millions...

    Yup, script and lip syncing was all done in English. Technically everything else, including the JP version, is a dub

    That is why they brought YoshiP and CBU3 in to oversee and develop - the mainline FF games haven’t been critical or monetary successes like past titles, with FF14 and 7R being the only standouts

    That sub you listed is great, but only had room for 1 paying customer. For a commercial enterprise trying to sell tours, they would have needed something with more capacity In theory they should have been able to commission one to those standards, but they probably scoffed at the price and...

    Recovery wouldn’t yield much either and be difficult/expensive to pull off. The families of the clients are rich enough, but if there are no bodies to recover, I wouldn’t be shocked it they decide to let the wreck stay where it lies

    I’ve heard unsubstantiated reports that prior to losing communication, it was reported the sub was descending faster than expected. I wouldn’t be shocked if it descended too fast and the rapid changes in pressure stressed the hull too much and caused an implosion At least it would have been...

    Supposedly the debris field found by the ROV included parts of the sub, which seems to confirm it imploded. There will be an official statement from the coast guard later with more info

    If there is one thing actors love in tv shows, it is episodes where they play their character differently. You just know the Voyager cast probably loved being evil in the episode “Living Witness”

    What is sort of funny is someone tried to bait YoshiP with that and he basically gave them the answer they chose character designs based on the setting the game takes place in.

    Oddly enough, the Star Trek MMO tried their best to answer this...they had a whole plot line about some time traveling Disco Klingons try to weaponize the spore tech Was kind of a weak story if you didn't care about Discovery, but at least it leads to a storyline where you visit Klingon hell...

    Ya, he was playing stuff like UO and Everquest back in the day. He still tries to play new games (MMOs or not) when he can so he can keep a constant pulse on current gaming trends. I think most recently he was playing Elden Ring, which probably influenced some FF16 design decisions.

    If the concerns about their handling of the Gorn, I suspect they can always end up revealing that the Gorn in SNW aren't the same Gorn as in TOS. I did laugh that SNW basically revamped the Klingons to be more like what people are used to, though. There are some Disco Klingon influences, but...

    Technically Pluto has an atmosphere, but it is insanely thin and periodically freezes and falls to the surface.

    You can get some solid last-gen video cards now for a reasonable price now that the cryptomining GPU bubble is more or less done. The AMD cards still can't handle raytracing all that well, but there is a pretty solid by all accounts Intel ARC video card that handles RT for like $240 or less...
