    Final Fantasy 16

    I think it's easy to explain in the sense it means different things to different people. Shit, there were complaints about so many cutscenes in VII, and the rise of steampunk stuff in VI and especially VII. People hated on the central love story in VIII. People talk about X as the last turn...

    Final Fantasy 16

    The funny thing is original FF6 (3 on the SNES) was broken as fuck. Could vanish/X-zone most of the game, a lot of combat stuff didn't work as intended. Think one of the evade stats was completely non functional. Relm's draw could break certain versions of the game if I recall. I went back...

    Shit i'd play it. 6 was my 2nd favorite of the entire series, and subject of endless debates at the time whether it for Chrono Trigger was the best game ever.

    Little things like the Phoenix ultimate during a stagger actually pauses the time on the stagger bar, but every single hit it's doing will keep boosting up the damage bonus while not wasting any of the stagger bar time. Could either use it to help build up the bonus, or when you have other ways...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    "chew your way through" makes sense for A Realm Reborn. But pretty much once you get to Heavensward, the story is top notch. Stormblood has some pacing stuff that causes some slow parts, but pretty much as soon as you get to the end of ARR, the story cranks up and it just kinda goes from...

    I do get the complaints about lack of gear, etc, although exploring has led me to a couple decent accessories that improve abilities. Are they necessary? No, definitely not, but can be fun trying out different builds. The whole gear customization stuff feels like it basically gets replaced by...

    This is also a great system. As a long term fan myself that goes back to FF1 on the NES, I'm perfectly fine with them going in this direction when the combat is going to have this much depth to it. I get it if some old fans don't want that, but the game can still be good the way it is, too.

    Final Fantasy 16

    Literally just got to this part and was like "holy fuck". On combat, feels a lot like 7R's combat in the sense that people who only button mash complain about it, but there's layers to it and a lot of things you can do to improve stagger which makes fights faster, less repetitive, and way...

    Anytime someone admits they skip through cutscenes CAUSE I GOTTA GET BACK TO THE ACTION WOOO...it's a simple don't trust their opinion on story in the slightest. The fact they compare it to XIV as well (which I guarantee they also skipped story in by the sounds of it), while making the "only...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Pretty sure Nomura isn't the director for Remake anymore, but I know certain people and/or Kingdom Hearts fans who feel wronged by that franchise can't help but bring his name up constantly. Honestly Max has been right about a lot of what has ended up happening and his theory makes the most...

    Playing through the demo again just to get in the mode for midnight. I'm going to walk into work on 2 hours of sleep and need about 3 coffees to function, but fuck it.

    Final Fantasy 16

    Main thing I've noticed between a couple spoiler free reviews is talk of sidequests. Early on, sounds like a lot of basic fetch stuff, but later stuff sounds involved and important, also apparently small stuff can lead to much more in depth stuff.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Probably depends on ages played at, and how into games one was. Granted I go back to FF1 on the NES, but 7 still most memorable experience for me. 6 second most so, after that probably 10 and 4. Replayed the heck out of all of those games 10+ times each. Liked 9, but have only replayed it...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    You've definitely forgotten. When Cloud finally "fixes" his mind, he names Zack when they unravel his real memories of the trip back to Nibelheim. You also can see a cutscene/history of what happened after the confrontation with Sephiroth as Hojo experiments on both Cloud and Zack in the...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Eh, if Cloud was going to sacrifice in place of anyone should be Zack. Still agree with Max's theory that saving Aerith will be a fake out, and the 2nd timeline will be snippets of seeing Zack follow same path as main party in their timeline (chasing Sephiroth/Jenova to Northern Crater). I...

    Final Fantasy 16

    I know certain streamers like Mr Happy and Maxmillian have played a good bit of the game beyond even the demo already, and Max made some comments about it not being that "open world", so I'm not sure how much less restricted the open areas will get post demo. Would like some bigger zones to...

    SWTOR

    That makes sense, although I've obviously played through all the class stories and had at least 1 of them up to 75. But my main as an IA going through the Eternal Empire story line was a bit odd everyone lining up behind me. Still didn't like all of the post 50 main story, but most of it was...

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    Last I read it was supposed to be on the land where the Tropicana is now. I know the city just passed a bill giving it the green light, no idea what other legal hurdles there might be, though.

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    I am curious why they're looking at such a small stadium to be built there (I read only ~30,000 seats), I would think Vegas fandom would be pretty strong, especially off Knights winning the Cup.

    Ahhh, okay that makes sense. No plans to swap to the Raiders then? Vegas A's once they make their move?

    Part honest question, too, legit or just trolling? Weird combo, especially when Vegas beat the Stars along the way

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    It's nice to see Stephenson win another, at least. Definitely one that got away, but he really showed none of the offensive breakout he's had in Vegas when he was with us. Although I do think playing on a line with Stone helps a lot. Crazy to know that Eichel has his name on the Cup before...

    SWTOR

    No I've been to 75 as well, 1-50 still tops 50-75 by a good margin. Agree Hutt expansion was the worst, though. The Eternal Empire, Revan, etc I'd say was 75% pretty great, but it wasn't as consistently great as my 1-50 experience. I will say I leveled initially as Imperial Agent, so perhaps...

    Kind of a shame, the 1-50 leveling experience in this game was one of the best times I've had in an MMO. Was ultra casually checking out Cata in WoW at the time, and a bunch of us just hopped over to SWTOR for early access. We blazed to 50 over start of winter break and it was just fantastic...

    Combat looks awesome, going to hop into the demo later tonight. Pretty much definitely going to buy it just based on what I saw last night, though.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    It's possible that was the forest, but I doubt they would confirm anything past a certain point in the very first trailer. We're sure to get at least another trailer at some point AND then probably a launch trailer before it releases. I'd expect more location reveals, potential Cid/Cait...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Not really, Sephiroth literally spends the entire OG messing with Cloud's head, the idea he would try to make him doubt what actually happened with Tifa could just be another version of this. Given the theory that this is Sephiroth from after Advent Children, him having knowledge of how things...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    It is, but they also showed that scene as part of a flash forward in Part 1 at one point I'm pretty sure...so no guarantee that's actual "you're there at that point in the game" versus just Cloud having another brain melt. Although towards the end when the one is saying "Re...un...ion", it does...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Still feel it's super likely we end up finishing Rebirth at Aerith scene or Northern Crater. They obviously wouldn't confirm/show everything in the first real trailer for it. We already got to see quite a bit in just this one...Red XIII and Yuffie confirmed playable in the party, up to Cosmo...

    Hype as fuck. World looks amazing to be honest. Pretty obvious there's more "team/Dual Tech" attacks in some of the combat footage. All the story stuff looked/sounded great, too. Expectations increasing.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    For actual news on Rebirth, the FF7 twitter has been releasing comments from the developers the last few days (up to 5 now), and the thought is once they get to 7 there will be some trailer/release date announcement/something.

    The Lazarus Project

    New scifi show on TNT. Looks fairly low budget, but semi interesting premise. Secret agency/group that uses a singularity to reset time to prevent world ending events.

    Nah I think more people rooting against Vegas, don't want to see expansion team win this quickly, and Florida has the super underdog thing going for them. Also Fuck Vegas.
