    Well one, I never really gave a shit about Edward, he was kind of whatever as a character. The twins were actively spying on you at first when they join your party, and aren't with you long enough to make you care about them all THAT much, or at least I didn't. Yang/Cid cared about a little...

    It's funny b/c Tellah is really the only one that dies in 4, Edward, Yang, Palom/Porom all survive in the end, so I never got that "higher stakes" feel, really. Better story is debatable, although I kind of feel you on the size of the cast being a thing. I think 6 does a great job at giving...

    Yeah obviously 1 isn't mine, either. 6 was also the 3rd I played, and it's my 2nd favorite behind 7, those 2 have a bit of a gap between them and other FF's aside from maybe ShB in XIV

    Out of curiosity, when was it better?

    I find that if people really like 4 and 6, they tend to like 9 a lot, too. More high fantasy versus the steampunk feel. 8 has a passionate group that praises it, always was a big disappointment for me.

    They always say most people's first FF is their favorite. Unless you're old like me and played FF1 on the NES. But all the good ones like 7, 6, 10, Tactics, 9/4/12 all hit well.

    Question is can that actor pull off badass Kang (assuming they use the same guy).

    This is definitely the best way I've seen it put. A lot of people rave about 5.3 MSQ and how it ends, which I get, to a degree...but I still argue the climax of 5.0 is the high point, for the very reason you point out. That is still present in 5.1-5.3, but not to the same degree for me. 5.0...

    Loki

    This one thing I think they could have done better, have He Who Remains do a better job of explaining the relative power/big bad levels by discussing Thanos as some "local" issue to this one timeline, while pointing out how much bigger in scope variants of someone like he who is controlling...

    Honestly pretty satisfying, if leaving a whole bunch of questions still.

    The telling well is the main thing, and the actual story gets better beyond ARR for sure. Your level of tolerance for ARR suggests you will enjoy expansion story more.

    Rashford did what he wanted, sending keeper wrong way, he just trimmed it too close and hit the post. Guys like Sterling just watching a 19 year old have to step up as the 5th shooter in the Euro Final is just ridiculous, though.

    Right, who would want to watch a sport where you can actually see the best 3 players of all time play in a single era against one another. "Boring".

    SWTOR

    Actually useful the individual story instances they can't actually follow him into. I still remember good times leveling in this game, and some of the later story was actually pretty good shit. They really dropped the ball with this game, even if it has kinda had an extended lifespan by going FTP

    Italy definitely did in the 2nd half, I thought England kind of took back the initiative in Extra Time, though.

    Djokovic basically on the cusp of becoming the undisputed greatest of all time, can cap off the year with a Grand Slam and take over the lead in Major wins at the same time with a victory at the US Open.

    Ashes of Creation

    game looks pretty fucking good graphically I think. Battles might have too many effects but I'm sure will be able to tone that down with options.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Many people who forever deemed it a "weeb" game, are so bored with everything else they're actually trying it out and finding out any of that stuff you can pretty much ignore and enjoy all the good things the game does.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Clearly because half her soul was missing, which nobody would have any idea about because they're stupid and put most if it in the novels they expect people to read to keep up with the story (or something). It's all just bad and doesn't make much sense.

    What If looks interesting, bringing in some power characters like The Watcher, etc. I assume Dr Strange will feature prominently.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    They both could carry the load if the other was out, but Hill has only missed 6 games in 5 seasons, while Kelce has only missed 2 games in the last 7 seasons. They've both been pretty remarkably healthy. But losing one or the other against a GOOD team would make things a lot tougher. This is...

    Well, Kane did "miss" with a shitty penalty, he just lucked out rebound came right to him for an even easier finish.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I mean good on them for taking advantage of the rules, I just think comparing this instance to others isn't the same because it was clearly a full on planned we'll just have him sit the whole regular season and he'll be fine for playoffs and we'll get to add some depth/firepower at the TDL. Any...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I'm sure they didn't want to lose him at all, but once it was clear they were going to lose him, that method makes the most sense. That team clearly still talented enough to make the playoffs without him.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I'll say that with the Kane injury, at least it happened mid season right before the deadline, and wasn't some pre-planned before a regular season even started move. Obviously shortened season circumstances, but plenty of other teams have had guys hurt the last few years and used ltir cap space...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    I just think Tampa overall has far more depth. KC depends a lot on Hill and Kelce, especially losing Sammy Watkins in free agency.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    No I think if Hill went down, it would hurt KC quite a bit. Don't get me wrong, Mecole Hardman and Pringle have their places, but they aren't even in the same realm as Hill and Kelce are for that team. Compare them to Tampa who have Evans and Godwin, plus Antonio Brown now...with Gronk...

    Gotta respect how good that roster is. Vas is just the best goalie in the game, too. Teams going to have to come hard next year.

    The starting quest was a little off the beaten path if I recall, especially nowadays when MSQ is enough to level multiple classes and you barely touch sidequests at all.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What they're going to try and rationalize is she was missing a piece (half?) of her soul, which is what the Jailer gave back to her in the cinematic. The actual reason up to this point is the usual shitty writing.
