The thing is, Nintendo CAN make things nice and shiny, they often choose not to.

In my mind, these were two RPGs that were actually pretty different. Paper Mario was more traditional, and used timing as a small bonus. For example, correctly timing defensive moves reduced damage, usually by one or two points.

I don’t know about that. Just don’t see Sony throwing money at Shenmue...
In fact when they were introducing it, they were very careful to point out that this was Yu Suzuki’s independent project (which they were excited about). I am paraphrasing here, but that kind of sentiment definitely lowers expectations of Sony’s…

It’s unlike anything else really. If you’ve ever played Yakuza, the exploration is kind of like that but a lot slower paced where you take your time and explore the world like a detective. A TON of detail was put into interior spaces where you could rifle through drawers, call phone numbers etc.

How did Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny resist?

Oh god - can we have a stretch goal for an actual English writer and professional English voice actors? Listening to that dub was beyond painful. It was as if a 5 yr old wrote that dialog.

PENIS. ROCK HARD.

:DED:

Hell no, I wouldn’t sacrifice Cloud for anything ever, he is a cinnamon roll too beautiful for this world. Aerith is okay but I never cared for magic females. I like my girls punching tanks and mixing drinks.

I literally thought my heart was going to stop for a second. I was so in shock I forgot to breathe for a bit there.

A friendly reminder that we have to cry to Aerith’s death again

Live, dammit, live!! *pounds on chest*

I dunno about you guys but I’m literally so emotionally destroyed by this that I’ve gone past excitement and I’m back to absolute apathy. I think I used up all the excitement I had for the rest of my life in the span of 10 seconds. And as long as I live to play this remake I don’t even care.

IVE BEEN CRYING FOR A STRAIGHT 3 MINUTES, MY EYES HURT AND I DON’T EVEN CARE

Somebody call the ambulance, we got a fangirl on the floor!
