Well yeah, it stands to reason, you'd think! Tell that to the creators of several crowdfunding campaigns recently that got hit with cease-and-desists for messing around with IPs they didn't own...!

AFAIK they've never planned to charge for it.

I certainly didn't say anything about paedophilia. I read those characters as petit women standing behind their men, as opposed to children. Your reading also makes sense, but it does not make the strip any less classist and problematic.

The classism of Patriarchal Japan rears its ugly head. Bonus points for the submissive traditionally-dressed wife of the successful salaryman, compared to the bleach-dyed 'problem woman' girlfriend of the working class man.

I've just started a fresh playthrough of Persona 2 Eternal Punishment. It really resonated me back when it came out in 2000, and cumbersome interface aside, I just love everything about it.

Whoa, Parasyte is on Crunchyroll now? I loved that manga. Can't wait!

What, just shovelling tuna into your mouth straight from the can? I can vibe with that.

For Posterity.

My partner and I dressed as Julian and Bubbles of the Trailer Park Boys. We got some upscale takeout pizzas, stayed in to watch their Christmas Special, and gave a handful of candy to the one trick-or-treater we got. He was dressed as Batman and looked a bit bewildered.

The first FF13 almost did this. There were small gatherings of NPCs found few and far between, who would mutter short stock phrases when you brushed past them when running through the world. You couldn't really stop and interact with them. It was pretty unfulfilling!

When it comes to Final Fantasy, is suspending one's disbelief really that key to the experience?

Midgar Route Zero.

I really, really hope this is the case. I'd love this!

I just think the whole think is a bit naff. Comcept made almost 330% more than they anticipated for their initial Kickstarter, but they've been running one crowdfunding campaign after another since it ended.

It's not the cost that bothers me, it's the repeated crowdfunding campaigns. Why doesn't Inafune just wait and see how sales for the game is before asking for additional money for a bunch of post-release content before the initial product is even out? Or hell, even use some of the profits to fund it? Yeesh.

Pretty insulting. Infaune can get fucked. Very glad I decided not to pledge this the first time.

Time-travelling Hashishien...taking more direct inspiration from EXILE now, are we?

I believe the copyright Dragon Quest used to be owned by TSR. Obviously it's not anymore.

Same developer.

what's the problem? limiting oneself can help foster creativity. especially if you're not a virtuoso artist, going 8-bit is a good way to start and learn the basics. anyway, this is 16-bit and it's not a roguelike.
