I like you.

Um, he said that Final Fantasy has been one of the Playstation’s pillars since the beginning. Of the Playstation. That’s... true.

I had completely forgotten about that issue in my ‘89, but yeah... same here.

Literally every other story on the front page of Jalopnik is about cars. What the fuck are you actually on about?

I’m sorry... is the spoiler that there’s action? The name of the episode?

I’m non-binary and just use “any/all.” It’s the same thing, but like ... simpler?

What the hell is with this commentariat? Does the title of the article say “I picked the best FF to start with?” No, it says the readers did.

Are you a child? As someone who spends all their time creating shit (as well as critiquing the creative works of others), the idea that someone who has never and will never create anything that gets put out in front of people to be judged feels entitled to talk shit to people who do is ridiculous.

Then I guess you’re a chump-ass, since you’re ignoring all of the people who get opportunities because of their parents despite being untalented.

I’m not up nights worrying about nepotism, but it’s clearly a fucking problem. 

Yeah, the gas brand thing isn’t a myth. My uncle is a (recently retired) chemist who worked at one of the big oil companies starting fresh out of his masters. Over his career, as recently as a couple of years ago, his team would routinely run chemical analysis of what comes out of the pump for the top 10 brands. The…

Those are excellent points which make me wish they’d added a conversation between Cloud and Aerith where they talked about it.

Out of curiosity: do you think you’d feel the same way if you didn’t already know what was going to happen?

Specifically, Jessie’s mission. I totally get your take, but putting myself into the mindset of someone who hadn’t grown up on the original, I could see it adding a ton of impact to her death.

By using a game engine which supports building for different platforms.

Well said.

First off, you’re using a flawed analogy: this game isn’t adapting from another medium.

Secondly, if it’s a silly take, it’s a silly take that echoes common complaints from the first remake installment. There’s way too much filler, to the point where it feels like defensive justification of the remake itself.

A lot of…

One thing I don’t see people talking about is just how awful the menu UX is.

I agree. These kinds of mechanics make the game feel like it’s trying to justify spending an entire game in Midgar by putting in as much filler as possible.

I literally laughed the first time Cloud flips a switch in the reactor and Jessie says something like “wow, you’re strong!”

Girl, he had to summon his strength for 10 seconds to flip a switch... it’s not that impressive

Oh god, they didn’t fix the audio mixing? I’m playing through FF7R right now and it drives me nuts. Not to mention battle music continuing once a battle is done, despite it not being mixed to work well with conversation.

Also, thank you for clearly stating how I feel about these minigames. The same things that come…

It’s 2024. The rest of the world has moved beyond “h8rs gonna h8,” you probably should too.
