Yeah, what they ought to do is have the game start at a ready screen (after all the loading and stuff is done) and then if it is ranked, require the players to click that they are ready before the game can actually start. For normals they can just autostart after 10 seconds or whatever, but for ranked there should be…

Also unlike FFXIII... the game which makes me scream at my party 'You fucks! We have like 50 pheonix downs and Vanille knows revive and apparently none of you will bother to heal me? You suck!'

They aren't resistant to change, they just want it to stick with the same core genre and concepts. It's not like any two Final Fantasy games are really all that similar when it comes to how characters build strength and stuff. I mean... FF5, FF6, and FF7 all have more or less the same set of attacks and abilities…

The timestamp says your response was a few minutes before mine.

You know what else is obsessive is responding to a comment over a month and a half after it was made.

Alkaizer is one of the best Diablo III players out there, sitting at the number one spot with his Barbarian on the Season 1 leaderboards and now—as this video proves—he has claimed this position with his Crusader as well. Pretty cool for a solo player.

In the end Final Fantasy XIII on Dive In was certainly playable—though lag and video problems made it far less enjoyable than when I played it on the PS3. However, it's important to point out that TGS with it's overburdened internet is far from the service's ideal conditions, so take the problems I had with a grain of…

The important question to ask is what this means for that one self-imposed game you mentioned where you try to have 100 children in as few generations as possible.

That's the natural conundrum of trying to add value to two different products that kind of compete with each other.

Sadly I never got to blow up a tank. My last year there we actually were selecting an old soviet tank to use as a test for some kind of anti-tank weapon, but I went off to pursue other things before that test ended up happening.

Heh, yeah, some people have a tendency to go off on people who have any kind of history working on military projects. Really, I was more on the testing end and mostly stuff involving rockets and warheads. Still lots of neat stuff to do and lots of flashy explosions to see.

Too true. I found FFXIII to be a frustratingly linear game, but I still enjoyed playing it. I might hate all the characters in it (except Sazh), and I might wonder why I'm not just playing an older, better Final Fantasy game the whole time, but it was at least worth exploring.

I guess it just hits home because I used to work in an industry full of bacronyms, TLAs, and this exact sort of jargon.

I fucking hate this series, but I know exactly the reason people like it. It's the exact same reason I like the Disgaea series even though most of the entries in the series are kinda shitty (somehow only the first ever had anything resembling a compelling story, though I guess D4 kinda came close). We are addicted to…

Ionized polymer syballistic attack platform. The system's lethality is dynamically robust across tactical spaces.

To be fair, the engine switch is probably a big part of why people were pulled... it's very hard to get good assets built for a project in the middle of a transition to something completely new like that, so they probably only needed the core team while all of that stuff was being refined.

Rip off of FFVII? We know basically nothing about the plot, little about the setting, or really anything substantial so far. Is the fact that it looks contemporary what has you out of place? Because that's crazy... contemporary settings are very rare in RPGs, J or otherwise.

Pretty sure it'll execute a smash attack based on the direction that you tap it in (or execute your typical aerial normal attacks/dash attack/etc). I think they said as much overtly.

Fuck, I ddn't think posting that link would turn me into a defacto advertiser.
