No, it is not at all great for creators. Creators will only be paid less and more unemployed, as has only accelerated the past ten years as corporatization and algorithms have taken over the entertainment industry.

Dragon Ball fans are VERY familiar with this bullshit. Funimation has cropped Z for over a decade starting with the Orange Bricks (the most recent 30th sets are the first time they haven’t been), and Toei did it themselves with the Buu arc of Kai. This is disrespectful to the original artistic intent of the show.

I still can’t get past the textures, if they had done a cell shaded style rather than...whatever this is supposed to be it would have been so much better.

You mean the FFXI Carbuncle reused for FFXIV. /snobbishsniff

I recently found a slew of sealed games at my grandmothers house that I vaguely recall purchasing while I had a job making pretty decent money, but while I can’t recollect exactly how much I paid for them, I know FOR CERTAIN that I didn’t pay anywhere close to what they’re worth today... I guess I bought them before…

Kinda. You can get rid of the ZL/ZR icons, can’t get rid of the border itself though.

Yep.

When was the last time a game shipped with a manual? Especially for a digital download? I get that these are games which don’t hold your hands/don’t have lengthy tutorial sections, and there’s an argument to be made both for and against hand-holding at the beginning of a videogame; but, at the end of the day, the…

I have the collection preordered (I want the physical version). Then I can still support Square and don’t have to feel bad for obtaining the extracted Trials of Mana rom and playing it on my actual Super Nintendo/crt :)

Yeah, I like the art style a lot. It reminded me a lot of Dexter’s Lab and Fairly Odd Parents. It’s just a shame they took the rest of the game in a different direction. I’m not the market for this, and that’s ok, but I’m still sad they felt the need to go this way.

Fate in general? Easy to understand if broken down.

Assuming netcode is good, I’ll let people invade. You’re a demon, I’m the doomslayer. It’s not even a competition.

I’m not saying it’s impossible. I’m just pointing out how common it is for the game to be absolutely nothing like the hype trailer (aka No Man’s Syndrome). To unfairly skew one’s opinions against it because of it is wrong, and everyone needs to stop doing that.

Not sure what you’re talking about by “not as impressive” when these graphics look pretty sexy all things considered.

Interesting, I didn’t know I could disagree so thoroughly with a single person! I’ve played every main Final Fantasy from 1 through 15 (excepting 13, could not make myself like it) and this is without a doubt my second favorite. I view it as a towering achievement and a game that confidently rises above its flaws (and…

Let me correct you:
“*In my opinion* this game is unspeakably terrible.”

I actually find it pretty fun, more than 100 gameplay hours on it.

A better way to do it would have been to turn it into a subtle little story. Post-patch you notice her crying has stopped or changed, and go to look.

That second paragraph of yours is key here, and it’s what all the “preorders are bad” people usually forget to throw in there. I don’t need it, but as an adult with my own money and my own spending decisions to make I want it, can afford it, and will buy it on day 1.

Kotaku used your last one on Twitter :)
