I hear what your saying but I think it's easy top 5.  Why? Because square can't make games better than their golden era.  But I'm always saying that, no more remakes, no more spin offs. Hire a good writer and work on your fundementals. I'd be worried about 16 with it's bland art style but since Square is keeping it…

I bought FF7 on launch day, but as much of Sony’s as Squares? Thats like saying since EA and Square had a joint publishing company, FF8 is as much of EAs game as Squares. Square games of past were always uniquely their own.  They were such trailblazers everyone tried to copy their formula. 

Kind of makes you wish that Nintendo just used a hair more powerful cpu back then or included an SA-1 or super FX so any game could take advantage of it. In north america, they were REALLY close to including the super FX. Oh well... Water under the bridge. 

I hear what you’re saying. I’m not sure they’re exactly equivalent because like you say, it has a long history LONG before it in art and in the culture itself. Whereas Hitler adopted it for his cause, it wasn’t remotely part of German culture. I try to keep in mind that swastikas’ are all over Asia and especially…

I don’t think Japan can be separated from Japan’s war crimes even if you constantly change the flag. I’m not trying to be snarky. But in the category of have they been a good and productive member of the international community since WW2, I would say they have.

I think it ends up splitting hairs mostly. Because they said the game "doesn't know the difference" but in interviews from someone in the team, they said it does break game logic which is pretty normal when you just uncap a frame rate. I think they'll figure it out. Ever since Bioshock on 360, I'd say, wish they would…

Hopefully it’s possible. That engine was apparently very brittle, thats one of the reasons a PC port was never done. But it sure would be interesting to see it run at 4k 60.

You’re not wrong. Unfortunately the coup was a real threat. It's unfortunate that our american exceptionalism prevented the majority of people from thinking it was possible because "that could never happen here." Maybe the bubble got popped. 

If you think impartial journalism is dead, you might just need to expand your diet.

Id say there isn’t a lack of critical reporting, but let’s be honest. Trump let everything on fire so that’s why even Republicans would go “holy shit...wait what?!” Kotaku isn’t the place for this anyways, but I remember when Colbert did a daily show anniversary/reunion thing Samantha Bee said something very funny and…

I think it stems from the fact that games are “fun.” Movies and games are just not same, just like books and movies are different. While it ends up being a longer, more complicated conversation games ultimately end up cheapening the serious message. I’m not saying this is going to be Wolfenstein where your enemies are…

That’s fair. Honestly neither of us are in a position to evaluate it. But she should pursue it. She may be in a very different state than when it was granted.

You hit the nail on the head. This is what a support system looks like when people have severe mental illness. It just WAY more complicated because most of the time people don’t have massive fortunes. 

Lol, it’s funny because I still do that... “It’ll never be better than FF6, Chrono Trigger”.... Even if I’m wrong keep searching. Your issue may not have been as bad as mine, but I had just accepted it and just thought that’s the way it is...But once I got it solved I was so much happier and more productive overall.…

You’re probably never going to see it honestly, but the good news is they aged well. I’d skip the 3d remakes and emulate the PSP FF4. It’s a remake and looks amazing. Pixel art done right. But the SNES versions are still the best. There may be hacked versions of 5 and 6 that include the GBA content. But the sound is…

In actual seriousness I just happened to be a guy who used to fall asleep ALL the time if physical labor wasnt involved. I was/am a healthy dude but consider getting your vitamin D level checked. It’s actually more of a hormone than vitamin. But I don’t make it naturally and I live in the sunniest state in country.…

I sentence you to two years in JRPG jail for blasphemy!

The cinematics are voiced. But you didn't play 9 because there was no voice acting?! I'm sentencing you to 3 years in JRPG jail. Dude the BEST RPGs don't have voice acting. 

I’m with you that turn based is not dead. I’ve gotten into many arguments with whipper snappers about this. Not looking forward to devil may cry combat in 16 either.

I don’t mean to criticize but do you not have 4, 5 or 6 on there because you never played it?
