As someone who enjoys building custom game maps and is interested in staring my first D&D campaign, this is right up my alley. I’ll have to check it out once I’m home tonight.

You’re right, game development should be so difficult that only AAA studios can make them.

Um, counterpoint, like, no? Pwned.

Star for your post AND your screen name .

Why blur out the nipples? Free the nips!

I’m happy that the 10 year old kid’s main enemy isn’t trying to take over the world. It never really made any sense that the kid would be so heavily involved. in Sw/Sh, it made sense that the kids were mostly kept away from the potential world ending calamity until they stumbled upon it, and am happy that seems to be…

Can’t wait to see how cosplayers pull off dem boots.

SwSh don’t even have a real evil team. Team Yell are zealous fans at worst. 

I work for a small weekly newspaper that was bought by a large international media organization.

Yeah, I also read that as “meaningfully different switch hardware coming” not “another cosmetic variation coming.”

“New Switch hardware coming” is a hell of a way to word “there is a slightly differently colored Switch dock and controllers to tie in with the game”.

I dunno, I prefer to get my information on YouTube from people who are totally unqualified to give it but who can yell really loud.

Hello. If you are going to mention that video about the so called “hit stop”, you could mention the most important article ever posted on Kotaku which talked about that (and many other things) : In Praise Of Sticky Friction by Tim Rogers

If you think about it, isn’t a white man writing lyrics for a black artist just blackface by proxy?

Yeah, when he talks about receiving a “wide variety of requests” I think that’s more directed at management than it is at fans. Yoshida is almost universally loved by the fans.

Well, my living room is in that universe, wherever it is.  

I’m not as down on the post-X series as you are (12's got some good bits, the MMOs have their merits, and 13... is there), but I agree with you wholeheartedly. The more S-E tried to chase trends and be more action-oriented, the less it feels like Final Fantasy. They should just plant their feet, make a kickass ATB…

Seconded. A more-honest version of the statement from the intro lede would read “The director who revived Final Fantasy XIV says that the series isn’t adapting being adapted well to new trends.”

X was the last good single-player FF. Give me atb, give me FULL control of every member of the party. Don’t try to make it actiony. FF shouldn’t try to be DMC.

Final Fantasy isn’t the thing having issues with adapting, Square Enix management is the problem.
