I really love SRW, but this ain’t that.

that was entirely my bad for getting the two confused, orz

Too bad the mech battles look so absolutely boring to slough through. And it’s such a shame, too, because Odin Sphere—their last foray into RTS-style gameplay—was fantastic.

@CapnMcquacken There’s something very broken about being ok with outright racism, however there is also something very broken about always having it at the forefront of your concerns.

Sephiroth doesn’t die at the end of the game, though? You fight him in the literal lifestream.

Bro FF8 was literally a criticism of child soldiers; following orders without question; the fragility of memory and how important letting others into your life is if you want to live a healthy life; how blindly sticking to a dream, even if noble, can still have disastrous consequences; the dangers of war economies—not…

It makes sense when you pay attention to the main story and side-stories relevant to Sephiroth and Jenova in FF7, and will make more sense if you’ve read the novels/short stories that lead up to AC.

Imagine being so inured to military propaganda and how ingrained the military industrial complex is at all levels of American culture, government, and life that you can’t understand how this is very much something to care about.

It’s...really not as complicated as you’re making out to be. Even GoT had messianic themes, re: Danny, and no one is out here thinking Robert or Cersi or anyone with real power were “good guys”.

You might be thinking of Generation Zero

I’ma take this as an excuse to post some of my favorite walk cycles in fighting games mkay feel free to do the same.
