It’s because Yoshida has such a cashcow that the executives can’t bully him. He’s got equal authority with guys like Nomura and Kitase so he can say what he wants without them throwing their weight.

They TRIED to make her Cloud, but forgot there was already a female Cloud: her name is Aya Brea from Parasite Eve and she’s fucking great because while she has BROAD similarities to Cloud (who’s also great) she has much more distinction and wasn’t just made to remind people of someone else.

It’s trying to do a “Cahiers du Cinema” thing, but unfortunately I notice a lot of these critics (mostly pasty white, cishet suburbanites) pick the WORST examples. Twilight for instance got unfair misogynist flack...but it’s still a misogynist, racist, creepoid series and Stephanie Meyer is an overly-privileged…

I would say it was with XII when that spiral downward began, but XIII really cemented FF from being this rebellious, innovative series that wasn’t afraid to do new things into an utterly safe, cowardly series (save for XIV). A lot of it has to do with guys like Kitase and Nomura who seem to believe that FF has a…

I would say 15 is more competent than 13 in terms of, well, EVERYTHING, but it’s also WAY more boring if nowhere near as grating.

Good. Judd can go straight to hell

The only ones that jumped out at me were Bravely Default II and No More Heroes II. Everything else was blah

XboxSeX

honestly surprised by that one; I figured it would be Death Stranding or Smash Bros

it’s mostly Yoshi-P who’s been pushing it because he was a huge fan of Tactics Ogre which was also made by Yasumi Matsuno.

Vagrant Story is Dark Souls if it actually had a narrative

Considering how FFXII went down, the only way it happens is if he gets zero interference from the executives. So yeah, not gonna happen

It’s almost like he doesn’t actually want them to have authority he can’t control.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about old men it’s that they can’t stand younger people calling them out because they know they don’t have a rebuttal. Gatoh knows he’s got nothing which is why he lashes out. Fuck him

It will only be true justice if she gets to punch Reagan in the nards

Another techbro turns out to be a pile of shit. It’s almost like there’s a pattern here

Now if only someone could figure out how to digitally edit out Scarlet Johanssen

The thing that absolutely BAFFLES me is how EA keeps trying to avoid putting stuff on the Switch. When people are scrambling to port stuff like The Witcher 3, Overwatch, and Doom to the system then the fact that EA hasn’t tried to do the same with, say, Dragon Age Inquisition or Battlefield it’s fucking bizarre. Heck,…

God, I really wish someone would figure out the rights to this and give it a proper video release.

Being a Macguffin is not the same thing as agency. Furthermore that whole thing then warps into the tired and misogynist “If I turn evil, then kill me” cliche which...EW. Dear God, that game has zero respect for women
