This is the problem with Nomura nowadays: he can’t decide what to be. His designs aren’t over-the-top enough to be endearing, but not restrained and grounded enough to be gritty. He’s basically a halfassed Daisuke Ishiwatari (Guilty Gear) who goes full in on ridiculousness but makes it cool. It’s why Nomura’s best…

No it wasn’t, people were smearing Japan for doing what it had always done. You couldn’t go a day without someone using “anime” as a pejorative or making really uncomfortable remarks about pretty boy protagonists whether it was some asshole at a Western company or the press. The last console generation was unashamedly…

Let’s be real here, yellow peril was rampant during that particular generation. It was deeply uncomfortable to witness that happening

Boring

Okay, go and stew in your bitterness for the rest of your life

Grow the fuck up

Well, that’s the problem for him: even with all this grifting he STILL hasn’t made money. He’s STILL a broke-ass bitch and he’ll continue to be a broke-ass bitch. He ain’t making half a billion dollars in four years when when the debtors come to collect

Let’s simplify it further: he’s a broke-ass BITCH.

No, it’s been long overdue, the franchise needed a reboot and new direction. One of the problems with the franchise was that it became toothless and basically committed to saying nothing. The stories ultimately became a bunch of fluff devoid of deeper meaning or true theme. You can’t do that without going into some…

Japanese pretty boys are here to stay. Get the fuck over it.

If anything, the obsession with visual fidelity has been detrimental to FF from a gameplay and story perspective. FFVIIR’s visuals and combat might LOOK interesting, but the further you get into it the more the flaws pop up. Putting that much on display just led to the story going weird places (not helped by Nomura…

Pretty much; I broke the mentality of hoarding them and just got used to using them as projectiles

Those were around decades before Naruto. Look up Futaro Yamada

Behold: Cutie Impa!

Meanwhile Dems like Dick Durbin are already folding like cheap paper and whining about how we need to get over there being a vote. The political advice of hacks like James Carvill was nothing more than patronizing poison

Maybe he’ll get one Buster that’s him going “ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!”

It wasn’t; Matsuno himself confirmed that Valendia and Ivalice are NOT in the same universe. The FFT references were just easter eggs

Not even just the character designs, but the overall mood and tone.

That’s what happens when you force a character in halfway through development. And they wonder why Matsuno said “Fuck all y’all, I’m out!”
