Sure, 1-3 were similar, 4-9 were similar, 10 stood out, and 11-15 are similar. But we have a lot of the comments here claiming that Final Fantasy XV isn’t going back to its roots as a battle system, and I just find that comment ridiculous. What roots? It’s roots are in traditional turn based battle. But you have…

Have you played Duscae and the Platinum demo? Having put way more time into those than the developers intended, I feel like they understand the magic and idea of whimsy that need to go into this game.

That’s perfectly fair. What with the state of video gaming these days, I almost chickened out of a preorder as well... but then I did, because I’m a sucker for steelbook cases.

I haven’t played them all, but I thought I-IV were standard turn based, and then V-IX were ATB, with X being CTB, and XI-XV being variations of RTB. I can see people arguing that turn based and ATB are similar enough to cry for consistency, but I don’t really see it.

A lot of people are going on about the combat specifically. To me that’s never been the driving factor in what made a Final Fantasy game. I mean, the three I’ve put the most time into have been X, Type-0, and VIII. There is zero consistency in terms of combat for the series, especially once it made the move to 3D.

They ARE until someone says otherwise. Hm. This is what fans are for.

BUT IT WAS SO GOOD. Yeah, you’re right it is a trope.... but..... sigh.

Wow yeah your FOV feels... off.

You make a good point. Ignore the dark side trolls.

I couldn’t agree more. This looks awesome.

Haha that’s actually really good to know. It’s just that image you get in your head, ya know?

We should think more about Bob Saget?

Completely agreed. I hope the truth is found in this and that justice is served.

Me: “This had better not be another article about the Kardashians...”

It certainly is a stereotype. I used the ‘he’ only because it’s my default (am boy) but that’s definitely a stereotype that is easy to fall into. I certainly assume that most judges are old, white men.

My mistake - I was referring to the judge, I just forgot her gender from the article. Edited accordingly.

I’m a survivor of sexual abuse as a child and I’m thankful that my parents didn’t take the knee jerk reactions that Kesha and her lawyers seem to be taking. It does nothing but hurt the victims in the long run.

Okay, I think that’s completely fair. It does make him sound like he doesn’t give two craps about her trauma. Being non-partisan is an unfortunate part of the job.

It’s just.... rape? A man murdering a woman isn’t a murder related hate crime, it’s just fucking murder. And it’s atrocious and horrible and should be prosecuted to the highest degree. I have no idea where hate crimes came into the picture, but it’s a strange direction to go in my opinion. <— me, having no legal…
