I blame Tetsuya Nomura for that.

Also acceptable 😇

I do. Maybe you could just say you’re not good with this kind of art, or you think Amano’s art style is shit, rather than traipsing around like this.

Wait, so you’re making essentially 33 1/3, but for video games?

That’s Bartz and Faris.

Well, this is Cecilia we’re talking about. Any anime that overemphasizes the sexual aspects of women will likely get her scorn. (Not a slight on her, it’s just who she is)

Probably the same reason a kid could grow up hating any specific sport: Cultural alienation

If you’re going to name your character after the lead from La-Mulana, just spell it properly 😛

Really? You going to make jokes like that?

“Community Standards.” The bane of many a deviant.

Here’s an official trailer for that new fighting game from Akira Co., the company behind the Street Fighter EX series.

Intelligence doesn’t save you from making stupid and corrupt decisions.

For some people, an institution’s sins are so great that the only acceptable outcome is to burn it completely to the ground. Anything less than that, anything that allows survival, is insufficient.

And we see here that Wario has mastered the art of Bajiquan, i.e. throwing a punch with less than a few inches of force and wind-up

Japan’s response to the Haka should be this:

Honestly, I see it as unlikely. Xenosaga was basically an attempt to recreate the story of Xenogears with a slight bit of credible variation. That got killed off at Episode III because it got too expensive.

But copyright law dictates that they must defend their IP, no matter the circumstance. If they didn’t do that, they would be failing their shareholders by leaving more valuable IPs at risk. That’s something people fail to appreciate here.

Well played.

A corporation’s purpose is not to support their customers, or connect with their fans. It is to enrich their shareholders. That is all. Anything else is completely secondary.
