Old habits are hard to break at Redmond it seems.

There is the danger where AA Boutique publishers can get lost in the shuffle, but I think they’re just as agile and adaptable as smaller independents, so long as they keep their overhead relatively small, and more importantly, do all they can to keep customer loyalty.

NGL, I also had to look up some of the other choice shorthand business acronyms he dropped. I don’t often speak corporate in my emails, but when I do, I make sure to open a Dos Equis when the day is done.

The only explanation I’ve bashed around my head-canon over the years, is avoiding the topic out of respect for Aerith - which by now, are becoming fast BFFs.

FF7 Rebirth is gonna be all right ya’ll.

I’m less worried about this in Rebirth, than what we saw in Remake. If they expand each location outside of Midgar, similar to what they did in the last game, there’s enough game to easily fill 2 discs for sure.

In the original, you couldn’t breed Chocobos until you got the airship, so its very much looking like they’ll save it for Part 3.

Having the game start on a cold open, right within Cloud’s storytime in Kalm is a great way to introduce the events of Nibelheim - which is the entire emotional crux of FF7, and a good opportunity to showcase new gameplay mechanics with Cloud + Sephiroth double-techs.

Fuck man. I feel like. I KNOW I LIVED during 2021, but everytime I try and recall what I did, where I was, what I was doing, the shit I saw, my mind just doesn’t process it anymore - Two years removed.

Sigma.

I have enough of a backlog to last probably the rest of my life, plus whatever new stuff Nintendo puts out.

Wasn’t me!

Ehh.. I dunno. Resident Evil is camp horror, so I’m not expecting Oscar level stuff, and it would be out of place with a series that revolves around a virus created by a shadowy megalocorporation, with villains who love to chew screen time.

And hasn’t this ship sailed already too? With the earlier success of the Wii and the Switch which STILL prints money, PLUS the mega millions from 1/3 of Pokemon, the Mario movie and future films..... LOL this is a warp pipe dream now for M$.

Yes, I’m hoping they come with the package this time.

I’m less excited about the Xbox Series Slim than I am for that controller.

If the issue was just a graphics downgrade, (Lower resolution, lighting, etc.) there probably wouldn’t be as much of a stink about the Switch port. But clearly, the game was released in less than polished state.

And people were upset that Remake was just Midgar.

Yes indeed! Because in JRPGs, the NPC class are the filthy peasant class, and our heroes, the player characters, have better things to do than play police officer and open a case on these creeps!
