I’m probably not allowed to say what I think should happen to Finch, but I hope he will be just as ready to get over it.

I feel like no one even told me this was out?

Also just seems like it’s been an *especially quiet* quiet part of the year for big games so far, hasn’t it? Hi-Fi Rush stunning right out of the gate, but even that’s a nice rare mid-range title, and... what else?

Wonder how long it'll be until there's a Persona 6 in the works, or if ATLUS is just going to have to keep getting 5 spinoffs made... forever.

Hope this bombs harder than FFXIV 1.0. So hard no amount of dropping meteors on it can possibly fix it... into making back a cent.

While it was maybe for the best it was addressed quickly after the one incident... I think the joke itself wasn’t even that bad? It reads as a joke about transphobic jokes not actually being funny... or could have, delivered by a human. AI doesn’t have that intentionality, no way to wink at the audience that it’s…

Diddy Kong was one of my favorites on Wii, so I hope they take advantage of this opportunity to remedy that long injustice.

I'm also hearing that there's a final chapter with every character, instead of just an out-of-the-way boss rush + superboss to tie things together.

I wonder how much use the Luminous Engine will actually be at this point.

Part of me hopes Dragon Quest XII will be that, though I’d also be disappointed if they flattened the anime down too much for FF’s over-focus (for me) on realism. But surely they couldn’t do that with The Toriyama Series, right?

what's sexier than mechs, honestly?

I just hope the fonts are decent, without being able to change it easily like the PC releases.

I was just surprised they didn't charge $60 for Prime 1. (At this point I'm assuming 2 and 3 remasters are inevitable.)

the transitions between the animated scenes and the in-game 3D animation is legitimately one of the slickest things I've seen, all the styling in this game is so good!

With two caveats: I’m not sure it’ll actually come out this year (having been pushed back from a release last year), and full disclosure, I backed it during the Kickstarter and therefore have a vested interest in it being good :P - I want more people to look at this garbage game.

I know it’s a big Square game that got announced at Nintendo Direct, and also (a very good remake of) a 1994 game [the true final boss brings it up a notch in its own right, IMO!], so it feels unfair to call it as overlooked as these gems. But the point remains - more people should play Live A Live! Or at least listen…

Rosaria and Dhalmekia are, like, 90% of the way to XII’s Ivalice’s Rozarria and Dalmasca already, I’m fine with them changing everything else :P

I didn’t hate it like some. And on paper, I like some of the idea. But eventually I reached a point where it was just an annoyance - I had so many weapon slots I no longer needed to pick up and try everything I saw, it didn’t feel like the gear was getting any better, I’d settled on a weapon... and it felt like there…

The World Ends With You is a perfectly fine title, but shout-out to NEO: The World Ends With You. Hardly the worst offender, but when picking up a copy I spent minutes trying to figure out if they’d know what I mean by “Neo TWEWY” and how to properly pronounce it without slipping up. Eventually just blurted out “you…

The best joke in Kingdom Hearts history is Kingdom Hearts III opening with a title card for Kingdom Hearts II.9.
