Crab cakes are one of my favorite foods in the world, and I may never eat one again after seeing that header image.

I feel like I’m going insane with the coverage of this game, because Square Enix and seemingly every publication keep saying “The Final Fantasy VII Remake” releases in April, implying that it’s the full remake when it’s not the case. Hell, they haven’t even acknowledged a roadmap for the rest of the story.  Read more

It’s not even that I’m anti-episodic. It looks like they’re adding enough to justify making it a trilogy, or quadrilogy (is that a thing?), or whatever. Read more

That’s a good point I hadn’t thought about, but you’re still talking about the original release of the movie and not a remake, so it’s still not a fair comparison to this. Read more

That makes even less sense than your first reply. I’ve already spent more time replying to you than you deserve, so keep on keeping on, freind! 

Did you mean to send this reply to me, because it doesn’t make sense? The whole issue I have is that I fully understand what “part 1" means, but Square Enix refuse to call this “part 1". Read more

Honestly, I haven’t even considered how the additional episodes will work. I’m still only about 50% convinced there will even be further episodes. The way they keep talking about how much content is in this first one, and how it’s “a full game by itself”, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all we end up getting. Read more

No, I never played the .hack games. I don’t generally have a problem with paying full price for individual games or series. Read more

SE can state whatever they want. A story that ends at Midgar is in no way a remake of FFVII, it’s literally only a part of the story. It can have as much extra content as The Witcher 3, but it’s still not a complete remake of FFVII. Read more

My expectations for the “FF7 Remake” were already low when they announced it would be episodic, but they had no roadmap beyond Epidose 1. Read more

I happened to catch this one live last week, and I was glued to the screen the whole time. Especially the first few stages where he hasn’t taken a death yet. Read more

If you’re not currently looking at your laptop, then technically it exists in a state of being both the best and worst laptop right meow. Read more

So you’re saying the boys view you as more fragile, less skilled, and unable to take care of yourself? Read more

Great article, Maddy. Informative, engaging, and well-written.

I didn’t even mean to imply that you’re necessarily stuck. I didn’t really get stuck either per se, but I’m 100% sure I would have given up at some point if I tried to beat it without any help. There are a couple of “stand on this specific teleporter at the exact right time” moments I doubt I would’ve solved on my own. Read more

If you’ve spent a few hours exploring it and getting a good taste of the atmosphere and lore, I’d suggest you consider using a guide to push through to the end (blasphemy to some people, I know). Read more

I’m usually not a good movie critic. I tend to find the good in most things, and can suspend disbelief to where I don’t notice a lot of the things I see people complain about (Last Jedi rules!). Read more

My main source of unease about this is that it seems like Square is going out of their way NOT to mention that this is part 1. Read more

I too had the urge to play (and finally finish) this on New Years Eve. Didn’t have as cool of a spot as you to play it, but warm and cozy in my living room was just fine. Read more

It’d be interesting for sure. Anecdotally, I’ve played 2 of those and loved them, and plan on Disco Elysium being one of my first purchases having just picked up a new PC. Read more
