That’s not new to Final Fantasy though. I’ve played the series since IV on the SNES when I was still just a kid. If you spent a lot of time exploring and doing all the side stuff, you’re going to end up over-leveled for the rest of the plot and if you don’t, well, either you did the grind manually and were up to snuff…

I imagine Madoka is indeed better on a second watch, since you’ll get a lot of things you wouldn’t on the first go, but I’m not sure I could even bring myself to watch it again. I wasn’t even really into the first run through it. I liked it fine and it had stuff I really did love - the music for one, the animation…

I’m not sure what he can even do with Eva anymore after the cluster 3.0 was. There’s a point something can reach where the entire cast is just so rock stupid you stop caring about anything that happens onscreen. Eva 3.0 hit that early. About the point Kaworu removed the bomb collar and then put it on himself I started…

It’s kind of nice to see coverage of games that are working out for a change. The coverage of just the failures made it seem like Kickstarters never deliver, which has been far from my experience. The eventual duds almost always have a couple serious red flags. At which point you don’t donate. Or, if you really want…

If you already know you’re wrong and going to get responses listing the numerous Kickstarters that worked, why would you ever double down and say the same thing again? Not only that, but sarcastically dismiss the call outs and ignore a couple responses that named dozens? Is a brief moment of snark REALLY worth coming…

The stuff about the “hardcore fans” hits way too close to home, because honestly, the super fans destroyed Star Wars for me.
