I found that I liked FF13 more the second time I played through it, when I wasn’t focused on what it wasn’t. The story/concepts certainly make more sense once you’ve seen it, anyways. Sure, it’s no Bioware or Naughty Dog game, but maybe I’ve seen too much anime to be bothered by the characters.

I don’t know man, about the only things I can think that VP and FF13-3 had in common was that Lightning was essentially a Valkyrie and saving souls, but they don’t join you in battle - no noble einherjar coming to anyone’s side :( 

Based on the towns they showed in the trailer, it looks to be set in the same world, though I suppose it could be a different dimension or time.

To each their own. I personally love music in games (my workout mix is almost entirely video game music), but my wife plays almost exclusively with no sound at all.

I’ve been giving Undertale a shot finally, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the deadpan, random humor.

Just let me get a chip in my arm already.

Plus the Moon/EDI mission is where you get your class change/upgrade!

Cavill and the others shouldn’t look like video-game Geralt, et al. because this show isn’t based off of the video games, nor is CDPR remotely involved.

Well, at least it means I can actually use and level Aerith in my party for the whole game, since... you know.

Here’s to hoping the series isn’t dead!

As someone who currently lives in Denver, but lived in SLC (I went to the U of U), the access to the mountains in SLC is sooo much better than it is here. You can technically live in “Denver” (like Aurora or Parker), and still be over an hour from the real foothills... and that’s with lucky traffic. I miss the 10-20…

I sometimes wonder if there’s something wrong with me as to how much video game and anime music I like listening to, though that’s partially due to how much less understanding friends I’ve had than the one mentioned in your story here! When I was in college, I would listen to Advent Children and Final Fantasy music to…

Honestly, I got bored with this one, and not because it’s Mario and not “serious”. I love me some XCOM and many, many SRPGs, but I honestly enjoyed Pokemon Conquest more than this one. It’s just one easy battle after the next. Every shot is either 0%, 50%, or 100%. Walking and wandering in the spaces between battles…

Didn’t the first round of the NBA playoffs used to have a best of 5?  I seem to recall that as a kid.  Maybe the NBA should just go back to that.

I thought we knew this answer? Clearly it’s Power Armor Training.

I’m with you man, as I still carry my Vita in my work backpack for breaks, and I even own a Switch ;) Thanks to the hacking scene (I hacked my PSP as well back in the day), my Vita is still my favorite console. Nothing like firing up some classic 8-bit and 16-bit games on the go.

The poor Motavians in Molcum...

I completely agree as well. I’ve tried a few Phantasy Star Onlines, Portables, and even Nova, but I would sure love another turn-based Phantasy Star again, preferably in the I/II/IV timeline. I think a V would be great, but I get why that might be disingenuous to IV’s ending.  I’d even take another parallel story like…

I was expecting this too.  I mean, Dissidia NT is a fake game, right?

I’m making a double-decker couch when I get home now.
