I was about to comment on that, but you beat me to it, so I’ll star your post instead :)

Wait, we’re talking about a single 12 minutes episode? What kind of storytelling can you even fit in that, or 30 minutes for that matter. Why would anyone even bother with that in the first place?

I could actually think of a comedic “what if” alternate scenario, accessible only after the game’s been completed normally, where Sephiroth would stumble and miss Aerith and instead fall on his sword and die. The next few hours would lead into unusual takes on well-known scenes where Aerith being alive causes more…

Here’s your Aerith Lives route:

I’d eat that.

Apple Kid > Orange Kid

Yeah, but seeing how you can easily return home for a quick free meal and save at that point in the game, it’s a little less likely it will happen this early in the game :). Absolutely possible, still.

I kinda agree with you, but this would be kind of a weird thing to put in place for most games and there’s a good reason NOT to do this also...

About the “phoning your parents” mechanics, there’s a status effect that you don’t get early on in the game, but starts appearing later on when you’ve been away from home for a long time. It’s called “homesick” and only Ness can suffer from it. When Ness is homesick, he’ll be too bummed out to perform in battle and…

Agreed!

What do you mean RIP? Silent Hill isn’t dead! Konami has some exciting plans for the franchise. They have many more sequels and spin-offs planned and they will make tons of money off of it!

Most of the time in multiplayer games, your own character’s movement is rendered locally, while your client needs to obtain other players’s position (and the ball, in this case) from the server. Your vehicle’s position on your screen is not obtained from the server, that would cause a back-and-forth of data that would…

Wasn’t this featured in the last Highlight Reel? or another similar situation?

Inb4 “Violent Video Games” are pointed blamed as responsible for the incident, with no one questioning gun ownership having any part to play in it.

There’s nothing that looks less like a heart than an upside-down heart. That always ends up looking more like a butt or a nutsack.

My desktop PC formerly running Windows 7 has had all sorts of trouble after the free upgrade to Windows 10, from an insanely long black screen before login screen to Avira AntiVir’s “Avira Service Host” service not launching automatically (but launching fine when I do it manually), and nVidia graphics drivers that…

Meanwhile, every triple A publisher out there has some bigwigs thinking they know better than everyone else (gamers included) what gamers want, and shelfing indefinitely the best IPs out there in favour of smartphone cash-grabs.

For the record, this is roughly how Final Fantasy XIV opted to handle flying mounts in the Heavensward areas: explore the ground first and find the aether currents in the air, THEN you can fly all you want in the area (with new paths and new content opening up once the area is “flyable”)

you’re mixing things. Not the same girl.

Considering people can re-position practically all UI elements to their likings in FFXIV:ARR, it’d be hard to identify any meaningful mouse traveling. Maybe if you have people use exclusively the default UI positions for the study?
