Nah, too much of 7r assumes you played the original.

Best entry point is probably 6 (or 10, depending on how important graphics are to you.) 6 isn’t my favorite FF, but it’s a super solid overall complete package that still holds up well even by today’s standards, making it a good starting point for someone who’s not already a fan of the series.

FFIV, it’s the game that set the standard of storytelling through the trauma of loss that is a theme of the series; it’s the game where Final Fantasy found its voice. I’m partial to the GBA version for its much improved localization over the SNES version while keeping the graphics intact as well as the soundtrack (for…

Final Fantasy X so they can properly play the best one, Final Fantasy X-2. /thread

While I never lost a substantial amount of time, there were more than a few occasions where I lost a handful of hours of progress because I switched to another game before planting a hard save.

OHHHHH an “X number of things” post that isn’t a slideshow, thanks for that! Good to know about the autosave.

Its the MMO thing all over again. Everyone was trying to get inon that sub money WoW had - and no one could really do it. Everyone one of them spent a ton of money and fizzled. It took how many years and a massive reboot before FFXIV came along?? That is a lot of studio time and money dumped in the trash heap.

We’ve reached a point in the games industry where trends are moving faster than development cycles, and the results are calamitous.

Years of losing hours of progress to a program crashing on me have conditioned me to never trust autosaves in any program/game that gives me a manual save. Ever. They can tell me that the autosave is super frequent and incredibly stable and I will still manually save every 10-15 minutes if it allows me to save freely.…

This. FF7 was the first game I put over 100 hours in getting everything before finishing. I remember golden Choco breeding taking a massive amount of time  and probably have a couple hours alone in watching Bahamut Zero’s animation

“never meant to be this long”?
I spent about countless hours in the original FF, doing all kinds of quests, grinding to lvl 99 before the final confrontation, trying to get every Materia possible, golden Chocobo breeding... the list was endless.
How can a remake be “too long”?
I mean - it is FF7, most people who buy…

I think they could’ve continue making movies, but a lot got derailed with Chadwick Boseman’s death. After endgame, the MCU lost its 2 biggest stars and characters. Sure, Hemsworth got charisma, but the core of the plot in the MCU in the Infinity Saga hanged on Iron Man and Captain America’s stories.

Endgame had some stellar goose bump inducing moments, but ultimately felt like a lackluster sequel to Infinity War and middling conclusion to the multi-film buildup.

he is though. I mean he was brought back multiple times like loki. I’d say recast. wouldnt be the first time. I mean, both Edward Norton and Terrance Howard

They’d rather drop the whole thing and write off as much as they can for tax purposes than acknowledge that Jonathan Majors had any part of the MCU. Keeping Kang in his current state would mean that Major’s roles are canon to the current MCU storyline.

Just recast Kang. We’ve already seen that he can take many forms as seen in the Council of Kangs scene.

As with most mainstream voice over gigs, it’s a recognizable name who can hit all the late night shows and social to promote the film and hopefully hook people going into “I don’t know what Borderlands is, but I like Jack Black, so sure, I’ll see it”

Pretty much. The images look fine to me and I think this is perfectly capable of being a fun movie, much like Jumanji.

I dunno Zack, kinda feels like you’ve lost track of what joy is in general. Like, this is the kind of overreaction Kotaku used to mock back in its heyday.

I also consider myself to be a Borderlands fan. These photos look about like what I was expecting. It’s not clear from the article why they disappointed you. The vibe of the solo shot is “Lilith has an attitude,” which we all knew. And the vibe of the group shot is, “There’s something in that hole.” They’re not the…
