Yup yup yup.  I tried playing it once, and I just couldn’t do it.  

In The Groove 2 was my jam back in highschool, largely due to the local arcade shop modding it so that people could just upload custom songs, and then eventually they managed to put nearly every version of DDR in that cabinet anyways.

Good times.  Good times.

I feel like they’ve been saying that for, like, years.  It was more than 10 years ago when those Youtube episodes came out and people were talking about a live-action Mortal Kombat film--and then nothing happened?

If we’re ever gonna get another live-action film, they should just get Timo Tjahjanto to do it.  The Night Comes For Us is probably the goriest action film I’ve ver seen, and he’d probably be a good fit for some great fatalities.

Also: you’re right about the music being objectively great.  I basically went out of my way to buy all those songs from the vendors because I liked a lot of the jazz renditions of music I pretty much know by heart.

I actually feel the opposite in regards to the games expansion of the Midgard sections of the original game. REMAKE falls into the trap that a lot of other remakes tend to fall into and it’s operating under the notion that “more is better.” If we add more plotlines to this game, you’ll care more right? If we gave…

I do think it actually works better in REMAKE than it did in XV. Largely because the mundane aspects of Midgar fits with its “eco-terrorist vs. Capitalists” storyline.

Whereas XV is just...yeah, I found the aesthetic of that game to be completely baffling.

nope nope. Stop with the LOTR comparisons because it doesn’t work. Lord of the Rings was always a trilogy, Final Fantasy VII is not. It was always one game.

A better comparison is The Hobbit. You know that movie where they took what was once a single book and stretched it out to be three movies?


sounds familiar, doesn’t…

I’m pretty mixed on REMAKE in general, but Wall Market is the standout section of the game.  It’s probably the one area I could say is better here than in the original.  

The game wants to do something different, even as a cadre of fans want it to be the same thing they’ve always loved.

Just as weird that in cutscenes, Cloud can pull off a bunch of anime bullshit and leap across buildings and shit.

Ingame, you can’t even climb up a box.

oh so precious.

Best: IX. It’s the culmination of the PS1 era where Squaresoft was at its most creative high. It’s fun and whimsical in a way that Final Fantasy games apparently are no longer allowed to be since they’re now determined to solely be the fever-dream of a 13 year old edgelord.

Worst: All of modern day Final Fantasy. It’s…

And it would not surprise me at all if Sony might be wary releasing a game about a post-apocalyptic world where a virus completely decimates society during a time where we’re apparently not even close to “how bad this is going to get.”

Unfortunately, we’re probably going to be with this pandemic for awhile, like into 2021. The hope is that we can delay things so we can buy time for more resources, more rooms to house the sick, and better ways to treat the virus.

Yeah, there’s no way we’re getting new consoles this year.

Yeah...it seemed like the Big three were just waiting to see who blinked first. Guess it was Sony.

And that’s the thing that pisses me off about it. There is no way they didn’t know that the costs would have been prior to making those changes. It’s fucking money.

So unless we hear otherwise, the developers were allowed to believe that they could potentially gain a shit ton of money through bonuses; they were not…

Wanna know why Pitchford keeps doing this? CAUSE YOU KEEP BUYING THE GAMES.

I really don’t like how this game looks.  Compared to the other series and Octopath Traveler, it looks lifeless.
