Honestly, I saw a theory musing if the game could literally be an isekai version of FF1.

I.e.: literally Mundane Modern Earth Humans Somehow Dumped Into FF1's World to take the roles of it’s Warriors of Light.

Which might explains why that one character going “Yes! We are the Warriors of Light! Totally” felt so akward…

Looking by the illustrations of them with modern day clothes, I’ve seen people wonder if the “story” isn’t literally “actually what if we made a FF1 isekai and dumped Literal Modern Day Humans into FF1?”

That might explains the almost akwardkness of the lither guy borderline going “Yeah, we’re totally the warriors of…

One theory I saw noted somewhere is that this might literally be “Final Fantasy 1... the Isekai” and these characters might be *literal* mundane earth characters.... dumped into the world of Final Fantasy 1.

Honestly if that’s the case it’d at least upgrade my interest from “slightest level of curiosity” to “mildly…

Admitedly that’s “confirmed”. That doesn’t mean later updates couldn’t confirm other games to release in 2021 once they feel confident enough to.

Plus if anything in there’s coming to Switch there’s heavy chances of it showing up in Nintendo Directs if not outright published by Nintendo itself for that console in the…

Mechanics wise, I’d say it’s the entry where the series really got it’s stride and very much set the norms of every titles that followed(particularly in terms of character roles, spells, etc).

Story wise, I’d say it depends on a couple of factors. On one hand, all your characters(except for the hero) are from a…

With “added surprises” even, which make it sounds like they could be overhauled somewhat more than just visually.
Makes me wonder if this could mean stuff like 1 being made larger and/or see stuff like party members added or such, like more fleshed-out story.

In fact that’s perhaps my only “worry” with the remake of 3…

One thing I’ve noted is that announcements of ports were strangely absent. Albeit not that strangely.

Many people were hoping for port of the DS remakes of 4-5-6 as well as a port of 8 but instead the presentation was truly all about brand new games. Even the remake of 3 is one using brand new graphics engine/etc…

It’s actually been confirmed they did. Some of Octopath Traveler’s own team is working on this.

As mentioned by someone else: “the information on the *online* update was actively labelled as ‘not for worldwide release’ while this wasn’t”

And the devs frequently hinted in the past that if DQX ever made it west, it’d be as “something akin to an offline version” which this could very well be.

And this said: all of…

Honestly they always hinted that if DQX came west, it would be as “something like an offline mode” and... this could well be it. Could run great on a Switch by the look of it too.

I have to say, while I’m bummed about no confirmed western release for DQX: Offline, I do like that they nonetheless confirmed not just western release but *simultaneous* worldwide releases(aka: no frigging release delays) for all of DQ III 2D-HD remake, DQ Treasure and DQ 12.

Not sure if any releases this 2021(if any…

Considering that one of the things the Switch did was not “AAA games ported to Nintendo console” but “indie games(something Valve was/is known for) available on nintendo console” because of how well indie game sensations have adapted to Switch it sometimes felt like Switch was (unwittingly or not) “competing” with…

If it means anything, I recall playing NNK2 on PS4 a while back and the action battle is kind of... smoother/freer than the Tales of Vesperia style? If anything I’d compare it more to the recent Trials of Mana’s in the way you can (if I recall well) jump and even roll dodge around.

I’m saying this as someone who both…

Honestly I’m not sure what is it with the building in Valheim but there’s definitely something that just *click* with me when I play this game and I think it’s the way they avoid the “blockiness” of other games that even Conan Exiles and others can stumble into.

Like a lot of other game depends on “foundation” blocks…

Honestly though the big matter is that stuff like re: Apple/etc can’t be taken to task on their puritanism as long as these laws exists to provide them the cover of “just following the law”.

And to add more context context: according to Obscenity Laws within some of the USA’s own states, sales of even stuff like just sex toys are literally officially banned in places like (apparently) Mississipi, Alabama and Virginia.

So it really is not just foreign countries like China that is the motivation behind this…

Tbh, while we love to rant about Apple we should start taking a look at stuff like Obscenity Laws in the US and Canada which a lot of the puritan companies like Apple and credit card companies use as justification for their puritan BS under the excuse of “not wanting to go aground of the law” :

United States obscenity…

The internationalization of the internet, but specifically that of commercial platforms like there, means shit is increasingly liable to run aground of some kind of bullshit legislation *somewhere* across the world.

Not only that, but even places like the United States and even CANADA of all places still have bullshit…

Same to be quite honest. I would LOVE a Builders 3(especially if it follows Builders’ trend of building upon the legacy of the original trilogy and expanding on it because holy gosh a Builders game based on Dragon Quest 3 has potential up the wazoo) but I also know that for now it’s likely the more unlikely of the…

Honestly even if the point Apple is trying to make is about how “consistent” Epic Games are in their comments/policies, I still feels that them suddenly bringing up Itch.io(a platform of user-generated content that has become the go-to for many *queer* erotica/etc creators) still tells a lot more about APPLE than it…
