The director of this game is such an unabashed racist and a vocal gamergater. I wouldn’t play this game on principle alone.

I can’t stand the media in this country. EVERYTHING is fair game. It’s freaking disgusting. People need to put some pressure on that idiot Gretchen Carlson to issue an apology.

If I see any allusions to Crises Core I’m going to vomit. I want a remake of the original game without any of the crappy addenda they added on to make more money. In my world, all the characters died at the end of FF7, and I hope they keep the ambiguous ending.

They’ll probably cut out extraneous stuff like the side quest to get Vincent, and the whole fighting in a forest to get Yuffie, and possibly even side-quests like the crashed gelnika

God i hope they don’t do that. That’s sooooo tacky.

Cross dressing Cloud is a go.

Ah! Everything you just said!

Yoshinori Kitase is directing it again, so I’m hoping it can avoid that Crises Core, Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus deadly serious vibe because the original game was quirky (and dark), and I think that’s part of why it’s so special to so many people.

These appeals to nature from the right are so anti-intellectual. Yes we are (technically) animals, but humans fill a very different role in this world; furthermore, we’re self-aware, animals don’t have the ability to process what they’re doing, we do, so saying “x is because of nature” is such a lazy excuse. We’re…

I don’t think calling Rachel Dolezal racist is very charitable. There are people out there who have tried to deal real lasting damage to the black community, like Clarence Thomas. She’s absolutely effing insane and misguided, but I don’t think she’s racist.

Jews were slaves, Irish were slaves, almost every group of people at one time or another have been enslaved. During the trans-Atlantic slave trade various groups were enslaved, including Native Americans. Not trying to diminish the immediate damage of colonialism and the trans-Atlantic slave trade on people of black…

Yeah pretty bumbed about this, but iOS users have shitty phones, so I guess it all pans out pretty evenly.

According to BGR these are the reasons we get shafted:

I wonder how much of a problem we’re going to have with ethnic names. I’m sure there will be a lot of people out there, with ethnic names like me, that are going to feel very excluded in the whole pre-recorded name thing.

It’s like Square wants us to hate them, and as a kid that grew up on Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy I never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to.

The whole SE presser was kind of depressing. Even footage from KH3 couldn’t have made up for that.

It looks like they have one map done, and a little of that Twilight Town looking location.

No.

It was so funny when the fanboys started whooting and freaking out and they played this and then there was this awkward , hushed applause afterwards. I love Square.

1 NIER game wasn’t bad enough? Ughh this is off to a great start...
