“Still could turn out alright, but, wow, Square’s policy of “throw money at the problem” hasn’t worked out in their favor for the most part (though I guess FF14: A Realm Reborn shows it can work).”

So basically, it doesn’t work except for when it does. OK then.

The only downside to the iOS/Android port is that the translation is really good and makes complete and total sense. So, if you were looking for some really bad Engrish every time your party members come back from an errand, this is not the port for you.

Otherwise, you’ll love it. I think it was either $10 or $15 when…

In a perfect world, all TV would be nothing but Tiny House shows.

Kendall’s Kompact Kasa? Will totally watch.

Funny because I bought Rogue Galaxy from a closing Blockbuster for $6.99. And yet, I’ll probably pay $15 for it again. After trying to replay FFIX on an HDTV, it’s totally worth it for the extra money.

Consider yourself lucky you don’t get enough political fundraising emails to get it.

I just picked this up and it came as a DL code. The bundle I got was supposed to come with Final Fantasy Type-0 as well, but for some reason, it came with a physical copy of Assassin’s Creed in the box...and then FF Type-0, for free, in a separate shipment.

So, I guess what I’m saying is, anything could happen!!!!

The soundtrack was definitely the best part of that game. The rest of it...ugh. I forced my way through the main quest just so I didn’t feel bad about completely dropping it for Tales of Hearts R. I really wanted to like it, but the battles were just so damn unplayable...

Fucking hell dude, I have to use my ears for work and this is going to completely torpedo my productivity for the rest of the day. :-P

I would definitely add the Grandia soundtrack to this list. The main theme is one of my favorites of all time. Not to take away from the rest of the music because it’s all brilliant.

Very proud of this principled stand you made, despite probably knowing that you were going to get 647 “HERE OMG DRINK THIS INSTEAD NOT THAT GMO CORN SYRUP SWILL” recommendations. As someone who generally leans toward craft beer, I nonetheless agree that there is nothing better than a High Life on a hot day.

I suddenly found myself using Kimahri a lot more once I got his weapon. Which btw, does not involve building a robot to get, because there’s no way in hell I’m doing this lightning shit.

I have actually noticed the same thing. Honestly, it might be because it was one of the very first craft beers I tried, and now that I’ve had so many others, it just tastes old. I went through the same thing with Sam and Fat Tire too. And then there is Newcastle; 2006 me drank that shit religiously, while 2015 me…

Empire? The Americans? Silicon Valley? Orange Is The New Black? Kimmy Schmidt? Transparent? Sons Of Anarchy? Fresh Off The Boat?

I don’t think it’s as rare as you think. Though I will say that broadcast networks are really more for popcorn viewing these days. And meanwhile, I know for a fact that European and British…

Yuuuup. I moved cross-country when I was halfway through it and have not picked it back up since. This was nine and a half years ago.

Aw crap, now every hair on the back of my head is standing straight up. Thanks a lot!

...I think that’s the joke though, right? Poe’s Law strikes again.

I’m just playing FFX for the first time (college, totally missed the boat on it), and I’m pleasantly surprised that the random battles actually REQUIRE you to use magic and skills if you don’t want your ass completely handed to you.

I knew about the Americanizations under Woolsey, but I figured that the reason why CT and FFVI fared better is because they had much bigger carts (I believe FFVI was 24mbts and CT was 32?)

But that’s a lot more in depth. Thanks for that.

Hahah! Well to be fair, I’m mostly joking. Sounds like it is actually worth grabbing so maybe I’ll do just that! It’ll be nice to spam someone that’s not Orleandeau too.

If I remember correctly, the reason for that was limited cart or window space, right?

YES.

“I got a good feeling! This is the way!”

I’m almost scared to play the War of the Lions retranslation because I know I’d be bummed that they fixed everything.
