This.  SO much this.  I was exhausted by the time I got to Sussex and the game just kept GOING!  I almost wish the game had been worse so I could have just skipped it all, especially because of how it messed with the pacing of the Sigurd plot.  But there I was at the 120 hour mark and they’re like “Hey, you want to go…

Uhhh, ‘better’ is one way to put it.  The overworld is gone completely.  Instead you have a snappy map to pick locations from.  As someone who actually really enjoyed the weird janky overworld from 1, it is objectively smoother and doesn’t really miss much.

Buuuut they might as well be asking if the earth is getting rays from the sun... at no point has there ever been any possibility, vague or otherwise, that she wouldn’t get money from this.  It’s her IP.  I think the top commenter is being a little too confrontational but they’re right in that you can’t get a scoop of…

Did you mean to reply to the comment above me???

THANK YOU! Get so tired of people saying “oh the main character should have been Balthier/Baasch” when it’s literally Ashe’s story and conflict the entire way through.

So you’re saying that my purchase of this game from over a year ago doesn’t guarantee me a free copy of it on future systems they might port it to? WHAT A RIP!

See “I predicted one of the twists” is different from “the plot was predictable”. 

You feel like the story was PREDICTABLE???  Like that’s categorically not something that could be disproved because it’s subjective to your predictions but.... what?

On the one hand, I don’t like this business practice. On the other hand, I’m gonna be part of the problem this time because yeah, I’ll give another 40 dollars to Control.

Yikes.  Hope that’s inaccurate because I like Dante and all but not enough to bench Raidou

Is he? I thought he wasn’t in the original and got added for the NA release, then replaced with Raidou when JP got an updated version later.  I was under the assumption Raidou was in this version, with this looking like a DLC purchase to add Dante in.

Because you don’t get to decide who you work with, and despite being ‘cancelled’, Louis CK still has the same kind of pull with the community now that he did back when fear of reprisal let him get away with the shit he did then. Even if they DIDN’T want to be seen with him, they’re not in a position to really make a…

Geniuses like you, you mean.

Wow, poor guy. It sounds like for the lowly crime of leveraging his fame and power in the community to sexually harass some people, he might be doomed to just a meager upper middle class lifestyle if this keeps up, with only his rich and powerful friends to support him.

This is some refreshingly straightforward communication and I really like that they’re trying new stuff while sticking to their partnership with Nintendo.

I’m really glad that this game helped the author reflect on their struggles with gender identity and I’d never knock anyone’s personal experience with something because it’s personal. Heck, if this article was “Fire Emblem’s Byleth resonated with me as a NB person” I wouldn’t have even thought to say anything.

I thought it was that if the offspring was stable and viable, the two parents were the same species?

Good for them. Some talented folks working on those stories!

It’ll be some other word that starts with R.  One of the games will eventually be FF7 Reunion.

Okay, but I briefly read “No More Heroes 3 Bravely Default II” as one name and now I can’t help but picture some weird action-RPG mash up of the two where you play Travis and a lot of the party interaction is them being disgusted by Travis.
