I haven’t heard that before but it’s not surprising.

I get it, but to be fair, even in the original FF7 her in-game menu portrait clearly showed her human ears

I love Final Fantasy and have played almost the entire series to completion and this is dumb. There are a lot more games out there than Final Fantasy, especially in 2024, and having not played any of a single series is not an absurd prospect for someone who otherwise still likes games.

There’s a much stronger argument to remove Star Wars from the list than there is to add Avatar The Last Airbender to it

Interesting theory but I think it applies a little better to Adventure Time

I’m not going to fight you on this, but it’s mostly because I don’t have enough hard evidence about Final Fantasy VIII. I never beat it (it’s the only non-MMO main series Final Fantasy with that distinction until 16), around the time that the second disc started, I just wasn’t feeling the story or characters (or…

Even as a kid, I simply did not understand how the Jedi so greatly misinterpreted the “chosen one” prophecy. It was so obvious - you believed Anakin would “bring balance to the Force”, so why would you think that he would destroy the Sith? There are thousands of Jedi and they occupy one of the most prestigious…

The list is specific to sci-fi.

I love Aang but sci-fi he is not.

Yeah, obviously checking the app for the price is certainly an option, but not one the VAST majority of customers are currently taking advantage of (nor should they have to). If I’m about to go into the drive thru, I don’t usually go and park instead, pull out my phone, hope for a good signal, and check the Wendy’s…

I could very easily see this being something like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which was both the last big first-party game on the Wii U and a launch title on the Switch (or Twilight Princess, coming out at the end of the GameCube and the beginning of the Wii). If the Switch 2 (which, reminder, has never been officially…

I’m just imagining the reaction when someone at 12:30 is rolling through the drive thru and doesn’t see until they get to the menu that the prices have surged way high. You can of course still choose not to order anything, but now you’ve waited in line for several minutes and it’s going to be several more minutes…

People keep including the “they can lower prices at times of lower demand” part but like they can do that by itself. I’ve seen a few places (most notably Sonic) have cheaper “happy hour” prices in the afternoon, usually 2pm until 4 or 5pm. And the great thing about this is that they advertise it, so you can actually…

Typically I would think of “simultaneously worldwide” referring to the game being released in Japan, the US, Europe, and everywhere else on the same day. However, this isn’t the 90s, in 2024 I tend to assume a big game like Pokemon with international appeal will be released on the same day regardless, so it seems odd…

I just want to point out that “Nintendo Switch systems” doesn’t necessarily mean anything regarding the Switch 2 - there are currently three “Nintendo Switch systems”, the OG Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch Lite, and the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model). This may well be a Switch 2 launch title or whatever, but this…

I also gotta think that the name Z-A ties into the X/Y character AZ, the immortal man who lived 3000 years earlier and worked to revive his beloved Floette. They definitely wouldn’t be setting the game 3000 years ago and building (or rebuilding) Lumiose City, but I’m also not sure if a “Legends” game would make sense…

Totally fair, the man is a legend and has more than earned whatever turns he wants to take with his career.

No, that’s how people keep excusing this, because they see him as “just a YouTuber” or whatever and because he has a silly internet name. He is a powerful businessman with a lot of money, power, and influence and he thinks that he can do whatever he wants (because, largely, he can in our society).

There’s a difference between this and your standard bigwig, though.
