It’s just right if you’re an insufferable teenage mope like I was

I remember thinking Gundam Wing was the coolest freaking thing on the block when it first hit Toonami back in the late 90's. Even better than Dragonball Z, the gamechanger of animation in the USA.

most people don’t seem to understand this line at all. he’s not saying he’s going to personally murder her if she spends time with him. what he’s saying is that she should stay away from him so that she doesn’t become a casualty of war.

Midnight diner is originaly a manga, but it’s pretty simple in that format, the drama writers manage to make the character interactions more deep and the chapters more developed, in the manga masters explains almost all character dinamics to the reader, in the drama you see the relationships develop.

All I’m seeing is the header image guy’s freakishly white teeth. Like that episode of Friends.

The rising liquid always reminded me of the Bubblegum Act mouthwash for kids. Probably because I was an everyday user of it when Sonic 2 came out.

...and yet...

I’m more partial to the SNES version of Final Fantasy VI, as it looks and sounds better (the music especially is better on the SNES). The GBA script is not enough of an improvement for me to want to play the game on my DS instead of my SNES Classic, personally (a few scenes are clearer and some names are corrected in…

The game isn’t my favourite Fire Emblem, but it’s certainly more deserving of a spot on this list than Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (Fire Emblem is the better strategy game) or Final Fantasy VI (which I’d put on a list of the best SNES games).

I’m perpetually salty that we’ve got like 50 sword-weilding FE characters on Switch but no love for fucking Hector

I would say both Fire Emblem games for the GBA were great. The Sacred Stones was a bit cliche, but still pretty great overall.

OMG, I agree with everything you said here. I still find the battlefield gameplay of FE enjoyable, but I got so bored by the classroom management of Three Houses I still haven’t finished my first playthrough.

I don’t know if I’m going mad but I swear there used to be a big illuminated sign that read ‘Texas’ at some point but, as I didn’t spot it when playing the remaster, I assume it’s not a real memory. I do know there was a crashed F14 Tomcat at one point.

Because it has Zack, their beloved fanfiction fodder who only existed to be Aerith’s boyfriend. Though amusingly their Japanese voice actors (Kenichi Suzumura and Maaya Sakamoto) are actually married.

I think both Final Fantasy fans and PSP owners were pretty damn thirsty in 2007.

Thank you! I’ve been saying this for years! It was a good looking game that played well, but it had terrible writing! I’m convinced that people remember it fondly because the frankly incredible ending tricked enough people into retroactively thinking the rest of it was good.

“the majority of the writing is pretty piss, and revolves around there being a bunch of other characters who do the exact same things as the dudes in FF7 but more boring”

Yes, but also consider that in 2007, we’d never seen a handheld game with those kinds of production values, or relative “importance” to a franchise co…
