I wonder if he memorizes the Japanese voices and their cues or the English voices and their cues.

Though to play in a tournament setting I imagine he may have had to familiarize himself with both.

I already predicted this for months that this was going to be a disaster not because of White-Washing (because Major’s cybernetic body has no race and half of Section 9 is composed of foreigners) but because the trailers showed Major to be yet another Jason Bourne / Robocop / Total Recall sort of character who was…

Okay, I don’t pay attention to Pewdiepie so you probably know a lot on the topic than I do. I won’t justify his transgressions.

But honestly speaking people are only human. There’s no way for example streamers to be perfect for several hours every day if they stream for that much.
Eventually they might say a slur that…

There is no definite good or evil here the way your trying to put it.
People are just human. People make slips of the tongue they don’t really mean often.

If you can’t acknowledge that people can say stupid things at the heat of the moment and if you can’t be willing to bother forgiving people who slip-up...who’s the…

Some of these events are slip-ups and some of these are how they really feel, but everyones entitled to their own opinions on topics.

Maybe someone really is homophobic and they let it slip out by accident.

People are human and naturally don’t feel comfortable around what they don’t understand. A lot of isolated White…

Like...you don’t seem to understand trashtalking in competition if you’re saying you’re “above it”.

Trashtalking at its very nature is toxic. Most times it isn’t “civil”. It’s meant in many sports to disturb the mind of the opponent as well as to rile up your fans. Obviously the range of things you can say to your…

I just mentioned Pewdiepie as a prime example of repercussions.
He supposedly had a great career built on streaming but people will only remember him for his “Death to Jews” chant.

And the case and point of Pewdiepie is somewhat unique because the context of the situation was more or less something you’d see on…

I never exactly excused Trashtalking. But its uses in competition. Most times its used to unsettle an opponent.

Trashtalking by its nature is unfiltered gutter speak to an opponent. Of course its going to sound and can only range from bad to worse.

For starters. For players in actual sports, repercussions for trashtalking are not really that severe...considering repercussions for far worse like players beating their wives aren’t too severe. Suspensions from a few games even when they’re guaranteed to be in more games during the season as well as fines that are…

Have you ever played sports in school? Even as early as Little League in Baseball, half of your time spent in the bleachers is taunting the other team’s batter or pitcher.

Trashtalking also helps build up a persona in Fighting sports. There are all sorts of uses for Trashtalking in competition.

This is..somewhat crazy. Sports is all about trashtalking and trashtalking can sometimes devolve into slurs as well as fights.

However, with E-sports one moment of stupidity on a guy’s stream and the repercussions can be quite severe.

I sort of feel bad for how internet culture has gotten so utterly rigid & intolerant…

Did you just watch the online match above where the streamer guy was playing against Balrog where he was dominant, in the lead with Akuma and then slipped up once with Akuma and watched as his healthbar went from above 60% to 0 without him being able to do anything?

I’m surprised you didn’t point out that this Camilla is going to be the first Flying Spellcaster in the game. (She’s actually this game’s first flying ranged unit too)That’s potentially gamebreaking as long as Camilla’s tome isn’t horrible and her stats aren’t bad.

But yes, Blue Caster Lucina is going to probably be…

He’s using sarcasm...which is probably not the response you give as a professional writer to your audience. He probably thinks he’s being dank & funny.

Well that doesn’t make level that much more interesting.
Like I keep on saying basic voicework for NPCs of different races is just a common feature nowadays in MMORPGs. It doesn’t need to be specific.
Talking to a moogle and him actually saying “Hello, Kupo” can make a world of difference in immersion.

But yeah obviously…

Okay, that’s fine then. I just spoke from how ARR was 2 years ago.
Maybe they made improvements, but I didn’t get back into it because ARR 2 years ago was a slow, uninteresting grind.

Maybe if you’re a veteran of the game you can level up fast, but as someone new to the game most aspects of the game was just like WOW…

Yep. But they revamped WoW over the years to make leveling new player friendly. You can get your mount at level 20 in WoW now...and actually if you play alts in WoW, you can literally earn a Motorcycle mount with a Chaffeur who’ll drive the motorcycle for you while you’re in the sidecar that can be used at level 1.

Beats me, I haven’t played in 2 years. The grind in the early levels was rather boring with the lack of voicework coming out of NPCs so I only did a little bit of dungeoning before I got bored with the game.

Sorry if I misremember? I just got bored with tedious amounts of boring grind quests because I’m used to each…

No I played ARR. My problem is I’ve just been spoiled by MMORPGs that start you off better.

There’s a severe lack of voicework in the world of FFIV. Most MMORPGs sort of feature generic voicework for every NPC (usually you get some sort of greeting if you click on them) and it really does kill the immersion experience…

You think I’m complaining about the level grind but I’m not as much.

There are just a crazy amount of quality of life features WoW has that FF doesn’t.

And I complained about the utter lack of Voicework on NPCs(except cutscenes) because that sort of just adds to the ambiance of exploring the world.
Like they don’t even…
