This is a bad take, imo. If you like the game, play it. If you’d rather write your Pathfinder campaign, write it. Neither is competing to take attention away from the other, you just are hitting the time management needed to juggle the two. If you can’t make the time for both or you feel friction from giving the game…

I understand the sentiment but I think it’s worth remembering that the number of people actively a D&D campaign (or any TTRPG) is dwarfed by the number of people that are going to play BG3. And then compare that to the number of people who are currently GM-ing. It’s not a unique situation, but it’s definitely...…

On the other hand, having such a large quicksave slot count means that most players are going to not realize that the older quicksaves to get cycled out.

Right? What next, we’re suggesting that people who used to stay logged in and by the computer for literally days at a time in EverQuest were “real men” and people who play FFXIV are just “snowflakes” because aren’t camping for days, grinding for months, enduring multi-hour-long boss fights and so on?

“When us old folks were playing Diablo II we could go for days, weeks or even months before seeing a “unique” (which roughly equate to Legendries in D3/D4). It was a massive special event to even get one.”

Its epic. Just act 1 is 60 hours of content in early access with more expected in the full game. There are 4 acts!
With completely different stories depending on how you play it, what sides you chose , what rolls you get. Combat is great and very D&G, dialogue options are diverse and allow you to roll play your…

Man, there is a lot of yards between those 2 goal posts, but your not helping your case at all.

Last time I upgraded my PC, I priced up parts, and a prebuilt actually worked out cheaper. It was during the RAM shortage though, so I’m guessing RAM by itself got hit harder.

Zero need? WHY? How does that make sense, other than sentimentality?

This is going to have wide-reaching negative consequences for future players who are going to have a really hard time finding VERY SPECIFIC information about the game or asking very specific questions. Most people don’t want to have an endless list of discords just to ask the occasional question.

Not at all, because Final Fantasy is not the NFL in the same way that it isn’t Call of Duty.  This isn’t a franchise that’s beholden to yearly (or biyearly) releases.

Not the same thing. The NFL game doesn’t do a bait-and-switch on you and instead trots out two curling teams. FF16 advertised well in advance, that this was an action focused title. I saw no bait and switch.

Yes it is. You menioned Bond, and that’s in my wheelhouse so...

I don’t know that it is divisive, at least not by the majority of people (or at least not that that’s the right word). I’m not saying it’s not a Final Fantasy game or that Final Fantasy games can’t be action-y, I’m saying I like old school turn-based JRPGs and this isn’t that. I’m skipping FF16 in the same way I…

I would say it has newer final fantasy fans arguing, or lapsed. FF has always been a franchise of wild swings (the name literally comes from it being the last game square was launching before going bankrupt, hence the final fantasy).

If ever there was a YOLO franchise, its this one. Every time they find a groove, they…

Final Fantasy is a Japanese science fantasy anthology media franchise created by Hironobu Sakaguchi and developed and owned by Square Enix (formerly Square).

I’ve not finished FFXVI, I’ve only just unlocked limit breaks, so I’ve got a long way to go.

It’s fascinating to me that this “it’s not a REAL Final Fantasy!” discussion is coming off the recent release of FF7 Remake, and the even more recent trailer for part 2 which has only doubled-down on the action aspects...yet the reception for 7 was largely good (except from the traditionalists like myself who were…

People said the same thing with RE7. “It’s not a resident evil if it’s an FPS!”. Yet after playing it, almost everyone agrees that it was probably the most RE game that we got recently.
