Great read. Props for your writing & appreciation of this game. This is why I got a Wii U, loved the previous game. The story is indeed a bit lacking (although a major twist did surprise me later in the game), not as engaging to me as the one before, but the world & game play really are phenomenal! Finally on Chapter…

But I think the whole reason it works is because it’s on the Wii U, seriously - best use of the gamepad, so much that playing on other systems w/o the gamepad feels lacking, in my head I’m like “why don’t they all have one?!” It’s so useful! Also it has that feel of a developer pushing a system to it’s limits, making…

In other words, new short based on Laputa, Castle in the Sky scene...

Feels like them adding space zombie creatures or whatever is equivalent to them “jumping the shark”, also I can see why Hideo left if they had suggested this to him.

Hmm, as a food lover & former sushi chef, I feel that there’s always been a connection between food & sex. This is why some foods are considered aphrodisiacs. There’s been several movies made that touch on the subject, Tampopo, Like Water for Chocolate, 9 1/2 Weeks, etc. And c’mon, really amazing food can totally be…

The TurboDuo was always my favorite looking system.

Right on, pretty cool, but yeah - if she addressed the working conditions and had improving the conditions/pay as part of her campaign it might just work. I think w/o addressing it she would just garner resentment from the workers slaving away at making all the anime... like, oh great, create more work to overburden…

They should have just made these characters the new team for the movie, a nice male/female balance. Why’s it gotta be all one or the other?

Berserk! Oh... It’s CGI. Nevermind. As good as they’ve gotten with it, Sidonia, Ajin, Bubunki Buranki, it still feels like watching video game cut scenes.

The Dreamcast game ;)

wow, didn’t know that happened, that’s ‘deadmau5 & Kaskade - I Remember’, crazy.

I hope the HD re-release helped make up for the initial poor sales, at this point (similar to Psychonauts), everyone should know it’s a fantastic game worth playing. And if you haven’t played it, do yourself a favor and grab the HD re-release, totally worth playing or replaying, I think I grabbed it on PSN for under…

All I want to know at this point, since I’m guessing everything is real-time, no CGI? [hopefully], will your outfits actually change appearance to match whatever armor you just bought/found & equipped? That bugs the hell out of me... and previous FF games are guilty of this, (up until Lightning Returns, but that was…

wooord. this was, in many ways, FF perfected to me & the one I probably enjoyed the most (I played the original, not Intl. ver.). Which of course left XIII feeling that much worse... I still feel like they hit the nail on the head with art, design, world, gameplay, characters, most everything! I wish they would just…

um, cool graphics and animation, zero clue to actual gameplay, the cheesy laser zap sound though... ugh, can’t someone find/make a better sound for lasers by now? also, totally got bored 1/2 way through the trailer.

big surprise, not! westerners screwing up Asian culture strikes again!

nostrils? nope (why?!), ps3 version, yes, oh, i mean nope (US), so me playing it looks like a nope.

Resident Evil, oh wait there’s several of them that were all good action flicks + Milla Jovovich = win. These are the only enjoyable/successful video game adaptations I can think of. Be cool to see Tomb Raider rebooted like the new game reboots. Uncharted maybe? Already cinematic / Indiana Jones (as is TR). Metal…

whoa! my interest has been rekindled

like an old school game system physical or PC/PS4 physical?
