Fantasian has a pretty good Mix in it, though that's a pretty reasonable exception given it's Sakaguchi directing a game inspired by replaying FF6.

I feel like a lot of Tidus hate is similar to Squall hate where they can't square the fact that internal monologues aren't said out loud and the character is socially aware enough to want to present an image but not internally match it 100%.

Still love that this was an official ad

And if you find the right place, the takeout portions are enough for like 1.5 meals so even then you're getting more than fast food.

Funniest game around, making sleep/berserk/silence infinite duration is insane.

I think the main thing it has going for it is you can really easily see the skeleton of good ideas all throughout. Like they got close to an FFT Ramza/Delita split going on between Clive and Joshua and just didn't lean into it. Kept me more engaged than bored, even if not satisfied.

And the best part is, if you make him do it he does it one handed with no problem

And it’s the sequel to a game that’s 12 years old. Most other games would need to drum up hype to get eyes back on them.

Apparently the PC version was region locked on Steam so that it couldn’t be bought in Japan. So they probably want to dip into that + Switch with this one, practically just a port.

Smirk’s really unbalanced. An extra press turn is a lot, that’s an extra 100% damage from another turn. Smirk doubles your damage and makes it crit on top (even magic), which gives another press turn. So that’s an extra 400% damage from one smirk.

I feel like some of the people working on Metroid stuff do know what a bounty hunter is, because otherwise they wouldn't make her ending screens involve hanging out in seedy bars.

You just gotta have your first experience in most new zones with clippy turned on.

It seems weird because even ending CGs in Zero Mission, a game Nintendo made, had Samus looking more like a scifi bounty hunter. She's hanging out in seedy bars in her downtime.

The voice outtakes they had as unlockable in the game were charming too.

It was really compelling as someone who never played KH1 or CoM at the time.

You're doing this to Schwartz and Kris

The old Ninja Gaiden OVA even had him in casual clothes + unmasked.

Huh, I thought Harp Sheik was really good, if only for the water shield. Being able to guaranteed block a hit of damage and reapply it made S ranking stages way easier.

I don't think he had enough awareness to be genuine. He has it reinforced that the only goal he accomplished was through acting, so he does everything again in the hopes it'd lay the groundwork for new purpose in his even more empty life than he had pre-Char.

That bit is so good that it's practically the only Silver Case merch Grasshopper sells on their online store.

I dunno, I think if it weren't paraded around by a media giant that can make it available, advertise it, and produce nonstop, it wouldn't have that kind of staying power.

I feel like you could find badly written books as easily as badly written game stories.
