I would have been hyped for Divinity if it had like... an ounce of gameplay.
They announced a game without telling even what genre it is, or its placement plot wise in the series. Kinda salty you can just have glitter in the eyes as a game announcement without actually showing game

At least EA doesn't seem to be involved? Saw only Lucasfilm and Arganaut studios logos, so it has at least that going on for.

Remembered a recent post from composer of OG PvZ, where she lamented how in currently available version, her dynamic music for missions doesn't work anymore and it just loops one variant (Only intense or only calm, for example).

Seems like a few of Square plans didn't go as expected (Like Mobile division, considering how they released and closed games), so FF14 was able to pull a few resources its way.
Well, let's hope board doesn't get any other funny ideas. Again

Corporate are big and slow. It is hard to make them *react*. If anything, the fact that schedule budged at all due to Mare situation is a rare one

It didn't allow to bypass service completely (In most cases), but it did allow to start at higher rank.
This caused a lot of problems for officer corps later on, as well as general nobility power

You can notice how martial prowess started to go into background for nobles and how it was harbinger for their downfall - for example, in Russia, nobles started bypassing parts of mandatory mil.service by enlisting children as *fetuses*. So they technically started serving while not even being born.

Are being "not about the money" is weirdly new notion - for centuries, wealth and rich patrons knew to pay their artists. Hell, they sometimes paid education in full to have an artist on active retinue.
"Poor artist" being romanticized is certainly weird.

When SM2 came out, it felt in a lot of ways as a callback to X360 era shooters.
And dreadnought appearance is imo the best example for that - big, grandiouse scripted event, in which *you* actually *do* next to nothing, but damn, it was such a sight

Whenever I see maps of Constantinople/Istanbul, I remember a Turkish detective show I saw once,where a owner of construction firm killed an archeologist because he found evidence of some untouched ruins at a future mall location. Owner screamed at the end "IT IS ISTANBUL. THERE ARE RUINS EVERYWHERE"

DnD and having a boring armor system, name a more iconic duo xD
Really, I think throughout decades, armor is probably the most kicked around feature. And for various reasons for each edition. It is fascinating

It is very weird left over of "morality systems" from 90s-00s games. Dishonored 2 was probably the last notable thing what used one?
It just feels so... game-y compared to everything else what is going on.

I feel like Medieval Europe is the weird one here - compared even to what was happening in Middle East or China, it was in process of shattering *more*, not consolidating. An outlier in line of empires consolidating cultures under them.

On the other hand, there is Dacia where Romans went an extra mile to completely erase local culture.
It was unusual for the time (Even for Romans themselves), but I would still say there are plenty of pre-gunpowder conquests with such harsh destructions of local customs and societies
