She spoke one line, in Chozo. And an extremely memorable scream.

But it mostly worked because she only interacted with Quiet Voice, Raven Beak and “Adam,” characters where we already understood her feelings towards and relationship dynamics with. completely agree this was the wrong lesson to learn

am I not allowed the few fleeting moments of joy offered by a Pac-Man balloon or a K-Pop Demon Hunters performance in this miserable world

I watched clips of it on bluesky, I ain't waking up that early, what you think I'm some kind of functioning adult or something?

I heard "one of their most popular games of all time."

Which I still would press "X" to doubt on, given that it's Bandai Namco and they have Soul Calibur, Katamari, Tekken, Dark Souls and Elden Ring, but it still would be a lot less hyperbolic

Man!! Fuckin’… why?? You already adapted the whole story and you even pulled the sweet con of splitting into two movies. And people even seemed to love it instead of thinking it was bloated. That’s a huge success!! Why isn’t that enough for these executives!!

also, like, the NES didn't have parallax scrolling. that effect of the stars & clouds whizzing by is "cheating" it by just moving very carefully illustrated horizontal stripes of the background layer to make it look like there are distinct layers

they made that 10-year-old hardware sing

Hazbin Hotel is about running a hotel in hell and I have no idea what Helluva Boss is about. some other company in hell I guess

yeah that art style is like. really the opposite of what I find appealing so I was probably never gonna give it a chance even if the creator hadn't turned me off

Same creator. Same universe. No interest in either, couldn't tell you the difference

yeah it rules!!

that's really funny to me that you were like "heh. idiots don't know their own character can fly? amateurs. anyway I guess I'll actually watch this video just to see how lame and bad it is- WHOA HOLY FUCK"

I would probably argue that both parties still have a consistent enough throughline to continue using the name. Kefka and Sephiroth are kind of both the inevitable final product of all of the Empire's/Shinra's mistakes and evils. In a way the fight's not TRULY over until this one guy is gone.

I usually do still call the party "AVALANCHE" even through to the end of the game, and I think most people I see (if they call the party anything other than "the party") do the same.

Barret does say "AVALANCHE's born again!" at Cosmo Canyon, so at least he's sticking with it.
