I'm sure they'll be fine. It's not like the company has been plagued by mismanagement, miscommunication, and poor project planning for years.

As long as they keep the FFXIV team intact and healthy I am fine with whatever other organizational dysfunction they come up with.

Eidos seems to be blowing their load all at once. Tomb Raider, Hitman, and Just Cause are all coming out this fall with the latter two releasing within a week of each other. Deus Ex is supposed to be out in 2016. That's going to put all of the major western franchises in hibernation for awhile. Hopefully Japan will step up or they'll have quite the dead zone of releases.

I tried FFX but I was pretty sure the protagonist was dead or dreaming and lost interest after blitzball.

The actual twist is infinitely dumber than this.

I might be misremembering, but wasn't there a hunt for an invisible chocobo or something? Or you couldn't see it some of the time because it was a white one in a snowy area?
Yep, I just accepted the hunt for that (gonna wait to do it though) because I completely forgot about Montblac.

I can't remember anything about FF12 because whenever I try to play it, or watch someone else play it, it puts me to sleep. Literally. I cannot stay awake long enough to pay attention to what's going on. It's incredibly good at that though.

gently caress I'm always late. Do not play the american release of FF12, go find some copy of the FF12 Zodiac job system release that is translated. The job system makes the game so much better because every character has to choose a different job. Casters are actually good, samurai can hit for like a million damage, you can debuff bosses.

In turn it kinda trivalizes the entire game but it makes the combat way more interesting. They added a crazy challenge mode to the game with 100 floors for the hard combat.

Vaan easily talks less then Basch in the game. There's no way Vaan was ever made to be the main character, his lines include "Yeaa" and "We can do it" while everyone else talks about war and politics.

It also added a type of New Game+ for the main game where you can never level up, once you beat that challenge mode.

The turbo option really makes any grinding in ff12 bearable also. 4 hour fights turn into 3 mins.

Too bad we're never getting a HD release of that version of FFXII.

The original resolution of FF12 is 512x448.

What kind of computer do you have?, that you should not use to do anything illegal because we the goons never do illegal things and it is bad and wrong to ever say to do illegal things.

The game is more CPU bound than anything but I'd have thought anything Sandy Bridge onwards would be more than enough to handle PS2 emulation and probably even Wii emulation.
