Huh, that's outright Dr. Shantotto's lab from Windurst. WOFF seems to have a lot of nice little touches like that.

Every town in the game is an amalgam of several places. There are some really weird ones .

Final Fantasy 2 is extremely underrepresented honestly, it's actually a little weird.

I didn't see much 14 either but I admit I'm not very up on 14's lore and could have missed some.

He is a recruitable as shown in the blandest FF boss fight video, on the last page.

A) That's weird for that fight because while it isn't hard it has a lot more moves it didn't use, I'm not sure why it didn't in that video.

B) Most bosses are unimprismable your first time through. However you'll gain the ability to fight them in the Colosseum where most of them are prismable. The Colosseum is basically where you go to recruit non-standard monsters pretty easily.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.

He sacrifices himself to unlock a completely useless spell.

Still a better death than Josef. Sacrificed himself so you can open a door and then not ten feet inside is the guy who could've opened it to begin with.

Following the Einhander video link, I got another boss fight video in my recommendations; this time it was about Squall and Shelke bonding over uncertainty of the future after the fighting's done. It's weird and kind of cool to see characters from different titles interacting with one another, and I think if there's a lot of that in the game I might actually pick it up.

There is. Because there are only a handful of characters from the same game world they instead substitute other characters in place of it and it leads to some unusual interactions between characters you wouldn't expect.

Hey, I DID pre-order it! I'll get my girlfriend to turn the PS4 on so it can start downloading. I'm still not going to be able to play it until Wednesday, since I work 80 hours a week. But by god will I ever play it on Wednesday!

If you leave your PS4 in rest mode then it'll be there already because preorder downloads start 3 days before the game is available to play. You'll just be locked out until the right time with a big timer taunting you until then. It's a nifty little feature they have.

I literally just bought the Day one edition because come on now chibi Sephiroth. From what Imp has said, I'm not going to like the game either character, plot, or gameplay wise, but holy poo poo Sephiroth.

That might be the most :effort: battle animations I've seen in the last decade. It's just too drat boring, though to be fair I wasn't too interested in the game before (and this video definitely doesn't change that).

Yeah, Tarutaru speak in weird ways, like some use alliteration, I remember one rear end in a top hat speaks just like Ned Flanders, most of them append "aru" to words that end with a t, such as "take thataru".
