I would love to play FFXV but I don't own the PS4 or Xbone. I am saving my money for the Switch.

Make sure you also save enough for the power cord unless you have Wii U already.

You should because it looks really fun. Do it for me because I keep wanting to play it but then end up stuck at work all night.

There was a Final Fantasy where the end-boss was Gackt. Final Fantasy has always been about Japanese boy bands.

A lot of the love for FFXV seems to be ironic "Look at me I'm in a boy band lol I'm traveling with a bunch of dudes and am super effeminate ROFL".

But this is good. I think ironic love for something comes from an unironic desire to experience something from a new perspective in a safe non-committal way. Players are being enabled to experience a different, non traditional mode of masculinity they aren't used to and deriving joy from it, and that's great.

i unironically want to make out and possibly more with all 4 ffxv anime boys

Which is apt, considering Square Enix pretty much ripped off Gackt when they designed FF8's Squall.

Reminds me of the "unrested penalty" from World of Warcraft. Rather than say it's decreased performance when on battery like laptops do, it's being framed as increased performance when plugged in. :laugh:

If the performance boost puts it at 1080p it wouldn't matter since the screen is purportedly 720p anyway.

The leak-age is pretty fun.

Laura Kate Dale is a gamez jurnalist who has earned the reputation of leaking stuff about the Nintendo Switch which turned out to be true. Of course, no company that has a policy of secrecy likes leaks, so they in turn blacklisted her. But the way she's going she'll probably feel the wrath of Reggie next.

She's a good journalist who actually knows how to journalist and chooses to focus this on games instead of the UK government for some godforsaken reason.

She's also on a lot of podcasts.

Even if some stuff here turns out fake, this would most likely be the vast majority of the January presentation. And Nintendo would not like that.

It's pretty easy to tell if a company is blacklisting you or not.

Also if she has sources in Nintendo it is extremely easy to find out if you are blacklisted or not.
