After they closed down the super expensive high tech animation studio they set up in Hawaii just because the director liked Hawaii they announced in their end of year financial report or whatever that from now on they were putting all their eggs in the Final Fantasy VII basket with tons of spin off games and action figures and stuff and they've done that ever since, even with them being bought by and becoming SquareEnix and then acquiring Eidos. You saw the pattern repeat itself too, Final Fantasy XIV was a horrible game and a huge embarrassment that took them three years to actually turn into a playable and eventually decent game after it was released, then a couple of years later oh hey look a Final Fantasy VII remake.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Do we need an action movies thread? I feel like we need an action movies thread. But I've also felt like we need a Movie Fight thread, and that's never materialized either. Do we have a 'knock-off' thread to talk about films that are those strange, cheap and sometimes great knock-offs of more popular films? It seems like for every Alien, James Bond, The Thing, Terminator, Indiana Jones or Rambo, we've got a dozen (at least) films that are essentially those, with just a different twist.

Schwarzwald posted:If I was going to pick a game as the point in time where Squaresoft "sold out," it wouldn't be the one that begins with the heroes committing industrial sabotage and ends with prayer staving off the apocalypse. But it had 3D and ads on MTV and abandoned the noble Nintento for the corrupt Sony! What they were reacting to is the realization that there never was a Squaresoft that hadn't "sold out." The irony of the fact that the actual game they were reacting to would be almost too subversive to release ten years later just makes this more delicious. Now retrospect we have this game where you join Bin Laden in attempting to prevent Bush from framing him for 9/11, fail, and then go on to save the world from the anti-Christ and it's pretty awesome. e: also Aeris is basically the last Emperor of Japan (a sacred bloodline which exists to mediate between the living and the spirits of the Earth) living in poverty and is killed by the anti-Christ but reappears in spirit (SMG would say as the Holy Spirit which is literally what happens since she is casting the spell "Holy") after his defeat.

In an alternate universe, you played FF7 on your Nintendo 64. The game is a massive box containing 300 cartridges. In that universe, Batman vs. Superman is the highest grossing movie of 2016. SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jan 7, 2017 |

After Iron Man, Iron Man v Thor: Avengeance Begins, and David Ayer's Thunderbolts weren't as profitable as Marvel hoped, they put the Wachowskis in charge of the MCU. Mostly because of the runaway success of their Captain Harlock adaptation.

There were originally going to be "Justice League Part One" and "Justice League Part Two", but now it's "Justice League" and an untitled movie that will feature the Justice League. Same thing that happened with Avengers: Infinite War Parts One and Two, but only one of those changes had the nerd commentariat gloating over how their respective studios had completely lost faith in the series and were about to collapse etc etc.
