CharlieFoxtrot posted:I feel like however 7 Remake 2 chooses to address this is going to be jarring. How much of an abstraction was that world map? Are they going to keep the representation of every continent being two towns, a miscellaneous location, and thousands of square miles of empty space My preference would be to do something like what FFXII does, where there are overworld zones you travel through and the implication of a lot of space between them so you're only seeing the interesting bits.

Cardiovorax posted:Shame to hear it, but I hope you still had some fun with it, at least. I did, but it was almost all out in the field exploring. I liked their take on the world, both as a story and as a fairly clever strategy for making a second game out of that asset collection. It's funny, because I had a much better time with Subnautica which is very similar. In hindsight it's probably because Subnautica lets you more easily refill your meters in the field and doesn't have other characters with needs around.

Rarity posted:OoT randomizer update: Are you using a tracker? Emotracker has components that will show you exactly what checks are available to you with that items you have to remove a lot of the guesswork when you don't have obscene levels of game knowledge. Nothing helps with the general tedium though

It wouldn't surprise me if FF7R chucked the overworld entirely and stuck with their chapter-based wide linear approach.

StoryTime posted:Final Fantasy II does an impressive (for the NES) and entirely useless attempt at projecting the overworld map as a sphere: Huh this is the missing link because two of three of FF2's designers would headline Secret of Mana plus Nasir Gebelli who probably coded the whole projection system.

Cardiovorax posted:Oh, I agree that it's a very simple and illustrative demonstration of the concept and you can absolutely understand what it is just from looking at what you showed us in your post. I was simply talking about it in terms of that kind of application helping you to learn how to do so yourself, which is where reduction to the absolute basics honestly helps a lot. I agree on the "isolating and teaching the basics" front for sure but it's also generally helpful to me to see how things fit in with some greater concept or use- and maybe that's generally how things are done now (someone posted about Common Core) kind of like understanding how a carburetor, valvetrain, and magneto function vs why exactly they are where they are on a small engine

Apple footed the bill but games leave Apple Arcade like way faster than EGS. It'll probably be on Steam like 3 months later. Like that World Enders club whatever would've been less than 6 months from incomplete Apple Arcade to Switch.

I said come in! posted:This is a cute looking jRPG! I hope it eventually comes to Steam. The 7th Guest posted:it was known to be an apple arcade title since the service was originally announced, this is just the first actual gameplay reveal Yeah it looks really neat. Assuming it actually does come somewhere other than Apple Arcade (I know games aren't always forever exclusive but I don't know how often games are released elsewhere) I'll be really excited to play it.

very few games have remained exclusive to apple arcade except for stuff that only makes sense on a phone (guildlings for example) a couple others include various daylife from square and chuchu rocket universe from sega the majority only had timed exclusivity, sometimes only as long as a couple of weeks

Hell, in a couple instances, Apple Arcade exclusivity has essentially just been a demo, like Shantae and World End Club.

naw anything that's a hit sensational enough to warrant "everyone's moved on" usually has a healthy userbase of those very late to the party or who just enjoy stuff long after you've forgotten it was even a thing. Looked like a fun mario party minigame but im not buying just one long mp minigame
