I think I'm gonna try to digivolve my Meramon into an Andromon, because I think it's actually doable. His stats requirement is kinda insane and I don't think I can do it, but other than that he just needs <=3 care mistakes, 35-45 weight, and either 95+ discipline or 30+ battles. It feels a bit like cheating, but I don't think anything explicitly says you have to meet the stats requirement, just 3/4 of the requirements, so....

Small update on this, you can, in fact, upgrade to an ultimate without meeting stats requirements, which is kinda nuts. Meeting Care Mistakes, Weight, and Bonus is crazy easy in comparison, I'd otherwise have to get all my stats up to like 300 in a gym where you spend one (in-game hour) to get like 8 points

And after evolving, Terry got so many free stats. I'm talking like at least 200 in every stat when they were all at 100-300. He's ridiculous now

So basically my fire elemental evolved into an android after kicking the rear end of another fire elemental (he's our chef now). My next order of business is to go to the dinosaur land where time moves at double speed and beat up a meteor

aside from the aforementioned, AFAIK it's being developed on the same crystal tools branch that FFXIV was, which means its nuts and bolts have already had plenty of time to be rigorously tested on PC and should thus cut down a lot on porting efforts

maybe it won't be exactly six months and one day but i'm counting on it being a lot more prompt than, say, FFXV was

A grand strategy game where you stare at a map for hours at a time. They're really fun, and also help you become smarter because now I know almost every country by location and where a lot of major cities are

True dat, the Awakening trailer, though Sony has been locking down background exclusive rights with Square much harder since MS bought Bethesda and the Activision thing, which is probably why we still haven't seen FF7R on Xbox. I think Sony somehow renewed the exclusivity period when Intergrade released.

I loaded up roadwarden, seems SUPER promising so far! It’s reminding me of Pathfinder Kingmaker, as the main mission is basically the same (“tame” a wild area for the benefit of a nearby merchant city), and my favourite part of that game was mapping out the region, one junction at a time. Looking forward to this

Idk anything about the devs but I get the impression that English isn’t their first language, there are some phrasing hiccups, it’s rare but noticeable (if they are native English speakers then idk)

I think it just all comes down to the fact that you still cannot walk into a store and buy a PS5. They're hard to get so publishers don't wanna make their games exclusive to a system a lot of people don't have but then when it is exclusive it's like "hey I can't get this system"

Well apparently 30 million people have one, which is almost 1:1 the pace of the PS4 between November 2013 to November 2015.

It would require an absolutely ungodly incredible ccg style game to get me interested in it, those titles are DoA for me otherwise - it's hard enough for any MP game to get a healthy community, one built on either awful grind or pay $$$ is just, nope

It's funny because the opposite happened when FF13 went multiplatform after being Sony exclusive for a few years.

The game is incredibly unique, but yeah monetization of remake may be poo poo. All the code is now open source though so maybe somebody will make a single player game.

They also accidentally implied that Demon Souls Remake was getting a PC release which still hasn't happened.

I was going to buy a PS5 for FFXVI but the Steam Deck is finally available in Australia so I'll probably buy that instead as that will get quadruple the playtime. It'd be a harder decision if the PS5 had more games, frankly.

Console exclusives should die imo, but also I get why they exist on not just a marketing level. Porting games sounds like a nightmare, much less the differences in having to develop around multiple potential hardware specs vs just one or two.
