it's a very janky game and the english tl actively wrecks some lines of dialog but it's one of my favorite rpgs and rpg parties in general

For me if final fantasy wants me back they should make a main character who’s like a 55-y-o divorced mom who’s struggling to care for her frail mom and dad with dementia in 2010 manchester (she’s also a gunblade master). Ffxiv came closest but didn’t stick to landing after character creation

speaking of Final Fantasies, some gameplay of boss fights in FF16 dropped like, two weeks ago.

They let you do kaiju sumo matches as Ifrit. You have a big dog buddy who helps you fight and heals you.

Dunno why more people aren't interested in it based on those two things alone

Gonna be real here, I still love dogs and video game dog buddies, but I'm over dogs just getting put into games to score some easy points.

Like when Capcom had that huge hack and one of stated design goals of the Palamutes listed that "can you pet the dog?" twitter account.

a good story is when a character rejects external forces to determine their values and instead relies on a strong internal moral character that they follow to a self destructive degree and that is never explain which inevitably pushes love ones away.

also twin peaks the return is another type of good story.

its at least forgivable in monster hunter since the felynes have been around forever and the palico thing was a natural evolution to make single player more enjoyable, adding dogs with different functions is a pretty logical extension.

but yes its still very lame

A good story is something that makes you level up in real life. I didn't hate capitalism nearly as much as I should've when I was playing TF2 I highschool back when the comics still got updates.

Kojima really missed the mark on that one, I was regretting my words and deeds years before MGS V!

Also in hindsight I wonder if he just auto-translated 言動 for that since it's the precise wording for one of the definitions.



I mean it would've been kind of a silly thing to say either way, but I bet we'd gotten fewer Words and Memes about the precise quote if he'd landed on a less dramatic-sounding definition for "things said/done".
