Let me tell you about true luxury.

Every final fantasy game or nintendo first party title will have busted rear end reviews. The fanbases are rabid

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

It is insanely funny to me that FF16 was written and developed foremost for the English VA and the thing that everyone immediately noticed was the lack of "anime gasps"

I didn't because I play them all in Japanese

For every time someone complains about the anime gasps I'm getting my dad Tetsuya Nomura to put 100 more in FF7 Rebirth

I like anime-gasps-centric FFVII for the record (and I'm almost certainly gonna play Rebirth before FFXVI) but it still nice to see them really shake up the formula

I think the thing that bugged me the most about the FF16 demo was that there was no reason the queen would let Clive live - it's far more likely she'd order him to be killed and then the commander would be like "actually you'd make a good soldier so bugger that"

I think the part I least liked about the demo was how comically evil the queen is. Even in game of thrones when someone was super evil I at least felt like I understood their motivations, but not with her I was just sort of like whut.

Yeah same tho I guess maybe we'll find all that stuff out later.

I don't have any huge magnificent expectations for the narrative in ff16, I'm just in it for a huge spectacle of it all and in that regard I don't think it will disappoint.

Ys8 main story done, sick final bosses and that ending certainly made me feel lachrymose. I've heard Ys9 was weaker but I still look forward to digging into that one.

Unfortunately the remakes don’t stop there. Final Fantasy XVI is a remake of FFIII, but since it was only ever released in Japan nobody in the west can tell.

Depends. 4k blu-ray is region free apparently, but everything else will be locked to whatever region the ps5 came from.

Edit: Apparently you can change the region 4 times and then it'll lock itself to whatever the last region you selected

Maybe, but if so it really goes against her 'mwahahah I'm so evil I'll kill everyone mwahaha' vibe that is so obvious that the moment she first entered the frame I pegged her as a villain.

It’s more the leave him alive so he can obviously come back for revenge someday thing that’s baffling people even though it’s almost certainly going to be a 5D chess move to save the world or some poo poo, as is tradition.

After reading the encyclopedia entries or whatever they’re called I got a much different vibe, mainly because it seems every other character backstory is “Rosaria’s army turned their entire family and home into a smoldering crater, so they live here now!”

My gut tells me that that girl’s out for some revenge.

Hm t'were I a kingarchduke I would simply not marry that person.

But that does make more sense. I never read the lore stuff beyond the part where it was introduced, I kinda just forgot it was there.

Totally making this answer up but she says that Clive would be good "on the front lines" meaning she wants him to die in battle as front lines are the most likely to die. Just guessing here but I would assume that she wants him humiliated as he was supposed to protect the kid but failed. Rather than have him die valiantly protecting the kid he's sent to the front lines as punishment for failing to save him. It's more public humiliation alongside execution.

That's how I interpreted it but I'm assuming that I'll be way off base. It is odd in retrospect though.

I think it just came off as weird because as a betrayal it just sort of felt out of nowhere with no buildup, from a character you barely know. The game could very well earn it over the course of it's run time, but as far as the demo was concerned I was sort of just like "uh, ok I guess that happened"

Hell, same. I think it could be interpreted as being edgy but to me it feels like FF hasn’t gone this hard with the story since Tactics, and I’m here for it.

this is funny because I stopped watching GoT because they started focusing way too much on the 'insane sociopaths for no reason' characters, the queen seemed pretty restrained next to the boltons, the incest rapist old man, joffrey, etc

To be fair, in Japanese she says, 'hold up, he's got the blessing of the Phoenix'.

Yeah, to make this a bit clearer
Just demo stuff
Clive's mom is incredibly focused on The Phoenix. She hates Clive because he didn't inherit it and loves Joshua because he did. With Joshua dead Clive us the only person with access to the Phoenix until a new Dominant is born.

Yeah that's fair, but I think more than anything it has to do with those characters already being well established when the queen just goes from a normal character we see for about 30 seconds to kill my whole family, kill my servants too why not. Just kind of jarring. Its like joffrey if they didn't spend an entire season building up to what an rear end in a top hat psychopath he was
