FFX was the first PS2 game I played, and I remember the first time I saw the air turbulence effects on one of Valefor's attacks and I was like "no fuckin way, the future is now"

a friend of mine is writing a book on the history of maxis and man, you don't know the half of it

you know a company is going through it when getting bought by ea and having them run riot on everything was the best possible outcome
two questions on this

1) what is the title of this book so i can keep an eye out for it
2) does your friend intend to do an audiobook version

i know bits and pieces of the maxis legend but i'd love to get a larger infodump. and also, audiobooks are generally the way i read nowadays, esp audible.

If you dodge 100 lightning bolts in any version of the game it counts across the board for all of them. This has been scientifically proven

its got issues but for basically the first game dub of that scale its extremely impressive

I'd also go to bat and say that Tidus and Yuna in English are overall better actors than Tidus and Yuna in Japanese. (Tidus' actor has gotten better, Yuna's... hasn't really.) The rest of the cast is more varied but neither of the leads do a great job.

Anima showing up in FF14 was amazing. Even copied Anima's origin. The father of a main villain was made into Anima, like how Seymour's mother became the fayth that summons Anima.

The dark secret of lightning bolts is that Lulu is by a significant degree the mechanically worst character in the game so there's no reason to waste your time.
