I'm #TeamKrishna for SMT IV Final.

Krishna has historically been a cool dude and I'm sure that will carry over into this game about hosed up deities.

I got this from the artist's twitter. It seems she only puts the name on the Tumblr upload.

It's extra dumb in this case because it doesn't cover the art at all and is like 10 pixels tall. The most unobtrusive watermark ever.

I off-handidly mentioned Aerith's death to a friend once.

He had legitimately never heard about her death, and started telling me to avoid spoilers.

It was 2014.

I like how they got Hiro Shimono (VA for the God Slayer) to do this, taking into account how his in-game dialogue is probably gonna be limited to grunts and screams.

Yeah both seemed cool and even when you go through the alternate realities they both were taking it pretty well and then after that they just decided to say gently caress it.

I liked them and both of their boss designs were horrible.

Some guy here got really angry at me for spoiling the fact that there were 108 characters in Suikoden 3 (the running theme of the series) like four years after it was released but your's tops that. Even Wreck it Ralph made fun of that spoiler.

How is that even a spoiler, did he also avoid learning of the fact that there are 3 characters or that there are Runes in the game?

I mean there's a remake coming out now, so you should absolutely be avoiding this 20 year old game's plot twists as of next year since a new game will be out.

I suppose that's true, but I do hope that whoever is indifferent to the game wouldn't care if it's being discussed openly, with plot laid bare and all. Oh well, live and let live. Not to Aeris, unfortunately.

I've only gotten around to playing FFVII as of this year because Cloud's in Smash now, so I owe it to myself to finally play through his game.

That being said I'm getting more excited for the remake so that I won't have to put up with a slow-rear end battle system and awkward dialogue.

I will not disagree it has summons, but I don't remember any animations taking that long and even at 3x speed that game should be moving insanely fast.

JOKER is probably slightly cooler than Kandori but yeah Kandori's themes are really good and it's a huge shame that they didn't get remixed for the PSP remake

Old women already played FF7 back when they were young and it was the 90s, and you could probably convince kids to play it if you slapped a Minecraft logo on it and changed Cloud's buster sword to a pickaxe.

JOKER was really cool but he wasn't in the game that much sadly.
