It's gonna be the Brutal Legend demo all over again and the rest of the game is just an airship simulator.

So if anyone remembers the Dive In system (most notable feature was the ability to stream FF13 on tablets), they're shutting it down on September 13th and refunding anyone that ordered a year-long subscription in full.

For those who didn't know, I played Final Fantasy XIII-2 before I started this and I devised a point system for that game to determine my personal score for it. Every time the game forced me to look online for something, I deducted a point. By the end I'm pretty sure XIII-2 ranked somewhere between the worst game ever made and a crime against humanity.

Before it even became FFXV, Versus XIII lost some of the violence and blood it had during the initial reveal. SE has always been reluctant to push the envelope since FF, especially the main series of games, since a key demographic for the games are teenagers in Japan. Much of the darker aspects, such as the brutality of war, have come from directors like Matsuno and Tabata who have an interest in history and warfare. With the success of M-rated RPGs in the West and the contraction of the Japanese home console market, I'm not sure it continues to make sense to avoid directly appealing to an older demographic.

I want the FFXIII trilogy on Vita and PS4.

I have no idea why you think there isn't a large portion of the FF fanbase who would squeal with delight over Cloud going on a date with Vincent.

Cranky Kong was actually rendered sterile after he was involved in tests of strong herbicides and pesticides by Stanley the bug man during a successful collection mission in the Congo. Mario saw the need for platforming action gorillas and conspired with Princess Daisy to begin les gorilles terribles, a project by which three clones of Cranky Kong were created. One was a perfect clone in every way and quickly became insane and transformed himself into a lizard, rolling over the lizard tribes, making himself King Kong Rool. He rapidly changed personalities as well, becoming Kaptain Kong Rool and Baron Kong Rool in his constant attempts to siege Donkey Kong Island. One clone was made using the so called "weak genes" of Cranky. This was Donkey Kong. The last clone was made from the strong genes, and this was Funky Kong.

Mario grew to fear the Kongs and believe they may be too powerful, and he kidnapped a young chimpanzee as a countermeasure, believing it was not necessarily genes, but circumstances and memes that made them who they were. Diddy Kong was put through a virtual reality simulation of Donkey Kong "country" in which he relived the events of the first war of the Kongs. The plan backfired, as Kaptain Kong Rool kidnapped Donkey Kong, solving the problem, but Diddy Kongs programming and experience caused him to instinctively rescue Donkey Kong, even after Mario inserted the sleeper agent Dixie to try and distract from his mission.

The mushroom kingdom was in panic as the Kongs expanded their territory, now having dominion over Kong, Kremling islands and expanding into the surrounding islands. As a last gambit Mario turned K. Rool to the mushroom cause and successfully captured both Donkey and Diddy, but his own agent Dixie had fallen in love with the smaller Kong and together with the child they had out of wedlock freed him.

The proxy war with the Kong Island continues to this day, with Mario employing the skills of tikis, snowmads, and even racing wizard pigs to try to show their expansion. Kong Rool is presumed dead.

As Sephiroth is about to strike down Cloud, Sephiroth falls from the ceiling and randomly impales Sephiroth with his sword. Cloud cries out for Sephiroth as Sephiroth removes his sword from Sephiroth's body and kicks Sephiroth into the lifestream. Cloud, berserk from just watching Sephiroth die, attacks Sephiroth and pushes him into the green goo.

Then Iscar Matthias brushes his hair to the side before darkly musing on the failings of humanity.

I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but those are generally my feeling about OCRemix albums. Neat, sure. Interesting, okay. Something I think is subjectively an improvement that I enjoy more than the original... generally only a small fraction.

Porting the GBA version would have required a lot more effort, also possibly legal issues with Nintendo.

Wait, why is Pachinko becoming more popular? Has there been major advances in the field of "flick balls into holes" that have people spending more of their money on it?

That was the most frustrating criticism of that game. The people complaining about there being too many tutorials probably weren't reading them.

i qould be ecstatic if every FF game going forward was just the FF-13 combat system but i don't think it's really that surprising that people would expect the FF7 remake to have the FF7 combat system
