The Skeleton King: Jul 16, 2011; Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.

I don�t think Square knows what a glaive is. They use the word a lot, but there are no glaives to be seen in the game.

Other uses of the word
The word "glaive" has historically been given to several very different types of weapons.

The word "glaive" originated from French. Almost all etymologists derive it from either the Latin (gladius) or Celtic (*cladivos, cf. claymore) word for sword. Nevertheless, all the earliest attestations in both French and English refer to spears.[2] It is attested in this meaning in English roughly from the 14th century to the 16th.[3]
In the 15th century, it acquired the meaning described above.[4]
Around the same time it also began being used as a poetic word for sword (this is the main use of the word in Modern French).[5]
The term "glaive" is used in some modern fantasy fiction, films and video games to refer to various thrown weapons, similar to the chakram or hunga munga, which can mystically return to the thrower (as in popular myths surrounding the boomerang).[citation needed] These objects are fictional, and are not in any way related to the historical glaive.
Champagne saucers are often colloquially termed glaives. The name refers to the traditional wine glass being 'glaived', resulting in a shorter than normal glass.
In the game Vainglory, there's a character called Glaive. However, his weapon is nothing related to an actual glaive; he wields an axe instead.

That 8 minute Barbarus fight is so excruciatingly boring that not even the commentary could save it.

It wasn't until Kuvo pointed it out that I realized that music was supposed to be Battle on the Big Bridge. They somehow made a character like Gilgamesh boring and forgettable. Thanks for going through this so I don't have to.

I got you.

The DLC's version of Battle on the Big Bridge seemed fine to me... although it kinda strikes me as being more of an OCRemix by someone who's a big fan of Keichi Okabe than a composition that fits in musically with the rest of FFXV.

I got this when I looked it up. I like old weapons so I get irrationally upset when people call things the wrong thing.

I've been a huge fan of you guys' since your FFX lets play and I've just finished your Symphonia play through. Can't wait to dive into this one. I'm so glad you, Topikal, and Bandunk are back together.

So the thing that they made you jump through all those hoops for is literally the Batman Forever Batmobile, except it can fly for some reason?

Besides that, A++ ending, congrats on your escape from LP hell.

It's been amazing watching the group go from 'Well this is way better than 13 at least' to just utterly exhausted with this game's total incoherent dogshit.

Gongrats on escaping the nightmare game.

Still would have liked to see you beat your heads against the Adamantoise. Literally the only thing I knew about the post game.

You flew over it in the airship but you hadn't had the conversation which triggered it to wake up.

Adamantoise is incredibly boring and tedious, it's not even changeling and lasts for about 5 times as long as it needs to.

Nah we decided we would be done after completing whatever DLC is already out whenever we finished it. Also I'm not paying any more money for this game, I already feel bad enough about buying that stupid season pass.

It's a shame we won't get to see the exciting reason that Mr cooking went blind, but not being made miserable by square is probably a better choice.

Still, it's incredible that they stuffed that into dlc, given how much they made of swords mcbuff being an rear end in a top hat about it.

From what I read on a wiki, it seems like that was also a bunch of important info about the ring that they helpfully omitted from the main plot.

What a lovely mess.

Oh, also not that it matters, but who were those two dudes yelling at you while trying to crush you with robots?

I find it absolutely hilarious this is after they changed the name, but there's still a bunch of stuff that isn't even vaguely in the game. What the hell even was this?

Not mutually exclusive.

And the spoiler part doesn't even change the game if you were to do it, its just an infuriating thing that makes you wish the game would have that option really in the base game.
