I wonder how Lightning Returns would've reviewed in an alternate universe where it wasn't attached to FFXIII in any way because it is v good

The Woolsey translation for FF6 is definitely flawed and inaccurate (and I'm sure Woolsey would be the first to agree on that!) but drat did he have some banger lines.

I'm glad we have multiple translations of all the early games now so we can choose our favorite parts of certain translations and insert them into the most accurate translations.

i'll stick with my fan translation that inserts ancient memes and swearing, thank you

Balthier definitely should've been aged up in FFXII. Dude's somehow this experienced, well-known sky pirate with a past as a Judge, which he must have gone through at least a year or two of training for even if he was just a rank-and-file normal Judge and he's only 21. He should be 31 instead, or like at least 28 or 29 or something.

The timeline makes perfect sense if you follow the rules of the Phoenix Wright universe where Franziska Von Karma became a prosecutor at 13

Dr Odine in FFVIII invented GFs which are causing memory loss/the weapon of mass destruction that is causing monsters to fall from the moon/the machine that's letting Ultimecia send her consciousness to the past but Laguna is just like "oh well, what can ya do"

I'd buy a new Theatrhythm but it seemed like Curtain Call already covered most of the tracks (except for the XIV selection which could probably have a whole game by itself)

Minor detail in Stranger of Paradise: great spinning in-place.


In Playstation 2-era games, the direction your character faces is generally a vector based on which way you press the stick + camera angle + character position. If you spin the stick around in circles quickly, the character spins really quickly in-place with the running animation. It looks silly.

In the PS3-era, and with some early outliers like Wind Waker, they introduced kinematic movement and animation. When Toon Link stands on the stairs perpendicular to them, the game engine does math so his feet actually land on seperate steps where his contemporaries would have one foot floating in the air and the other clipping through the stairs. Since then bones and kinematic animations have become standard. A weird result is that when you spin the stick as fast as possible in modern games, you don't spin anymore. The game wants to do math and make the character's animations smooth.

Nowadays I get weirded out by the way my dude turns a corner early in the game and end up spending a few minutes finding the sweet spot for being able to turn in-place as quickly as possible. Sometimes it's very different between clockwise and counter-clockwise spins. Sometimes it looks super goofy with the kinematics, but it's never as neat as in the DVD days. I remember being pretty happy with Breath Of the Wild's in-place spin after finding a good speed.


Jack's clockwise in-place spin is one of the best and quickest this generation. He goes absolutely nuts ducking his head in a circle. Counter-clockwise is nothing interesting.

I like this post and I'm happy for you
