Beat Voice of Cards. It’s pretty Yoko Taro. Near enough, maybe not worth $40. Could definitely see this being another series added to Square Enix’s stable

FFII is as equally seminal to the franchise as FF1, it introduced a hell of a lot of iconic Final Fantasy elements, like dragoons, ultima, behemoths, and chocobos

Anything I need to know before starting FF3 on the DS?

I like it a lot but others don’t. Job levels are kind of important but don’t let that stop you from switching to new jobs. Don’t go into a fight if you have any party members with crystal sickness. Save often

Scholar is the mid game mvp because it does extra damage with attack items.

Have you read this? Do you know if it's any good? I love academia engaging with my pop and showing the layers to it but of course it's sometimes just a lot of hot air.

I'm by no means an academic of any kind but this was my Nietzschean reading of FFX that I'm proud of. At the very least, the books/articles I quote are worth reading.

The store I work at sells it, it’s part of a series of “the philosophy of (insert pop fiction here)” books. They don’t seem very good tbh

I still only go in there rarely to see if anything's changed for a Job I play since it's usually the quickest updated with the most accurate text guides, and never look at any of the discussion.

Iirc one of the mods was the woman who was raped, and when she was very obviously in crises she was kicked out because she was “being too mean to [her rapist]”

The worst part about silent protagonists being a stand-in for the player is that unless they're product of a create-a-character system they genuinely aren't a stand-in. They're just a character in a story who for some reason doesn't talk, which sucks when they're ostensibly the main character.

Yeah, the ~*~One Weird Trick~*~ is that there has to be gameplay from the game the music came from. That's how people have been getting away with uploading FFXIV music for years.

They seem to have changed the rules recently, a lot of videos with music from the most recent expansion got taken down, especially the bigger accounts that had regularly done that sort of thing

"As far as I know, 4th edition was the first set of rules to look to videogames for inspiration. I wasn’t involved in the initial design meetings for the game, but I believe that MMOs played a role in how the game was shaped. I think there was a feeling that D&D needed to move into the MMO space as quickly as possible and that creating a set of MMO-conversion friendly rules would help hasten that." - Mike Mearls

I'll take Mike's word that MMOs were a factor, sorry random goon.

Mike Mearls isn’t the most reliable source, unfortunately

D&D 4E probably took some inspiration from video games but the roles come more from the iconic D&D party of Fighter, Cleric, Thief and Wizard than MMOs in particular. Of course, that same iconic party is the likely origin of the Holy Trinity that many, many video games would follow and iterate on so it's all pretty connected. Hell, those are most of the FF1 jobs, bringing it back around to being topical to this thread.

My understanding is that the holy mmo trinity is more directly inspired by MUDs, where it was actually a quad of tank, healer, defensive buffer, and mezzer that got refined over time. Now, that can be inspired by D&D, but the line is longer and more wobbly than some might think
