It's a pretty straightforward game where you run around and have fun fighting monsters. It discourages fast travel somewhat, so some folks are acting like it's a huge bold statement of game design instead the basic stuff that we had in final fantasy 1.

It's a great game for just popping into for an hour and then saving out and getting back to whatever. Last several times I loaded in and just wandered around vaguely towards a destination for a quest and fought some stuff as my new class and enjoyed my pawns telling me the roses I stopped to smell are generally used as a material.

Oh man the UI update was great but it was ultimately just a different coat of paint on the game I already loved and could see just fine with imagination. I was never able to get into adventure mode like I did fortress mode in classic, and new graphics seem a bit more important in that close a perspective, so this will be an all new game to me.

The Colonel posted:ff7 remake has background npc text that makes lesbian relationships in its world canon, if you don't want to point to the writer deciding to lay on tifa and aerith's relationship extra extra thick on purpose and directly stating his intent to do this in an interview I haven't finished the remake yet but it makes more sense for Tifa and Aeris to hook up because they have more chemistry and things to relate to. Cloud isn't even himself most of the time, isn't clear on who he himself is, and for the most part doesn't really have chemistry with anyone.

It's a really fun game. It's too easy on the hardest setting, but such a good system you can get over it. I really hope it sparks inspiration in other games. Feels so much more like commanding an army when you're issuing orders and drills to your squads over micromanaging every move each unit makes. Even other tactical games in the Advance Wars / FFT vein could use some of UO approach, like fast forwarding battles or skipping anima instead of just unilaterally turning them off. There's also a potential reason to see the combat besides the results, to see if you need to tweak your squads tactics.

Playing them at release when not everything has been figured out is great. You just have to be prepared for a rough launch, if weird performance and bugs or unpolished designs but you then you gotta walk the patience path instead.

Animated movies need to go back to voice actors, so tired of hearing celebrities stuck inside random cartoon characters. Very few of them voice act enough to be a distinct character and they usually are chosen to have so and so there. Bring back Casey kasem and daws butler.

ImpAtom posted:Eh. There are a lot of extremely good voice actors who are also regular actors. The ones who are good at their roles usually slip into them enough you don't notice. Obviously Mark Hamill is the neon glowing example there. If they're also voice actors they're voice actors, no problems there, but not every actor is and too often they contract celebs to do their normal voice or they don't otherwise deliver anything specialized to the role. Mario movie is first thing that comes to mind, plenty of characters using the celebs voice in the same way they'd use it in a commercial. Edit: and Mark Hamill is so good I watched a TV show with him as a main character and didn't realize it was him until the last couple episodes.

I worked at a place where I also paid the bartenders and bussers and sometimes a silverware roller a percentage of my tips. The bartender tip out was tied to your alcohol sales, so it was possible to end up giving most of your tip away at a heavy drinking table. And drinkers are total wild cards when it comes to tipping, plus some folks just seem to have a mental cao in mind. Doesn't matter if they spent 350 bucks on the meal, twenty bucks is the max for them. Being dependent on tips for a living is incredibly stressful, just a constant rubbing of your face directly into income inequality and you have to put on the cheeriest and most subservient facade you can muster the whole time. Absolutely miserable times.

Wouldn't be surprised if there were a bunch of dead games that are actually really fun if every player just gets all the stuff to mess with without any of the progression gambling.

Infinitum posted:Sunsetting should become an industry norm for online games. Plus sometimes old stuff finds a new spark with a new generation or just a renewal of interest in the future. Wasn't that long ago tons of folks were watching and talking about Columbo out of the blue. Realistically if companies did make a habit of sunsetting games with an eye for the future, even a purely profit minded one -- if a game ever became notably popular on private servers years later, if enough people are talking about playing this old game on private servers like it's a rediscovered gem, then the company could still always spin up their own official servers and monetize however they please. Don't even need to kill the private servers, the majority of consumers are never gonna go through the effort of figuring out private servers no matter how easy. Even if the game launcher just auto connected to a browser of flagged servers, more folks would still want to hop into an official server group if it were available.
