Yuffie speaks in Japanese and isn't translated or localized at all and everyone just ignores her anyway.

It depends on the type of Southern. Southern yokel? Probably not but a nice, buttery smooth Southern accent is always a winner.

Of course I guess Cloud would be a yokel.

Also I'm from the Midwest! We rule because we sound like nothing.
You're supposed to brag about your accent in a 1800-word thinkpiece about growing up in a small town, ya corn pone motherfucker.

If Cloud is midwestern or whatever Aerith should sound Chicago as gently caress.

it's too late for this to happen but i've always held out hope that they would keep the grawlix in the remake but instead of just bleeping it they put in snes-style sanitary curses like "son of a submariner..." and everyone recoils in shock

FF14 is the best Final Fantasy game to come out in the recent decade imo and Shadowbringers is one of the best rpgs I've played.

Shadowbringers being so good that it was ranked number 1 PC game was great because it annoyed Gamers enough to start voting it down cause they didn't think an mmorpg deserves to be that high.

Finally beat Zanarkand. I'm glad I wandered around exploring and looting. It resulted in me getting some levels and skills.

I also found O'aka and while I wanted to turn him in to the Al Bhed I ended up putting him on my ship.

I tried some of the calm lands games and noped out. They're not fun for me.

I'm happy to have a story direction to go in now.

I'm waiting for a X-2 hard mod before I replay it because X-2 is abysmally easy. At least FVIII requires you do some work to break it, X-2 you just laugh off everything in the main story.

It's got that XIII-2 problem (or XIII-2 has that X-2 problem) where the nature of the game is such that you will do so much side content that you inevitably become overleveled and squash everything.

Also X had the best battle system ever and they immediately chucked it away in its sequel. What the gently caress. Some people on here over the years have complained that FF's innovation is a weakness because they reinvent the wheel with each game and so each new battle system has a load of new problems. Well, X-2 gave them the perfect opportunity to iron out some of the flaws in X's gameplay and perfect it but they instead decided to innovate again for no good reason.

The purpose of side content in every FF game is to become overpowered and make the main game easier. You can reset your levels on NG+, or choose not to overlevel, or restrict yourself in some way (X-2 throws so many options at you that you can cut yourself off from using half of them, and you'll still come out ahead over other games' total options).

X-2's ATB fits in with the sequel's change in tone and style and represents a refinement of the PS1 ATB systems. If X-2 kept with X's tone, music, graphics, gameplay, characters, story, what would even be the point to making it? It would rightfully be criticized as pointless and unnecessary - a cash grab.

I'm hopeful for the ARR redo in 5.3

Heavensward and up are justifiably lengthy by their quality, especially by MMO standards and the scope of their stories, but expecting people to get through (most of) ARR to get to The Good Bits is kind of a huge ask

I just tied up the HW story and yeah, there are more memorable and impactful moments than ARR in about a third of the length. At least they've acknowledged there's a lot of cruft.

FF7R is going to be a perfect video game and it’s gonna blow everyone’s tits off.

It is actually interesting because this is the only valid outlook and anyone who says otherwise is simply wrong.

Despite the fact that it is a “sure thing” or a “slam dunk” this does not mean you should ever pre-order it, or any other video game. Even though it is with 100% certainty going to be an amazing video game 10/10 A+.
