i played parts of 15. it had cool momenets but was mostly boring. tried 12 but i bounced off the combat. i prefere either out and out turnbased or actionish. not mixes.

15 still makes me mad because the more you played the worse the game got, and it became really clear where Squeenix started cutting costs to get the game out the door. Noctis and the boys deserved better.

There's the forests before Juno where you can just spam Matra Magic to insta kill groups of 5 enemies for tons of xp, money and limit break kill points.

Then once you're done there you can connect fire to your elemental materia (bracer slot) to reduce fire damage taken by 50% (beta is fire) and then go for the Zolom.

Charge up all 3 characters limit breaks. Do 1 meteor rain and the zolom will use beta and then finish it with another limit break.

My way (which tbf I think I got from an FAQ) was to make sure that you farm Graviballs (Demi) from Deenglows in the Train Graveyard. Have the Enemy Skill materia holder (usually Red cause he's got the most HP) in the back, make sure he's got Sadness on too as well as Fire protection. Hammer Zolom with Graviballs (about...5 or so I think? Maybe 4) until he rises up and casts Beta (through using Graviballs, it should go straight to that rather than him having a chance to knock anyone out of the party). Red survives, learns Beta, then casts Beta right back at Zolom to win the fight. That used to be the way to beat Zolom first time.

Squeenix practices have always grossed me out. the hosed over mankind divided and deus ex in general as well as a bunch of other franchises. they basically send every "western" game out to die because they think every game will sell GTA numbers. hell, they gently caress up their own stuff too.

What Squeenix games are you thinking of? Most of their stuff has seemed fine to me, but I'm 100% willing to believe it's because of blissful ignorance rather than corporate benevolence.

The worst thing about 15 was how it starts out with this big open world with a ton of stuff to do in it but after a certain point you leave it and never go back and the rest of the game is extremely linear.

Nah, XV was just just rushed. Tabata worked on the whole of the game as we know it and talked about the game going linear partway through as a planned element.

The development of XV is honestly way dumber than "it took 10 years to make" since in actuality Versus XIII never meaningfully entered full development and they charged another team with rushing out a game almost entirely unrelated besides broad aesthetic and names to cash in on years in teaser CG.

The new Deus Ex games and the new Hitman games are the most obviously destroyed during development due to unreasonable time or content demands.

I always remember them throwing the first Tomb Raider reboot game under the bus because they released FFXIV that didn't even so much play like it was still in beta but more like alpha.

This is from last year, but it popped up in my recs yesterday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vev5Gp2skhI

Its an interesting watch. It reminded me a bit of when I was very young and mostly watched anime on Spanish tv and a west german channel. 90s Germans must of really loved dark SF OVAs. In the UK most foreign imports came via America, but sometimes it was through multi studio and multi country collaborations. Most of Europe had its homegrown animation industries, but they were much smaller than the US and Japan, and their audiences were much smaller, so it was harder to be sustainable. So it became common to outsource or work on joint projects with other countries. Nowadays its common for North Korean studios to get work this way too.

Anyway because of this there are sometimes British English and American English dubs of the same show. Like Insektors, where the American version is a faithful translation of the French original CGI show about talking insects in a generic fantasy setting. But the British distributors thought it was painfully dull so they created a gag dub and gave the princess character more personality and things to do in the plot.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_(cancelled_video_game)

The details are in the subhead about the cancelation, but tl;dr Fortress was a game that was going to be an ARPG spinoff to final fantasy, but after the studio released a couple bombs (such as Bionic Commando) Squeenix started withholding payments and issuing absolutely bizarre demands, like telling them the entire aesthetic needed to be changed or the aforementioned faxing of the entire source code. It was kind of a famous story at the time and the only thing squeenix said in response was a vague "they didn't meet our development milestones," worth no specific denials of all the wacky poo poo.
