Advent Children is really bad, and the only reason we got so hyped over it was because it was cool seeing Cloud in good-for-the-time CGI.

So good Red XIII gets like 5 seconds of screentime.

I’m going to be controversial and say I’ve been disappointed with almost every version of OWA outside of the original. The orchestral versions somehow don’t pack as much punch by omitting the almost industrial beat of the in-game version.
I'll be further controversial and say I was disappointed by One Winged Angel when FF6 had this for the final boss theme, which is also one of the longest themes I can think of in a video game that isn't ambient music:

and when you give it actual instrumentation instead of midi, it really shows its power

compared to Dancing Mad, OWA just felt inferior to me.

I liked Reno and Rude in AC.

And Rufus diving off the side of that building was cool.

OWA sounds good orchestrated but Nobuo just wasn't able to do a job as good with the PS1 architecture after years of completely mastering the SNES soundboard, which is also pretty drat good.

The Extreme on the other hand is so loving good and no one cares about it sadly.

In my experience everybody loves The Extreme. In fact, all of FFVIII's final boss themes get a ton of love except The Legendary Beast which was the best one yet never got a Black Mages cover.

I’m fully expecting to get a version of The Extreme in Final Fantasy XIV, because the current raid tier is FFVIII themed and one of the characters may or may not be posessed by Ultimecia

Almost every decision that went into making FF8 is beautifully nonsensical, and the game is better for it.

The hard mode run has been pretty quick so far and actually the materia/equipment make for most of the difference. I haven't been any situation low in mp which most people complain about for hard mode. Still early on but I remember struggling in the airbuster fight in normal and a few other spots. HP absorb is so busted and bloodsucker, they were kinda meh in normal in hard they are lifesavers.

I haven't watched an LP or really paid too much attention to FFVIIR stuff so this is all new and exciting for me.

Barret gets a lot more focus and attention with his speech to AVALANCHE and the Shinra employees. They even have his theme playing there when you only hear it one random time in Tifa's bar in the original game.

That girl on the train supposed to be Yuffie?

Overall,m I have no interest in ever playing this game myself because turn-based supremacy but I've missed these two and I'm having fun.

I just wanted Elentor to get far enough into her LP to talk about the giant sun lamps alluded to in her original LP (talking about power bills to light the slums, spotlights from above... it was uncanny!)

What's the difference between cut and uncut commentary on those LPs? Both episodes are the same length, but the cut commentary ones have like 200 views vs 2k on the uncut ones.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
Chip explains it in like the first minute of episode 1... but one of them has the commentary track muted for cutscenes (cut) and the other does not (uncut).

Oh, okay. Uncut it is then.
