Oh god, Nintendo Power art.

I'm not saying Nintendo Power art is necessarily bad but it had a very tenuous grasp on what characters from games look like. I always enjoy "Your drunk uncle" Cid from Final Fantasy IV as well as "Check out my package" speedo wearing Kain.

But Nintendo Power Palom and Porom are the stuff of nightmares.

NIntendo Power Tellah is The Good Tellah IMO

I think it would have worked better it Gladio's muscle boy look had been covering somebody really into court politics. Then his yelling on the train and kings most loyal pimp schtick would have made more sense.

If it helps, he's apparently just really into romance novels. Which I guess makes sense with him really pushing Noctis to get flowers for Iris.

And I guess since he comes from a line of service to the Crown, also makes sense that he also has 'loyalty to the Crown' drummed into him from early on.

Illusion of Gaia was such a weird game.

It, and Terranigma, were some really deeply written games for the SNES era. I really suggest both.

I don't even know of deep is the correct term. There's just something about the two stories that gives me creeps but in a good way.

Completely unrelated, Ardyn would have been so much worse if the voice actor didn't completely own that character.

FFXII is on Game Pass now. Played a few hours yesterday and I gotta say it's surprisingly comfy. Really digging the option to 2x or 4x the gameplay. Terrible screen tearing without VSYNC on though.

I've been digging it, and I might actually finish it this time around because the speed-up options make grinding not a chore. It also looks seriously fantastic, they've done a great job. It's also not a twitchy shooter so there's zero reason not to keep vsync on??

You may die of a salt overload, but one thing you can do to make your ramen extra delicious is cook it in miso soup instead of just water. You can usually get miso in sachets at the supermarket. Maybe use a little less of the seasoning packet that comes with the ramen so your kidneys don't shrink up.

Cecil would totally eat ramen noodles without the flavor packet.

Gau would only eat the flavor packet. The packet itself, too, none of this 'opening' poo poo.

Also, the most relevant good news from the Nintendo Direct: Octopath Traveler devs are doing an SRPG that looks like it's about as FFT as you can get.

Cecil would totally eat ramen noodles without the flavor packet.

Quina would eat the flavor packet by itself, but only once as a taste test, and then after finding it wanting, would proceed to cook some good restaurant-quality ramen with his/her own blend of seasonings.

I'm fairly certain at some point, Laguna would have eaten the flavor packet by itself out of sheer necessity. He wouldn't have enjoyed it, but he would've tried to make the best of a bad situation.

I imagine Umaro would probably do the same.

So would Gogo, but only because they'd be copying either Gau or Umaro.

Hildibrand would totally eat the flavor packet by itself, but would do so under the mistaken assumption that he was consuming something else as part of a brilliant plan to solve his latest case.

Nashu would eat the flavor packet and ask for more.

FFTA and FFTA2 are good games but nowhere near as good as FFT. FFTA2 is sorta close.

I知 excited for this new one. I am happy to see more Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy adjacent games be made :unsmith:
