how are ffxiv raids compared to wow? i'm asking here because its a toxic subject for some people

ffxiv raids are much more scripted, I haven't done a ton of wow raiding, I did a little bit at the start of dragonflight but I've done all the top ffxiv raids, from my limited experience ffxiv mechanics are more intricate but they happen the same way in the same order each time (with some RNG on who will be targeted by specific parts of the mechanic or which direction an attack happens in), so it's more like learning a dance, compared to wow where you're learning a handful of simpler mechanics that happen at random and you have to react differently each time

there are like 10000 world of final fantasy style games and i just keep hearing about new ones and i don't know how or why people keep up with them

at least poo poo like dissidia or theatrythm are different types of games

speaking of which the actual game World of Final Fantasy is surprisingly decent for what it is, although the tone is kind of all over the place. it starts off as a cutesy light-hearted homage to the previous games with some pokemon mechanics thrown in but by the end the story gets really quite dark and the plot ends in a way that is bittersweet at best. then the credit roll is super saccharine for some reason. it feels less like a deliberate subversion of expectations than a half-assed cash-in that suddenly decided to be more narratively ambitious late in its development, and actually did a pretty decent job of it but then it just ends abruptly.

Yeah Fanatical have it for 42% off for the next 22hrs which was good enough for me to take a look, I could do with a good AAA adventure game after the last few awful indies I have tried.

at one point i didn't expect game streaming to ever really be a thing, but another pro argument on the pile: less total bandwidth usage for an uncharted playthrough.

Also, don't name your baby after the baby your close friend just had. Which is something which happened to a friend of mine, and was very confusing and irritating.

Wew almost thought i would be embarrassed naming my kid "Demons Souls Crow" but video games are off the list.


c sekiro s: got the shura ending, loving hell that was rough. Feel like missing out on the whole last zone or two and a few extra bosses really hampers your skill flexibility making this ending on NG a doozy. Might have been easier if i focused on one or two skill trees but i was kind of being add and went for living force first which is... Kind of garbage tbh

definitely the big thing that takes me out of the game is that it's hard to take someone named Corvo seriously

in my head all I hear is people caling him Cabot instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp1RTGZxBTw

a friend of mine used to play d&d with brothers named Aragorn and Gawain, and apparently they named their characters like “John” and “Steve”. Finally got to live out their fantasy of just being named normal.
