Hobbies, do things you like to do. If you don’t have any yet then have some fun figuring out new things to see what clicks for you

It’ll be a game I’ll always remember fondly. I still think of that ending to this day, one of the best.

I’ve only played 2 and I feel the same way about it. I wish more games did this approach of using an open world as a setting for a linear game to perform.

You get the best of both worlds with this approach. The feeling of the world being more real and lived in, whilst having the tightness of the storytelling of a linear game.

I’ve always defended how mafia 2 did it and never understood why people wanted it to be more open world. The story had me gripped too much to even think about that stuff.

I always find it weird in some open world games where something in the story is described as being a race against time or so important it needs to get done now, but as the player you can just forget that for a bit and go do something else before continuing. Even just the ability to do that takes me out of it.

I’ve read the Hobbit and the fellowship a few years ago. I absolutely adored the Hobbit, genuinely think that is an awesomely written book. Fellowship however, is not a fun read, despite the content in the book actually being good. But the act of reading it is not.

Fair enough

Okay… I don’t now why that’s massively relevant to what I was saying. I wasn’t arguing anything in particular other than saying that I’ve not seen that stereotype being zoomer v boomer and mostly seen it millennial v boomer

I would say millennials blame boomers for the economy and the reasons why we struggled so much to get a house (if they even have one by now)

My partner drew this one

I never see anime stuff, and i don’t mind anime so it’s not like I’ve blocked a bunch of places that have it

Yeah i think that tv is still a smart tv just not an android based smart tv (or it might still be Android since that is also very Linux like, especially when you remove Google services)

I disagree, not that much has really changed overall in the grand scheme, just in how and when it’s being told. We mostly just get more.

Like look at the upper junon section. We get everything that was there before, except we get this extra section with the seventh in between the parade and leaving for costa del sol (and the recruitment section just before the parade). Which looking back was one of my favourite bits, especially early on.

I subjectively like it.

I objectively think it’s the best that could’ve been implemented for what it is, it being a blend of real-time combat but with the strategy of classic ATB turn based combat.

The game you loved still exists, and the new ones let you spend a little more time in the world, fleshing out little moments from the original and lingering on them longer and giving these characters’ relationships time to actually breathe and grow more naturally.

I’m sorry it didn’t grab you from the first 15 minutes, you truly are missing out on some awesome moments and gameplay in my opinion. Obviously the latter being mostly subjective, but I do objectively think it’s the best action/ATB system that could’ve ever been implemented.

Remake and Rebirth are so fucking good. They’re more than what I wanted because instead of just getting a basic bitch remake in more than just name, I get a fucking sequel that expands upon so many aspects of the original. As a fan. Why wouldn’t you want more of what you love?

Not only that they’ve shown time and time again throughout the games so far that they hold so much reverence to the original and show it so much more respect than a beat for beat remake ever could.

It’s 100% a sequel. It does not replace the original.

It’s not about amount of discs. It’s about dev time. If it was one whole game they’d not only bloat the budget to dangerous levels, it’d likely be outdated by the time it’s finished and will either need to redo large parts of the game so it looks modern or release a game that looks like it should’ve released 5+ years ago.

Imagine if FFVII didn’t split up it’s remake, not only would we not have any of it right now. When the third part comes out it’ll all just look like a PS4 game on a PS6.

If you want to argue whether or not they should go balls to wall that requires them to make a series of games so large is infeasible as a single entry, and do something a bit more budget friendly like the original, then fair enough. But then it’d just be a remaster or something not that far removed.

Yeah you get different levels of rewards the more you do it but it’s just stuff like fancy looking member cards, medals and pins

To me it’s just a truncated “yeah”, that’s how I’ve always seen it

That doesn’t rhyme though. Maybe “yea and neh” would be better? :p
