Yeah... You don't want to know what I think. Here's the thing: I was an adolescent of the 90's. I transitioned from boy to man (though some would say just a bigger child) with the Expanded Universe and the GOUT (George's Original, Unedited Trilogy) VHS tapes as my moral guides. When I rifled...

I've played it, but I wasn't impressed. The graphics are slapdash, and the hit boxes for you and the enemies is waaaaaay off. It's not the common consensus, but I much prefer Sword of Mana on the GBA, which was more than just a remaster, but a complete remake. People usually ding it because, at...

But if the Cetra did that, then how did they know when the [α]-Era began? They would have to in order to reason that they were in the [λ]-Era. That implies that the [α]-Era's start coincides with their creation myth or the founding of their first major civilization. I think a third possibility...

Coming through some bipolar depression right now. I always default to Evanescence.

I don't know what we'd find. I'm kind of an anti-Vivisectionist.

I don't know of any others in FFVII per se, but in Advent Children the plate on Jenova's helmet is retconned to refer to a "[μ]-Era": https://thelifestream.net/lifestream-projects/analysis/4774/frequently-asked-questions-regarding-ffvii-an-analysis-by-squall_of_seed/ (Scroll down on the linked...

Ever since I was three and saw Land Before Time, I was a dinosaur nerd. Normal people only loved Jurassic Park. I was obsessed with it. But all that's to say, in 1987 Avalon Hill came out with a board game called Dinosaurs of the Lost World. My dad was a big war gamer at the time, so he scored a...

I've replayed all of the main series at one point or another. The ones that I've replayed after finishing, though, are: IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X. The ones that I've completed multiple times after finishing are: VII, VIII. The ones I've started multiple times but never finished are: I, II...

I almost forgot. Blue Dragon (a.k.a. perfected Final Fantasy V). An honorary Final Fantasy. I'll be frank: The story bores me as an adult, but I can see a younger version of myself having this as his favorite in the series. It has everything that made V fun, but with a Chrono Trigger coat of...

I'll bite. FFI. Didn't grow up with the NES, can't stand it because I'm spoiled by the quality-of-life improvements in the PS1 remakes. But I've played the original Wizardry and Might & Magic, so I recognize what it achieved at the time and do consider it one of the best RPGs from that era...

Yeah, I noticed this the last time I played about a year ago, because I've been learning Modern Greek to help me follow the Eastern Orthodox liturgy. I don't think it has any significance. I think it's just there to give a façade of worldbuilding. Relatively few people in the world speak Greek...

My group likes to play a lot of the games you mention. I struggle, because our glorious leader likes shorter games, but I like Twilight Imperium, A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, Shogun, Firefly: The Board Game, and Rialto.

I like listening to this one to get in the mood for work. I work as a behavioral therapist with kids. Chip tunes and synthwave remind me of all the great sci fi from the 1980's that got me into natural science. Shook puts me in an indulgent state of ecstasy to where I can just see the code of...

SaGa really doesn't get the love it deserves in the West. I never played Lennus all the way through. When I tried it when I was younger, its graphics didn't appeal to me. But it's cool to see someone restoring the original hardware experience.

I think you're all over-analyzing. Jenova's just there to tie together the themes of environmentalism. Shin-Ra, Sephiroth, Jenova--they're all just foils to get the playable characters to find a personal stake in putting the well-being of the Planet above their own. If the name chosen for Jenova...

I do also have Alpha Sapphire, have played a little of it, and like it (though not as much as OG Gold). I would LOVE to go back to the GBA days and do plan on buying FireRed and a back-compat DSi, but the OG Sapphire etc. feel like too much of a hassle to preserve given their use of save...

Well, I wish you luck, but it's just not my cup o' tea.

Yes, really. The sprite edges are too smooth, the color variety is too rich. No, it's not as bad as the mobile FFV and FFVI, but it's still too far from my fond memories.

It certainly looks good graphically. But I'm not much of a fan of crossovers unless the worldbuilding can be accounted for. I'm OCD like that.
