    Strangest game criticism you've ever heard?

    Exactly what the title says. What is the strangest criticism you've ever personally heard for a game? Something that just makes no sense... Mine comes up rather often, and it's when people criticize Sonic titles for including obstacles that halt your momentum, flow, and speed. This criticism...

    FFVII Encounters/No Encounters Run Differences (Video Series)

    Figured I'd post this here for anyone interested. As many of you may know, I'm of the mind that most games in the FF series, as well as most games in the J-RPG genre waste a lot of their strategic potential by being too easy. Because of a host of ancient design choices that have become ingrained...

    KHII Level 1 Run?

    Anyone else tried it? I've already 100%'ed the game on Critical twice. So I decided to try, and it's really fun! A bit of a difficult start, but it works extremely well. Figured we could share experiences.

    What your favorite FF says about you!

    Saw a lot of people making "What your favorite (insert game series) game says about you" memes, and thought I'd make one to share related to Final Fantasy. If you disagree, feel free to make your own and share them as well :D

    Cool Cloud Strife concept art

    Found this speedpaint of a Cloud Strife redesign, and figured I'd share.

    Reviews Final Fantasy XV // Critical Analysis - David Ryatta

    YouTube recently exhibited one of it's frustrating glitches, and the growing channel for David Ryatta (known in some circles for his three extensive Final Fantasy XIII trilogy videos) was deleted for no known reason. Since he now has to build his audience back up, I figured I'd share his...

    Looking for help with YouTube intro jingle...

    Hopefully this is the right place for this. I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in helping make a small intro jingle for my YouTube channel. Wow, it's hard to word that in a way that doesn't make me sound like a moocher, lol. I unfortunately can't pay, and I totally get it if...

    Reviews Final Fantasy XV: Yellow Brick Road

    Finally finished my review of FFXV. It's long, it's detailed, and it consists of the ugliest footage of XV you've ever seen. Enjoy!

    Project Scorpio VS PS4 Pro

    The point of this thread is to discuss feelings related to these two iterative boxes of hardware, and which one we think is a more effective approach... if either will be effective at all. Personally, I think the PS4 Pro is a much smarter step. I've seen a lot of people around the internet...

    The challenges of a FFVII Remake

    For a while now, I've been writing down thoughts related to the FFVII Remake, and the changes that will need to be made, the changes that are most likely, the ones people may or may not want to see, and all the challenges this development team will face along the way. Finally got around to...

    Unexpected FFVIII Arrangement

    Figured I'd share this, since it caught me surprise. Anyone who's into Djent style metal will obviously know Periphery. Even if you don't, you might of heard of Bulb, a more diverse instrumental artist. Both artists are similar in that they include the musician Misha Mansoor (Bulb in fact...

    PC Best upgrade for aging computer...

    This technically isn't directly gaming related, so much as related to capturing footage of games, as well as editing the videos. My computer now is... old. But I also don't have the money to upgrade to a brand new one; not even close. So I was wondering if anyone here had ideas for good...

    J-RPGs and Game Balance

    So first thing's first. I'm a 'mechanics and design' guy. While I enjoy all aspects to games, I figure the reason we play these things as games in the first place, is because of, well, the gameplay. As such, I put a lot of emphasis on mechanical balance, particularly in genres like the J-RPG...

    Let Me Illustrate! - ZaXo's Art Gallery

    Figured I'd make a thread so that I can share any art that I think people might find interesting. A pixel art version of the character I use to represent myself everywhere outside of fiction. In fiction, he serves his original purpose, as a fictional character... not a self-insert character...

    Playstation Persona 4: Tips for Final Dungeon

    Obviously, this thread might contain spoilers. To be clear, I'm talking OG Persona 4, not Golden. I have been playing through this game since January. I'm really, really tired of the combat. And now they throw in a dungeon that overuses Almighty damage, meaning I have no real defense options...

    Reviews So Shall You Reap - FFXII Review

    Just finished a three part review for Final Fantasy XII. Been working on it since December, so I'm glad it's finally complete. Figured I'd share links here :) Each part is in a spoiler tag (thanks Final), so as to not torture anyone who may have a slower connection. Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:

    General Creative Pursuits - What are yours?

    I figured it might be cool to have a thread where people can talk more generally about any creative things they might do, have done, or wish they could do. Doesn't matter what it might be, even if it's something not traditionally considered creative. Love welding, and want to go into detail...

    Reviews I Want to be Your Canary - FFIX Review

    Hopefully this is the correct place to post this sort of thing. I made a review of FFIX around a year ago; I worked really hard, so it sucks that it just hasn't gotten much attention. Figured I'd share it here, for discussion, critique, etc. As a warning, the voiceover audio quality (and the...

    How're we all doin'?!

    Hey everyone. Hopefully a 'new guy' thread is okay for me to create. Technically, I joined in... 2008 apparently. But I also only posted a few times. I lurked here, off and on until 2010. While I never stopped playing the series, I did fall out of the Final Fantasy community for a few years. I...
