Trying to think of if it would be funnier for this to be how you'd implement a difficulty setting to Pragmata, or if it should be random and there's like a 20% chance that she's an absolute monster in your playthrough

The main thing I remember about this show was the episode where they tried to stay up all night. It was such an extremely 'kid logic' concept and episode, it was great.

Given my 'safe bet' is a combination of things in the top AND bottom categories I'm genuinely curious how you'll react in the event that one happens.

Ask them what they think about its Diadem

This is also the state that about 40% of ongoing video game franchises are in for any gamer, but it's never consistent which franchises.

I have had to explain to people that, no, Final Fantasy DIDN'T stop in 2013-ish. I've also had to have someone tell me that, yes, Borderlands IS still ongoing.

There's a certain crop of people who seem to decide that FFXIV's story magically starts being bad and not respecting its own lore RIIIIGHT when they're experiencing an update in real time rather than as part of the backlog.

I mean yeah, my reflexive response is 'IT DOESN'T'

So, an interesting fact is that Fourchenault's character profile appears in the FIRST Encyclopedia Eorzea, which was released during heavensward.

A lot of what came later wasn't planned that far back, but Fourchenault seems to have been in the wings for a while.

I think the veterans of 90s/early 00s fandom warfare are just a whole different type of vicious.

At some point in the late 00s most people kinda stopped caring about those fights, so the people still bearing those grudges are like veterans of a lost form of war.

I was going to say 'what if it turns out they're enemies', but no, that actually helps.

And now I'm trying to think of something that would actually disqualify the ship.

I actually think the problem with DT Hildibrand is that they kept EW Hildibrand's meta humor, but didn't keep its love of the meta elements it was using.

EW Hildibrand fucking loved Godbrand's lore powerpoint. DT Hildibrand feels like it hates Hardiboiled's dramatic flashbacks.

Don't worry, they've got an entire third FFVII Re-game to re-establish her as a sad person who exists in the background to look pretty and be dead!

...you might be able to tell my faith in that project is not high

Ninja are just knights that have found the 'sneak' button

Eventually sunk cost fallacy kicks in and you can't NOT finish it.

There's gonna be SO many people mad when it turns out the Ascian prophecizing doom for the whole planet unless Thing She Wants happens is actually a villain in exactly the same mold as all the other Ascians that have ever said the same thing.

He didn't cover the non-English speaking scene, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's still true in Asia in a way that it mostly isn't in America.

That might actually be why. Patrick H Willems did a video recently about the 'music videos to movies' pipeline, which in English-speaking countries was huge in the 80s and 90s. You cut your teeth on music videos, then basically use them as your reel to get into directing movies.

An accurate depiction of a city, but at 5:30am on a Saturday.

I once had a Stone Vigil team with someone using the Scion Traveler's set.

As in, the 'end of Stormblood' glam gear.

These people need to be called out. At best they'll equip better gear they 'accidentally' didn't equip before; at worst you've got report-worthy evidence.

I think that fight's really good in isolation, but it just has no connection whatsoever to the raid series before it.

This could've been an MSQ trial, a Forked Tower raid boss or a Hildibrand fight and it would've felt about as fitting.

See, it's not actually important what those hobbies are OR how related they are to the story, just that they properly exist and get spotlight.

I hate Trip Tucker, but his dogmatic insistence that Movie Night keeps going is integral to how much I like Enterprise.

I think a very core part of Gone Home is that while it's not a horror game, it uses horror game tools enough for you to believe it might become one.

The story never takes a dark turn, but every time you reach a new room, you're going 'oh god what if this one's The Bad Time'.

Oh god it's also responsible for D&D Paladins

Okay I DEMAND more information on this one, I can't just not learn this.

Ein Dose's name is still Ein Dose, but they pick ENTIRELY the wrong pronunciation.

I think we can just safely confiscate 'The Cowboy Episode' from all American TV shows.

I thinknit's more Fandaniel.

Hermes or Amon, they'd both say it just with different intonation.

Several ACTUAL CRIMES would be less offensive than this to me.

Their legends sorta blend together in history.

I prefer selling AV as 'the raid boss that took years to beat', but that's not the story people know.
