Guys, I get that everyone's rightfully criticizing Snake for her "forced labor is good, actually" take, but must this conversation at the moment be dominated by an endless cycle of

1. Snake says something
2. Everyone else criticizes it
3. Snake replies, saying something else

It just seems a bit unhealthy and makes the thread repetitive.

There's nothing wrong with expecting maybe a surprise bonus, but... yeah, it's the end.
It had to happen eventually. Hell, this lasted far longer than I expected it to.

What we gotta do is pull a Toy Story 3. Instead of trying to defy the inevitable, accept the end with maturity and grace. And appreciate the fun you had in the moment.

Chrono Trigger is the best RPG ever, forget FFVII and all the others, it’s better than all of them combined!

That’s just you’re opinion!

Nuh-uh! It definitively is! FFVI sucks too!

The DS isn’t janky! It’s fun! It can survive extreme temperatures! It gave us the best Mario Kart!

**** off, man. You clearly don't know when to quit. I bet you'll tell someone to play Chrono Trigger on the DS instead of wanting a new take on it with modern graphics. I just like FFIV and want a new take on it, it's literally the catalyst for modern action JRPGs. I know it's on the ****ing DS, it looks like Bravely, and you see how beautiful it is on Switch. Why is it so ****ing criminal to you just because someone wants another fresh take on it?

There is no funny haha anymore, please stop persisting.

I know I have good reasons.

Not depression, more delayed work opportunity. And if it clears then I get to mid-rung job which is pretty good for my age.



Then you know what it is like to be forced to do something that's pretty hard mentally on yourself. People tend to forget that people in the creative industry are human too.

Not saying you.
It wasn't in the field I studied for and it didn't involve my passion in any way. I feel it's slightly different. But I do see your point.
I'm pretty sure though that the die has been cast for this game.


They don't just do this stuff overnight, FP2 was in discussion as far back as 2019, and stuff like Steve was even earlier. If now he's saying "That's all she wrote", well, that's all she wrote.

I hope we get a bonus then. I really just want Geno. The longer it keeps going the more chances we have to get him.

Woah! I didn’t mean no harm. Don’t get all toxic! I’m just saying that it’s unlikely that a remake of FFIV or any other FF game that got a 3D remake already will get another.

FFI has two (PS1, GBA), FFII has one, (GBA), FFIII has one (DS), FFIV we covered already, FFV has one (GBA), FFVI has one (GBA), and FFVII has one, (PS4). They probably won’t make another one.
FFI II received a Wonderswan Colour remake, which is what the PS1 versions are based on. The GBA remakes retained the graphical style but added new content and changed the mechanics to bring it line with systems introduced in later games. I and II were then remade for the PSP, updating the graphics again and introducing even more new content, which then were used for the mobile ports.
The III remake on DS was also ported and enhanced on mobile, PSP, PC and Ouya (lol).
FFIV is interesting since it has a 2D GBA remake, which then got remade in the same style as I and II for the PSP but it also has the 3D DS remake, which was then again enhanced for mobile platforms.
FFV has the GBA remake, which was then remade with a **** art style for mobile and PC.
FFVI got the similar treatment to V, having a GBA version with additional content but then was completely ruined in the mobile remake.
VII's remake is more or less a reboot. You also have the modern console ports with slightly improved models, controls and quality of life options.
VIII got shoddy steam port that added the Pocketstation features for the first time in the West. It was then "Remastered" with quality of life options and upgraded character models.
IX has so far not had any remakes aside from modern ports with quality of life options.
X received a HD Remaster for the PS3, making the game widescreen, remixing most tracks and updating models and UI all over the game. The HD version was then ported to PS4 and other consoles.
I could go on about all the different ports and version differences but I should get back to work.

The fact we're willing to subject ourselves to this cruel fate


Were we ever in control? Was this all just a sick game created by a vengeful creator?



Or could it be, we're simply........


.....People who have no life with way too much time on our hands who obsess about a cereal box mascot game?

Don’t worry fellas. We may be going a bit mad now, but just you wait.

In the first week or so of June there may be a Pokémon direct, and a week after that we’ll have three whole days of gaming news to talk about!

Two more weeks to go, one if you’re looking for Pokémon news. Just hang tight, lads.
I can't wait for more people to complain about the art style of the Diamond and Pearl remakes.

Snake I had a work placement and stuff in retail and I hated everyone second of it. After a manager denied me something that was allowed because of my autism, I had a mental breakdown in front of everyone present customers included.

Just a change of topic but that's why I'm so hesitant to go into the world of work.

Maybe it's best to move on from this discussion?
Stop killing it with your pfps. Your Byleth one is 10/10.

Just giving you a compliment as I don't speak to you much directly.

Just finished Midway.

Surprisingly decent film considering it's coming from Roland Emmerich.
If you want an accurate representation of the Battle of Midway, you can't go wrong here.

It's certainly LEAGUES better than Pearl Harbor.

Ehh I think it’s alright to not like it. I can appreciate the idea, but I think the execution looks a bit...mobile game-y. Maybe it’ll look better when we see it again.

And also, a lot of people just aren’t into the chibi look.

That’s a lotta ports. I want all of them now. If only I had the right hardware... Another question: Why does FFII suck so hard?

Not surprising. Michael Bay makes Roland look like Alfred Hitchcock :yoshi:

I honestly never liked Pokemon trying to have proper proportions, those games just dont look right, at least with a chibi asthetic you can hide awkward animations.

YOU


Are entitled to that opinion even if I disagree. Though tbh it’s Platinum and HGSS I really love, base DP is just aight.
For me, it's just the map layout and the over-reliance on HMs.


It's p.much why I love Hoenn.... until the end game where it's just surfing. I feel like if Gen 4 were streamlined to remove the need for ALL those HMs, it'd be 100% better(Even if I find the map's layout to be awkward at times).
