Then what do you think? I'm curious.

What would you salvage from it?
The designs of the monsters and characters can be kept. The concept of the world, but like the landmarks and layout would need to be completely reworked. The core archetype of the characters is fine, but they need more of a personality, more distinct voices, and more distinct journies through the plot. The plot itself needs to be completely re-written. In the original things just sort of happen. It barely felt like there was any cause and effect either in your actions or in the world around you and the plot was so hard to follow I could barely tell you what happened. I'd probably make a majority of the beats be about deliberately hunting down both the Tombs where the Royal Arms are and the resting places of the summons. Oh, and make it so you can use Royal Arms without draining your health. That was so stupid. Arenea and Iris need to be permanently recruit able. The battle system needs reworked, honestly they already reworked it. It's called the FF7R battle system. The side quests need to be trimmed down in quantity, made more varied in their objective and context, and placed at specific downtime moments in the story the way 7R did so it doesn't ever feel like you're wasting your time. Ummm... what else.... the crossover side-quests were cool... those can stay....

Hilda fans rejoice!

Whose ready for Hilda and the Mountain King tomorrow!? :D

Making myself a nice cup of cocoa in the morning and immediately watching it.
I'm going to watch it tomorrow while I eat pizza for dinner.
Do you guys have any faith in Illumination regarding the Mario movie next year? Do you think Nintendo will make sure they don't screw it up?

Does that answer your question?

Noipoi Noipoi you will be happy to know Failboat's chat is officially obsessed with Gex.

They just spent the tail-end of his stream here spamming just "Gex".
I have never played a Gex game.

I’ve never even watched a let’s play or something.

And yet, if they were to announce a full on Gex reboot, I’d be down.

Such is the power of meme magic.

one you really think about it, gex is kinda the video game equivalent of shrek

a franchise starring a green protagonists filled with pop culture references and somewhat edgy humor

it was only a matter of time it became a meme

If there was a Gex game in like, 2005, it would’ve been full of Shrek references.

hey Noipoi Noipoi , is heisty Holidays over? Did it finish?
No, I just haven’t had a chance to work on the rest yet because I’ve been dealing with some situations. Kinda had a family member hospitalized, Y’know.

Things are more chill now, so I’m resuming work on it. It’ll start up again this week.

ACTUALLY NO I DID NOT! I'm so sorry man! I hope they're doing okay! If I had known I would have just let well enough alone but I somehow missed it. I'm glad things are settling down but I'm so sorry man.

The last time a company revived a series purely because of memes, we got multiple Bubsy sequels where it seems like the best way that they could be described is "not terrible". (which, admittedly, is a step up from Bubsy 3D)



That alone should make it clear that it's not worth it.

Night y'all. Want to get a good night's sleep so I can have a nice and quiet chill early morning watching Hilda and the Mountain King with my nice cup of hot cocoa and Danish cookies I got from my Christmas haul.
