I played the OG growing up and always recalled it feeling like a much larger game. When I played the remaster and killed it in a single evening I was shaken lol. 2 really amps up play time via some interesting reasons to do multiple play throughs.

Interesting insight into the Mina delay and some great specific examples of what polish is.

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months

I think if I just didn’t have to deal with the stamina meter I’d be cool with it. It takes sooooo long to start regenerating.

I was building mage Ramza and decided to see if they adjusted the fight by not prepping for it, got immediately one shot. Checks out.

I hear it’s Aerith’s favorite.

Thanks to @square-enix-games.com I got to check out Seventh Heaven at Boba Bear! Got to have a tasty drink, a churro, Christine won me a Red XIII plushie in a claw machine, and best of all we got photobombed by Hamaguchi who just sat down next to us while getting a photo. Great time.

I usually hate a lot in English VO, especially when it’s added to a thing where I might already have a sound in my head from ages ago, but it really stuck in this one. Joe Pitts in particular really landed Ramza’s growth over time and becoming more confident in his ideals.

Bag in the counter, *sometimes* the fridge if I think I’m not gonna work through it fast enough

While I did go absolutely feral for the FF set, it does feel like keeping UB to Secret Lair drops, especially reskinned, would have been a better a balance to preserve Magic's identity while having fun crossovers.

But also certain UBs are raking in money and WOTC clearly likes it, so here we are.

Kevin Kenson @kevinkenson.bsky.social · 16d

Thanks! I grabbed that and the chocobo bundle. Retail therapy is too real lol

Kevin Kenson @kevinkenson.bsky.social · 16d

Guess I’ll delete too and see if something official drops in the next few hours

Kevin Kenson @kevinkenson.bsky.social · 16d

Oh I have no idea, I have just seen the images going around and I knew we were supposed to get news this weekend during Magiccon Atlanta lol

tfw when you finish an edit in time for embargo but your internet decides to randomly crap out so now you just painfully watch an upload progress bar in suspense

Kevin Kenson @kevinkenson.bsky.social · 17d

I'm between Expedition 33, Hundred Line, and Silksong. Curious to see what Silent Hill might do to that though.
