One more illustration with Beaumont, because the season is absolutely on now.

I realized today why Stephen King struggles with programming.

It's because he doesn't like to write outside of Maine.

I will translate this week one for either: (a) $2,000; or (b) the right to secretly insert a fake 1,000-word scene wherever I wish (if you figure out which scene it is, you're not allowed to tell anyone. And no it is not the Barret x Reeve scene)

The latest Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Update has changed a line Barret says to Dyne. It originally said, "This is your chance to give your daughter a better life than we had."

TIL Tifa only equips one glove in OG.

This has led to the SAC update of all time because we'd made all the names and item get lines plural lol.

In today's Last Elixir video, we shine a spotlight on one of FFVII’s most memorable scenes. Enjoy a detailed breakdown of Dyne and Barret’s Corel Prison duel and a measured look at how it was reimagined for FFVII Rebirth.

The enemy skill "flamethrower" from OG was localized as "fireball" in Rebirth. There's also a different enemy attack also called "fireball" that is not the enemy skill, which was also translated as fireball in Rebirth. We had to match this is SAC for the localization consistency. Fuck me.
You think Kingdom Hearts is confusing because you lack the patience for a 20-year interwoven story.

I think Kingdom Hearts is confusing because "Dark Assault" is localized as "Dark Strike" but "Dark Ammo" is localized as "Dark Assault."

We are not the same: you clearly have spent your time better.

He thinks now that they've done Remake and Rebirth, it works in their favor since people now know they can expect new and exciting things from the third game. He thinks that was essential - that philosophy of not just planning it all out and making it the same all the way through. (Eurogamer, 10/30)

Asked how he fell into the role of Sephiroth, VA Tyler Hoechlin says that kind of describes it. It was a random audition that came through which he went in for and did the voice for about 15 to 20 minutes. He then never heard anything for about a year. [1/3]

In 2021, Nojima said with VII and VIII, the characters were vessels for reflecting the players' emotions in-game. With X, he aimed to make sure the characters could stand on their own even as players identified with them. That's a concern he's still dragging into FF7R. [1/3]

Nojima says that after FFVII came out he got sort of rattled by people writing stuff online like "Flashbacks are so hackneyed," so with VIII he hardly used any at all. But then maybe as a rebound, X ended up having tons of flashback scenes. (Famitsu, 2021)

I think I'm about halfway through Silksong and my impression remains that it is many times more difficult than the original Hollow Knight.

What's fascinating is how this difficulty covers a whole spectrum of game design. It's so much more than "enemies do more damage".

One thing I always love in older ff games is one-off maps that show a different angle from the revisitatable one you usually see. Lots of these in VIII now that I think about. VII has a few (obviously the church, but also Elmyra's house and Tifa's room)

A very kind soul happened to save the giant FFVII Rebirth ending theory thread I made in April last year before leaving Twitter. I thought I'd post it here for posterity and a walk down memory lane. Sadly no images were salvaged, so it's just plain text other than this sick picture of a prism. [1/?]

After a long period of training and attempts, I finally cleared Pantheon 3 with All Bindings in Hollow Knight. I got so nervous after defeating Grey Prince Zote for the first time in P3AB but somehow I still pulled through.

P1AB and P2AB are nothing compared to P3AB.
