Also, the thing about crunch is that in a good work environment it should only be a short-term, temporary thing (ie, "let's crunch through this part to keep on schedule and then return to the normal amount of work").
It should not be a "death march" (ie, constant, unending crunch).

God I wish this was brought up more
More hours does NOT equate to more productive. We have tools to measure productivity. It's never perf, but gives a good idea, especially if you're solo.
I want to praise to the masses that we should all incorporate some from of agile to our workflow.

I say this with all the love in my heart because Blue Prince is incredible - working 80 hours a week for 8 years very likely made this game take longer to make than without crunch.
More time spent working does not always equate to making forward progress. Crunch often equates to negative progress.

To be clear, there isn't really any sign that "Pokemon Z" was planned to happen. The teraleaks showed tons of cut content from X&Y, but nothing about a separate game. No builds, no project names. It doesn't mean that there was never a plan, but the plan didn't make it to advanced stages.

Yeah Ghibli dubs, not just the ones done by her and Mike at NYAV Post, have always been mostly great at this.

considering sony's relatively hands-off with their first-parties, it's nice to see them come to this conclusion on their own

I love how all the cool things were just part of metal gear straight away even then.

Seriously, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much of Japanese media is influenced by Star Wars specifically it's not even funny.
But the moment someone on the other side of the Pacific makes something with extremely superficial similarities to a Japanese thing, "RIP-OFF ARTIST!"

The whole "western vs eastern" animation/gaming debate is pretty stupid especially since they constantly take inspiration from one another. Final Fantasy was inspired by Wizardry and Ultima, Big O draws a lot from Batman TAS, Baldur's Gate draws from FF7, etc. Play both, there's a lot to offer.
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

Literally the entire basis for this claim is because they're both "space westerns" and ONE scene in Firefly that's shot similarly to a scene from Outlaw Star.
And don't even get me STARTED on "Joss Whedon ripped off Outlaw Star with Firefly", which people only started to claim after it became cool to hate Whedon because he turned out to be a jackass.

That second one would require them to actually know who Furukawa is.
People could at least do something wacky every now and then with their thumbnails. Like, have Game Freak literally nuking a bunch of fans, or have an evil Furukawa with devil horns.
