For sure! FF2PR's soundtrack knocked me on my ass. I just think the music and visuals are running in opposite creative directions. HD-2D is overplayed but the DQ HD trilogy got a foundational upgrade

Also I just think the evolution FF is a rad tech/creative study

I getchoo. I think the models play better on the DS screen where the pixels are 🤚this big✋.

I love the remixes on PR but they're so jarring when paired with the Not-Retro sprites. Like, which level of fidelity are we going for?

Not a dig on the talent but definitely a dig a management, which is just the story of the industry these days.

The fact that they announced some pretty drastic changes to the game so soo. after players started taking it for a spin is not inspiring confidence in their vision :T

Shame, cause I do want new devs with new ideas in the FGC space

I knew the game was in trouble when they announced the roster size. Not because roster size is everything (though...in a team fighter you should have more than 10/12) but to be in development THAT long and still have such a small scope tells me they must've REALLY struggled to gain traction.

Preeeeeetty much. They've sunk a TON of cash and years into this so I think they need that ROI yesterday.

I believe there are plenty of forum platforms these days that are free/open source, you'd just have to pay for hosting. I know Flarum is popular.
