been playing ffxii in anticipation. i'm nearing the end, so it's unintentionally timed out well for me.

Yeah, the creatures were great. Reminded me of the chasers from Parasite Eve II. Loved the head-clacking thing they did. It was so unnerving and weird where you didn't know what you were looking at.

YES! I was pleasantly surprised by Arcadian. I just hated the camera work, my god.

I hope they turn into a giant Critters ball at the end. It's the only way this can be saved.

I have always been a proponent of the Critter Ball concept, and I think more media needs to use it.

...story and character writing are all substantial and engaging (unlike BOF I), so the retranslation patch is sorely needed for BOF II.
The original game was just done dirty by the localization limits of the time.

Totally agree with your evaluation. It's charming but my least favorite BOF.

Hope you enjoy your proper replay of BOF II!
I highly recommend playing with @theryusui.bsky.social's retranslation patch, though!
I'm sure you know the OG translation is bad, but please trust me that the...

For my own sanity, I checked the credits of several AAA games, and the word "developer" did not appear.
That's because it's not used as a specific role. Specific roles include the short list of professions I wrote in one of my previous posts.

I think it's important to educate everyone that "game developer" is the umbrella term nowadays. I understand that it "feels" specific, but it just isn't. It would be great if a generic term like "game maker" were used in English as the umbrella term, but it just isn't.
