Hm.  I don't hang around with enough teenagers to really test my hypothesis, but I bet if there's anyone who's played the game and is too young to have played it in initial release, they probably have an older sibling.

There was a period around the turn of the century when I started running into friends of my brother's who had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned He-Man.  (Of course, damn near every cartoon from the 1980's has had a relaunch by now, and you'd have to start going to, I dunno, Jem or MASK to hit a point where that would still work now.  And those were certainly not He-Man big.)

There's also the rather interesting corollary that FF7 coincided exactly with the rise of Rule 34, but I decided my closing paragraph was pretty much perfect without adding that point to it.

i think it's more like, "this time we're not farming it out to the chinese!"

apparently the lead developer (well, the new one, after the original guy was thrown under a bus, possibly literally) went to management after polling players on what they didn't like and made the case that FF13 didn't exactly light the world on fire, and FF14's review scores were, in a word, apocalyptic, so he got what appears to be practically unlimited budget and 2 years to fix the series' reputation. The game's already night-and-day from release, and at this point i feel like i can see where the game can become legitimately world-class.

So hey. The guys at Square want to repair Final Fantasy's image.

And then they release this:

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Change the FutureTrailer [HD]

I think they're missing the point.

Picked up the PSP remake of the original FF.

God damn, these are some of the most gorgeous sprites I've ever seen.  Imagine if somebody actually made a game that looked like that instead of just grafting them onto a 10-year-old remake of a 20-year-old game.

【FF零式】 オープニング（特別編集版）

Maybe it's because I'm an old man but when I think of Final Fantasy I think of blue seas and green fields, chocobos eating carrots and cute black mages with their silly hats. Watch the video.

I would love to play a Modern 3D Final Fantasy that has the FF1/3/4/5 look and feel... No, FF9 came close but it was still different.

That's a hell of an image to end that on.

The last co-op battle is [spoiler]a ten-round throwdown against 100 enemies, including a lot of story dudes, and the last wave is Delita, Valmafra, and 8 Dark Knights[/spoiler].

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Ah, okay, multiplayer.

Because I've pretty well exhausted the single-player.

Probably not worth the hassle to try multiplayer, given that I'm running a homebrew firmware and don't currently have WEP set up in my house.

Trust me, it's not worth the hassle even when playing on two LAN-connected devkits.

I had a feeling.  What IS it with Japanese people and online multiplayer?

Plus, everybody I know who recently bought the game bought the iPhone version (of course).

Wonder if there's a way to hack the thing and get it to do the multiplayer missions in solo mode.  But really, if I want to keep playing a PSP game where I move guys around a grid, it's not like I don't have other options.

Inspired by Sharkey's story about naming every character 'Lavos' in Chrono Trigger, I'm playing through FF7 and naming every character 'Sephiroth'.




The results so far are pretty amusing.
