btw the Lao video is done and up for paying customers already and will go public Saturday, and with luck given how the next vid has been going we’ll be partying with the Samaarians by Christmas!

it's really funny, you'd think FFXIV Santa would just be a benevolent primal, a magical entity powered by belief, and any conflict would be because most other primals are horrors who brainwash and mutate people but no, they chose the much scarier option and made him Godbert Manderville

I know Monolith is the "how the hell did they do that on Nintendo consoles" studio, but tbh the amount they pushed the PS2 by Xenosaga III is arguably even more impressive, idk any other game with that quick of a battle transition

these are four years apart on original hardware

came up with the line "the only problem with joking that persona 5 was the first game to exist is that sometimes things are ACTUALLY inspired by persona 5" and i think i need to come up with a video where saying that would be on-topic just to slot that in somewhere

E33 wins again (sorry devs): this is the fastest I’ve seen discourse on a multiplat game devolve from into console war grifting

I don’t get it, it’s on PC/PS/XB already and even Pikmin’s in Unreal these days they’re gonna use some of the infinity money they made on a S2 port lol

obviously turn based RPGs were never dead but I’m amazed that ATB mostly does seem to be

with all the 16/32 bit stylized 2D indies out there, there’s lots of pure turn based and lots of turn based experiments but even most Chrono Trigger likes don’t want to actually play like CT

i still cannot believe there's genuinely a good chance we will be able to beat up vince mcmahon to the tune of a rage against the machine song in a final fantasy game next week, that might be the most based sentence anyone has ever said about video gaming

you know given how Xeno has drawn from and homaged western works in other mediums just as much as Japanese ones from the start I’m kinda amazed it took until Blade 1 for them to directly pull from western RPGs more recent than the ones that first inspired Dragon Quest in the 80s

so like what was canari pokemon named after if the canary bird and canary islands do not exist in her world

Lao is unique among his archetype in the Xeno series in that he's the only Citan to be a dragoon and not a samurai (or tech guy that doesn't quite fit any defined FF job in Riku's case)

i'm really hoping the remasters update the UI for clarity similar to the blade DEs because i don't think episode i and ii's are very good and the menuing can get very tedious

why are a (mostly useless) positioning diagram and the enemy hp indicators part of the turn tracker
December 13, 2025 at 6:50 AM
actually it's all just gemslop, it's only bad because it's good and good because it's bad, you wouldn't get it

was a single gacha game's title pronounced correctly yesterday outside of their own trailers
December 13, 2025 at 6:19 AM
it always cracks me up to remember that takehito koyasu has been voicing olivier lenheim far longer than dio
December 13, 2025 at 3:46 AM
gonna be real i don’t get why final fantasy specifically became the poster child for jrpgs being long; every single player mainline game is sub-50 hours unless you do everything and the first six are all sub-30

is it just memories of people not knowing what to do in ff7 as kids?

recorded the rest of the lao video and an hour and 20 minute analysis i am going to chug a bottle of honey and pass out now
guess who forgot he was going to start doing trailer analysis videos for ffxiv patches

time to lock in and finish the lao vid so i can actually get the 7.4 one done before tuesday lmfao
December 12, 2025 at 11:40 AM
is it bad that the most impressive thing about xenoblade 1 imo isn't an aspect of the game itself but the fact that the impetus behind its creation was monolith going "fuck it, morale's low after saga, let's make a game that'll be regarded as a masterpiece" and that WORKED

wait did pedro have a different instrument for each game in the medley this year that's incredibly cool how does he keep one-upping himself
December 12, 2025 at 6:14 AM
anyway the real takeaway from all this is that they need to put jennifer english and ben starr in xenoblade 4

The actual problem isn't glaze or it being hard to get E33 fans to try other JRPGs they'd also love or whatever

The problem is that I now have infinitely more faith in Sandfall's next game being original and not a watered-down, soulless clairlike than I do Final Fantasy XVII
December 12, 2025 at 4:59 AM
i hope the one sandfall employee who had to stay in france to press the "shadowdrop update if we win goty" button got a nice bonus after today, they deserve it

Sandfall are good people but it's infuriating how a non-Japanese studio can make a pretty typical, derivative (compliment) JRPG doing nothing different besides having realistic UE5 visuals and a couple Hollywood actors and get praised as redefining the video game medium
