A lot of people have lost sight of the concept of MMOs being a social experience, and not just a tunnel where you endlessly grind for gear (ideally in silence as everyone already knows what to do)

Not really, because it all circles back to the core problem of "why do you follow up your Endgame level conflict with this annoying guy who stands no chance"

It's an unfortunate consequence of every MMO becoming WoW-shaped, and at this point I don't think there is any going back to MMOs built around world exploration being dangerous and necessitating people actually talking to one another

They created a fun setup for superhero office drama, and used it to make as inoffensively bland a story as they could about defeating the evil guy who is evil and proving that the underdogs can be heroes too

Thoughts that can only come from the mind of the man who complained that Gundam IBO was too kiddy a day or so after the episode where the child soldier slaves perform a coup and summarily execute their masters.

You can also beat FF4 DS without those augments. I would know, since that was me not knowing you’re supposed to give augments to doomed characters

Any version of FF3 besides the DS. Even with the Famicom original the enemies are significantly weaker (because there are more on screen), it had Ninja and Sage as the mandatory best classes, and had a Cloud of Darkness on a very simple attack rotation which DS made way deadlier and random

Most turn based RPGs also don't lock breaking the damage cap to literally the very end, where it then becomes basically mandatory to progress

His Gears of War video is pretty funny. Tries really hard to squeeze something profound about post-Iraq War politics out of stories about dudes with chainsaw guns written by someone a little too into Mandalorians. And is probably the only person I've seen to love the Gears 4 shift to being YA

And it's always funny to see people act like spoiler culture has always been a thing. Makes me think of when the author of One Piece talked about when he was young and a kid ran down the hallway in school screaming about how Krillin had died

Nintendo absolute doesn't want people thinking about too much with Metroid. Fusion is all about the Federaiton being shady and ends with Samus becoming a fugitive of the state, only for Dread to just ignore all that and she's just back to doing missions for them because don't worry about it

It's really sad how the prequels used midichlorians to demonstrate how the jedi have lost their way by witling down their spirituality to genetic determinism, only for the primary response to it for three decades to be "they explained the force (they didn't explain the force)"

Nojima saw people not getting Rebirth as the classic low point of a trilogy (where fate seems immutable and events play out how they're "supposed" to) and said "slap the word Destiny onto the book please"
