FINAL FANTASY VII Original VS. FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION

[Marcus @Vamplosion]

I guess it kind of makes sense because Summer Games Fest wasn't streamed FOR Japanese audiences - but the JP language FF7 Revelation trailer is being watched more than the English one on official accounts.

@ChrisMack_ @Wario64 If it's any consolation the save file exclusive summons in Rebirth were designed in a way that they were only useful for very early game, otherwise they kind of didn't have much use.

[Marcus @Vamplosion]

@Genki_JPN The second game was actually really good - excited for this.

@_gaijn @auteurhouse I 100% think he does not think differently today

I really feel like Jack Quaid didn't necessarily have to motion capture being a cube but okay I guess...

@Genki_JPN I bet you could stick all of that room onto a single laptop nowadays. Crazy the jump in tech during that era!

Yesterday was the last performance of probably the biggest Japanese Band 'Arashi' at Tokyo Dome.

I saw videos of the area around the dome packed at 11am, despite the performance starting at 6pm.

@kristof56083868 @nhamaguc Nah, add more. I loved that shit

[Marcus @Vamplosion]

For me it's 16 - but it says a lot that I still enjoyed 16 and have a lof of good things to say about it. It just lacks the 'spirit' of what I enjoy about FF, but everyone is different.

[M. J. Gallagher (Final Fantasy mythology) @FFVIINovels]

Which Final Fantasy game would you say is your LEAST favorite?

[Marcus @Vamplosion]

@Genki_JPN Highly reccomend watching the Gamespot video where they explain how to break her kit so she continually explodes:

If I were to harbor a guess - when they first announced DQ12 they said it would be a 'mature' entry unlike the others. They probably decided that was not the right direction for a DQ series, which is for the best.

[Genki✨ @Genki_JPN]

I knew back when they changed producer for the entire Dragon Quest series 2 years ago that it was a sign of development issues.

Glad they could get Yosuke Saito to oversee things and get the project back on track. Seems like it could take another couple of years or so to finish imo.

[Marcus @Vamplosion]

DQXI Switch 2 version being region locked for language still implies it's probably just the PS4/PC version of the game ported to switch 2, wouldn't expect any extra bells and whistles.
