I have never played a Final Fantasy game, so I was excited to try the demo for XVI. I played for an hour, 50 minutes of which I was watching cut scenes, and I confusedly wondered what I was missing.
This video informed me that I was missing nothing, and I feel vindicated.
Final Fantasy XVI promised to be an evolution, but instead it's a big step backwards. Outside of its impressive combat and cutscenes there's really nothing else here, with RPG elements in particular being totally absent. I hope this isn't the future of FF: https://t.co/9rkJr9FG5t
My hot take is Lightfall’s NARRATIVE failed to compellingly set up its core mysteries, characters and settings to the point its resolution felt meaningless.
To me, Destiny *campaigns* often feel lackluster or serviceable.
Lightfall’s is a frustrating, D1 Vanilla-level failure. https://t.co/v4mwpHrpuA
Even made a bonus viddie for those that got lost during the platforming — like my fireteam 🙊 😂

Psst. The new Destiny dungeon is a blast. And also trickier to figure out than some raids. Unless you know what to do ��� #Destiny2 #GhostsOfTheDeep

Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same. Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population. https://t.co/zJdP8eHtQW
So, #StarTrekPicard good. #StarTrekLegacy when?
It’s hard enough to get people to care about a “reboot,” but to get new people excited for its potential spin-off? New viewers and old?
This is lightning in a bottle, @StarTrekOnPPlus. Strange New Worlds set the precedent 🖖🏻
@TrekGeekBill I don’t begrudge the joy nostalgia brings people, but I’m *personally* bummed by how many things in Picard that were swept aside to build the climax of Ep 9.
I’d list them all, but don’t wanna pay for Twitter Blue 😂
My feelings are less anti-nostalgia and more pro-evolution.
Nostalgia has value, but often comes at the cost of originality or integrity.
Here, it doesn’t detract from the plot of the S3 mystery box, but it takes up so much space that whole characters, plot lines and backstories were dismissed so it could happen.
That’s a big impact.
