That horny Jap that animated Scarlet in such vivid detail should get promoted.

There's a lot studio interference with this, it's clear because the game alternates between bullseyes for everything minor, and then fumbling the ball entirely when it comes to the serious moments. The plate dropping is the best example. You can tell they were forced to have it be a lighter tone with everyone surviving. The original was hard hitting in how everyone under died and Biggs, Wedge and Jessie were killed off quickly.

My problem with the sequels isn't that they will be adding shit in. It's that the Sephiroth obsession is going to be amped up to 100 and we're never not going to hear about him. Instead of pursuing Sephiroth around the world and looking for clues, it's going to be Cloud spasming in pain and being taunted by Sephiroth every hour, on the hour, for 30 hours. I'm pretty much over him as a villain. In the original he was great because his threat was slowly built up. He was offhand mentioned a few times, then you only see all the blood and mayhem he caused, and then you see the giant snake he impaled. He's been over-saturated with exposure that all his effect is gone.

There's also the unspoken fact that most of his appearance is fanservice for Fujoshits who have wandered in from Kingdom Hearts. Who for some reason set up tent and made Sephiroth/Cloud the ship of choice. The actual reason Sephiroth gangstalks and softly/erotically taunts Cloud while Cloud moans with pleasure/pain is because some nerdy degenerate foid is getting her Uke Semi fix. It makes me sympathize with these same women trying to enjoy Persona 5 and having to endure the Otaku version of this. Having to slog through half the female cast/love-interests present themselves as pathetic, helpless retards constantly venting about their mental problems. That shit must drive women insane kek.

I'm actually enjoying it for the most part tho, ngl. The good outweighs the bad.

Boomer hate gets old because everyone is doing it, and a lot of people genuinely do blame boomers for their own personal shortcomings. Yeah, there's no denying that they had it easier and that they were complacent as things went to shit. I can't really get too angry at them not realizing young people have it harder, because old people just seem to lack awareness in general.

That said, it's not just Millennials that hate boomers, the silent generation that raised them fucking hated them with a passion too. Basically everyone that's been forced to share time in existence with that generation has been fucked off with them for one reason or another.

I'm pretty out of the loop with decent modern vidya honestly. Every few months I google "New releases 202x" and there seems to be fuck all games, and I can borderline not tell which ones are multiplayer only battle royale things.

It seems AAA video games are increasingly just filling the niche of the visual entertainment industry that film once filled. The actual gameplay loops are so simplistic and easy you often can't call them games, and things like Assassin's Creed and God of War are being carried by their theatrical spectacle rather than the actual gameplay. Button prompts, those weird ass cut-scene things where you can kinda walk around but not really, running forward and the game does intricate jumps for you and you feel like you're doing it. People put these games on in the same way they used to put on a rented video from VideoEzy

Video games might just be a solved art form at this point. Really, the if/else statements that constitute the actual gameplay part of video games have, for the most part, been all worked out by the early 2000s. All the garbing of better graphics has disguised the fact that under the hood, there really isn't anything new. The only advancements that have mattered have come from better enemy AI and the processing power to have more enemies/units on the field at once, and basically no new games utilize that.

It really do be like that tho

There's a bit of joy in seeing some well designed versions of scenes from the OG, nothing wrong with pure nostalgia bait. It's like the same reason boomers went to see the new Rambo or biopic film I guess.

The starting Bombing Run and the trek to the Sector 5 reactor are pretty on point. But you're right, it's about a 50/50 hit and miss with the beats.

Sad, I blew him off a few months ago because I said I was moving away from online stuff. He was super keen to hang out with me.
