Re: Preview: The RPG High Will Endure in Granblue Fantasy: Relink

@XenonKnight You know, honestly? I'm not 100% sure whats pulling me toward this so much. I think more than anything is I love the art style. Its the cliche anime RPG but to me looks different somehow. Plus it literally looks like a more fun, more vibrant, more family friendly version of FF16 which is what I wanted. Haha

Re: Square Enix Bafflingly Backtracks on Final Fantasy 16 Sales, Blames 'Slow' PS5 Adoption

Haha I KNEW it was fishy when they were singing its praises. I respect all who enjoyed the game but I canceled my preorder after I played the demo. What was he expecting when he made a Final Fantasy that wasn't a Final Fantasy at all? Now if the FF9 remake is actually faithful, all we need to do to restore order is buy the heck out of it. I'll buy 20 copies myself if it meant healing the series.

Re: Larian Studios Pays Voice Actor to Make 'Sexy' Baldur's Gate 3 Sounds Using Hand, Mouth

Yep...too far. What a messed up world we live in where porn is just straight up baked into games. To each his own I guess.

"Just don't make your characters do it". Here is a chocolate chip cookie but the chocolate chips are poop. But you don't have to eat that part though. Just eat around them!

And before you all get your pitch forks and torches...I like sex as much as the next person (with my wife) but porn is a destructive cancer on society and is scientifically proven to be extremely damaging to the human mind. Thats why I dont support it being in games or anything else.

Re: Granblue Fantasy: Relink Dodges Release Date Yet Again as September Showcase Is Announced

invictus4000

This game HAS to be an Elden Ring situation now. An eternity of waiting with no news and then a blowout reveal with extreme hype levels...which it actually lives up to somehow. Haha.

Believe it or not, last night I was playing VRChat and met a Japanese person who works at Cygames. I was thinking "where have I heard that name before?" Haha. Darn! I could have asked her about it. Lol.

Re: The Fantasy 6 Remake Talk Has Started Again

invictus4000

As with all classic remakes, I'd be both excited and terrified. FF6 is one of the best and needs more love for sure...but my faith in SE is at an all-time low after the disaster that was FF7R. If they changed any story points in a 6 remake it will be terrible. I'm equally scared for the rumored FF9 remake...my favorite game of all time.

Re: Poll: Who's the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?

invictus4000

I knew right away all the basics would pick Cloud despite the answer being Zidane. 😉 Against the emos like Cloud and Squall and the whiners Tidus and Vahn, Zidane is confident, tough, hilarious, soft hearted, and well rounded.
Anyway...there are many "right" answers to this question (Cecil, Terra, Squall, etc) but only one solidly wrong one: CRYBABY SISSY TIDUS. 😄

Re: Random: Talented Pixel Artist Recreates Chrono Trigger's Leene Square in Glorious HD-2D

This is what I'm afraid of for a CT remake. I can respect the artists hard work on this (looks very faithful to Octopath) but I HATE the Octopath visual style. It takes the bright, colorful, crisp feel of 16-bit era games and just makes them look dark, blurry, muddy, and washed out. The only way I can describe this style is that it looks like the game was rolled through the mud and sat in a hot trash bin for a few days.
I know I'm being a hater and am in the minority on this, but CT is one of my favorite games of all time and I would be so sad if this happened to it.
The DQ3 HD 2D looked a lot better though (brighter and clearer) so I know it can be done right!

Re: After a Year of Silence, the Final Fantasy 9 Remake Rumours Have Re-Emerged

invictus4000

I cannot properly convey my emotions on this. For me its the game to end all games. If this remake happens and it doesn't blow chunks like FF7R, I can die happy. I could never play a game again and be satisfied.

FF9 is my favorite game of all time. Not only is it objectively amazing but the nostalgia and personal meaning it has for me makes it special beyond words.
And the fact that most are claiming its more of a Crisis Core style remake without changing the core game gets me excited to no end. That's exactly what I'd want. The less they change, the better. (Can you swap Tetra Master for Triple Triad though? Lol)
If/when this gets announced I will ugly cry like a 10 year old girl and pre-order the most expensive version they have before the trailer is over.

With my disappointment in 16 trying to be Game of Thrones and discarding the lighthearted spirit of adventure (which defines FF for me) this remake is exactly what I would need.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

invictus4000

That was SOOOOOO bad. Granblue Fantasy Relink was the only good thing in there for me personally with maybe two other eyebrow raisers.
Personal tastes aside...I am objectively really concerned about Playstation now. If this is all thier 2023 has to offer...OUCH. what is going on over there??

Re: Final Fantasy Could Ditch Numbers for Future Instalments

invictus4000

I've pretty much checked out of the series at this point anyway, sadly so whatever. I've had 16 pre-ordered forever but I may cancel it with the recent confirmation that its absolutely filled with F-bombs, gore, and nudity. I know most don't care about all that stuff but that's just not my cup of tea and isn't the FF that made me who I am today.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Update 1.23 Live Now, Here Are the Patch Notes

invictus4000

@Neonix 100% agree. Haven't played the DLC yet (almost done with FF6 Pixel Remaster first) but had this pre-ordered for a while. I'll see how it feels but if its all in your face and front and center in Horizon 3, I'll also be sadly checking out of this amazing series prematurely. I won't support agenda pushing. This is the trending checkbox right now and not only does it go against my values, but it just straight up pulls you out of the narrative and ruins the immersion imho.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores?

invictus4000

@AtlanteanMan Best comments on the internet. I really appreciate your civil insights and watched with fascination as the same thing happened that always happens: people start screaming for inclusivity while rejecting all other ideas. The very thing you pointed out several times. Hypocrisy at its finest.
And as a traditional value Christian I can attest to your argument. I've missed SO many cool-looking AAA games because society no longer "includes" people with traditional standards. The irony is uncanny. Haha.
Having said that...I'll wait and see what Horizon 3 ends up offering but I'm likely exiting the series over this. You hit the nail right on the head. It broke the promise to the player set in Horizon 1 and forced a character onto me I dont want to follow. I hope all who dont mind enjoy the game but I dont need it in my life or in my house.
