    I hope the game is good but I have no faith in Tetsuya Nomura and crew to capitalize on the crazy ass timey-wimey ending of Remake. I'm expecting a lot of "power of friendship" and convoluted timelines and multiple copies of the same characters so everyone gets to "live" in this version. I expect it's gonna be pretty bad but I hope I'm wrong. I'm thinking Kingdom Hearts levels of bullshit.

    Spoiler

    It really wasn’t a crazy ending, they fought fate, which was trying to force them down the same path as their predecessors step for step. Now they can move forward knowing they are making their own choices. 
     

    It’s a big spectacle, but the actual story telling is as simple as it gets. 
     

    It also works exceptionally as a metaphor for the fans of the original who want a word for word remake and act like gatekeepers of of it.

    No need for Cannon to make her play now.. you wait until near May of next year to do your nonsense, that in itself may be enough of a ruckus to force a delay until later.. its too soon now..

     

    though I personally cling to my theory that she will edge the rule of law to “disqualify/minimize” the most damning evidence against Trump to remain on the case and carry him to the end and ultimately give him a slap on the wrist

    She isn’t making any plays. She filucked up, had her hands slapped, and won’t do it again.

     

    hell, I believe she was even assigned a “mentor” justice to keep her from screwing up, but I could have misunderstood that.

    I stopped a bank robbery tonight in Akila. Killed all the robbers and not one hostage killed. If this was Skyrim, I probably would have shot all the hostages immediately after they thanked me, kind of like I do when I stop a bank robbery in real life.

    Same. Slaughtered the robbers in a kill lane coming out the back entrance. The prisoners were easily saved though, they were in the basement vault. 
     

    which then led into the main quest with Sam. 
     

    I didn’t get to play the last two days, was getting in some trout fly fishing before the season closed last night, so tonight im diving back in. 

     

    my Vanguard quest is bugged, so if I can’t complete that, I don’t know where to go next. Maybe finish Ryujin Industries quest.

    The long term effects of COVID are yet to be seen. There is a real possiblity of a "COVID generation" going forward.

    “Long Covid” definitely seems to be greatly over-reported. Theres no world where it’s 20%, or 10, or even close to that. the long term damage seems to be lung damage from the original virus, pre vaccination and mutations, usually with people who were smokers, advanced age, etc.

     

    it’s obviously only anecdotal, but the 2 people I know claiming to have “long covid” are EXACTLY the two you’d expect to make such a claim. Everyone else had a bad cold/mild flu at worst, and was fine a few days later. Some lost taste for a few weeks. Nobody except the two above, who are obese and have never been active, has claimed of lasting problems.

     

    I realize it’s anecdotal, but nobody I know is seeing any rising amount of “covid injured” populace, and almost everyone has had it.

    Took me a while to warm to him but once I did I never looked back. Very well developed and written character 

    I really didn’t like him at first. By the end of his journey, he was one of my favorite characters. 
     

    this game has the perfect amount of cheese for a jrpg.

    Spoiler

    Garl baking a huge bun of bread for a mean old sleeping dragon is incredible.

     

    if anything, I would say there was a lot of superfluous information in the game. Erlin and her partner are greatly under-used in the last half of the story. The Aephorul/Alchemist resolution answers very little, zale and Valere just become super lights and endlessly fly around because we made it to the end?

     

    I really don’t quite understand some of the later narrative choices, especially after Garls death, but it’s still good overall.

     

  6. I beat this today. I thought it was a little over rated. Certainly it’s not as good as Chained Echoes, which has similar inspirations, but it’s still a good game I had a lot of fun with.

     

    it does some things really well. A single party level. KO’s waking with half hp after a set amount of turns, simple stuff. 
     

    I beat both of the major side bosses, both harder versions of previous bosses. They were challenging, but nothing insane. Both used every item I had (max 10). 
     

    I love the character swaps in combat. Haven’t seen that in a while. 
     

    Definitely worth your time if you like classic jrpg styled games.
