Do we have thoughts on the FFXVI presentation? I am for one pumped for it now, but don't have a PS5 yet. I feel like this is what FFXV should have been.

Everytime i walk to gym, i see a friendly mutt in the street.

I even named him as Safadog (pun name of safado (naughty) plus dog).

Hes seems so friendly, i dont know why i gave him such a discrediting name.

But i like it

Thinking to myself, "Man, FFXI has always had deep mythology references in its every nook and cranny... but what are the coolest ones?"

I'm currently reading about King Arthur thanks to looking up Camlann from Camlann's Torment.

Camlann turns out to be Arthur's final battle where he is slain by and slays Mordred, his nephew(or *** son by his sister).

He skewers Morded clean through with his lance on foot, but Mordred strikes in him the head with his sword.

Ruaumoko's got a 5-part (and hopefully ongoing) video series on this very topic.

It's been a while since his last publication. I hope he makes more videos :(

I remember watching a video where it was explained some of the yugioh cards referencing kabbalah mythology.

I guess, seems one of the most complex ones (obviously because its different than what we are used to). Many games, when they want to ramp up the complexity of a plot, they add some Sephiroth, some Zohar, and done.

Most wont even get a clue what is this all about, and think the authors had a friggin insight to build this

Could be good, could be bad. Matsuda is finally stepping down as the CEO of Square-Enix (yay!). But his replacement is from a company that was exploring the "exciting opportunities presented by the Metaverse" (oh no).

The last paragraph of the article sums up my thoughts exactly:
"But while on the face of it Matsuda leaving might seem like an indictment of that path [of gimmicks to monetize players], Kiryu’s background and Square’s announcement makes it seem like the complete opposite. If anything, Square Enix might be preparing to double down on new tech trends, and just feels it needs a fresh executive with more experience in that realm to sell the snake oil. We’ll see."

Man this seems to be happening all over. It's happening with Youtube's CEO too.

Trading the devil you know for the devil you don't. Brrrrrr.

His previous company was Dentsu Inc; an advertizing and PR company. There's no real red flags there, because tons of companies were looking into blockchain and metaverse ***at the same time simply because it was the current trend. It's not like they built their business around it.
The real issue is that he's been chief strategy officer at SE for nearly 3 years now, and there have been some questionable strategies employed during that time. Though admittedly, it's also possible they were plans already set in motion before he got the position.
Regardless, we won't even know if he'll actually become CEO until June, so all this pre-emptive shitflinging is rather pointless.

Whatever you do, just don't say "It couldn't possibly be worse!"
(Hopefully me saying it here doesn't count)

I'm reminded of a The Who song.

When there are nothing but red flags every where all the time, you can't even see them anymore.

Red flags are so common we need to stop thinking of them as pass/fail and start seeing them in degrees/shades. It's no longer that the flag is red, cause they're all red. But how red is it.

Kinda sad when a series gets mercilessly axed.

Like, the author starts preping for a brand new arc, starts a couple of chapters with introductions then… ends with every simple thing open.

But i guess, its more decent to simply drop the pen and leave where its at the moment of the stop. Trying to bring a minimum of closure is worst to the point of being funny but not funny.

Didn't generate enough hate watching.

Lead is female, it was doomed before it started. Unless she was crazy hot, lesbian nude scenes and gender fluidity.

Also the subscriber snafu spite non-watching.

Media burnout. Pandemic is "over" all media down and they're just not reading the new reality.

Just a perfect time for failure.

Just search for how many religions have a savior / god born to a virgin mother.

Or how many religions have a savior / god who was somehow hidden to avoid a massacre of infants that was supposed to prevent his appearance. Subset, who was found and raised by / as royalty.

Good stories get recycled.

Yeah I was thinking about this too. Everyone's so tired of being cooped up indoors now and/or can't afford all these streaming services with inflation and/or don't have time to sit down and binge shows anymore. Netflix doing what it did right at this moment in time was probably the stupidest decision they could have ever made. I know so many people who are unsubscribing from them now.

It's going to cause some sort of crash. A lot of shows have been dead on arrival lately, and it's just going to get worse with viewership continuing to plummet.
