Pet Peeve: The Undying

Except this rule is 90% of the time being abused anyway. “Giving it to the most deserving member” is just a deception sentence for “the GM or one of the GM’s direct subordinates get it.”

Mounts are cosmetic and on personal loot. Dudflex was perfectly within his right to keep it. Most people would have done the same.

My previous post in this esteemed thread relating to the FF7 remake was a bit of a downer. I was worried that it was going to suck.

But it looks absolutely fantastic, I like that they’re re imagining the game as opposed to just straight remaking it in HD. It looks like they’re fleshing it out quite a bit.

I am however still worried about the episodic nature of it, sure you can make the Midgar section the length of a full Final Fantasy entry. But when are we ever going to see it conclude? Midgar is such a small piece of the game relative to the whole, and I’m super worried we’re going to end up with another Half Life 2: Episode 3 scenario …

From the interviews it seems like they’ve only just started working on the second episode. I am fearful.

Aye. Midgar in the original took maybe like…5 hours? Probably less if you knew what you’re doing.

Is the pricetag we’re seeing on preorders for the full thing or just for the first episode?

Just the first episode. They’re touting it as a full game with enough hours to justify the cost.

Which is fine, if you want to spend that many hours in Midgar? I don’t, really. But idk, maybe 4 hour Honeybee Manor section.

I remember when I was a kid the Midgar section felt like it went on forever because I kept getting stuck on bosses. My tactics for playing RPG’s back then was to run from every random encounter and only fight bosses, I got stuck a LOT.

I was legit stuck on Materia Keeper in Mt Nibel for about a year.

EDIT: TBH Squeenix could put any price tag on it and know it will sell, because it’s Final Fantasy 7.

It did look like they’re adding more content to it (we saw bike combat with Jessie that wasn’t in the OG) but I’d be hoping for a minimum of 20+ hours of quality RPG stuff for full retail price.

So yeah, not quality I’m really concerned about at this point, just quantity.

Yeah and also the length and detail on that first boss fight with the Scorpion robot was pretty heavy.

I recognised all of the locations and monsters, but it looks like they’re reimagining a lot of it. Like them fighting on the train, presumably the one they jump off on the way to the Sector 5(?) reactor and the Jesse motorbike section as you mentioned.

And Sephiroth appearing for a chat. In the games I remember Cloud heard voices but at that point you had no idea who it was or what it was about really. I reckon they added that in because Sephiroth is hype and not seeing him until the flashback (certain that’s going to be a full episode …) would leave people sad.

If I had to pick a decent breakpoint for end of the first episode (given expectations of how long Midgar’s gonna be), concluding with Cloud’s flashback would be what I’d pick.

It’d be a decent epilogue setting up the next part.

Absolutely. They haven’t explicity revealed exactly where it ends, I can’t imagine the motorcycle battle and heading off into the main field being a satisfying conclusion to the episode, so maybe, just maybe, they sneak over slightly into Kalm to do that as well?

Also, I have no idea if they will do a world map or not or just railroad you along the story.

My gripe with Halo after 3 was lack of playable and allied Elites. I love the Sangheli, and I don’t appreciate them being taken away!

Reach had them in a few game-modes, too. I actually really enjoyed the elites in Invasion, because even though you were a larger target, the increased shields made you a more than fair match-up for any spartan.

I remember that. Was a reasonable game mode.
But I liked having them as base playable multiplayer characters, and in the story.

I know this is out of context, but:

Lewd.

Pet peeve today:

Does anyone know if there is an actual condition (mentally or physically) that allows people to only understand certain aspects of a text or speech and interpretate that entirely wrong?

Example:

Y person: “Where did you hear that Warcraft 3 was pretty good?”

X person: “I got it from Wikipedia”

Y person: “No you did not. And there are other games that are better. Why do you bring up Warcraft 3? Are you comparing what I said to Warcraft 3?”

Example 2:

X person: “I think you shouldn’t do this, it could have bad influence on your health. I worked as a medic for some time and I have some medicine knowledge. Here I found even this study.”

Y person: “Are you saying that my health is bad? I am more healthy than you.”

And much more examples come from a co-worker. I honestly don’t know how to handle this.

How can you misinterpretate each and every sentence that you are told? Once he told me I am sexist because he (apparently?) couldn’t even follow with what I said. Entirely different topic as we were talking about how it sucks to have these weird stereotypes of “you can’t do this and this as a male/female” in society. He was listening and a sudden barge in of “SO YOU ARE SAYING FEMALES CAN’T DO THIS AND THIS, YOU ARE SEXIST”.

I’m like “I just said the exact opposite.” He insists on his view and that I said something bad. Is this guy an ayy lmao ( :alien: ), a reallife troll, or?

Because I can’t tell if this guy is serious or not. You could tell him to “close the window” and he would give you the answer: “I am not cold.”

It’s called being stupid, Sadly all humans, even the smart ones, suffer from it.

I don’t think the person is stupid but certainly has some huge issues with interpretating sentences correctly. A conversation with that guy through text is near impossible since he will take every bit out of context and make his own things up for it.

If you told him “You should work on this whole interpretating sayings out of context because it’s just stupid” then his answer would be something along the lines of “So you are calling me stupid now.”

Just I don’t know. I had to think 10 minutes to come up with these two examples because it’s just such an odd and difficult to describe situation. Always putting up with the wrong part of text. Never being able to see the meaning behind it.

RL Peeve: Movie theaters. €12 to watch 20 minutes of commercials before the trailers even start. And then the first trailer spoiled the movie I was about to watch. And the second trailer was for the movie I was about to watch.

Good thing the movie was awesome. I am glad at least one long running franchise that has been building up for the past decade managed to pull of an incredibly satisfying finish.
