Must have been a discussion I didn't see. Not like it's a big deal or cost me something I actually was pushing for.

You know, like someone did to me last year with Basch. Would have been nice for that rule to have existed then.

We finished this up this morning. Pretty great, as usual. I'd rank the season above the second, but maybe just behind the first. It's hard to top that though and this came about as close as one could possibly hope to. Hopper is almost certainly alive, when he wasn't on screen for the explosion I assumed something was up and kept waiting for a hint of something. This show isn't the type that kills major characters off screen. The Russians were also mysteriously gone so it's pretty feasible he was abducted and he is 'the American', but they could have also had him go through the gate. For now though I'm assuming he is the American.

We live really close to the place where the majority of the season was shot for the record (Starcourt). Actually have been there before this season was even shot.

Lopen posted...

The point is that token lip service to being in the same world as a game from the series isn't worth much. Most would not argue a hypothetical Dirge that had none of those things and no Final Fantasy in the name was a FF game. Bravely on the other hand has a very similar feel to FF games in the presentation, the recurring themes, etc etc that Vagrant Story doesn't so much.

It's a Final Fantasy game because it's called Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. It literally has the series name in the title, and not "flying fairy". Dozens of games "feel" like Final Fantasy to me, from AAA releases to RPG Makers that borrow the sprites. I mean, did Final Fantasy XII feel like a Final Fantasy game right from the start? What about Tactics? They both deviate from the series tradition, even though both styles are well incorporated now. It's not about what it feels like, it's about what it is. Who made it doesn't really matter; other Square games aren't automatically Final Fantasy games and neither is Bravely Default. It's not a knock on the game as a game, it's just not a Final Fantasy game.
