New TREK DISCO trailer's got a Ferengi whose design is closer to what Roddenberry originally envisioned back in '87, so naturally clickbait sites are in an uproar demanding cancelation

Season 6 is gonna adapt some stuff from "Strange Dogs," so that's all the more reason a continuation is likely at the very least the intention.

Sixth season's only six episodes, but I'm not too bummed out about that. "Babylon's Ashes" doesn't need ten.

I'd be more miffed, but the cast and crew are still playing coy as heck regarding if this is really it. I strongly suspect we get an announcement for a miniseries or something either during or after the season's airing.

My brother just texted me "long line outside Gamestop, did something big come out today?"

I swear, if there's a long line for a fucking Metroid game, I'll shed tears of joy right now.

A lot of those folks may have been there for Pokemon cards. Huge day for those. Most of the people in line at the store I went to this morning were there for cards.

Yasunori Mitsuda and Michael McGlynn are composing. Also, this isn't Christmas. Nor are these PlayStation games.

Folks in this topic realize that by "trilogy" they mean 3, Vice City and San Andreas, right? I'm guessing this is largely just an excuse to re-up the price on those games, but I guess I'll withhold judgement until we actually see how they improved them, if at all.

I sincerely hope the folks thinking 1-3 are joking, haha.

<u>Bonus Discussion Topics</u>

Q1. Post-Final Fantasy X, and not including the online games... FF12 vs FF13 vs FF15. Which was best?

Easily 12. Great game.

Q2. Did you finish this game? How many times?

Yes, twice.

Q3. What went wrong with this game? Why no love?

The gameplay loop sucks. There are fewer named NPCs than any FF since the NES. The villains are dire. Snow and Hope. Most importantly, the script is bad. The overall soundtrack is a little meh for me.

Q4. What did you like about this game?

The visuals still hold up today - especially on Series X. Lightning, Fang, Sazh and Vanille can no be held accountable for the trash story they're shackled with. The battle system is solid. The battle theme is incredible.

Q5. Did you play and finish the sequels?

Yep. XIII-2's script is just about as dumb but it's a bette video game for certain. LR... exists.

Q6. A lot of people got I'Cie tattoos. Did you?

If a lot of people got l'Cie tattoos while jumping off a bridge because moms are tough, would you?

Uh, the obvious cause is that it's a PS4 game and PS4 is on the downswing in Japan, I would think.

Sad to see Kuro no Kiseki's launch physical sales at just 50k. Pretty big dropoff from the 80-87k of CSIII, CSIV, and Hajimari. The worry is that the reduction in "otaku" stuff is to blame here.

SAD!

Also CS4 had problems, but they're problems that already existed in all the other Erebonia games. So it's a bit weird to me to get to CS4 and then suddenly be like "this is the game that's the problem."

Of course I suppose I don't know what they rated the earlier games though.

I'm not reading James' review, obviously, but here it is - feel free to give it a skim! He gave CSIII a 9, for the rec.

I've heard good things about it but I also heard an early impression (that seems to have been exaggerated/misinterpreted... probably) that had me worried Falcom might actually try to do one of the only things they could do to turn me on the series. So I've been tinged with some existential dread ever since. Kuro might be safe but Kuro 2? dammit falcom it says something that i can no longer trust you.

i think dowolf is playing it so maybe he can allay my fears later. or confirm them. >_>

CS4 has problems but it's better than 5/10 imhotbqh.

But as for Estelle I'm talking about Sky the 3rd. Easily has her best moment in the series IMO. i cried.

Intriguing. I'd ask my coworkers if there's anything they're worried about along a similar vein, but I can't imagine they'd be able to answer me informatively without spoiling anything. Good think I have seven games purchased and ready to go!

But yeah, I knew I needed to start over after several years away from Liberl. I'm like an hour in and already shocked by how much I'd forgotten.

Yeah, I don't remember if we talked about Brotherhood or not, haha.

But yeah, pretty good!

I get why some folks prefer the earlier stuff's original depiction. I don't entirely agree, but regardless, after that moment, Brotherhood is such a superior show to me. I'm happy to know you got through it. The dub is super-fun, too.
