Yeah, I get the reasoning behind it, it's just not how I've personally ever engaged with the channel.

Either way, though, the flipside of presenting it as real is that you control the narrative in a situation like that. Just as easy to say, "Event officials took a look at the incident and have determined there to be no ill intent or rulebreaking." There's always a way to maintain that illusion they've created without actually impacting any results or whatever.

Furi.

Saw it at a GDQ a long time ago and thought it looked cool, picked it up in a Steam sale soon afterward and thereafter left it sitting in my library untouched for years. My understanding of the game was that it was just a short, straightforward, ultra-hard boss rush with no story to speak of, and I wasn't confident in my ability to finish it, so I was in no hurry.

Finally took the dive a couple weeks ago, beat it in a few hours, and it absolutely blew me away. Haven't stopped thinking about it since. Its gameplay is masterful all on its own - one of the best in the genre for sure - but there's also an awesome amount of philosophy and lore packed into the narrative, most of which isn't apparent until the game ends and you take a few minutes to sit back and put everything that was told to you over the course of the journey into a different context based on the new information you've gotten. And that's all with a script that, in its entirety, is probably shorter than a singular standard JRPG cutscene. Backed up by an incredible soundtrack, too, despite most of it being far outside my usual preferred genre.

Definite top-20 all-time for me, crowding top-15. I seriously can't believe it's not more widely known and appreciated - I would highly recommend it to anyone that figures they can handle the difficulty.

They're doing better at retaining way less interest! AEW would love to be boring enough to consistently be watched by significantly more people than even their debut, by far their most viewed episode, was seen by.
This sort of shortsighted attitude would get you thrown out of any business meeting in the world except, perhaps, one that takes place in WWE.

And I haven't watched a single AEW show from beginning to end since the first episode of Dynamite so don't come at me with an accusation of bias.

There's the bounce back they needed, predictably in a speed event. Continuing the CCE tradition through three events so far of either being a podium team or bottom-3 team.

Saying Abyss has a great OST is a hotter take than saying the reverse. There's basically no game in the entire series that is generally regarded to have an above-average OST.
You legitimately don't know what you're talking about. Abyss aside, even most people who hate Legendia and Zestiria think their OSTs are great.

The thing I like most about Berseria's is how it kind of mirrors the tone of the actual game. Starts out all soft and peaceful, goes super heavy for most of the runtime, then ends on a serene and more uplifting note. Nice little bit of symmetry.

I will hear no arguments about Xillia 2 being the best OP. And now Arise probably slots in somewhere around the Zestiria/Symphonia range.

This ranking comes from taking the song and animation both into account btw

You know, while I've got this game topic here, a question for the Trails experts.
