Title plus last name is more polite because it is more indirect. You are not presuming that you are close enough to use their "real" name.

Meanwhile, my wife hates casually using just last name (no title) for close friends. She thinks it sounds prep school, especially for women.

I mean. The last name is also the "real name", a family name. It seems more intrusive to me

Odd, I was under the impression that going by last names was just something they do in japanese society and first names are only for friends and first names without any honorific were for really close friends and lovers. In western society I've never been called by my last name only my first and even then only the shorten version of it.


I was technically told that in school, but pretty much everyone hated that except from some sport players for some reasons

  • Bigot, ingrate, sycophant, worm. So small, I could smite you with a step. There was a time I would smite you all for what was done to Storm.
  • Magneto: But today, I have saved you from your own, for an old friend has challenged me to remember this view of Earth. How vast it is versus how small we make it. Charles Xavier entrusted me with his dream, and it does not ask you to love or embrace my kind as your own, but merely to accept that this is a shared world with a common future, and that my kind, like yours, have the right to live in it. I am trying to be better.

Photorealism, by definition, is not stylized. It's entite purpose is to emulate reality.

Photorealism is a genre of art that encompasses painting, drawing and other graphic media, in which an artist studies a photograph and then attempts to reproduce the image as realistically as possible in another medium.
I know. That was my point?

You are not. I 100% agree with you. Trying to be "photorealistic" is one of the things ruining games.

Why do people act like I said stylised games are bad? If they made a x men 97 stylised game, I would be a day 1 buyer. What I wonder is why devs seem to think the photorealist style do not fit a genre

True but she was also the only reason why there was anything left of Spira to save in the first place.

Also makingJecht into Sin is the only reason Sin could be defeated, so once again butterfly effected saving the world.

Pretty much the embodiment of the Nolan "Die a hero or live long enough to become the villain "

Ironically, it felt like a bit of a redemption arc.

That said as toxic as Jecht can be, he is hot

This show keeps knocking it out of the park with every episode.
Those final few scenes with Valerie Cooper describing what many feel when watching the news along with Bastion's apathy speech hit hard. It's crazy how an 5 hour long animated series is able to easily capture what Fox was trying to do for 2 decades.

This episode also has my favorite quote from the season with the Wolverine/Nightcrawler banter.

Fox made made a lot of people see the x men a "generic action superhero" franchise when the social aspect is so important in that franchise

Maybe that is the issue. If you are not some jackass or psychopath people don't like you. They is why people like Logan over Cyclops .

People love Cyclops in x men 97 though.

Although I feel like some of us got older and we relate more to some characters struggle than we used to

I absolutely hate cyclops line of "acceptance must be earned, not forced" in the og cartoon though. I understand not wanting to resort to violence, but I have problems with the "earned" part

Square-Enix so badly wants to sit at the big boy table with other AAA publishers

Yet they routinely take exclusivity deals from whoever will offer them: Sony, Nintendo, or even the fucking Epic store. Instead of having faith in their products and releasing them to everyone

And they chase stupid trends like GaaS or NFTs, but are always too late to the party and their dumb shit always fails

This is 100% on them

FF7 was the 2nd best selling PS game and FFX the 5th. I wonder what happed after FFX. I

I feel like their identity crisis of chasing trends hurt them in the long run.

ESPECIALLY NFT

Their remakes/remasters of older titles were regularly performing better then expected, and large releases usually the opposite. I think any remasters are at least relatively safe, as long as they were actually in dev and not just speculation/an obscure old title.

I mean Final Fantasy 7 and X were well known to be system sellers. They were both in the top 5 most popular games of their eras. I don't think a lot of people bought a ps5 just for FF16. That's kinda the risk when you change the litetal face of a genre. Mario explored tons of different genres of games, but the mainline games are still platformers

There's also the fact that BG3 was very popular and Infinite wealth and persona as well.

BG3 and Infinite wealth showed you can innovate the turn based systems by adding a lot of aoe that is more complex than "one or all ennemies"(which used to be done by chrono trigger, but whatever). Mobility adds a lot depth to those games system as well. People would probably enjoy a FF that innovates on the classic formula

Canceling DQ would be the dumbest decision they could do tbh

It's already rumored to be a dark action game.

If they mean dark like Tales, like light hearted at time, horrible at others(People love acting like Vesperia is more mature than Symphonia due to Yuri being a more mature protagonist and one game, but I thought the themes were actually darker in symphonia)

DQ also got more popular in western countries(although I guess younger gens might have learned about DQ because of smash)

Dude isn't whiny at all for a literal orphan teenager going through the shit he goes through in the game

I think people would be more accepting now but back then he was being compared to guys like Solid Snake or Chris Redfield or Kazuya or Ryu or Scorpion or Kratos who have the emotional range of a teaspoon between them.

I think it's because a lot of us were teen and kids back then and young people tend to vastly overestimate their maturity so teens though they were solid Snake or Kratos when they were actually more immature than Tidus

SE is next level stupid sometimes. They were still talking going all in on NFTs long after they had already failed miserably.

They litetally sold Eidos Montreal for NFT after the guardian of the galaxy game did well. It just didn't do well enough for them. I feel like SE wanna reach GTA numbers, but the thing is, games like gta and CoD do pander to casuals who only play 3 games so while the sales are great, a lot of people who buy those games will have a small collection library
