Southgate's subs have generally worked out, England have gained control back in ET.

Given his age, kinda want to put Chiellini down as MotM

If England win we're totally going to be seeing a full on pitch invasion though.

It's weird, because if anything Italy's players are the ones known for being shit in tournament finals.
Chiellini/Verratti/Bonucci have all lost badly in Champions League finals or the Euro final vs Spain.

It's possible England gassed themselves pressing too much in the first half, but I doubt it.
These guys have competed in many major finals.

I wanna know where this tournament version of Emerson's been all year.
Could have helped Chiwell get much needed rest and kept Alonso off the team.

I'm pretty certain Sterling will end up with more career goals than Ryan Giggs

Rice x Mount OTP leading England to glory

Grealish can buy time by just holding the ball and getting fouled.

80m for one Declan Rice plz

Why is Verratti considered world class again?

Go Mount!!

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

I still think if Maradona had not been the coach and treble winners Cambiasso and Zanetti started for Argentina, that team would have had a really good shot of winning that tournament.

I also think England are in an really position right now where even when talent doesn't pan out, the clubs are churning out more exciting talent like a conveyor belt.

Ali/Loftus Cheek don't work out? Don't worry Mount is out there.
Trent breaking records for Liverpool but isn't available? England's got plenty of world class talent there.
Heck you look at England's lineup from 3 years ago that made the semis and you can just see how quickly young names got switched over for even better looking young names. It's amazing.
Also a sign that no one can hold on to their spot for a decade because there's new guys coming up.

Chelsea have 2-3 guys already that have been exciting scouts and Hudson Odoi already went from a promising emerging talent to onto the next guy.

You can say the same about many of England's top young talent.
England are better than the Argentina squad that just won the Copa America.

Saka will start the World Cup games, he's gonna perform on a bigger stage.

Feel bad for big breasted Loli, but I'd feel bad for anyone dead last in such a numbers driven world.

Luna also had a playthrough going!
She's not gonna put in the same number of hours as Korone, but actually seemed more efficient.
Korone playing on Switch and Luna on Playstation, Switch gameplay seems slower?

Irys debut today!

Lot of speculation on her previous identity and if it is who is being talked about, then yeah I've come across a bunch of those anime OP covers in the past.

If you cut content for pacing purposes.
Which original areas can go?
Gonzaga/Coral?

---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

13 had a bit of a mixed reaction on release, Remake was really well received.
So that could be a difference maker, but with Remake some sections became a bit too long just to pad out the game.
If you remove filler you can cover so much of the plot in one go. I also want to see if the new consoles will have them making big design changes.

---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

If Junon is about the size of Shinra HQ, I think that's enough.
The roads between each location taking about as long as the areas that connects the Midgar sectors would be kinda ideal.

I mean, you remember how part one ends with them in a pocket universe fighting a giant ghost and Sephiroth, right? It can end wherever it wants and they can just pull something out of their ass for the finale.

I agree that Nibelheim to Nibelheim is a neat place to start and finish. Three new playable characters for the team, get Vincent introduced but not playable, still have Cid to look forward to in part 3, plus after Nibelheim, you've only got, what, five or six new towns to visit before you start revisiting old ones?

I could see part 3 running up until the north crater, so that the fourth and final part starts with Cloud lost and the team divided, plus you'd start with the highwind, opening up the world map. Them introducing stuff like Fort Condor as a mini-game now, makes me think it's not going to be used to get the Huge Materia, so the second half of the game might be a lot more streamlined.

Yeah but end of Midgar is still a rather natural stopping point because Midgar itself is such a different locale from the rest of the game and even in the original it's setup as a break off point.
In a fully faithful Remake, I'd have stopped at the Kalm flashback's conclusion, but I guess that's Part 2's opener.

I also don't think you need to have every location get the midgar treatment, if Junon, Costa del sol, Gold Saucer and Cosmo Canyon are the size of an FFXV Town/City I think you can start to fit a ton of content. Especially if you take advantage of the new consoles.

Oh, few outlets going for the greatest hits and using the classic "invoking the wartime spirit" line.

Whenever there's an occasion for it.
England just loves to go back to the war even, if for some time the majority of the people in the UK have nothing to do with it.

---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

If part 2 goes anywhere past Cosmo Canyon I can't see Part 3 ending on End of Disc 1.

After Gold Saucer Towns feel kinda empty.
But you gotta end on a climax and there's not much for Cloud between Kalm and Forgotten City.


---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Surely on PS5 you can reach all the way up to Nibelheim, maybe even Rocket Town.
If you stop at Gold Saucer, I fear the Remake won't finish until Part 5-6 on the PS6

England don't even need to be touched to hit the floor.
Grealish goes down whenever there's a slight breeze in his approximate area, but hey gets results.

Oozaru Police is one of the better gimmicks to have emerged. I hope they create a more fitting outfit in the future too.
But Subaru since the duck meme went viral has really been picking up a lot of steam.
How'd she make frying butter entertaining

England Squad might not change much for WC but starting lineup will.

Can see GK, Fullbacks, and a winger swapped out with Bellingham also a good candidate to get one of the two midfield slots if he continues his meteoric rise.

Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings.

I don't know anyone else who played EUIII. But Paradox games now seem pretty big on Steam.

Maybe Dangan Ronpa? It's more than just games now.

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

France started Sagna, Payet, Evra, Koscielny, Sissoko with options like Gignac off the bench....yeah that Euro team had a lot of guys no longer at their absolute peak or guys who were stars for good but not elite teams.

So that was an overhauled defense and Kante and Mbappe for the World Cup.

Italy and Germany both won 6 years later as the young guys hit their primes and the new emerging talent hit the ground running.

England can totally do what France did at a better starting point. (Mind Italy can too when taking into account the talent that's hyped but not in their squad)

---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Even if England don't win this tournament, they will be firmly established as a top 3 contender for the World Cup.

Anyone trades a Euro final loss for a WC.
Italy, France and Germany did that.

I think that's the idea, this is England's opportunity to use the most of their depth for a full 30 mins.

England in ET should really bring in the changes fresh legs to pour in the attack.
