[Poll] How do you pronounce kentona?
Taking Risks [Game Dev]
People like to discuss the possible intentions of a story or a character being written in such a way. What is the author trying to say by writing their this or that character as the villain or the healer, etc. Sometimes arguments break out that seem to derail what else the game has going on in it or its other qualities that were clearly intentional and not just hypothetically. What if the author very much meant for this to be how the character is written? Even if it's uncomfortable (not criminal, just disconcerting), shouldn't they be given a pass as a legitimate contribution to the story?
What if it isn't necessarily the character but the scene? If you're establishing a serious or disturbing mood, how often do you allow the characters to joke around before the shit hits the fan? At what point do you run the risk of ruining the narrative? What if you weren't meant to be jokey yet what you've created ends up producing an unintentionally comical tone? What if you're convinced that it has to be this way in order to get your point across?
Maybe you would like to answer some of these questions or give your experiences on the matter.

FF7 has not aged well at all. It's hard to tell where you can and can't walk half the time. Watching Nick and Josh play it on Continued! and they had the same exact problem I did with the very beginning of the game! Took me like 15 minutes just to navigate that one room of Sector 6. Also, Cloud running up hanging wires just looks wonk as shit.
It's sort of like how Arin described Skyward Sword's motion controls, but replace that with Final Fantasy and pre-rendered graphics.

It bugged the crap out of me that Final Fantasy Chronicles had Chrono Trigger on it instead of 3 when Final Fantasy Anthology had 5 and 6. Granted, it was a loading time nightmare to play the second-best in the series (I'm talking about 5) but I distinctly wanted a Final Fantasy birthday and I decided that I'd finish my entire collection that year, even if it meant being a kid calling up a Gamestop to see if they had both games there.
Having a legit Final Fantasy 5 was awesome, however. I'm pretty sure I got that before the GBA remake came out (and I've got a funny story about that*) and it was the only reason I really wanted Anthology. I've never liked 6.
*At first I was like "man, Kirby's Adventure was awesome, but they only made it for the NES! Wouldn't it be super cool if they remade it?" Then BAM, it's on the Gameboy. Shortly afterward (probably while playing Anthology) I was like "I love Final Fantasy 5, bla bla bla," then wouldn't you know it, it gets the same treatment. For a while I thought the Nintendo gods were watching over me or something.
P.S: OH MY GOD, I just got blown to pieces by a nostalgia grenade! The early 2000s when my brother introduced me to emulators and it was specifically the SNES emulator with a Dragonball Z fighting game and Final Fantasy 5. He also got Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars (he also went to a used video game store to buy a legit copy of SMW even though he didn't have a SNES just so he could "legally" download the ROM). Fucking DOUG! Do do-do do dodo do do-do do-DO ♪♫
It's like I'm a kid again... I still remember sitting in my brothers room (because he had the computer at the time) and watching the screen turn from blue to default with the opening cutscene of Final Fantasy 5. This is magic... I guhh.... I wanna say Final Fantasy 5 was the first Final Fantasy that I truly got into, but I was probably introduced to 9 first through my school friend's brother and his Playstation. He was like "you should start a file" and I was like "eh, I'd rather not. I'll just watch you play." Flash forward to 2018 and I've sunk 88 hours into the Steam version with 79 achievements (I don't really count the 80th as it was the Excalibur II which I used the speed and level boosts to reach). I can still so clearly see the fuzzy character models on that old TV, though; you know, before they smoothed them over for the Steam release.
And man, that night that I was farting around on Steam and looked up Final Fantasy for whatever reason and saw that a store page for 9 had appeared. I nearly lost my shit! I was like "wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-WHAAAAT?!" Then came the two months or so of waiting for the damn thing to hit shelves and all the false release dates. I swear I checked that shit every day along with everyone else complaining that it wasn't out yet and that one thread I may have started myself discussing how Tetra Master is better than Triple Triad. MAN, what a life.
EDIT: I talked about Kirby's Adventure in there somewhere, but then I just had a nostalgia-fueled nerdgasm over Final Fantasy 5 and 9. Sorry about that, fellas; I just love me some vidja gams.

The most confusing thing I've ever been told was...
Whenever I post a screenshot the only thing I really truly WANT to get is UNABASHED PRAISE

God trademarked Earth, that's why there's no other planet in the universe exactly like it. Aliens are a lie to justify copyright infringement.
As an aside, "War of the Worlds" became public domain as of January 1st, 2017.
EDIT: Oh great, a page break to completely ruin the goof. This was in response to the Triforce being trademarked.
