What are you thinking about right now?
Going into my first adventure with Game-Story writing is pretty tough, but I'm learning a lot of things. Etymology ended up becoming a important thing to me now.
Baldur's Gate Siege of Dragonspear Controversy
You see, there’s a significant contingent of the mob who suggests that the problem with Mizhena was not her very existence, but the fact that she was badly written and tokenized. No real trans person, they claim, would talk so freely and so quickly to a stranger about their history. An even more interesting permutation of this claim has mutated on the Steam forums, prompted by one transgender poster, Jinx, who angrily declaims Amber Scott and says:
“Thank you so much from a trans gamer for painting a target on our backs once again so you can virtue signal how progressive you are. It wouldn't be enough to just, I don't know, put a trans person in a game and have them there as a character. No, it has to be a political statement and you have to just let everyone know it.”
I don't know what is going on with all that, but looks like it is getting out of hand.
===================================================================================
The problem for me is how Amber Scott tried to change Jaheira & Safana after reading her negative opinions on the two characters. Jaheira is less of a problem if she was trying to change her to her BG2 self then that makes more sense, but Safana suddenly made a personality switch out of no where, and it just felt off for everyone playing (I think Safana appears in BG2, but I'm not sure on that).
I have other lesser issues like the Goblin knowing something about Racism (That is way out of place for a Goblin to know something about that).
I think what made things worse for Amber is when she made a very poorly worded post one day, and it rubbed people the wrong way. Whether she was joking or not...that was just a bad situation.
Here is something else that seems more in-depth in what is going on:

Baldur's Gate Siege of Dragonspear Controversy
I've been talking to the BG forum people, and does appear there seems to be misleading accusations. The real issue throughout all this is that the Writer touched on characters that was not hers, and the characters felt off because of that.

Update:
This article is pretty misleading...I got a more of a better perspective over at the BG forums.

Is Hero's Realm worth remaking commercially?
The only input I can say if this game is going commercial is that everything will have to be customized considering the circumstances with this game. It will take a lot of work...I would say around 3+ years or more depending how competent your team will be with this game if it is a simple 2D JRPG.
Retirement
You been a great Admin, and always keep in touch when you can. WIP has sort of disappeared on us, don't do the same! lol
The Last King of Hyrule
I want to add that Zelda Classic also has 2.50.2 engine hosted elsewhere. I don't know what the engine does or what it is capable of. I know the current standard right now is the 2.50 or later engines, but right now 2.50.1 & 2.50.2 don't seem to get a lot of use..(and this probably due to the community moving on in more recent times).
Here is the talk right now on 2.50.2 which is the latest build right now that is not hosted on Zelda Classic. There is a lot of additions, and bugfixes:

Alright...
Which one of you broke RMN??
Oh..to answer to that video of FF. I would recommend playing the very first one, and preferably the PSP version since it's extra stuff is worth it.
