There's a reason no one takes the JRPG community seriously They call Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 "mid", "slop" and "baby's first JRPG" At the same time, they say games that look like they were made for literal babies "peak" Look at these two scenes. See if you can spot the difference: Do you really think the only thing that sets these apart is that one has realistic graphics, and the other doesn't? E33 elevated the genre. But instead of celebrating it, the worst side of the JPRG community tried to tear it down

I don't think Final Fantasy 7 (1997) has a "Bad Ending" It shows Red XIII alive. If he survived when Holy & The Lifestream destroyed Meteor, then the rest of the party probably did, too. We can assume they lived in peace until the end of their days Midgar is overgrown by vegetation. Did humans go extinct? You start to wonder Then the FF7 logo hits the screen. You hear the sound of children's laughter From this Sound & Imagery, you can imply that humanity survived - but it now lives in harmony with nature. Like The Ancients did Because even without Sephiroth & Jenova, Shinra was still killing the planet. Humanity's dependence on Mako energy alone would have killed Earth This is storytelling from a time when writers didn't spell everything out. You could trust the audience to think about the clues given, and reach their own conclusion Is this a hippy message? Sure, but I think it's fine in this context. Caring about the environment doesn't have to be political. Respect for nature is older & deeper than that

I’m not one for awards, but this one truly mattered Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a deeply special game Everything it needs to be good at, it excels in: Storytelling, Gameplay, Music, Art, Acting, Dialogue and Sound In a world of $100 million+ budgets, it was made for less than $10mil When we were told $70 games would soon be $80, it sold for $50 I grew up in the Sakaguchi Era of Final Fantasy. In recent years, I had given up on ever seeing a game that could hit like those classics again. I’m glad I was wrong Thank you Sandfall for making this masterpiece. For those who come after 🔥 #ClairObscurExpedition33 #Expedition33 #VideoGameAwards

HUGE SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH IN FF7 SOCIOLOGY: There's a miscommunication between fans around Red XIII's voice change in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. To a Normal Person, this voice sounds cringe. To an Anime Person, this voice sounds normal. When Normal People say they hate Red's uwu voice, Anime People interpret this as them not knowing that Red is young for his species. This is wrong. Everyone knows this major plot point about Red XIII. The complaint is not that he is a teen for his species; the complaint is that his "real" voice is embarrassing to listen to. I hope that clears things up. More FF7 lectures to come! #FF7 #FF7Rebirth #FinalFantasy7

There is an attempt to rebrand Final Fantasy XVI like it's some misunderstood masterpiece. It's not. Here's why: 1) Its combat is insulting to OG FF fans: -It sends the message: "You don't matter anymore. We want a different audience. We still want your money though, so we called it Final Fantasy" 2) Its story is a bloated mess: -You could cut the entire the Desert segment, and nothing of value would be lost -There is a Main Quest where Clive goes to the shops to buy garlic. I am not making this up -It plays like an MMO, full of low-stakes quests to pad out Subscription Time. This makes no sense, because you can only buy the game once 3) It wastes its best character 1/3rd into the story: -No one cares that this was for "Clive's development". All it did was the develop the story into a more boring one -To add insult to injury, the game then slaps you with "5 Years Later..." 4) Its idea of "mature writing" is to drop the F bomb every 30 seconds: -Swearing is fine when a script is well-written. But FF16 tries too hard to prove that Final Fantasy can be "badass". As a result, it reads like teen fan fiction It's not a "misunderstood masterpiece" - it's just not that good. It has some strong spectacle (Titan & Bahamut boss fights), but these moments are drowned in an ocean of boring scenes. There's a reason it only sold 22,000 copies on Xbox in its first week. There's a reason it has not 1, but 2 DLCs - and nobody knows or cares At the end of the day, the only crowd it appeals to are the people who will buy literally anything with the "Final Fantasy" name on it It will not stand the test of time. It already hasn't #FF16 #FinalFantasy #FFXVI

The last thing that should have ever influenced FF7 Remake is Final Fantasy X2 That game marked the sharp decline in the series' quality & storytelling. It began the Dark Ages of Final Fantasy (from which it never recovered) FF7 had its own identity. It didn't need to be mashed with FFX2 #FF7 #FF7Rebirth #FinalFantasy7

There’s nothing wrong with mini-games when they’re optional & fun But when you “remake” a 5-minute section into a 2-hour slog with the one of the worst minigames of all time, it becomes a problem Not even the biggest Rebirth-lover can defend Cait Sith Box Throwing:

The Midgar Zolom scene in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth embodies the complete lack of artistry in this trilogy: OG FF7 -A monstrous enemy that is too strong for you to beat is killed off-screen by Sephiroth -We don't know how he did it. You can imagine him lifting it with his bare hands and spiking through the tree -The image is so visceral, you can almost feel it -Powerful use of music, intense colors, lightning & thunder to enhance the atmosphere -Looks like a renaissance painting FF7 Rebirth -Nothing left to the imagination -Slow, ponderous build up and execution -Sephiroth popping it in the air with a little spell just looks lazy, weightless and crap -No blood -Uninteresting colors. Nothing striking about the visual. Generic music -Character reactions to it are more the focus than the actual visual itself -Completely forgettable image OG FF7's Zolom is one of the most iconic images in video game history Rebirth's Zolom is not even worth mentioning If you're gonna change things, make it better. Or at least make it as good. Don't make it worse #FF7 #FF7Rebirth #FinalFantasy7
