@tremordragon @GobaDev That might be something a later writer came to years after, but I am pretty sure the original game is implying it's because of Aerith's influence.

The House Azure ุงูุถู

@GobaDev Nope. The house had a garden with flowers since long before Aerith arrived, and the reason for the wealth discrepancy is Elmyra's in-laws were big contractors with connections at Shinra. All this is in Aerith's segment of "Traces of Two Pasts."
English
is the implication not that aerith radiates some sort of aura that makes nature spring up around places she cares about. both the church and her house are covered in the only flowers we see in midgar
Joshiepoo@Joshiepoo2525
The distribution of wealth in the FF7 sector 5 slums is kinda wack. What does Elmyra do for a living??
English
@SuperButterBuns I think the missing context was the months of people hyping themselves up about how this will be a revolution for gaming as a whole - which was always going to be wrong even at more affordable prices. People were emotionally invested in this being the console killer.
English
Folks acting like Valve is a part of the "console wars" and losing with these prices is very funny. Like this is a compact PC, and Valve makes billions with their eyes closed. They legit made this thing for kicks, not because its essential hardware for their business to survive

@katok_exe In the first image the braid has come in front of the lower part of the ear and is just obscuring the earring, you can see it across her shoulder, while in the second her body has shifted and the braid has fallen back to expose the full ear. Not AI, just compressed video.

@Jamie_JSJ All it needs is one miscommunication in the marketing department for someone to assume "PlayStation Account" means "PlayStation Plus Account". Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity!
English
Donโt believe itโs a mistake for a second. These people arenโt stupid, and this text will have gone through at least 2 pairs of eyes before going up. Nobody working at Xbox or 343 is dense enough to not understand the subscriptions for 2 of the main gaming platforms.
Halo@Halo
We incorrectly stated that PlayStation Plus is required for local co-op splitscreen play. Local splitscreen co-op requires a PlayStation account for each player but does not require a PlayStation Plus account.
English
@rinsass This is because Microsoft forces you to use an Xbox account in order to play. No other game on Playstation has this issue.
English
You can tell Sony genuinely thinks they deserve to live

@Young_Anglican One of the more obnoxious consequences of AI proliferation is not very bright people accusing anything they don't personally like of being AI.
English
This... this is AI? The shot composition (mostly wide shots) and the animation style feel like AI

First trailer for Disneyโs โHEXEDโ has been released. In theatres November 25.
English
@uahikea @Sportsfan4233 A connotation can imply something without that something actually being true. Maybe it SHOULD be changed simply to avoid even the misunderstanding, but that's not the same as it actually being colonial violence.
English
New Zealand World Cup menโs team nickname is: The All Whites. I donโt care why. This is violence of the settler colonial, white supremacist, and white nationalist type.
English
@ArisakaAya @sneedofast41854 That's why it's bad. Someone sat down to write a story about a child bride in Star Wars and decided the way to do that was give her sex appeal. It's a very weird thing for a writer to do!
English
The whole discourse over this character (young female imperial officer) being problematic is really funny to me
"She uses her youth and sex appeal to get what she wants" yeah that's the point and it shows how totally immoral she is and how corrupt the Empire is, she's a villain!
English
@sugarfreexanax Jedi power ranking is just silly in general. Luke's strength wasn't in the mastery of force techniques, it was in his belief in the inherent goodness of his father, and his willingness to turn off his saber.
English
The problem with the OT is that itโs limited by technology from the time. Luke is the most powerful Jedi of all time, and the only Jedi to have ever had potential at/above his level is Anakin.
This is a canon fact, regardless of how characters are depicted in other media.

Collider has given their top 5 Jedi who are more powerful than Luke Skywalker in their opinion! Ahsoka Tano Anakin Skywalker Mace Windu Rey Yoda Source: @Collider

The level of propaganda Sony has gotten away with to convince people their discs are still true physical media needs to be studied.
The last console that could fully store and read games directly from discs was the Wii U.
This whole war against GKC is performative as hell.

Hard to be excited for all the "new" announcements at the Nintendo Direct. When majority of them or just key cards. Tell me why should I or anyone else buy a Switch 2 again???
English
@JermSeventy @AnAverageGamerX That's just how computers work. You're confusing "digital" (Binary electrical states in a computer) with "digital" (A shorthand for data downloaded from the internet).
English
@saribble @AnAverageGamerX No. Every game is digital now. When the game gets loaded onto ram it turns your physical copy into a digital one.
English
@rumblepam The larger divide on it I have noticed is age, with streaming coming to dominate the way a lot of younger people engage with games at all.
English
@uniquemoviemom Fun fact, it originally WAS blue in the first effects pass but they later changed it to green because it was getting lost against the blue sky. Always love how many artistic choices in these movies are the result of technical challenges.
English
Before this film, lightsabers were only blue and red. Audiences in 1983 must've lost their minds at the reveal of a green lightsaber.
I love how Luke has grown so much that he can basically take Boba Fett while being distracted, and not even consider him a threat.
English
@AntonHand @Fregg_real This is exactly the problem. They're artworks, of a context and moment in time. The fact Halo was rushed together by specific people in 2001 with the technology they had is part of the artistry. Audiences are capable of appreciating that!
English
@Fregg_real I don't think the goal is to surpass it. It's to repackage owned IP into a skin inline with modern consumer expectations. It's quite literally -not- for people who ever played the original.
English
@Shiza_Kiwami I'm not saying you said that, just conceptually that the market thinks these remakes need to exist.
English
@saribble Youโre making up a hypothetical person and claiming I made statements I never made. If you donโt have access to the remake emulation or pirate. I donโt gaf lmfao
English
Starting to realize that 90% of remake hate just stems from insecurity that what you grew up with is no longer new, and in some cases dated
English
@AdequateEmily You'd be more than welcome to join us on Team New Zealand! Hmm, who are we up against first... Oh.

The World Cup is coming at a weird time for me as an American, as Iโm pretty critical of American nationalism considering how itโs being used by our government to excuse some horrible actionsโฆbut also likeโฆwho the fuck else am I going to root for besides Team USA?
English
@TAHK0 On the contrary though, I think the Final Mix versions are TERRIBLE for this. The added content only makes sense coming back to them after later games and for a first-timer will really muddle what they are supposed to have learned up to that point.
English
I think kingdom hearts is actually really easy to understand nowadays because almost all of the games are accessible and they repeat the lore bits over and over
I think people have just repeated that itโs so hard to understand for so long that itโs the main assumption going in
Kabi@KabiPlays
Valid answer.
English
@cassieblooms @madcap412 Wow, ignore that weirdo. The games are mostly all their own distinct things, so you can hop around between eras freely. Zelda II is the only one that feels distinctly out of place, but even that's worth checking out. Hope you enjoy!
English
I've never played the Zelda games before and I'm going to play through all of them in excitement of the remake announcement
are any of them skips? or do I need to play them all
