That Light Novel Guy

@Stealth40k Goes full circle as LOTR The Third Age was very influeced by FFX in its battle system iirc

Yoshinori Kitase says the development of Final Fantasy X was influenced by the then upcoming Lord of the Rings movies: "It began with Mr. [Kazushige] Nojima wanting to explore a fantasy atmosphere that wasn’t rooted in medieval Europe, but instead drew from more Eastern influences, since both FFVII and FFVIII had maintained a sci-fi tone. During development, we initially took a more sci-fi approach at first, but when we thought about what would be trending in Hollywood around the time of FFX’s release, we learned that The Lord of the Rings was in production. So we thought fantasy was going to be the next big global trend, and that was one of the reasons we decided to go with fantasy rather than sci-fi." na.finalfantasy.com/news/2831

@techdroider I paid about £400 for mine.

Some things are Priceless. The PS5 is One of Them.

@HlNOMARUSUMO ...There was a petition?

Question for the physical game activists: how's it feel knowing 99.7% of PlayStation's monthly users didn't sign that petition that's been going around? Despite it being free to sign and only taking a couple minutes, not to mention its visibility was boosted by mainstream outlets like IGN posting about it. Yet the average PlayStation gamer went to play Black Ops instead. P.S. Before displaying impotent rage in my replies like usual, perhaps reach at least 1% first?

@Itscakejumper Im the Moon!

great to see how much effort Nintendo are putting into localisation

@Firebreather452 Waiting for Switch 2 ports to ultimately get GKC made me realise I didnt need to play most games after all. I have a huge physical collection I can go back to and if everything is digital ill only buy stuff like Zelda. It was very easy to bin off Sony after PS5 gen

To everyone not buying a PS6 because of the lack of physical media. What are you gonna do? PC is all digital. Xbox, if they’re actually stupid enough to make another console that nobody wants, will most likely be digital too. Switch 2 might still have physical release, if they stick with putting actual cartridges in the boxes. Right now, it’s about 80/20 split digital to physical. That number will most likely be 95/5 in a year and half. So, what are you gonna do? For the record, cancelling your PS+ subscription is not gonna do anything btw. The only way you can reverse this is by going out to a store and buy physical games.

@mrpyo1 "I do not intend to buy hardware at significant prices"

Sony was asked about the world situation today with crazy prices and one of the things they said was: ”we do not intend to sell hardware at significant losses.”
