i am trying to figure out if this had some clever intention behind it related to the ouroboros or if you’re really just an insufferable human being – can you confirm, please?

this feels a little weird, considering this is one of the main reasons people dislike FFXVI; “i’ll fix the reason you don’t want to play the game if you just buy the game!” seems like he knows what he’s doing and is being a little sneaky.

agreed, it was a clever bait-and-switch-with-an-out

“no, remake doesn’t stand for REMAKE … it stands for RE-MAKE the story, completely, like … history is being REMADE! it’s time travel baby!”

they knew what they were doing; literally EVERYONE was expecting a close remake of the original game for modern consoles, instead we got a FINE and VERY COOL SEQUEL, but nothing close to the REMAKE they led people to believe.

FFX-2 was Square as well. It was developed by a Square team and released by Square in Japan, not SquareEnix. In fact, it was the last Square Final Fantasy game to be released. This is all easily verifiable on Wikipedia, as well.

The truth is that this was the direction they wanted to take the X universe, even had the same Director and everything.

best episode in the last 3 seasons of the show and much better than Star Beast; still trying to figure out what Tennant is always reaching out for in these promo images, though: validation? acceptance? lost youth?
