They re-released FF6 so many times you had to look up which platform actually had the good version.

I don't think ff9 needs a remake at all. But I fear with the way square enix has been milking the good games while they pump out shit that's where we're headed.

FF7 remake is good, but I still don't think we needed it. Meanwhile FF16 sucked ass.

Yeah FF16 was pretty bad. I liked it a LOT at first with the Game of Thrones type story/characters and how adult it was. However I also thought that the other eidolon-bearers were all going to eventually be playable party members (or main villains). Was hoping the Titan guy would be the Magus of the game and join late after defeating him. Was super looking forward to Cid/Ramuh being playable. Well, none of that shit happened, you're stuck playing as one guy for the entire game and it's a beat em up.

So Nintendo Direct they will announce and tease stuff, then Treehouse, they act like its a real youtube show and are real influences while they play and do hands on for the stuff announced during N-Direct.

Will pre-orders start tomorrow with the showcase? I should probably call a Gamestop and ask what's up. Was the first person in my town to get a PS5. Really lucked out on that one by happening to walk in the day pre-orders began (and getting the sole pre-order available, likely because the manager scalped the other 5) and then happening to be first in line on release morning. To the one store that got them on time. 2020, what a shitshow.

i dont think a console launch has EVER had preorders open immediately after official announce, the past few have usually announced the date preorders will open. The only two rumors I've seen are Best Buy Canada said they will have switch 2 preorders on April 2nd (they are frequently wrong) and some other retailers said preorders will open April 9th for all stores.

It's apparently directed by Miyazaki as well, so not B team?

Also understand why they didn't have the showcase yesterday. April fools joke vibes as I was watching the trailer "there is no way...."

will do kind sir! gamecube games are a must i used the expansion already. the controller for them is a must buy accessory. not jumping on the camera but the chat features i can use. switch a tight knit group of me and family relatives their wives, and my aunts bff we all played mario kart for a time. so we'd use this c button. they tried getting me in fortnite but i got wrecked and tbh building forts and castles never appealed to me. neither does pokemon which i get is super popular on nintendo consoles.
