that’s the thing, both of those had gotten to this point where even though the production and the pacing were kind of all over the place, they actually nailed the feel and the aesthetics to the point where they couldn’t let themselves down the way they would have a decade ago, so I think they have a lot of room to manoeuvre

The first thing I thought of seeing the FF16 trailer which cut from a one to one fight to a shot of two armies fighting and then a more average RPG fight was how good Suikoden 2 was at varying up battle rhythm as you went through the game.

I hope the physics engine is off enough that when the two character models’ hands intersect it causes them to vibrate uncontrollably like a nervous adolescent in real life

looks like the kickstarter was still getting updates until last year, but has gone dark for awhile. One of the backers mentioned “I backed this because my 10 year old daughter really liked dogs at the time. She’s 17 now and probably isn’t interested in this anymore.”

Yeah I backed it and they had a lot of life changes and rehauls but every time this idea comes up I think about how it existed in some form during Kickstarter Days.
