videogame things you think about a lot

No it literally is post game old man. You can’t even go there until you’ve beaten the game once and unlocked EX game. The ending you get for beating the secret final boss explains a ton of shit.

Add FF1-5 to that chart you cowards

At bare minimum you need Xenogears and Parasite Eve in there too, which means you also need Star ocean and Super Mario RPG, because despite being on snes they were basically contemporary with the development of these games and…

Yeah it makes a girls head spin

yeah this is a remarkably incoherent chart

For instance, the greatest staff overlap for Chrono Cross is with FF8

FF7R, FF15, and FF14 share a majority of the same staff

I really like the impulse behind this chart (one of my white whale abandoned sabbatical projects was an interface that would scrape mobygames or imdb to be able to make these on the fly based on your input) but they’ve obviously pared way too much down to make it look simpler than in reality

Well listen buddy, you try splitting a franchise into two halves arbitrarily so you can decide one is bad and one is good!!!

Like, I am an obsessive about reading credits and looking up what other projects staff-members worked on, and it takes .01 seconds to realize that this is some weird ‘Nomura is the devil’ bullshit

Not going to explain this but my feel is that it’s misogynistic for ffx and ffx-2 to be grouped together in the same box but the two versions of ffxiv each get their own box

Further evidence being the consolidation of all ffxiii stuff to one

providing my critical support to u_u here for this important and groundbreaking work. I hate final fantasy x and x-2 deserves its own place. You know a videogame thing I think about a lot? When you fight the fuckin sea monster on the deck of the ship in FFX and wakka’s blitzball just disappears into the distance and then comes back because he just threw a volleyball at an enormous sea monster. It’s the best part of the game.

learning roms/emulators existed as a schoolkid definitely felt like some cosmic lifehack. like with all the minor extravagant claims kids would make about games, someone telling me you can play ALL the games, for free? no way that could not be a ruse

Seeing how often a literal child announces their age on reddit does my head in as well.

I can never remember the name of the actor that played Snake in MGS5

Big Boss in MGS4 could’ve been voiced by Donald Sutherland if Keifer had voiced Snake in all the MGS games.

I still think it’s one of the biggest misses that Kojima didn’t (MGS5 spoilers I guess) cast Hayter as real Snake at the end of 5
