We’ve updated and clarified each of our rules that we have laid out. This covers a number of points made within this thread, as well as issues and concerns we’ve faced before. There are also some other pre-emptive rules to prevent spam and low-effort posts.

The new full set of rules can be found here: https://lemmy.world/post/21386826 or can be found at any time in the sidebar.

As such, we’re also implementing a ban on most AI covered in Rule 3. iii.

iii. Fan created content is allowed as long as it falls inline with all other rules, with the exception of AI-generated content, which is not allowed outside of mods (e.g. Moguri Mod).

We won’t be retroactively be removing AI posts, or banning those users. However it will be enforced from today (29th October).

This thread will not be closed, and anyone wishing to continue discussing it are more than welcome.

The setup looks great, good job!

Nobuo Uematsu has issued a clarification. He’s Not retiring completely. See here: https://lemmy.world/post/20905641

The Buster Sword was, but no characters or any other references.

It’s one possibility. I’m not sure we’ll know for a while but it’s certainly interesting that ASOBI approached them to bring Final Fantasy in.

There’s no evidence for that, only speculation. It could be a number of other things, worse or otherwise.

Never!

Court documents reveal that Gametech Holdings had pinched the trademark from Nguyen after the original developer missed refiling for it. The Flappy Bird Foundation, spearheaded by game designer Michael Roberts, then purchased it from Gametech.

I didn’t know about the trademark take over. But, thats a great start to the reputation of this thing. Unfortunately most people won’t even realise what is going on here, so what are the chances some will mistake this as Nguyen’s doing?

The who plan and background for this game sounds abhorrent.

Anecdotal but of all my IRL friends and colleagues, I’m the only person who has the game right now. Despite how much I tell them how good it is, and how much fun I’m having, a few don’t want to pay full price due to how short they’ve read the game is.

Is it much of a surprise when it comes to MiHoYo? Their entire model is based around this kind of thing.

There’s no doubt about this. My favourites in the franchise usually differ from other people and fans that I know. It really does make it a pleasure being a fan of Final Fantasy as it holds such a diverse fandom that conversations often hold interesting takes, views and more.

I’d recognise Limsa Lominsa anywhere. I’ve been playing since 1.0, with some breaks here and there. FFXIV is one of my favourite games ever, for story and gameplay.

I hope you enjoy it and have a great experience. Feel free to join us at !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world as well.

I never knew about PS2 BBN! I still have my Fat PS2 but doubt I’d have the time to get it working so it was nice to get a look at this. And that was a great video, I love her energy.

I wish we could go back to this. It would certainly increase the longevity of some games.

How are the controls for this? I found FFXIV controls are great, not perfect but great, and was wondering how they compare. Getting a solid control scheme for an MMO isn’t easy.

Honestly, they would be stupid not to put it in the collection.

I know Mikami is in a good position to understand these decisions better than us, but this still feels like a cop-out answer. I suspect there is far more to it than a terrible comparison to Monster Hunter.

at the very least remakes should include a copy of the original game playable on the same device, either as a port or via emulation.

I’d love to see developers and publishers start to do this. Though I am interested in Tomb Raider and how they handle the graphic toggling, which seems like a half-way point to what you’re describing.
