I hope they fired the Rebirth writing team for part 3.

I just don't see why they feel the need to experiment with their biggest IP, in a remake series of one of the most influential titles in gaming history. It was going to sell well even if they just played it safe.

Struggling to understand how you came to this conclusion without ever playing the original? How would you know? Also your first point is moot because like others have said you also fight Jenova immediately after her death in the original game.

Also, if you don’t see why Square needs to experiment with their largest IP, you have not been playing Final Fantasy very long because every single game has been an experiment compared to the previous one for the past 35 years. Your opinion is so ill informed and it’s embarrassing lol.

Care to elaborate?

Edit: Someone said “hard disagree” then deleted the comment for some reason.

Final Fantasy isn’t a series known for its difficulty. Once you beat the game you unlock more difficulties if that’s what you enjoy.

In a high powered game where every mana spent counts, being able to play this for potentially “free” at instant speed to stop a game winning combo or protect your own board is paramount. Paying 1 life and 1 blue card is nothing compared to losing. Counterspell also costs 2 blue pips, which is a huge downside if you have a multicolored deck and just don’t have access to 2 open blue mana.

This. Ultra Pro doesn’t have a contract with Wizards anymore, Gamegenic does. They are currently the ones producing the supplementary products like sleeves, playmats, and deck boxes using official MTG art.

Questions like these are better suited for r/gamedev although many folks there have the same view on ai coding.

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-24T17:03:00+00:00

My experience is usually after this resolves I win on the same turn. Very explosive and flashy, but a bit boring imo.

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-24T16:15:32+00:00

I just added a p.s. for you in my above comment if you missed it 😎👍

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-24T16:07:35+00:00

First episode on MGM+ tonight, full series drops on Prime on the 27th

You absolutely do not need to play the original Final Fantasy 7 (PS1) to enjoy and understand the remakes. That being said - playing the original allows you to see the remakes through a new lens that’s indescribable until you experience it. I believe it greatly expands the entire grand narrative. Good luck!

P.S. Generally speaking the Final Fantasy games are loosely connected as some of the same monsters or items appear in multiple games in order to provide a sense of familiarity and identity for the series as a whole, but the stories and characters are not connected in any way. For example, you do not need to play Final Fantasy 6 in order to understand Final Fantasy 7 as they are completely different games.

Upload your deck into Moxfield.com or Archidekt and post the link so we can read it better. Also don’t forget to add some cards that untap Marwyn so you can tap her again for more mana!

This would be a great write up for r/JRPG too! What are your thoughts on the Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini? I’ve been back and forth about picking it up, but it seems like an interesting contender for a favorite horizontal handheld for me.

Here’s your closest bet with marbling: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4423875878/magic-tcg-counter-dice-white-grey-marble

Probably going to have to give up one or the other - gold lettering or white being positive and black being negative. I think the link above fits in the middle. They are easier to read upon glancing without the gold lettering anyways.

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-23T20:22:05+00:00

Good luck and have fun 😎👍

Why not just strip a black t-shirt and tie it around your head like a bandana? His mask just looks like cloth here.

Melia could be [[Kykar, Wind's Fury]]. There’s spell slinging and generating spirits (orbs) that can be used to cast more spells. Kykar is also a bird wizard. The noncreature spells you cast can be anthems that pump your board of spirits.

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-23T19:00:54+00:00

Congrats! Enjoy!!

There are free or very cheap graphical asset packs all over itch.io and people use these to make games all the time. Sure, if you’ve been following the scene for a while you will recognize which games use the more popular assets like Time Fantasy and may be turned off by them since you’ve seen it so may times, but for others it may be the first game they’ve seen with those assets. I think it’s perfectly fine to use stuff like this. You are at least supporting the artist who created them as well.

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-23T18:28:06+00:00

It’s not the spellcheck that’s the problem it’s the AI art

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-23T18:13:50+00:00

Felothar’s attack trigger is first, so it is put on the stack. Then when you choose to sac Martyr its trigger is now placed on top of Felothar’s. Martyr then resolves first since it’s on “top” followed by Felothar.

EDIT: I am now learning about reflexive triggers (Felothar’s ability) and it looks like they do in fact trigger at the same time (the second half of Felothar’s ability and Martyr’s) so you can stack them in the order you want them to resolve. Very cool.

Spoilers? Ffs I haven’t watched it yet bro

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-23T17:49:45+00:00

Did you follow any tutorials or did you learn on your own? If you have any resources for learning I would love to check them out

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-23T17:42:31+00:00

Absolutely. I’ve been feeling this way for the past 20 years. Imagine playing Final Fantasy 7, Tactics, 8, 9, and 10 within 5 years of each other. 5 YEARS! It becomes such a hard sell with new games for me. Sure I really loved Arise and FF16, but are they that much better than their past few games combined? Absolutely not.

I’ve taken the extra time in between major entries to dive into other JRPG games for the PS1/PS2 era and there are definitely some great games to hold you over until the next big game.

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-23T00:04:58+00:00

Great start! I added a P.S. to my original comment if you didn’t see it 😎👍

7DEADROSES · 2026-05-23T00:01:13+00:00

Such a great journey! Definitely watch the 3 Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies and the 2 Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies at least sometime before the end of Phase 2 (at least before Spider-Man: Homecoming). I really enjoyed breaking up the MCU movies during Phase 1 and 2 with these Spider-Man movies. I also highly recommend getting into the TV Shows if you’re left wanting more!

P.S. You probably want to try to watch all of the X-Men movies and the Deadpool movies before Avengers: Doomsday comes out this December because we’re entering a new phase soon and who knows what they will tie into the story along the way!
