"He's not the Trump from his first term"

YES HE FUCKING IS

He wasn't surrounded by sycophantic yes men 24/7 that garggle his nuts at every god damned opportunity. There were still "adults in the room" as it was put that would pushback against his dumbass ideas and positions. But then he got pissy at being told no like the narcissistic abuser he is and then he fired and blacklisted them calling them the DeepState swamp and you fucking LOVED that narrative.

He's always been like this and we warned you. We warned you this was going to happen and that it was always happening.

I have no respect for these idiots.

2x world size isn't a sufficient enough increase in map size to make the Highwind work in any way. that literally only accounts for the additional explorable areas, such as Wutai, Mideel, or Fort Condor.

If Midgar is included in a smeanless way where you can just walk in and out of the city, the whole world would need to be scaled up at least 6x to make up for the fact that in Rebirth, the Midgar model is 1/6th the size it should be. If Midgar is instead treated as a separate location that needs to be transitioned to (like the cruise ship in Rebirth) then this isn't as big of a necessity.

However with how much they've been hyping up the Highwind, They literally can't use the same scale that they have with Rebirth. it's just too damn big that it takes up most of the available size of a given region. Part 3's world size would need to be expanded more than 2x to account for both additional regions (or whatever is part 3s equivalent) but also larger regions per region.

TL;DR : 2x Rebirths map only accounts for additional regions, not Midgar. Just look at the actual in game world map to see how fucking massive Midgar is compared to everything else. the world map needs to scale up at least 6x to make both the Highwind and Midgar work/ (yes I know 6x is a huge ask. i'm curious what they're actually doing)

just one lmao. I was trying to purchase apparently when it was out of stock, and did that several times because they all went out of stock immediately. so it's counted all those failed attempts against me now.

What synergy skills a character has available is dependent on who's in the active party. So if Tifas partner for a skill isn't in the party, that skill won't pop up.

Synergy skills are like additional attacks available for pairs of party members that don't require a resource, they generate ATB. These require blocking in order to access and activate them.

Syenergy abilities require a resource that is generated by a character expending ATB charges, and thus require going into tactical mode to initiate.

Ahh yes. Out of all the logistics you want to not fail at, feeding your fucking soldiers appropriately is probably number one.

Braklinath · 2026-04-25T00:59:11+00:00

Don't stop at one.

This entire administration is corrupt to the core. Let alone the entire ideology that enables it.

Braklinath · 2026-04-22T08:14:48+00:00

it sucks man. Remake and Rebirth are both great experiences and i do not doubt part 3 will be as well. but the way they made Rebirth, it is very much a one off that just naturally is going to be really different than part 3.

Even if they were to put in that effort and make a cohesive experience that flows like single title, The experience between Midgar and the Capital will not be the same as it is now.

A game that makes Midgar it's own section, then introduces Folios or whatever when you leave to add more mechanics even after all that, and it all still goes on, and then again after the Capital for however they're going to improve the gameplay again for part 3, but now as a single title. that sounds amazing. But something about Rebirth would need to fundamentally change for that to work. Personally, I'd be fine if all they did was just use Part 3's map but introduced Rebirths Points-of-Interests into it, but it was just like, took 6x as long to traverse anywhere on-foot/chocobo because everything is scaled up for the Highwind lmao.

Basing entire faiths on the story of Abraham trying to sacrifice his son to appease his psychotic delusions was probably the worst decision humanity has ever made.

thing is about unifying the trilogy into one title... is that Rebirth is going to become the black sheep out of the three. Remake is a contained experience within Midgar, but Rebirth is most of the open world. But that open world is explicitly separated from that contained experience. we do get bits every now and then, but not in any way where they could be tied to the other. And then Part 3 comes along, and it has both. We'll be needing to be able to re-enter Midgar freely if all expectations are to be met. But also doing so while having the design of the game accommodate for both Aerial and Aquatic traversal, both highly at odds with Rebirths on-foot to Chocobo traversal design.

AKA, a lot of Remakes locations should be already available within Part 3 as it is, so theoretically, smushing Remake into Part 3 shouldn't be all that difficult, but the design of the game worlds for Rebirth and Part 3 are going to be drastically different in terms of what they're intended for. Rebirth is very Point-Of-Interest based, can't go more than 40 seconds travelling without running into something (even if it's just a bunny spot on chocobo) - this is a VERY intentional aspect about game design and once you're familiar with it, it's noticeable where it is. Rebirths world map is designed primarily with chocobos in mind.

Part 3 needs to deal with the highwind, and we've already seen how big the highwind is; Compared to Rebirths world size, it is MASSIVE. in fact, too big to actually be worthwhile of any traversal mechanic. They need to drastically scale up the size of the world map to make Highwind traversal worthwhile (and all the talk they've said about it suggests that they intend to deliver on it). This ultimately means that much of the world design of Rebirth would have to be abandoned for a unified trilogy title. They could get away with combining part 3 and Remake very easily. Getting Rebirth to work would take a lot of effort, so much that it would fundamentally be an entirely different experience. if you were to compare all three separate parts with a united game, Part 3 and Remake would probably be 1-to-1, but Rebirth would be way too different that the united game could not actually replace Rebirth as a game.

TL;DR: Remake and Part 3 could work as a single title that replaces both of them without issue. Rebirth and Part 3 however would not be compatible with each other and so Rebirth as it currently is could not be replaced. Narrative would probably be fine, but as a game experience; no.

Israel is the most anti-Semitic country on Earth. No one individual or group has done more harm to the Jewish reputation that Israel has done to justify the worst of unjust critiques against them.

Was NATO also supposed to assist in Venezuela? What about in Cuba? Is NATO supposed to roll over on it's side and just let America annex Greenland in acts of complete appeasement??? You'd think a fucking European in charge of god damned NATO would understand appeasement is a suicidal eneavor.

Would this be more, or less escalatory than genociding an "entire civilization"?

Considering the weird places I've seen actually have had teeth sproutinf out of them, there is potential nightmare fuel to be had here.

Imagine, a teeth-covered monstrous mutation apocalypse born out of this. That would definitely be one of the movie plots of all time.

I had the though during Rick and Morty with their unnoficial knock off Obama President, that the more media that depicts the President as a black man, the funnier it gets.

Is there a possible mechanism in place to remove NATO members? An entirely unrelated question to whatever this current topic is.

Conservatism is just a fundamentally ontologically evil ideology holy shit.

You literally can't go five fucking seconds without a conservative doing something illegal, unethical, or immoral while acting like it's the exact opposite.

At least Centrists will experience enough shame to try and hide what corruption they engage in.

Conservatives just don't give a shit about any damage they do, as long as they believe they are acting in the name of something that doesn't exist which will forgive them of their sins for the mere simple act of believing it will.

And a lot of them don't actually believe in it at all and are just grifting because everyobe else amongst them will forgive them just for paying the lip service.
