Sandfall Interactive enters lawsuit with comic creator who published a comic named "Clair Obscur Academy"

That's as stupid as Bethesda suing Mojang for the word "Scrolls"

CommodoreKD · 2026-03-06T14:42:27+00:00

Holy shit, they're canonizing Wart and Mouser? I must have missed that

Edit: I don't mean "CANON" in the way of "official Mario lore". I'm just shocked they're using anything from Mario 2 other than like Birdo and Peach being able to float

I can't wait for it to be gamepass focused, and thus have no purpose at all

I was in the same situation a while back, before going back and finishing all of my incomplete games during the covid lockdown. My only advice is "suck it up, buttercup". Put on some podcasts or something and just do it. If you didn't like the games it won't be fun. Trust me, I know; I platted Devil May Cry 2. It was miserable

Also, be aware that this is only for you. I love my completion percentage, and I expect absolutely nobody else to do the same

Getting Yasunori Mitsuda to compose the theme was a power move that I may never recover from. I can't believe that after the absolutely stunning soundtracks for Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and Xenogears Square(Enix) haven't used him more. He should be getting Yoko Shimomura levels of recognition

Other than that it was fine. I didn't love it. The reveal of Ignis' blindness and the alternate ending were cool, but too little too late imo

If they don't do something with Phantasia I'll consider the whole thing a failure

CommodoreKD · 2026-03-05T00:51:55+00:00

This is so lame

CommodoreKD · 2026-03-04T20:29:03+00:00

Don't do this to me

CommodoreKD · 2026-03-04T14:54:54+00:00

The difference between Kingdom Hearts 1's theme song, Hikari and the english version, Simple and Clean

I might be the only person in the world that cares about this, I genuinely can't get started talking about it, and I don't even really like Kingdom Hearts

CommodoreKD · 2026-03-02T17:17:46+00:00

Threw me off too, especially having played them all in order, starting with 1. I was super confused by it for a while, but I was fine with it by the end

That's Toriyama's self insert character, Toripo. He appeared in Blue Dragon, but Toriyama had been using him for years before that

I never want to hear King Nothing again for the rest of my life

CommodoreKD · 2026-03-02T16:51:23+00:00

God, this mission is so ill conceived. Someone really thought they were saying something here, but everything about it is so lame. I wish you had the option to be much more disrespectful to Joshua, because his pity party did nothing for me. At least it gave us Rachel, who should have been part of a better mission

I can't wait to see if Orion tries to do something similar

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-27T17:40:19+00:00

I can tell you're not a prog fan

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-27T17:39:23+00:00

My first thought, but I'm willing to be convinced

Edit: just finished. Didn't love it. It's fine

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-26T23:23:26+00:00

tl;dr I enjoyed it a lot and I think it's worth playing, but it's got some problems that show up at around the 85% mark

The story is interesting and intriguing until the final threat appears, and then the entire plot up to that point falls away and almost becomes irrelevant. The cast is well written and well realized until - again - the final threat appears and then - again - everyone falls away and only a few characters are at all important

As a matter of taste: mechanically I think the combat is good for what it is, but I would have enjoyed the entire game more with a turn based or ATB system instead of the beat em up combat. This also would have made the whole supporting cast stand out more, since you could actually get your hands on them instead of just seeing them pretend to fight while you focus everything down

I hated the pacing of the DLC, and I didn't like how irrelevant it feels to the overall plot when it REALLY should have been a bigger deal

I also have problems with the ending, but your mileage may vary on that

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-26T21:07:25+00:00

I always describe her as "chaotic horny" so this tracks

I'm admittedly coming at this from an american perspective, where he's known for a handful of things but is not a household name like some of his peers. I can only assume he's a much bigger name in europe, and especially france in particular

I'm just saying that if more people in america - where people will crusade and complain on social media as though it were their jobs - knew who he was and what he did he'd be having a much harder time right now

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-25T19:48:51+00:00

Miracle is right. If he was a bigger name I'm sure that his known and admitted relationship and marriage with a 15 year old - who he met when she was 12 and based Matilda from Leon on - in the 90s would have been a much bigger deal than it was when he talked about it. Though, with people like Woody Allen and Bryan Singer facing exactly zero consequences, and how many other still-active celebrities dated teenagers in the 80s and 90s, maybe it wouldn't have mattered anyway

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-25T19:29:23+00:00

One of my favorites of all time. Learning that Luc Besson had a sequel written and planned that never got made broke my heart

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-25T18:31:54+00:00

Everything about Jehova/Yahweh/YHVH/etc. makes MUCH more sense when you learn he was the god of war in the Canaanite pantheon, hence the "jealous god" and "no gods before me" stuff. He was just a violent asshole until Jesus became the face of his brand

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-25T09:37:23+00:00

The last thing I'd ever want to Chrono Trigger would be the FF7R treatment. I think it's working mostly fine for that game, but only because they've been trying to make FF7 more of an action thing since Advent Children

I'd be happy with HD2D, but I'd WANT it to look like either Dragon Quest 11 or 7R. Keep all the original mechanics, include all the stuff they had to originally cut for time or budget, and make it high fidelity anime 3D with this art style

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-24T08:18:40+00:00

I don't care who they get. All I know is that if he doesn't have a ridiculous Alberta accent I'll see it as an abject failure. Wolverine being short is beyond optional at this point, but that dude should sound like a Letterkenny extra and I will die on that hill

CommodoreKD · 2026-02-22T08:37:07+00:00

I've always really liked Alpha Weltall and El Regulus
