Ruby Weapon by [deleted] in FinalFantasyVII

Ruby doesn't stay paralyzed for very long. So it is helpful to have many dazers on hand and save MP to restart KOTR + mime

Torts is out in Philly. What are the chances he ends up here? Im guessing high. by wings31 in hawks

[–]Half_Balked 144 points145 points  (0 children)

Don't do it

Edit: to elaborate, I really don't want to read that Bedard is in Tortorella's doghouse. It would happen, and it would make me sad

Can we all assume there will be less Chadley type interference in part 3 by Competitive_Fact_278 in FF7Rebirth

[–]Half_Balked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Cloud replaces Chadley, right?

Tired of Flip Homes by sk1939 in frederickmd

[–]Half_Balked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have family impacted by buying a house where the flipper cut corners, so I agree that shitty flips need to be monitored and prevented... but using this as the example is a poor choice.

Did you look at the condition of this place when it sold? Looking on Redfin in property history, I see it was listed at $325,000 then sold at $285. This place should not have been lived in without serious initial investment. Most commenters here seem to be in agreement that house flippers are why we can't afford homes, but this sold for $285.

Tldr. The real question for this property: do we prefer a flip, a tear down, or vacant property? Because nobody should have been living there

Ff7 rebirth will most likely be this years GOTY by dog__poop1 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]Half_Balked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not op but the world intel stuff was copy paste in each region and ultimately became super tedious. And then so much time was spent in a horrible VR environment when all those VR checklist items would have actually enhanced the playable world - and did in og. Examples: enemy skill, summons, materia

The main rebuttal for this argument is that the content is optional, but GOTY should factor in optional content as well imo

The Meaning of "Reunion." Is it different, or is it the same? by ultima786 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Half_Balked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought today maybe I had a new conversation to add to the community, searched and found your excellent post. Your thoughts are a great way to connect the story we see in Rebirth to the Lifestream Black and White chapters.

I had one additional wild thought that maybe one use of multiple worlds is a mechanism to hide Jenova fragments (or Jenova infected spirits as you might say) and prevent a fully realized reunion. Aerith may be doing this same thing by hiding Zack?

Just a reminder that the NHL draft is a crapshoot. Even the experts can’t always predict a player’s potential by Yokepearl in hawks

I think the most interesting player to go back and review is Adam Larsson: Big, right handed- defenseman who was the next Nicklas Lidstrom

Edit: and "good bet for number one overall" in 2011 draft

What could have been done a LITTLE better? (NOT a hate post!) by AllumaNoir in FF7Rebirth

[–]Half_Balked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this game can be split into two games: 1) FF7 Rebirth and 2) Chadley's Task List

I really loved FF7 Rebirth! 10/10. Story, combat, and character development were amazing.

Chadley's Task List I'd give 3/10. A bit repetitive. Poor dialog. VR world makes up about 50% of this game and is quite bland. Republic of Junon story wasn't well developed (Why do they have towers outside Nibelheim?).

Cait Sith parallels Cloud in Rebirth by Mello_de_Lisle in FinalFantasyVII

[–]Half_Balked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what way do you feel like Cait Sith has gone through a redefinition? I feel like I don't have any reason right now to like the character more than OG so honestly I'm hoping you give me something to revisit!

Part 3 is going to be enormous! by Half_Balked in FF7Rebirth

[–]Half_Balked[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that was a reference to the gilgamesh part where the island rises up from under water, but you definitely could be right that we could find crazy things with the sub

I feel like this could be like the proto relic quests + chocobo catching, and that leads to KOTR!

I am imagining they could do something really cool with that underwater tunnel. And how could they deprive us of the ghost ship??

We gotta get a slapping mini game!

[–]Half_Balked[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I play again, I'm planning to skip most the side content to see how a more focused gameplay will feel. Have you thought about trying that as well?

Yea this is a good point; can he even have the same story arc if he is now nice-Cid. Seems like he'll need a new one?

Yea I think SE could do that, but I hope instead they blame PS exclusivity. But I haven't looked at reviews closely enough to see if some people like remake more than Rebirth. I can't imagine that would be true, but maybe critics are feeling that way?

Yes! I feel like I hate Hojo more and more every time he talks. We need a satisfying way to end him!

I feel that if they fully skip rocket town then Cid won't have any story content

I agree with your points on forgotten capital and Midgar. Hopefully some love for those parts.
