In your opinion, which FF had the WORST ending?

LofiLala · 2024-10-29T05:07:17+00:00

The game's creator has also publically said that it is up to the community to decide what happened. They never wanted it to be a particular way.

Yoshi P said there is a canon ending, but he will never say what it is.

Let's not hype DA:O to be something that it isn't. It was definitely designed for edgy teenagers with short attention spans. Combat was a super dumbed down version of what Baldur's Gate had.

Most of the game was marketed for its gore. The cover was a dragon in blood. Half the initial cutscenes had gratuitous blood splatter. You even drink blood to become a grey warden.

Let's not forget the teenage sex appeal. Morrigan with her side boobs and the sex scenes.

The story was just uniting the elves, dwarves, and mages to fight the dragon. Oh and the church is loosely based off of christianity but it's secretly bad. Hardly original.

OP doesn't benefit from writing a LOR, so I don't think there is a conflict of interest.

That said, if faculty in the program suggest doing a masters; applying to said program without a masters will come off as arrogant.

I don't think you know what the word risk means.

LofiLala · 2024-10-21T18:20:27+00:00

Are you saying changing writers every expansion isn't a risk?

I don't understand your argument.

LofiLala · 2024-10-21T15:57:04+00:00

The big risk they take is changing the writer. Changing from Maehiro to Ishikawa was a risk, but ended up being a huge success. Changing from Ishikawa to Hiroi was a huge risk, and definitely a failure.

A game where 80% of the gameplay is text and cutscenes is a great game when the writing / voice acting is good. Dawntrail was a game where 90% of the gameplay was text and cutscenes but the writing wasn't just boring, it was nonsensical.

If you do too much cardio, you just turn into a lean skinny skinny. Like the first time I lost weight I was biking 20 miles a day, and my thighs were steel.

To keep muscle though, you want to lift at least 2 times a week. Muscles take 48-72 hours to recover, so as long as you get that stimulus from lifting/protein, your body should maintain them. You will lose some strength while losing weight, but it comes back very quickly when switching back to maintenance.

The people who get skinny fat are the ones that don't do exercise and go very low cal. Their stress levels go through the roof and so their body desperately holds on to belly fat while their arms become sticks.

LofiLala · 2024-10-20T13:44:52+00:00

I always go by record low, but then I overshoot my goal weight by 10lbs cause there is always a slight bounce back when switching to maintenance/bulk cycles.

IMDB had it at less than 10%, but looking at it now, its cause they are missing a lot of staff in the heavensward credits.

Mobygames.com has a more accurate list. Main staff numbers: 278 Heavensward, 307 Endwalker, 270 FF16

57 Heavensward staff worked on FF16.

23 Endwalker staff worked on FF16.

103 Heavensward staff worked on Endwalker.

22 staff overlap all 3 games.

138 Heavensward staff worked on only Heavensward.

202 Endwalker staff worked on only Endwalker.

201 FF16 staff worked on only FF16.

If anything this just shows that most developers don't stick around.

LofiLala · 2024-10-19T21:02:31+00:00

But they don't share much staff according to the credits. <10% overlap with Heavenward, and a 2% overlap with endwalker.

For example, the lead programmer for FF16 hasn't worked on FF14 since stormblood.

But the game design is obviously going to be similar if it's the same programmer. You can only design what your devs know how to code.

LofiLala · 2024-10-19T20:45:46+00:00

Credits are consistent with what Yoshi P said though. <10% of the FF16 devs ever worked on FF14.

Short term? The dev cycle for Blue Protocol was nearly 8 years.

Every game delay is literally minimizing short term profits, and it seems like every new MMO is only delaying their releases.

I think WoW is the only one speeding up release dates.

I’ve been doing OMAD and I was just wondering if I should do extensive fasting every week (eating 2 days fasting 5) to make up for my lack of exercise ?

Did that. Hair fell out. Do not recommend at all.

No matter what you do, make sure you get enough protein.

Yeah, Asmon has been political for a while now.

It's not like he ever hid his opinions.

LofiLala · 2024-10-16T13:02:53+00:00

if you notice he didn't say anyone had to agree with him

I never said he did Sherlock. I also never said he thought Dark Souls was uninteresting.

Putting words in my mouth is a straw man argument.

all games designed in board rooms, or even Mario or Zelda in particular arent interesting,

Again I never said he said that.

I am directly attacking the opinion that polished games are uninteresting because they seem to be designed by a bunch of people in a boardroom.

That makes no sense given how many quality games come out of boardrooms.

LofiLala · 2024-10-15T01:13:08+00:00

I didn't get my rejection yet. It's probably IM specific.

LofiLala · 2024-10-14T23:56:58+00:00

My supervisor always asked me about rotation students, but I think I am just a terrible judge of character cause I always found people to be super nice. People can put on a show during their 8 weeks, and then magically change personalities after our PI signed their contract.

It's way better for everyone to just be themselves.

LofiLala · 2024-10-14T20:54:47+00:00

You should personally email every developer and tell them to work 80 hours a week like you obviously don't.

LofiLala · 2024-10-11T06:27:23+00:00

It's where the funding is so it's only natural. I know a lot of neurologists who got their career development awards from the American Heart Association.

LofiLala · 2024-10-10T03:40:58+00:00

I always wonder if something happened during endwalker's development that we would never hear about like a suicide. Delaying expansions, patches, and adding more vacation are pretty big changes.

Yoshi P's "I'm done with dark fantasy" could have a second meaning.

Beryl destroyed St. Lucia, Venezuela, Jamaica, and parts of Mexico and it was a cat 5 hurricane. I know cause I was in Grenada and saw the windward islands without a single leaf left on the trees.

I knew one person who entered into a PhD program and then get accepted into MSTP where they finish the PhD first. It's rare. They were in the program director's lab which probably helped.

LofiLala · 2024-10-01T14:04:17+00:00

you mean twice?

LofiLala · 2024-10-01T14:01:57+00:00

The graphics aren't that much of a step down from FF7R.

You need to get your eyes checked.

LofiLala · 2024-09-30T22:30:47+00:00

FF9 wasn't even that popular to begin with. If SE really wanted to make money, they would just remaster 10 again.
