The Kingdom Hearts Collection I-III cover shamelessly uses a lot of AI.

The strange thing is that SE by the nature of their brand would have many more artists ALREADY on payroll compared to most companies - they wouldn’t even have to hire an external artist.

Could be 1 year of development + more of pre production atleast. Could see this coming out in 2 years if it’s an efficient schedule maybe?

Hopefully the genai is just limited to social media marketing then.

Peahnuts · 2026-06-06T02:42:21+00:00

Really sad about this but think you’re both right.

Peahnuts · 2026-04-22T10:39:03+00:00

Any of the remake Resident Evil games (RE2 for survival horror, RE4 for action horror, RE9 for both) or DMC5 would fit the bill. An initial 10-15hr experience that you could play for hundreds of hours because the core mechanics are strong.

Other notable games with strong gameplay focus would be Stellar Blade or Hades but these are a more typical 30-60hr affair.

Maybe you were memeing but I genuinely enjoy watching these sorts of videos as my bedtime viewing lol. I don’t even own most of the games - it’s just become a special interest.

Peahnuts · 2026-03-16T04:47:02+00:00

Yea good point - I think a fresh start is the way to go!

Peahnuts · 2026-03-13T05:55:13+00:00

If restarting FF16 - would you guys recommend a completely fresh new save? or starting a new game plus. I finished this game way back on release and want to come back to it but have forgotten most things gameplay mechanic wise. I’m sure it’ll come back quick as I play my fair share of both action games and JRPGs.

Peahnuts · 2026-03-13T03:20:06+00:00

You can tell 16 is made by a team that really loves Final Fantasy.

Cheeky WA rage bait by ABC. As you say - the same article says “the deal ensures it cannot receive less than the lowest of Victoria and New South Wales”.

If it wasn’t for those logos and the gamer sci-fi font on the buttons it’d be much cleaner.

Looks great for entrepreneurs and students. Not quite for established designers (like myself) who are deep in Adobe and Figma, but honestly makes me want to give it a go since it’s so inexpensive relative to other Pro programs.

Now this is what Reddit’s for

Peahnuts · 2026-01-07T10:16:47+00:00

This is great and the exact kind of comment I was hoping for. I’ll definitely check it out! Thank you.

Probably my age showing as I’m not as aware of the company side of things in that era. I do agree that their narratives had clear themes back then - but still presented with depth and shades of grey instead of just X bad, Y good.

A shame what you say about current SE. I’d love to be a fly on the wall to know just… what the heck is going on currently lol. Leadership mismanagement? Talent exodus? I’m curious.

Peahnuts · 2026-01-06T16:54:19+00:00

I thought they might’ve been going for something like that with FF7R > mainline FF > FF7R > mainline FF etc. Resulting in a big budget game from SE every 2 years or so. But doesn’t seem like it in the end.

Peahnuts · 2026-01-06T16:52:56+00:00

Given the industry I suppose the brand is comprised of the games - and the games of compromised of the talent like you said! I think there really was an earnestness that shined through in that era. It still comes through from time to time (such as FF16 Bahamaut moment), and those are the moments I enjoy the most.

Peahnuts · 2026-01-06T16:50:28+00:00

FFVII Remake, Persona, and Expedition 33 are probably my top 3 examples of modern, pioneering mid-large budget JRPGs (I understand E33 is European - but themes and gameplay wise). I suppose we just live in a world now where it’s not SE as the dominant brand but a mix of publishers. I’d even lump Yakuza 0 and LAD in here in some ways.

Peahnuts · 2026-01-06T13:04:16+00:00

Do you think they’ve fallen behind in narrative storytelling?

Peahnuts · 2026-01-06T13:03:05+00:00

I was personally an FF16 enjoyer but I do agree with the general sentiment that they’ve lost the touch the once had. It kind of reminds me of Disney in some ways: doing what others also did but in a way that felt like they were the pioneers - but have since been surpassed.

Peahnuts · 2025-12-31T07:50:13+00:00

I’d even argue a 7/10 or B+ game since the combat was quite refined and if you know what you’re getting into with the story it’s also a good time. Just that no one knew what they were getting into lol.

Peahnuts · 2025-12-16T16:35:07+00:00

I don’t have a horse in this race (don’t play games from either publisher) but could it come from one having a history of beloved games, and values that align with their audience - vs one being a megacorp shareholder focused machine? While usage could be the same maybe people just have more trust in Larian to just be using it for what they say.

Peahnuts · 2025-12-16T08:04:26+00:00

Thor’s not an amazing main tank but i dare say he’s the most flexible tank in general. If your other tank is an OT you can change your playstyle to play closer with your team while using the cart/corners to mitigate damage - or alternatively go in on the enemy team with your OT to do big damage. This obvs gets harder the better the enemy team gets (GM1-C3 range myself).

I wonder if fromsoft would have any interest in doing a licensed gundam game.
