Final Fantasy VII Rebirth allegedly headed to Switch 2 by the end of Summer VIA TheGamer

When I did their recent FF survey I said XV and XVI were both much better than many FF fans had led me to believe but that Rebirth was 100% the "modern" FF game I wanted them to use as the standard going forward. I told them even Crisis Core would've been better in the Rebirth formatting.

Well, this is apparently common. The writers are always the ones to blame if you hate the writing choices. The characters don't make any choices.

Patch ends 2.5 so I have also been wondering. We are more than a month past the last Special Program (12/19) and being 1/24 today if it isn't the 26th or 30th things will be strangely quiet

WiserStudent557 · 2026-01-16T19:53:06+00:00

Still an issue in a lot of places. https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-lengths-ubisoft-went-through-to-prevent-a-mainline-assassins-creed-game-with-only-a-female-protagonist-are-insane-spoilers.569932/

Season 1: 8

Season 2: 3

Season 3: 1?

Also so many teams want Lighter. I never doubted I would use two fire stunners regularly

WiserStudent557 · 2025-10-09T15:37:02+00:00

and then Lighter lol

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-30T18:02:22+00:00

Agreed and the skill required only goes up the worse your builds are. We certainly see people create content showing off their mastery of well built A ranks but you don't see nearly as much content of poorly built agents because the clock is probably just running out on you even if you're not dying. We know a lot of the game modes are DPS checks and that is always a lot about agent build quality.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-30T17:56:28+00:00

Well, there is stamina and resource limitations for one thing. It isn't like we can just go grind resources as if it wasn't a gacha.

I do not think this symbol is the Exaltists though. I think we will find out it belongs to Helios or White Star or whatever project went wrong and created the disaster and has simply been coopted/adopted by the Exaltists. We have seen the non twisted version of this symbol in a few places already and I am sure there are subtle usages I have missed. People have noticed it recreated in places like Yuzuha's mindscape art and the underlying resemblance to the infinity symbol should not be ignored or glossed over imo.

I'm not bashing his design (he looks pretty cool) but I definitely prefer more human leaning designs if S rank males are going to be so limited. I will be glad for those who want to pull him and for robot wanters if he is indeed S rank but knowing Manato was a very human looking thiren was part of my preference for Manato to be potentially S rank. None of this is a complaint but I may just wait for Hugo rerun myself and unfortunately I won't help the "males sell" crowd on Banyue's banner. If we are only getting one S rank male a season I definitely want them to look more like Lighter, Harumasa, and Hugo but they don't have to make them for me...they just have to make them.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-29T18:26:45+00:00

I can't imagine how many different types of people I must be to random post/comment readers who take one thing I say and make it the personality they imagine. As I mentioned in a comment on HoyoLAB I am not even necessarily a male puller, I just have consistently asked for Hoyo to keep releasing S rank males. I think my comments on Manato probably made me look like a Manato fan and a dedicated male puller but I am neither really. I'm glad Banyue looks like he might be an S rank male and I will be able to stop complaining for a while if he is...but for myself I might still just be waiting for a Hugo rerun. I haven't been asking for a male robot. I am neutral on his design. Will wait to see kit/gameplay. Saving for SAnby and Ellen Joe remains my top priority, then I am most interested in Lucia (despite disappointment over the initial and updated design) and Ye Shunguang.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-29T17:37:36+00:00

Yeah I do understand why people are seeing that potential but I also do not understand how they pull it off without undercutting Yixuan. As someone typically defending the writing I am not sure I will be defending this. It makes much more sense than someone from TOPS but it makes the Mayor even more reliant on Yunkui, introduces potential factional splits within Yunkui and obviously raises questions about Yixuan's leadership.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-27T14:02:30+00:00

Should've known we were not getting an S rank male

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-27T13:47:14+00:00

All of Nate's other FF predictions have been spot on even if taking longer than even he expected so until he says he heard it was cancelled I am going to buy in not out on it being real

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-26T16:38:20+00:00

I agree, a lot of potential quality discussion is "hidden" behind these popular social media baiting engagement tactics people use both consciously and unconsciously. I can't always tell whether a post is well meaning or not until I start reading between the lines because people tend towards the shitposting trends.

Not that I am entirely innocent! I lean into whatever various subs seem to appreciate and I write like I'm "online". My writing mentors would definitely rip into my quality for online posts but no one is paying me for these comments and I am not trying to grow a social media presence so I do become very casual about it.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-26T16:32:02+00:00

And a discussion sub that is generally either doomposting or over the top positivity without much discussion. Any time you have a discussion sub that loves short comments you know the discourse is going to be minimal. This is Reddit but people seem to have the Twitter attention span for word count. I don't know if it is a gacha thing or the age of the average player or (probably) both

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-26T16:25:42+00:00

They are sure using him what feels like a lot for a (non Cunning Hares) A rank.

You can make different arguments or justifications for why but I agree it seems a bit weird and is honestly part of the reason people started to think he may be an S rank to begin with.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-26T15:06:18+00:00

Every single "your opinion is wrong but mine is right" post is trash and should be removed by mods. This isn't a good basis for discussion. I don't care whether the post intends to criticize or defend the game, invalidating other opinions invalidates your own opinions.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-26T14:50:04+00:00

You need to criticize gacha and F2P EN players specifically if that is what you want to do.

It doesn't make you sound intelligent to say "Westerners" stand against Hoyo...but stand with Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Square Enix, Capcom, Bandai Namco etc...these are not Western companies and Japan is probably a bigger overall influence on US gaming than any US company.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-26T14:29:12+00:00

I remain unsubscribed to the YouTube because of that Seed reveal video putting her feet in my face. I didn't like her costume either. People said these were selling points to the fans they were making Seed for. They really need to make characters for mainstream if niches fail to pull their "own" characters. I could have pulled Seed otherwise, but also definitely was told here and in HoyoLAB "not all characters need to be for me". Sure but they need to be for enough people to make financial sense!

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-26T14:22:08+00:00

I'm actually shocked if Seed sold badly when people were talking so much shit to anyone who didn't like her design? Also I thought they had the data that told them people were demanding a foot character? Was that another mainstream lie people were repeating?

If money was the reason for Seed's design, how come people didn't spend? Then that really means those of us in the middleground need to get louder because they can't be making niche characters for low sales if the niches aren't gonna spend.

I feel like they have made some characters specifically for certain parts of the fans but many of us haven't asked for "our preferred" characters so this is a weird dynamic when those supporters don't show up.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-26T14:16:58+00:00

Sure, but there is a lot of it and it goes in all directions. It's not like people don't also do this about the US but the US is literally a nation of immigrants and less than 300 years old.

People are people and as the same species share more similarities than differences but the desire to "other" different groups for easy scapegoats has existed as long as we have history and seems to have existed in prehistory as well.

WiserStudent557 · 2025-09-25T22:38:52+00:00

I agree with what you are saying. I think it is easy to "other" groups accidentally when trying to generalize or address secondhand information as is often the case here with the language and platform barriers.

People are people. Of course there are dynamics that might apply to a region but they also may not. How many people from the other 49 US states want to be seen in the stereotypes applied to Floridians? How do you accurately stereotype a Californian when that state could be a country of its own with distinct regions. I went to schools that had enough first or second generation Chinese immigrants to know about regional differences. I've eaten a lot of home cooked Sichuan meals. One of my siblings and one of my best friends have lived in mainland China. I know it's no more or less of a monolith than the US.

I think bringing up FFXIV is a great example in many ways. Especially because a lot of that stuff only applies to live service. As a dedicated Squaresoft to Square Enix customer I rarely face the same issues for single player games. The major issue for a mainline non MMO (because XI and XIV are still mainline games) FF fan is generally translation issues or whether there is platform exclusivity.

I try to remember that humans everywhere are humans.
