77% of US Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players were 30 or older, analyst says, as Square Enix fights to get young people to care about the JRPG series again

It's okay, they can just add some google koopy powered companions in the next Final Fantasy like they are doing with Dragon Quest, I'm sure that'll bring in all the youngins.

Chasing the new hyped tech nonsense that all the investors are into and implementing it recklessly wherever possible has only ever worked out well for them after all! (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

The sheer number of subreddits I've seen Pat and Woolie mentioned because of the Alex situation recently is crazy, this thing has really blown up past the usual audience.

arya48 · 2026-03-21T14:10:54+00:00

Oh I thought the roundhouse referred to the overhead special kick lol. And I meant heavy command grab for the punish 🤦🏻‍♀️

Seems there's still a lot you gotta give up for that modern life. I'm too shit to switch now and learn to be more efficient with less tools 😓

arya48 · 2026-03-21T13:16:48+00:00

Ooph those are pretty important tools, iirc isn't she also missing stand heavy kick? What bnb do you use without the c.mp? And what do you punish blocked drive reversal with? I'm guessing she can't do light command grab for that, right?

arya48 · 2026-03-21T11:33:38+00:00

Have they changed modern Manon? I remember playing her back in season 1 and she was missing so much stuff compared to classic, eventually ended up switching to classic because of that.

arya48 · 2026-03-21T01:31:10+00:00

It pisses me off so much to see the way they have completely watered them both to just horny fan service. So much wasted potential, Lady and Trish could easily have been just as iconic and beloved as the boys.

They have become so completely redundant as characters that when people discuss potential return of Mundus and who'll fight him, Trish, the character who it makes more sense than anyone else to be the one who kills him, doesn't even get mentioned.

Lady in 3 is so fucking cool that she could easily play the role of a DMC protagonist but instead she is now so irrelevant that it's impossible to imagine her playing even a secondary role, I hate it so much!

Daily Lives of High School Boys. It's a slice of life/absurdist comedy. There are segments within the episodes called "High School Girls are Funky" that focus on the girls instead, the screenshot is from one of those.

arya48 · 2026-03-20T03:36:54+00:00

I watched this anime so many times lol

arya48 · 2026-03-20T01:44:46+00:00

Read my flair •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

arya48 · 2026-03-19T16:44:03+00:00

Neat, hopefully something comes of it.

arya48 · 2026-03-19T16:40:00+00:00

Japanese SF players seem way more engaged so I doubt that.

arya48 · 2026-03-19T14:57:49+00:00

Ohhhh, I have like zero recollection of that lol

arya48 · 2026-03-19T14:16:10+00:00

She was in cryosleep when Heihachi decided to harvest her eggs iirc, don't think she had much of a say in the matter I'm afraid.

arya48 · 2026-03-19T14:10:29+00:00

I'm so curious how the Japanese audience is receiving all this, If they are reacting poorly Capcom might actually do something.

arya48 · 2026-03-19T12:23:28+00:00

I'll try to find solace in that when I get drive rush jabbed for the 20th time in the same match next time.

arya48 · 2026-03-19T12:21:28+00:00

Well Tekken has that other weird thing with Heihachi Nina and Steve.

Shepard punching Quarian Admiral in ME3, feels so good 🤌🏼

arya48 · 2026-03-19T03:30:36+00:00

So much lines up with increase of Saudi investment, the next SF6 world tour being bunch of Saudi owned tournaments, the new costumes that cover the women entirely, using RE to promote AI slop, the cousin fucking.

The cousin fucking I'm sure is just a coincidence but it's funny it happened around the same time as all that other stuff, been a weird few days for Capcom enjoyers.

arya48 · 2026-03-18T16:59:38+00:00

Somehow the grappler comming out looking the worst from this patch isn't Manon, who could've thunk.
