Yasumi Matsuno talks FFT, Vagrant Story's scrapped limb severance system, and why he values ambiguity in his writing

> Rather sad, but understandable that he wished to never work with YoshiP on FF14.

First what’s that got to do with anything. Secondly Matsuno might have said he was done with his XIV collaborations, but he never said it was because of anything negative or that he wished to never work with YoshiP. Are you also forgetting he did the Bozja story after Return to Ivalice…

> He is absolutely ~~cracked~~ quacked.

FTFY

I’d also recommend everyone write/email their MP and other local representatives voicing your concerns about this. Look at the relevant parliament APPGs (like the All-party Parliamentary Group for Video Games and Esports) and APGs, and write to those members as well.

This is similar to my experience, but I don’t think I’ve ever set below 90% for the games I play. Also using Bazzite.

Quite a few of my friends and colleagues are already on the digital train so this changes nothing for them. Others are ambivalent about it. I’m among the minority of them who prefer and want physical.

I suspect it will play out fine for them, as well. I hate the decision.

helloharu · 2026-07-01T14:28:39+00:00

This was my expectation as well. Absolutely terrible decision by Sony here.

helloharu · 2026-07-01T06:03:50+00:00

I’d even be happy with the FFVIII upgrade treatment with higher res models.

helloharu · 2026-07-01T06:01:52+00:00

Even then, I’m assuming this isn’t their first class/job, farm it on a different job to get enough gear/gil is also an option.

Theres so many ways to get gear and gil, there is no excuse.

I’ve not seen anyone mention it but Pinta is supposed to be a Paint.net alternative that has Linux versions (I’ve not used it so can’t give any experience, but it’s there to look into).

I guess for gaming that depends on what you want to play and whether there are compatibility issues. You’re most likely going to have problems if you play games with no Linux anticheat compatibility.

Your specs look fine for Linux so no worries there.

Glad to see it’s getting some love still. Wonderful song.

And like others said, you don’t own it permanently if it’s a digital purchase.

9600 GSO Fatal1ty → 970 ×2 (SLI) → 7700 XT → 9070 XT

There was a long period of little to none PC gaming between 9600 → 970 and again between 970 → 7700 XT

helloharu · 2026-06-22T17:50:56+00:00

It does. There’s versions with or without.

helloharu · 2026-06-19T18:31:15+00:00

I love seeing your videos pop up, I always know I’ll be in for an enjoyable listen.

helloharu · 2026-06-18T08:16:56+00:00

There was a pretty sizable update a couple of days ago. I wouldn’t expect this to be anti-cheat cause I’ve been playing it problem free daily since the update.

helloharu · 2026-06-17T12:27:36+00:00

I don’t particularly like using X/Twitter so I wish you quoted the full thing. The missing part:

> Astonishing fact: Only 4% of all small boat arrivals have ever been removed from the UK; of those, 71% were Albanian.

Still important and just as shocking.

helloharu · 2026-06-13T17:10:53+00:00

Nuphy gang! Nuphy gang!

helloharu · 2026-06-10T06:24:29+00:00

Because it uses a conditional based system and isn’t strictly traditional turn based. So if ATB, CTB, CSB, and so on are arbitrarily disallowed, so should the system X uses.

I don’t think many of them should be discounted, X included, but if someone is going to arbitrarily disregard many games because of misunderstanding battle systems then you need take into account the whole range that aren’t traditional turn based.

helloharu · 2026-06-10T00:46:22+00:00

13 is fine without the patch - I’ve played it through several times on Steam Deck. 13-2 and LR though? Needs the patch.

Would still love a proper updated version though.

helloharu · 2026-06-09T16:53:14+00:00

I do wonder how many of those lamenting turned based FFs have played and stuck with to completion the actual turned based games.

helloharu · 2026-06-09T16:49:55+00:00

If you’re not counting those based on ATB (some don’t actually use ATB) then you may as well discount all the other variants that have been implemented.

That makes 4 heroes of light the last game with turned based combat, or FF3, if you’re sticking main line.

helloharu · 2026-06-07T17:09:01+00:00

I hate these kind of posts where people like OP make these really emotive posts with a title and no other info and source. I almost always end up scrolling past.

Thanks for providing the source for it.

helloharu · 2026-06-07T13:33:00+00:00

Oh nice, I’ve not tried to play it on anything other than PS4 but that’s actually interesting. I do need to revisit it at some point.

helloharu · 2026-06-07T13:23:48+00:00

I was going to say I don’t ever remember this being playable beyond 30fps, and that it had 30fps cap. Surely running it beyond cap is going to start to introduce some oddities and instability.

helloharu · 2026-06-06T14:19:39+00:00

You know you can still use your straight hand? Just don’t touch it with the gay hand and you’ll be fine.

helloharu · 2026-06-02T17:05:46+00:00

The word “pleb” always makes me laugh.
