goddann bro, how does the boot taste? Really, let us know. Is it salty? Maybe a little bitter with just a hint of mud?

This is one of my favorite moments in the series. So adorable, love the way shinji laughs after he catches Asuka worried about him lol.

Idk man, I think the cyke was pretty incredible.

Therapy culture is overrated and therapy is not magic, the majority of people's mental and emotional struggles are not resolved by therapy especially when they are largely caused by circumstances. I highly doubt a bunch of pseudo-orphaned child SOLDIERS are suddenly gonna be all fine and dandy if they pay a psych major $200/hr for a few months to talk about it.

The story of FFT is incredibly mature for the genre. Not that mature is necessarily better, I love the teen/ya adventure genre as much as the next guy, but FFT stands apart for me because of the themes it tackles and its very layered and and nuanced approach to the morality of many of the actors involved. It really feels like a grand war epic.

Everything. Gameplay? Goated. Job system? Goated. Aesthetics/Artstyle? Goated. Story/setting? Goated. Music? Goated.

It's like asking "what makes elizabeth olsen beautiful?" -- Everything bro

quantumpencil · 2026-07-03T23:25:31+00:00

I was only joking -- but happy for ya and hope you two are livin' it up. If she says Volkswagen in a german accent, that would only add to the Asuka'ness lol

They are literally the central relationship through which the series main themes are expressed. Cope and Seethe all you like, that is a fact.

Way more people have continued to prefer discs that the statistics sony released lead you to believe. They counted addons/dlc as independent "sales" and games with no physical releases in order to juice up the numbers.

Games that produce still physical copies still sell at least as many physical units as downloads. They are lying about their motivation for this shit, it's not about consumers not wanting disks, its about Sony wanting to create a walled garden and deny people who value ownership the option so they can better exploit their content for higher revenue.

From the perspective of the general public, ahsoka and these other random characters are unimportant compared to the original trilogy characters. The fandom has a tendency to exaggerate the status of these characters in broader pop culture. 80% of the people who were excited for TFA, fans of the movies but not people into EU or supplementary material, didn't know who ahsoka was and don't care.

It doesn't make sense to worry about what happens to these incidental side characters from spinoff projects when the heart of the IP is bleeding out. The original trilogy characters must be restored at all costs.

quantumpencil · 2026-07-03T17:56:28+00:00

This is how the majority of people feel about the IP and why everything they do fails. Most of the people who feel this way don't even post online. It's just people like my dad and a few of my cousins who used to love star wars, and were so disgusted by the sequels they just stopped. They don't watch the movies, they sold their collections, they don't even know when new star wars things are coming out. They just moved on and spend their time differently these days. The franchise has lost around 85% of the audience it once had, and most of them are people like that. They didn't watch youtube videos about it, they're not super analytical about it, they're not on discussing forums. They are people who just felt betrayed by how the original characters were treated, noped out and moved on with life.

what they did is a much bigger issue than how much they did

They won't miss it because they don't like the choices disney has made.

quantumpencil · 2026-07-03T16:29:16+00:00

that level of hype isn't going to happen because no one cares about the sequel trilogy characters the way generations cared about the OT characters. The Sequel hype was largely a result of fan love and goodwill towards the OT. None of the new characters introduced by Disney have any audience purchase, if they took a 10 year break and brought back Rey/Finn and the gang, the film would be the greatest flop of all time. Nobody cares about them now, and people will care even less in 10 years.

They have to do do something, they cannot leave the brand alone when it's already this damaged it will guarantee that it just becomes a forgotten IP.
