Simply listing off locations is misleading. For one thing, Kalm is when we get all the Cloud/Sephiroth backstory, which means we would also need Nibelheim done to go with it. Meanwhile Junon is huge. It may not be as big as Midgar, but it's still probably the second largest city in the game. On...

Uh... those ARE all of the games he's directed. The 'dozen or so' are literally all Kingdom Hearts, and Kingdom Hearts biggest flaw, that being a craptastic story, has been present since the very beginning and runs through the entire series. The only non-Kingdom Hearts things he's ever directed...

Advent Children, Kingdom Hearts, FFXV, and now FFVII Remake. Those are Nomura's director credits. Originally planned as a 20 minute short film, Advent Children got feature creeped (or maybe better to call it scope creep?) into a full length feature film that can be best summed up as 'looks...

Read that article already, didn't sell me on it. I read a statement like the one above, and all I hear is 'someone at Square needs to hire a fucking story editor'. Not every detail in the world needs fleshing out. I don't need to know what Cloud ate for breakfast the day Sephiroth wiped out his...

Congratulations, you nailed it. I'm impressed by the audacity/failure because I expected them to at least make an episode out of the first disc of the game. Just Midgar, really? And it's taken them 4 years? We can expect the full game to be 8 episodes long, cost hundreds of dollars, and be...

The thing is that that has nothing to do with them 'intentionally' making her ugly, as evidence by the fact that they made the attempt to fix it, and everything to do with them being unable to get the engine to work right because Frostbite is a dumpsterfire to work with for anything that isn't...

Man, so many people forget that Mewtwo's unlock condition was literally 'play the game for 20 hours or fight 700 battles', while Mr. Game & Watch was 'beat classic mode with every character (including the aforementioned Mewtwo) or fight 1000 battles'. Having to put time and effort into unlocking...

Review aggregate sites, by their very nature of letting anybody leave their opinion, are highly vulnerable to things like review bombing. A small group of persistent and pissed off people can wage a campaign to tank any movie or game's score (or vice versa). Wanna know what's even better than...

This is something the internet has to get over itself about. TLJ is viewed extremely positively by the movie going public at large. Just because an extremely vocal minority doesn't like something, doesn't mean the silent majority who can't be bothered to argue over internet forums agrees.

Exactly In order for that to happen, it needs to finish being absorbed into the mainstream, which, for as much as people like to talk about how much more mainstream geek culture has become, that transition is not yet complete. Sports is still considerably more mainstream than a cartoon about...

Everyone knows they're loud minorities, but just because they're the minority doesn't mean there isn't still too many of them. Even one person starting a riot at a Mcdonalds over fucking chicken nugget sauce is entirely too many. In this case, a population of one would still be tragically...

Yayyy, finally some reason to visit this site again. As much as I love Zero Punctuation, it alone was not enough to make it worth coming back here.

Considering it's been years since the Escapist even had news articles and analysis, you already have been.

Oh shit, was Crossxedge actually made by Compile Hearts? I knew they were involved in that game, but since it was a cross over, a ton of companies were, so I didn't realize they were the ones who actually made it. Freaking LOVED that game. It definitely had its share of flaws (a lot of them...

And yet there's also a reason why people are still playing it in droves. If you feel it doesn't have enough content to justify the price, it's as simple as not buying the game. It's not like the contents of the game are a secret, you know what you're getting going into it, so either you think...
