I'm of 2 minds on this one. Beyond the demo footage (which doesn't really bother me because it is still promotional material even if it leaked early), I have a MAJOR problem with the remaining leaks. That said, my sense of curiosity is such that I will view whatever I can find. I'm not opposed...

I’m hoping these leaks lead to them releasing the demo early, but I feel kinda bad about how much was data mined beyond that.

I’m a fan of of the AI approach for Cait Sith. I think it would explain why Reeve doesn’t need to constantly control him and it makes his loss in the temple a little more real. Also it would help with why he stays. Maybe he’s controllable but the his real personality is not a bad guy.

I actually thought that would be a fantastic thing to do at the beginning of Part 2. I saw a playthrough of New Threat and they had her rob the team in their sleep in Kalm and then get caught and added to the team directly after. I think that would be fantastic for the remake since I'm sure...

Depends on the size of the TV and how far you sit from it. Honestly, with most TVs today that are below 60 inches, you can't actually tell the difference between 1080 and 4K unless you are really close. The main reason 4K TVs look better with UHD Media is actually the HDR color depth rather...

There's several online stores. Nothing official that I could find, and I'm wary of them because I know some of them steal art and don't pay royalties to the artists. I personally designed my own and had my sister print it on a Silhouette machine.

There's also real-time raytracing. Basically, it can calculate very realistic reflections, refractions, ambient effects of colored material, and various other light effects in-game. To this point all reflections and refractions we have seen during gameplay have been done with some cheating...

I really like one of the points from @Vyzzuvazzadth in his video. It was only recently brought to my attention that the final fight with Sephiroth in the OG, (The one that's scripted to win) is actually Cloud fighting the part of Sephiroth in his own mind. I really love his idea that when...

Same thought. Just like Motorball makes a lousy end boss for Part 1 and I'm sure it's going to involve that new Soldier, ending it in Nibelheim would require some additional plot elements to make it feel complete.

I only recently started following you on YouTube and had never seen this video, but I have to say, I came to the same conclusions. Less analytically, mind you. I just had the thoughts of what seems like a fleshed out story arc and where tutorials could be placed. Seriously hope they don't...

Well Midgar is on 2 discs, so maybe just Midgar is RDR2 size..... That's actually scary to me in terms of future development.

I figure it’s just an easy minigame to incorporate. In most cases you never even see the fish so it’s just a set of probabilities. In FFXV they seemed to make it more like an encounter and probably stole some code from that aspect of the game. That and what I said about appreciating the...

Not nearly as involved as XV. Cast and reel when you get a bite. A slight change in higher levels where you can use certain catches as bait for bigger catches. Most of the challenge is in finding the fishing holes and catching all the local fish.

Yeah. I’ve been playing FFXIV for a while but never cared for the other gathering classes, so I hadn’t given fishing a chance until this past week. I’m now a lvl 27. My 4 year old daughter is also obsessed with sunrise and sunset right now so it’s been fun with her. Chilling out in Costa del Sol...

I know this won’t be a thing until part 2, but I’ve been thinking about how much I love fishing mini-games in both FF14 and FF15. I think it’s because they put so much love into these landscapes and I normally just find myself blasting through them, but fishing gives me a chance to truly...
