Regarding the conversation with Glenn & Rufus, to quote Don Corneo, "As everyone knows, villains only divulge their plans in a certain situation. But what is that situation?" – When they think they've already won. :mon: The whole situation is end-to-end Rufus being hoisted by his own petard...

IGN got to have a quick chat with him about the game (since he's not able to say anything about the film) – and he's on his 7th playthrough. It's always nice ta see that the project's something that he's also probably got a solid level of vested personal interest in just as a fan, as that gives...

First is something that I think is REALLY worth knowing to encourage newer players – which is that you don't have to hyperfocus extremely efficient routing & boss rush every location or even be really good at a gigantic range of Elden Ring bosses to do well in Nightreign. One of the Japanese...

It's definitely worth checking out, and that GDT Frankenstein film does look solid. :monster: GDT & Tarsem Singh are the two directors whose use of color I most appreciate in their filmmaking, because it's always a specific detail that they focus on, and it gives this sort of storybook reality...

Thanks again for the assist in catching this. (I've de-bolded everything, since I doubt that was intentional, but as @Theozilla said, I'll likely miss these if you're not quoting replies, but it's especially odd that you're not doing that after that was a significant part of my reply). On to...

The absolute earliest I'd expect Part 3 would be Q1/Q2 of 2027, because that's when the Japanese Fiscal Year stuff happens, that's also when it'll be the 30th Anniversary of FFVII. That's why Remake & Rebirth had releases in April 2020 & February 2024 respectively. Given that shareholders and...

FIRST: Go to the training area and check out all of the Legendary Weapons. Every single one of them has a unique "while holding" effect on them that's brand new, and makes them feel absolutely INCREDIBLE when you get one. As an example, Radahn's Swords have an instant gravity effect on the...

Yeah, the Mutant Bear scene from Annihilation is still viscerally terrifying and uses a pretty surprising level of practical effects, and the behind-the-scenes stuff for the concept art and whatnot feels like it could just be dropped directly into a Souls game. I also think that the portrayal of...

So, to me that means that we'll be having REMAKE marketing covering things at least until the end of 2025 – so IF we get anything other than a Title for the Part 3 this year, I'll be quite surprised – since that's not even the Xbox playerbase hitting Rebirth yet. From the SquareEnix marketing &...

While CLAMP's X/1999 going on hiatus was for very different reasons it's worth noting that – that happened in 2003 before Advent Children was even announced, so it's very possible for something to enter a permanent hiatus rather than being officially cancelled. Essentially I think that it's more...

@Theozilla Thanks for the heads up, as I'd've missed this otherwise. :monster: If you're not actually using the "insert quote" function that's built-in to the forums, what this means is that the person won't get any notification that you replied to the thread to something they said – so there's...

Another really neat & under-emphasized asset that's in the game is that in the area of the Roundtable Hold where you can see everyone's victories, if you look at their equipment, it's tagged when there's something from a run where you died on in Night 1 or Night 2, and then appeared in their...

I love that she highlighted the sequence of the "world that has accepted its fate" how that everywhere you go, it doesn't matter what choice you WANT to happen at any of the shops - you get presented with something else that you just have to accept, but that also continues all the way up to...

Well, Rebirth kicked off the theme of building into war intentionally with overt blame of Wutai for the Reactor bombings, followed by Rebirth with Rufus testing the Junon Cannon which was in direct violation of the peace treaty between Shinra & Wutai, so this game design has been going there...

A buddy of mine mentioned that Alex Garland does the cinematic presentation of, "walking simulator where violence could happen at any moment" very well with his previous films which nails the tension of Elden Ring really well, but yeah – as with all video game film adaptations, extremely...
