Unlike many others here, I did enjoy Trials of Mana, so I am looking forward to this one. Looks amazing!

…except for that generic shonen hero. I am so done with games with generic shonen mc. I get that the new generation has to start somewhere, but it’d be nice to see more variaty in mc characters. Or on the very least let us create our own.

Why not be the best at something instead? I believe in you!

I was fine with the helpful bots here and there, but if someone is going to abuse it like this may as well just ignore them all. This is why we can’t have good things.

I remember reading in some other post there was a global setting in the Voyager app to block all bots, but I cannot find it now. Does anyone know where?

This may not be helpful, but anyways, I used to have a regular PS4 connected with a hdmi switch, but sporadically it would stop working. Nothing wrong with the cables themselves, and the switch was also fine (tested with other devices). Maybe it’s related to way the switch is internally configured?

In any case, I would recommend trying to find a switchless configuration.

Why does the mc have to be male? I’m tired of the old male hero trope, especially when so many mcs don’t talk or even have lines. If you’re going to give us a silent mc, at least make it customizable!

I have two. First, I’m in the VIII > VII camp. To be fair, I played FF8 before playing FF7 (though I’ve been playing FF since V), so the downgrade in visuals really hurt. I also don’t get what’s the deal with the Squall hate. Sure, he’s a bit whiney at the beginning, but you can really feel his growth. Same with his relationship with Rinoa (that’s her name, right?). I could see those two falling with each other in a more believable way than other jrpg ships.

Second one, V is better than VI. Sure, VI has higher production value, and arguably a better story, but the class system in 5 was top jrpg system in the snes era. I also felt more closely attached to the small cast of V rather than with the gigantic cast of VI (I honestly cried in the aftermath of Galuf vs Exdeath). Again, V was my first FF, so that may be nostalgia talking. Though I recently replayed with a patch that improves the class system, and it was a banger of a game. Plus, Battle on the Big Bridge.

Feel free to fight me.

Maybe in some colloquial definitions, but following the DnD conventions (which is what I assume op was talking about), Intelligence refers to knowledge, while Wisdom refers to perception, introspection, and metacognition (knowing that you know or don’t know something) . So I think high Wis (you are quick on perceiving things) but low Int (not being able to remember what you know) would apply.

It’s not a science, though. This is just my personal interpretation.

Shouldn’t it be the opposite? High WIS but low INT?

That’s a very good point. When I DM, I always let the players avoid any unnecessary rolling, especially if they get into character and describe what they do, if so they want. Something like, “you can skip rolling, and this happens, or you can roll and try a better outcome, but also risk a worst one.” Works wonders with all kinds of skills. For example, (in PF2e), you can spend two actions to climb that wall, with no need of rolling, or spend one action and an Athletics check to see if you can do it faster.
