The most recent Nintendo Direct contained many exciting announcements, but few caught my attention as much as Square Enix’s surprise reveal of Project Triangle Strategy.
HIGH A bright, cheerful presentation that defined “chibi” Final Fantasy.
LOW Completely missing the only thing that made the original cool in the first place.
WTF The proper usage and inflection of the word “Kupo”
HIGH A standard-shattering audiovisual spectacle.
LOW They somehow made Barrett worse.
WTF The entire project, conceptually.
Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these articles we discuss
general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game, but as the title
implies, it’s not a review. Instead, it’s an exercise in offering a quick
recommendation (or dismissal) after spending enough time to grasp the ideas and
gameplay of a thing without necessarily playing it from A to Z.
The subject of this installment: Final Fantasy VIII
Remastered, developed and published by Square Enix.
HIGH That soundtrack!
LOW Hitting level-locked story beats and having to grind for hours to continue with the game.
WTF The writing in an online MMO is significantly more accomplished than in the entire FFXIII series.
HIGH It comes with a demo for Final Fantasy XV…
LOW Listening to another FF filled with nonsensical gibberish like "l'Cie"
WTF Why are we still in the Final Fantasy XIII
