16:38 <eely_delving> is it okay if I talk about video game for a second
16:38 <eely_delving> (I am so so sorry)
16:39 <eely_delving> I started playing Lightning Returns last night
16:39 <eely_delving> and I think it is the best Final Fantasy Thirteen yet
16:40 <eely_delving> It is a game with a twenty-four hour game clock for
verisimilitude
16:40 <eely_delving> even though the previous two games established as a background
fact that the world has a twenty-six hour clock
16:41 <eely_delving> (though it was never a topic of up-front discussion)
16:41 <eely_delving> (art-design Orwell joke)
16:42 <eely_delving> however in the process of changing the twenty-six hour clock to
a twenty-four hour one, the writers of Lightning Returns are put
in the position of having to overtly state that the world
previously had twenty-six hours, but now only has twenty-four
16:42 <eely_delving> (under the banner "Missing Time")
16:42 <eely_delving> none of the clocks in the game have thirteen numbers on their
face
16:43 <eely_delving> this has been my review of Lightning Returns
16:46 <miaou> what
16:47 <eely_delving> maybe that sounds unnecessarily negative
16:47 <eely_delving> you can drink coffee (or maybe even booze) to recover hp
16:48 <miaou> square's lost the plot
16:48 <eely_delving> you can also dress Lightning up as a Conde Nast intern

Lightning reminds me a lot of Squall -- someone reading hero dialogue in a Daria voice. Her boredom and contempt boils right off the screen.
I don't play a lot of games made by people I don't know ; is it normal for triple-A games to feature King's Field textures on doors with octogon knobs |

I mean in the literal "this castle door is locked at" Castlevania64 sense (check out in the desert ruins)
busker playing acoustic guitar cover of Final Fantasy III's overword theme
desert Goblot's look just like the Psygnosis logo
character I care most about is probably Chocolina |

two separate missions revolve around answering a mysteriously ringing payphone
game is reminding me fiercely that Kazushige Nojima was the guy who wrote those Tantei Jiguji Saburo games (hella detective feeling stuff in some of these quests)
(I don't think he even wrote this one huh huh)
